Pop-A-Shot® Joins the Running Press Minis Line
Running Press, part of Hachette Book Group, and Pop-A-Shot®, the original arcade basketball game company, have teamed up to launch Mini Pop-A-Shot: Swish!, a new addition to the Running Press RP Minis series. This desktop-sized collectible combines a realistic miniature Pop-A-Shot arcade game with a 40-page illustrated book celebrating the brand’s history.
Founded in Kansas in 1981, Pop-A-Shot has grown from an arcade classic into a cultural phenomenon, featured everywhere from family game rooms and tailgates to ESPN’s The Ocho for the Pop-A-Shot National Championship. With Mini Pop-A-Shot: Swish! that same competitive energy is now available in a fun, portable format.
This partnership, brokered by Dimensional Branding Group (DBG), represents a perfect blend of heritage and innovation. “We’re super excited to bring the excitement of Pop-A-Shot into the RP Minis line,” said Andrew Neerdaels, Licensing Manager at Dimensional Branding Group. “We have loved working with the Running Press team and we are certain this is going to be a top seller. The Pop-A-Shot brand has always been about creating fun, competitive moments, and now that same energy can live on desktops everywhere.”
