Expanding the Book line

[Katers]

With certain book figures should they go classic or the modern take?

I guess it depends on what it is, but I really would love a nice classic take. Especially on things like Sherlock Holmes or Nancy Drew. I will never say no to a Benedict Cumberbatch one though if they choose to go modern.

I think it would depend, for me at least, on which take got it right! If it's the classic version that everyone pictures, then 100% classic it should be! If they got it wrong the first time, but got it right with the updated version, then go with that! Go with the vision that is RIGHT!

[Katers]

I don't know if I would have the same resilience as you to get to a point where I could even get 11 of the same one. But goodness, that must have been traumatic. I got really bummed just getting three of the same so I knew that mystery minis weren't for me.

It was my first entry to the world of MM, and yeah, it was ROUGH. But that was when I really started getting involved here, and started weighing minis and looking for info on layouts. Knowing is half the battle, right??

That being said - anything that doesn't need to be a mystery should not be a mystery! Just the subject of mystery, not a mystery itself!

Hahha, yes. I was like whaa, people know the weights? It seemed like too much commitment for me.

I agree that the mystery theme is mystery enough! No need to make it more complicated hahah.

Yeah, for all that I never manage to snag chase figures, pops are a lot less stress. You either got it, or not. There's no guessing!

Definitely hahah. There's no buying a pop and turning around wondering if you need to pick up another one because you already got that same mini

[booboo79]

How about a bloodied Joe from the addictive “You”?

(Don’t laugh at me)

No laughing, since I"m not sure what that is? But I'm always looking for new things - share, please!

Oh my gosh you must read Caroline Kepnes’ “You”! Or at least watch the series on Netflix! Had zero desire to check it out. Watched ep 1 and was hooked

No, the only issue with pops is when you buy the same one twice because you forgot you bought it in the first place!

I appreciate the rec! I did look it up...seems VERY suspenseful! Which means I might die - I never do well with suspense! Still - added to the list for future reading, and again - thanks!

It was def suspenseful and edge of your seat. Feel free to PM me a list of your interests and I can send ya some recs.
Enjoy!

Hahaha! My issue is being more cautious and not getting pops when I see them and all of the sudden they're climbing the price tag.

[TenTwoSix]

Pops based on goosebumps stories would be cool!

[HeyEveryoneItsFlarpy]

Goosebumps for sure! There's so many possibilities they could do

[Popsonpopsonpops_]

Goosebumps for sure! There's so many possibilities they could do

Definitely agree with this. I grew up reading goosebumps books asim sure many of us did. I feel like it would be a highly wanted pop line!

[Katers]

Hahaha! My issue is being more cautious and not getting pops when I see them and all of the sudden they're climbing the price tag.

Ugh, tell me about it! I seem to split the difference - half the time I don't buy them and regret it (looking at you, TargetCon Captain Marvel!), or I do buy it and regret it afterwards (actually, also Target, but last year!). Some day I'll find a happy medium.

Of course, if we did get book line pops, I'd probably go all out buying my must-haves!

[MacKazoo]

Hopefully the book line could include some graphic novel characters. I don’t think those characters would get a chance anywhere else.

[rexflexall]

Goosebumps, hell yeah!

[HarryPOPter]

Ooh, that's definitely an interesting idea! Which ones were you thinking?

That'd be awesome if there was answers to how to find a happy medium. I'd want book Sherlock!

I was thinking maybe Bone or the samurai rabbit one

Bone would be a cute one!

[MacKazoo]

Thank you, I wish I remembered that Samurai bunny name

They might put that in the comics line...

[Ar7]

Goosebumps
- Slappy
- The Yeti
- Zombie
More Captain Underpants/Dog Man
- Dog Man
- Petey
- Proffesor Poopypants in mech suit
Diary Of A Wimpy Kid
- Greg
- Manny
- Rodrick
- Mom
- Dad
- Patty Ferrell
- Chirag

My 10yr old son would flip over Dog Man and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Maybe a cheese touch “book moment.”

[rontonsoup]

They should do a Choose Your Own Adventure, then based on your answers, you get a random Pop at the end. Not very realistic, but I loved those books

That’s true but who knows what would happen

I think the happy medium is absolutely buy it, but if you're rethinking it, make sure you take it back within maybe a week!

I would love for them to make book Sherlock - so many presents out of the way if they did that for me!

[Katers]

Thank you, I wish I remembered that Samurai bunny name

Usagi Yojimbo?

[MacKazoo]

Thank you, I wish I remembered that Samurai bunny name

Usagi Yojimbo?

Yes thank you I actually ran into the creator at a con one time

[g3ohss]

Flocked Clifford the Big Red Dog
(along with Emily, of course)
Pokey Little Puppy
and Rainbow Fish are good ones too!
Madeline
James and The Giant Peach
Miss Spider
Berenstain Bears

Def flocked Clifford would be awesome

[HarryPOPter]

That's a good system to have hahah. Pops make such good presents! They're cute and to non collectors they're perfect because you know they won't be picky about it hahah

A goosebumps choose your own adventure pop theme would be so interesting! It could be a subscription box and based on the contents in the first box you have to mail in your adventure choice for the next box and the pop you get will be different from your friend who chose something else!

[Katers]

That's the best thing about cons! You never know who you'll run into!

Me...I'm famous for running into famous people, and not noticing until after the fact. Spent an elevator ride with Misha Collins last year, CHATTED with him, and didn't notice until we'd all walked our separate ways and my friend whacked me in the arm and marveled over how cool I'd been not being a fangirl!

They really do make good presents! Of course, for non-collectors, you can only gift a few before you have to move on. Or you have to watch them unbox them to display...!

Yeah that would be cool

I like this idea. In addition it would be great to see some comic strip characters as well. I'm glad we are starting it off with Garfield, etc.

[ckjohns85]

I am a HUGE book lover/collector. I've been saying for awhile we need book pops. Specifically YA ones... More specifically... A Court of Thorns and Roses and Throne of Glass. but until then, I will continue to make my own for fandoms they don't have pops for!

[Crazykidrev]

Would love some pops for The Neverending Story!! Falkor would look so cute!!!

[TenTwoSix]

Comic stips would be good!

[MacKazoo]

I wonder what characters they could make with comic strip characters. I know one thing for sure and that is Calvin and Hobbes are definitely off the table

More peanuts would be nice
