I love the colors, I am not a fan of the circle mask logo thingy. I think my fav of the logo ones so far has been the Coke common.

I’m shocked they are still making these to be honest.

I got the Ultraman one but this one doesn't interest me at all.

Love the design but not a fan of that brand.

The Jumbo Chan series is way way better than the Project Fred series, IMO.

Really not sure what market they are after with these.
Definitely a hard sale between price and love for the IP

I agree with what many others have said. Everyone’s a fan of something, but I guess I’m not a fan of Project Fred :sad1: I don’t think I’m the target audience though, since I also didn’t like Artist Series Pops.

I think the Big Boy and Fruity Pebbles ones look cool, since they look like characters, but the logo ones really don’t appeal to me. I think Bearbricks is similar in that they use the same mold, sometimes painted as characters, sometimes painted with designs/art, but from what I’ve seen those designs look more artistic and less like slapping a logo on something.

Interesting design. I actually work with someone who worked for Pan-Am and mentioned this to them. I don't know if they'll go for it but they certainly enjoyed it getting made.

I am too. Maybe there’s an audience for these but this Pan Am Fred just isn’t for me.

Nothing from both Project Fred and Jumbo Chan has caught my eye. Their designs are not spectacular, in my opinion.

I was hoping to get into the Project Fred and loved Big Boy, but I just am not into these. I think the Jumbo Chan line works perfect especially what has been released so far.

Same here, especially the random off beat collabs.

That was a Jumbo Chan. These are different lines.
