Its the things and characters from various media in a cute miniature stylisation. It's a talking piece for something you've experienced(usually) and unashamedly will talk about. Akin to a patch on a jacket.

They're also a low effort gift for the regular geeknormie. Personally don't like any nerd merchandise, I see these shops popping up a lot though

Are the Keychains better and cheaper than the Pops?

How anyone can find those abominations cute is beyond me.

this honestly
I've received one from my normie friend before, they're just cheap gifts that you can get a friend who likes geeknormie things.
I have no idea, they look hideous. I guess they display them prominently so that everyone can see how "geeky" they are.

Hell no my friend, full pops all the way

Yea I don't like em personally, that's just the general opinion. Their basically all the same like the reddit mascot on different sections.

same thing different scale, pops are more for desks
People want nerd merchandise but the industry isn't capable. It's like how japanese make better cars they make merchandise better, so people in america have to buy a 30 dollar hunk of plastic.
normies are attracted to anything that can cause them to talk or feel superior
it's a cheap novelty item that's uniform in size
