Rainbow Brite Base

Postby post31 » Sat Jun 09, 2018 9:14 pm

A friend of mine just got the rainbow brite pop and the base (that little plastic thing that your Pops stand on when they can’t stand on their own) is rainbow. Wouldn’t it be cool if they made bloody and glow in the dark ones.

I think having different themed bases would be a cool idea (so long as the pops are not attached to it, that drives me nuts on the star wars ones).

That would be awesome if they made various bases to match different pops. Like chases could have ones, like you mentioned bloody and glow bases, that match them. The diamond edition ones that need bases would be great if the bases had glitter!

One of my friends suggested flocked ones I was like a green flocked one could look like grass that would be cool I think.

I got really excited when I found her ... Twink and the Rainbow vase were icing on the cake. I love the idea of themes bases.

....but then I would have to open more of my pops!?

I definitely want a bloody base, that would be super cool. Or maybe like one that’s battle damaged if the Pop! has a gun in an action pose.

The rainbow base for this Pop is a nice added detail! Would definitely be cool to see more base articulation in other Pops.

I like this idea. Overwatch logo would have been a perfect application on the bases for those figures that needed em. Or just in general even, heh.

It's so annoying that they've started gluing them to the base. No one asked for this! Keep them like they were before. We can choose if we want the base or not.


It is, I like to photograph my pops, so it bothers me when I can't take them off their bases. I think I read somewhere that the change might have been due to a licensing issue, but who knows. I really wish they would reconsider though.

Yup that’s exactly it... for us people that love taking pictures they kind of get in the way.

I loved the rainbow base, it was a nice surprise!

The Yuri on Ice pops also have clear light blue bases like they are on the ice. I love those as well.

I wish bases weren't even necessary but I understand the reasoning for them. As long as they aren't glued to it (i.e. Star Wars). But yes, it would be cool to have more bases coincide with the pop, especially for those of us that like to do pop photography. We won't have that clear base that messes up our shots. Haha.

I haven't bought a SW pop in a while. I had no idea they were gluing them to the bases. That sucks.

Other characters. Horror yes for sure.


I guess I could be down for a bloody rainbow brite depending on the context of which she was made. Im sure I could come up with some good story line.. Like she tried to take out Chucky or something.
