Giant POGs

As seen in Giant Bomb’s latest mailbag video, Giant POGs!

I actually had this idea about 3 years ago, back in 2014 when Jeff finally discovered what POGs were and how stupid they continue to be. I unfortunately didn’t get very far on the project, only successfully making one POG of Alex Navarro, and I ended up giving it to him at PAX South 2015.

I bought one of those POG Milkcap Maker things on eBay last year finally to finish the project. I ended up getting side tracked by making some Danganwrestling POGs to give out at my Danganwrestling panel at A-Kon 27.

I was pretty dissatisfied with how those turned out. The blade in the obviously used Milkcap Maker was pretty dull and failed to cut my designs cleanly.

Late last year, I invested in a circle cutter, which potentially could cut much cleaner, assuming I used it right. I ended up buying 75 Michael Jordan POGs on eBay for 5 bucks to use as fodder for my custom designs. lol

I bought the plastic packaging on eBay as well. For some reason some one is selling empty POG cases meant for hanging on retail shelves or whatever.

Anyway, you can see the finished product above. There are 30 unique POG designs and 6 slammers. It was a fun little project, but it took so darn long!
