I love the glow on some newer pops compared to some of the older horror chases on this shelf, but horror will always have a special place in my heart, especially since they connect with glowing so well. Pics with blacklight on, and the glow afterwards that only takes a couple of minutes to charge.

Mac, could you point me in the direction of those black light LED strips please?

A glow with the original genie would have been very nice to have. Great glow though! Definitely some great glow collections displayed in this thread

Constance doesn't actually GITD, but her translucency does make for some good photos using a black light.

You can still see the glow in box, but the details are best appreciated OOB! Just need a decent UV light source and you're good to go!

Agreed. As mentioned, when displayed out of box, there are some pops that have some great details on the back as well. Depends on the pop. 2 of each can get expensive

Whatever makes you happy at the end of the day. I don't really think there's a right or wrong way to collecting!

Seeing your picture just made me bite the bullet and order the madame leota off ebay. I was hoping Disney would come around and put it online, but the realization hit me that it probably wasn't going to happen. Awesome pic and thanks for the added push to order lol

Unfortunately GITD pops are my weakness. I end up getting a lot that don't match anything else I collect just because of the awesome glow. I don't collect anime at all, but I have several glow ones.

I'm sure I'm not the only glow Pop aficionado, time for us to have our own thread to compare notes I admit I have a problem, I buy certain Pops just because they glow, ! For example Adipose, I never watch Doctor Who and don't even know what Adipose is (my son said it's a glob of living fat) but it looked like it would glow nicely, so I bought it! And wow, it glows reeeeeally well, gives Creature a run for his money! And as an added bonus the arms and legs glow blue under black light (more blue in person than in the photo), way cool! Strangely when the black light is switched off it all glows the same color.

Anyway I'm hoping we can compare notes on good glowers versus bad glowers. In the pic below are some impressive glowers and one particularly poor one. Up there on top. Yeah, Ghost Rider. Pretty anemic. Frankenstein and his bride are just about that bad, I'll try and get a pic of them later. Catbug isn't real bright, but the color is cool. I have a few other glowers on the way, will add pics of them when I get them.

The pic is of the Pops in a velvet-lined bat case, I have two that I will be wiring up with uv led's and hanging on the wall.

From left to right:
Adipose, Vault Boy, Jesse Pinkman hazmat, Walter White hazmat proto, Jesse Pinkman hazmat proto, Walter White hazmat, Catbug, Creature from the Black Lagoon

Thank you for bringing this thread back to life. Amazing wall of glow pops you have there.

Is the color placement on purpose? Bunch of greens, then blues, then the warmer colors from left to right.

The custom Leo needs to take center stage. Wow.

Looking forward to getting some pics up here in the near future as well.

Postby **nolimitsinhim** » Tue Apr 21, 2020 10:16 am

Hi!! Yes I got bored one day and decided to try and color coordinate them. LOL.

it presents a couple challenges
1. I ended up having to group all the multicolored ones together
2. I have to rearrange them a bit every time I get a new one (but I gets that keeps it fun too lol

)
