I'm still on the fence if I should cancel my sub after getting Sssqueeze and cherry pick the rest since I'm not a POP guy... So could you please tell me how many potential POP slots left in the Eterina Sub?

So only two left? Interesting, probably it's not worth canceling the sub after all!!!Comment

In all honesty, I'm really wondering if Perfuma will come with an alternate Filmation Hordak head. For some reason, I keep having that thought in my mind. Maybe it's because of the flowers for Hordak episode?
I really like Perfuma, by the way.Comment

If we are talking about Vintage POP, there's only one more character left: Perfuma.
After that, there will be no more POP except for Filmation characters and the three remaining Vintage POP variants: Starburst She-Ra, Vintage Barbarian Catra and Scratching Sounds Catra, I think.Comment

I'm sick of all the POP figures. Thanks god all that's left is Perfuma!"If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all." ― Noam ChomskyComment

Now now guys, you know you done goofed up when I have to stop by and tell you to respect the POP fans. You don't have to buy it, or like it, but don't shit on it, just because it is only POP. Those fans are actually better off than NA fans, so take the time to let a NA proponent know to enjoy DARE and Skeleteen. (Sarcasm on the last sentence),
With that said, POP fans please check out my BST to get POP figures for trade or at cost.

I don't hate POP, I'm just sick of the onslaught of POP figures all at the end of the line. Too much all at once."If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all." ― Noam ChomskyComment

Pop just wasn't spaced out enough. We should have had a few more figures mixed in earlier in the line. I love POP, but I'll agree that Mattel boxed themselves in and had no way to get all of the POP figures out by the end of 2015 except by loading up the sub and doing a minisub. -
Hahahaha! I feel the same about the Vintage variants. They crammed the remaining figures into one year, so it's an overload.
Poor NA might only get it's major characters and call it a day.

I on the other hand, don't like POP in my subs simply because I'm paying for something that I don't need, and that's why I haven't purchased the Etheria sub even though I appreciate some of the figures and how cool they look.Originally posted by Draego-Man View PostComment

I can also circle around and stick this one on Scott nutlick too. Star Sisters. That 3 pack of misery came at a time when people's finances were a little stressed b how the sub was set up. It was expensive and the figures were/are shit. I remember even POP fans were like, "Yeah, Star Sisters! Wait, what is this shit? Paint apps are garbage and design is lazy - oh man, everyone is dumping these I will NEVER get what I paid for them back."“Anything is a dildo, if you're brave enough"

I think a lot of people not so into POP now, will be scrambling to complete their collections after the line is over.
I can totally see people paying crazy prices in a few years for POP figures that are despised today, just as collectors did the same with Star Wars and Marvel Legends in the 00's. Marvel Legends Toad is a perfect example- as well as Spider-Man Classics line. The fans hated the Toad figure, it sat on shelves for years at clearance (my old local TRU had over 40 at one point!) and as soon as people got their X-Men and Avengers in order, they wanted to "complete" the line, so they started paying crazy, crazy money for the unpopular characters, like Toad... Historically NA has not been as popular as POP, so I am a bit on the fence about the future value of that subset, but it will probably be the same thing- high prices for characters everyone skipped or sold off.
Since so many people are simply buying the MOTUC vintage remakes exclusively, and they aren't into POP, I can totally see things like the Star Sisters or Catra being very high priced figures in the future. POP has an advantage over the ML or SW figures in that there are only two POP lines to collect- you have 2 She-Ra choices, vintage or MOTUC. It's not the same as the other lines, you don't have 100+ different She-Ra figures to pick between like you do Marvel or SW.“What is freedom of expression?

I can't disagree with anything you put out there. Completist gonna Complete - sooner or later.
The main difference I can see is that some people just don't see POP as part of MOTUC. There are strong-willed factions in MOTUC who consider themselves "Vintage Purists" and simply do not see 200X or Neitlich vanity project figures as part of the line. These dudes do not even see New Adventures as being official canon in MOTUC.
Hell, there are collectors who do not even consider Fearless Photog as "real" MOTUC.
Oh, and please leave Catra out of this, she is a great figure and she is part of the Horde. -
I strangely consider most of the Filmation Horde ladies part of the Horde faction and not part of POP/She-Ra line, that's why I was after those characters...
Those Vintage Purists who discredit the 200X line (Which is basically a newer adaptation of the original MOTU) from the MOTU universe, shouldn't collect MOTUC either because it's not vintage, but just another adaptation of the original MOTU. ;-)
