Being a GPK collector who really doesn't like CT or MK at all, wonder why The Company decided to not continue producing MK? Low sales/high production costs/small profit? No good feedback? Or just want to focus on producing more crappy and rushed GPK releases?

YES. They must continue for at least one more series... ...Because I NEED a Catty Kathy/Kitty Litter Minikin.

Yes, they should!
I agree with the points made above, but IMO all of that is because of poor decisions from Topps and not poor product (despite being so tiny, they did not disappoint me after hoping for new GPK mono minis for years). Maybe the painted ones leave something to be desired but the monos are great.
Also, while the 2-packs may have sat around, the 4-packs seemed to fly off the shelves in my area. Not sure if it was the packaging, being in a different area of the store (toy aisle end cap), or both.
I don't know how they expected anyone who wasn't already familiar with the product to buy the 2 packs with very little idea of what the figures looked like based on the packaging combined with that price point and that location in the store.
This line hasn't yet been given its fair shot. The figures should be packaged and priced similarly to Trash Pack.

I think they should keep on going with the minikins series line because if they stop now the future generation will never know what cheap toys or gpk minikins are so I hope that the still keep on making minikins

Topps has an official GPK Instagram account now and have posted a couple Minikins-related photos and even commented on my pic of my Clark Shark chain. I've made sure to leave a few comments saying I love collecting them and really hope to see more Minikins beyond Series 2. I figure every little bit of positive feedback can only help the chances of seeing more of these, even if it's a long shot.

Tons of good OS1-3 characters I would love to see as minikins.

Yes, but the price point was too high.
I bought 10 packs ($30) and am still well short of a base set.

I was never a fan of cheap toys, up until I got some of the new minikins for my little boy. He can't get enough and neither can I, so yes give me more!

Only if they're cheaper, and not blind bagged. They should sell them like MUSCLE was packaged with different figure amounts - 4, 10, etc.

Garbage can packaging would be perfect because you would get storage too if that's how you want keep them. I would gladly pay like $10 for a garbage can of say 10 random figures, and one mystery figure. Similar to how they packaged the wacky package erasers. You saw what you were getting, but you still had the excitement of the mystery eraser. I don't understand why Topps goes half-assed with GPK all the time. It seems like they put much more effort into their other properties. I hope the Funko figures are a huge success so Topps can finally see the potential of GPK merch if done correctly. |
