A couple of months ago, Toy Tokyo announced a protective case for Funko Pop! vinyl figures, called Pop! Stacks. These Pop! protective cases are official products of Funko, and sold exclusively by Toy Tokyo. Unlike the Pop! protectors that have existed before these are not made of a thin, flimsy plastic (not much thicker than the window on the Pop! vinyl boxes). These protectors are made of a durable polycarbonate material. Another difference between the the Pop! Stacks and the alternative protectors is the pricing. The alternate protectors average about $1 a piece, while the Pop! Stacks cost $8. That's why it is recommended by many that these protectors only be used for very special or rare Pop! figures. The Pop! Stacks feature two lids (top and bottom), and are fairly durable. They are far more protective than the cheaper alternatives. These removable lids offer easy access, to insert or remove the Pop! figure The case is made to fit exactly with the average Pop! figure. So any deformities in the box, if severe enough will not allow the Pop! to fit properly.
The Down Side Besides the higher price point, the Pop! Stacks feature another disadvantage. Although durable, they are not unbreakable. A fall onto a hard floor from the height of the average shelf can cause these protectors to break. As long as these Protectors are kept in a stable place, they will be great for protecting your valuable Pop!s. Final Thoughts Even with the pricing and chances of breaking, I personally think that these protectors are worth getting. As stated earlier, as long as they are kept in a stable area the Stacks will do an amazing job protecting your most valuable Pop! possessions.
