Mini GT vs Pop Race!! Aston Martin Valkyrie - Comparison

[@traviswalker8933]

0:40 that was a missed opportunity. The PopRace R33 GTR looks a lot better than the licensed Inno64 despite being unlicensed and the PopRace gives you metal wheels which the Inno64 does not give you. Plus Inno64 doesn't have the correct wheel size. The pros for the Pop Race are: 1. Crisper headlight detail. 2. Accurate position for carbon fibre. 3. Brake discs and calipers despite having the same price. 4. More accurate molding for the tyres. The tyres do not look like off-road tyres like the Mini GT. 5. Crisper details for the front suspension components.

Kinda like the pop race version. I have the minigt as well. Great comparison!

[@Booster_Diecast]

@@donc8546 They're both really nice honestly!

The Pop Race seems like 10% better, but I don't think it's enough to spend more money and start collecting a different brand in addition to Mini GT. I only collect Lamborghini, but I see Pop has two of them coming out some time in the near future. Good review, thanks. What I see in Canada is the Pop races cost around $7 more than Mini GT.

[@spidersdiecast]

To me Pop Race gets the W on this. Although I do like how cleaner the Mini GT is without the lime green accents. As for licensing, I personally don't care about it. As long as the quality and attention to detail is good enough, I'm just gonna buy it. I learned that even a company with a licensed model will short you on some things, but somehow an unlicensed model will give you all the bells and whistles. I might have to make my own video on licensing one of these days.

[@Booster_Diecast]

@spidersdiecast That's good to hear your thoughts on licensing Spider. And you have some good points as well. A lot of unlicensed brands produce some truly amazing products. I'm just not sure how I feel. Well, the video is coming soon. Probably Thursday night so we can discuss more then 😅

[@spidersdiecast]

@@Booster_Diecast I definitely won't miss it brother!👏🏾

[@SiegedByCars]

The first Pop Race (with license) in your collection butfully not the last! I also have the 1:64 Pop Race Aston Martin DBX and is also official licensed product, but does not have opening parts if I am not wrong. The brand TOP (as you know without licensed and not of your interest accroding to the thumb rule :D) is making the AMR PRO version. About the comparison, for me, the lime green is more nice. The contrast with the green color is wow, especially in the side skirts, the suspension, the front and rear bumper., the wing ...now i remember the Dodge Demon with the yellow line on the front lip. A very small detail but for me it makes a difference. Also the carbon fiber wave, even being bigger than the Mini GT, looks flwaless.

[@Booster_Diecast]

@@SiegedByCars I agree, Pop Race did a fantastic job with this one!!

[@JohnBR99]

Definetly Pop-Race for me... Pop-Race has really Jumped in quality in these last few months, their CLK GTR and Pandem Civic are looking incredible, to think that honestly not that long ago they were making bloated RWB's and now its really accurate to scale models, all for a very affordable price, its great

[@Booster_Diecast]

@@JohnBR99 Pop Race has always made some pretty cool race cars like the Audi R8s but I agree. They have gotten a lot better recently

[@Diecastclassicist]

Both are nice. I have a slight preference for the Mini GT.

[@Booster_Diecast]

@@Diecastclassicist Fair enough!

[@EugenioHertz]

Pop race UNDERSTOOD what had to be done. This car is less than what it looks, so the lines in lime totally complement the parts that you believe they would be part of the car, but they arent because the real car has less lines than what you're inclined to believe. Is nothing wrong, the real car doesnt "fill the dish", like many other astons would. And to top it off we have one moving part and carbon on rear wing. Wheels are the same but they look a bit more pronounced on poprace... Standing more clear, let's put it like that. Even the package art is better. The ones going for the mini gt are only doing it because they're t totally strict on have the car with the minimum as possible, which translates to BOOORING. ALL IN ALL POP RACE NAILED IT. So far they're very aggressive towards mini gt and we thank them for that. Cars have a better presentation and overall look, but well... Glenn at least still has KAIDO house on his side.

[@Booster_Diecast]

@EugenioHertz I agree that the Pop Race was very well done. But like I said, they are both based on real versions of the car. I also enjoy the sleek look of the mini gt without the Lime accents. Plus it's adds some nice variety to the collection, since I'm sure that Mini gt won't make the one with lime accents, and pop race probably won't make one without. But I definitely disagree that the Mini GT is boring. Thanks for watching, love hearing peoples opinions!

[@EugenioHertz]

@@Booster_Diecast the only defense in mini gt favor is: do you want the car without extra features, without lime accents and everything else that makes it stand up? Buy the mini gt. There are people who just wanna buy a plain tshit one color... Others want a stylist tee with some accents, so yeah, for me it's the BORING version. If we were talking a about a 70ies 80ies classics, i wouldn't mind to have the simple version, but with such a cat like Valkyrie who doesn't look like 99% cars of the world, then i want something more. Not even boring versions of some cars, mini gt have opted for very weird and strange liveries for some models, to a point i don't see the same company i saw an year ago.

Pop race

[@Booster_Diecast]

@@dwiekoprastyo941 A solid choice

[@ereinaldy20]

for MEASUREMENT, the MINIGT More accurate than POP RACE.. look how THICK the metal of POP race.. it looks weird and the difuser are to thick

[@IdontKnow-jt2oz]

Only real fans know he made a typo in the OG title 😤🤓

[@feke5987]

I just got the poprace model today. How do you open the engine bay, I damaged the paint a bit trying to open it.

[@Booster_Diecast]

@feke5987 I'd probably get some hate for this, but I used my metal pick lol. I was very careful with it. Maybe try a plastic pick that comes on the back of a flosser?

[@feke5987]

@@Booster_Diecast Thanks for the tip. Not the most elegant way but I ended up shaking it hard to get it to open and it worked 😅

[@alexandremoreira599]

the pop race rolls well like the mini gt?

[@Booster_Diecast]

@@alexandremoreira599 yes they both roll amazing!

[@arvin3773]

On some occasions, Pop Race rolls much better than Mini GT. A lot of QC issues with my Mini GT R34

[@CosmicAlphonso]

Pop race one has metal separator between front wind shield and side windows painted in black which is not accurate at all.

[@Booster_Diecast]

@@CosmicAlphonso Those A Pillars are accurate, but maybe a little too big on the pop race

[@CosmicAlphonso]

@@Booster_Diecast I dont think there are any pillers on real car. From outside it just looks all glass with black bezels around the glass. Also there is no carbon firbre printing on the rear spoiler of actual car. This is my favourite car so I have done a lot of research.

[@Booster_Diecast]

@CosmicAlphonso There are Pillars or windows wouldn't have anything to attach to and the roof has to be supported by them. They are there, but the glass might lay over them on the real car making it appear hidden. But the pop race still looks pretty accurate to the real thing

[@CosmicAlphonso]

@@Booster_Diecast If we ignore this one thing then yeah it is very acurate. Depends on the personal preference though.

[@ShawnstertheMonster]

I think mini GT needs to get more into electric and independent super car companies

[@Booster_Diecast]

@@ShawnstertheMonster I agree. We need to see some Rimac and Koenigsegg from them, among other things

[@ammucreation2001]

I always wonder why mini gt never made Koenigsegg diecasts (I'm new in this hobby sorry) ​@@Booster_Diecast

[@Booster_Diecast]

@ammucreation2001 There's not really any particular reason other than they just haven't gotten to it yet. The Mini GT director was recently asked about koenigsegg models in an interview and he said it's something they would like to do, but that have so many projects and cars to get thru that it wouldn't happen for quite some time

[@katdareaniket]

Evs are not really cars tho... They might as well do washing machines
