So previously I used to collect Lootcrate, but quickly realised that the thing I loved from them the most were Pop Vinyls!
I'm not sure what my obsession with them are, but they are just so eye-catchingly awesome to look at. It started off that I got some from my girlfriend for Christmas (A giant Baymax, Rose Tyler, Tenth Doctor and a Stormtrooper) and ever since then I just fell in love with the concept of them, the design of them, and loved the fact that they were related to movies, and TV shows, even stuff like Power Rangers and Ninja Turtles that I grew up with!
So I started buying Pops as I went, normally with supermarket shopping, as most are about £10, unless you're looking to get big Pops, or special Pops etc. The 6" Pops are around £15-£20 but take up a lot more shelf space, I'd say around the size of about 3 normal Pop boxes, but they make the collection stand out and look awesome wherever they are.
I have around 25 Pops now, which I have built up since Christmas and steadily increasing that figure each month. I have a subscription to Popinabox which comes to £25.17 a month, they send me 3 random pops each and every month, and it's a massive surprise what comes through the door. There is something called a Pop Tracker, where you can add which Pops you have in your collection, and add Pops you would like to your collection, but they do not always send them from your list. If you're interested in more information or want to sign up, have a look at my affiliate link below :) (If you make a purchase, it will also help me earn a free Pop, and I'll be forever in your debt)
>>More Information Here<<
There are many different crates or subscription boxes that you can get Pops in, but this one is a specific Pop related one, so you won't get any other tat, or anything you don't particularly want, because lets face it, it's annoying when you get something like a duplicate comic book, or a duplicate whatever, so this avoids that, straight up Pops at prices that I personally think are unbeatable.
So I think it's about time I showed you my current Pop collection, it's not the biggest or the best, but is still pretty damn awesome sauce!

There are some new Pops that are coming out in April and May that I am excited to get as well! And some Pops that are out right now here's a few of what I'm looking at buying within the next few months.
1. Stranger Things Pops (Would seriously recommend watching this on Netflix, new series comes out on Halloween too, get caught up man). Included in this Set:
A). Barb
B). Dustin
C). Will
D). Eleven with eggos
E). Mike
F). Lucas
G). Demogorgon
2. The new Overwatch Pops, these look soooooooo sooooo good, some big exclusive 6" Pops are in this collection as well! The Pops that come in this collection are as follows:
A). 6" D.V.A with Mecha
B). 6" Reinhardt
C). Mei
D). McCree
E). Lucio
F). Symmentra with mini Turret
3. I think these Pops are my favourite upcoming release because they are so cute! Cute and from a classic Disney film. Though the title is very hard to say when drunk - Ratatouille. These pops are included.
A). Emile with cheese - how cute, please?
B). Alfredo Linguini
C). Remy (look at his little chef's hat man)
I could probably go on for days and days about which Pops I want, or what ones look amazing, but I wouldn't have enough time to go on and on and on! But I'm going to be sharing the Pops I get each month from Popinabox, and also any Pops that come out that float my boat!
If you're new the Pop Vinyl world (like me) or a Pop noob, the thing that had me guessing for ages, was just what are the numbers for on the top right corner of each box, is it a model number? Is it a collection number? Turns out it identifies a specific mould that has been used to create it, hence why some of my Pops have the same number, baffling but makes sense! Another cool thing is that every time a new batch of Pops is shipped it includes a 'flocked' or a 'chase' this is the same Pop, but a different variation to the rest, it could be a different hair colour, different outfit or a different anything really, these Pops are obviously more valuable as they are rarer than just the mass-produced standard Pops.
Anyway, I think I've rambled on for far too long, hope you've enjoyed my post in relation to my Pops, if you're interested in getting 20% off your first Pop order from Popinabox, then use the link above, this will also help me towards getting some free Pops! And that would be awesome!
I'll see you in the next one.
