It. Is. Dumb.

However....every retailer that carries PSH and Mystery Minis will probably have these on the same shelf (not everyone who collects has a GS or Target in their town).
As far as displaying them, if these are regular Pocket Pop!, you can unscrew the keychain from the head and display them along with the larger Pop! version or put them in a case or on a riser the way some people display other mini figures.

The Disney set is basically repeats, while the Marvel set is mostly as well. However, that doesn't bother me much since I don't have many of either series aaaand I don't mind duplicate keychains. The BTAS set is great, I love seeing Phantasm, Batgirl, and Bane as Pocket Pops. I hope they expand, and we get more like Nickelodeon (was disappointed they only released a Chuckie, so maybe now we can get others via these) and anime.

But if some of them are vaulted, or no longer easily available, this could work. I was a little surprised to see that the Belle version was the live action movie version, instead of a new dancing version. With as fragile as some of them are to begin with (the ones I have aren't sturdy), I can see a lot of them being broken in shipment or with people "feeling" out the bags to get the one they want.

I don't collect full size pops anymore, so this is a great way for me to get these characters.

smach28 wrote:True, but Imagine not getting the one you really wanted, what will they do now, but now I'm thinking of it, there might be lots of more trades on the forums for the people who want a different keychain.

They could. I mean, other toy companies like Kidrobot and Tokidoki seem to have a lot of success with their blind boxed keychain lines.

I've honestly never had that problem with my keychains. I mean, as long as they're not constantly caught in stuff or being thrown against hard surfaces, they should be okay.

I still think that's entirely too much considering you can get a full sized Pop for $9-$10 some places, but I definitely would not spend anywhere near that on a blind bag keychain. The only two Pop keychains I own came out of the clearance bins in Barnes and Noble for $2. I know that I'm cheap and plenty of others will love this, but this line is definitely not for me.

I agree, but maybe its just hers were bad quality.
