Seems like marvel and dc is dominating this line, which is cool, but it’ll be awesome if they’ll venture off and give us some
Disney maybe some MOTU. lol

I find that I like the regular versions a bit more than most of these with chases. Iron man could have been a decent one to have with that chase.

Just got my Thor Die cast. Didn't get a Chase but I honestly like the regular ones better. It's definitely packed well and has some weight to it.

I never ended up with any die cast pops ? Is it worth it ?? I feel the chases are plain and not liking it. That's just me.

Boy do I hear you on that, especially with the chases, which because of the price I had to give up on not getting if I didn't get it with my initial purchase.

I feel as though the quality is probably worth it, but I feel like with the Hikari line it unfortunately won't last. The price point is just too high given the economy right now,

too expensive to collect all of them. but i like displaying them in box a lot more too. lower the price to $30 or $35 and I'd be on board 100%.

They are super heavy, but I'm not a big fan of the chases. Feel like they are missed opportunities for other options.

You make a good point.. $50 for the die cast I believe it is but people still buy them so I actually think it'll last. Yes economy sucks right now. Let's just hope it gets better.

I also think the chase are lazy. The chase can be other colors or even maybe a different mold.

Elewitt2022 wrote:What is the general feeling about Die Casts among the Fukofunatic Community?

I actually like the way that they display - they feel protected but also totally visible. Easy to open if you want to - not like a pop protector, where once it goes in, I dare not try to open it again and damage the thing I am trying to protect.

And I like the weight of them - they feel substantial!

But I get that they also cost a lot more. So, maybe best for special characters or product lines.

Where do we think they will go next with future Die Casts?

I like them ... I just dont like their price lol ... I only got the boba feet because i just love that character and dont think I will get any more ... one improvement they could make is to make the cover metallic so it sticks to the base

I agree the chases are kinda plain but I guess it makes for more variants down the line ... I kinda wish they made a white boba as the chase ...

Like I would have really tried to get a die cast Boba Fett in prototype armor. Or even animated version.

Cap could have had US Agent colorway as chase.

Oh I like the proto type armor idea, so far boba fett is my favorite for how the chase is. If I could find a normal boba fett and a decently priced spray/paint combo, I'd try making that on my own.

I love the die cast line but man are they a bit on the pricy side of things. However, I'd def go into debt for these if they released Game of Thrones and Avatar ones.
