Anime POPs have been getting a lot of love lately, and I'm all here for it!

They may be on fire now, but let's just hope they don't crash and burn too quickly.

IMO, it’s been the most popular genre - especially when considering how fast their values skyrocket when released from a special event like a con. I’d add that it’s a relative comparison to what else is being released. The most recent example would be Muichiro from Demon Slayer. The anime adaption hasn’t really exposed how important he is to the story yet vs the manga but he’s at mid-grail value ($200+) already and he was released just over 6 months ago.

Anime tends to lend itself to cool designs for pops. I’ve definitely started watching different anime after seeing some pops.

Anime has always been hot or that’s how I feel. I do feel there has been a big influx of anime collectors over the last few years. I think with the updated molds they are just killing some pieces

anime pops are always a hit. the character designs make them easily attractable and unique. seems like voice actors/creators for autographs are more attainable as well

true. the details are on another level than the first years of pops. i cant imagine how bad these would look if they were made in the early years.

I think they have always been pretty popular. Now there is just more being released so it’s just nice to be able to hit all genres of collectibles. Now everyone can have a pop lol. :freddy2:

most definitely, especially with how more mainstream anime has become in more recent years. it also helps the anime pops being released are more current popular ones or have an active fanbase

This guys seems interesting, with the detail in the hair and weapon he is holding, but the cloth obscuring his face is so big, it worries me that the majority of the pop (at least in the box window) is pretty blank.

I guess this one really needs to be OOB to enjoy it.

I would say they always been popular, though I would prefer they start to branch into different anime like how they are doing trigun, love the series, and a nice 6 or so.

I LOVEEEE one piece but i dislike when they drop 20 pops in one wave like I like when they tone it down to 6 or 8 per wave. It makes it easier on our wallets and slows down the potential burnout/oversaturation

I think the pandemic set anime off on a big upward trajectory! With lockdown people had nothing to do at times but watch tv and anime series were easy to binge watch.
