Why do you collect funko sodas?

Included with each SODA can is a 4.25” vinyl figure and a collectible disc both with a 1 in 6 chase variant!

Smart idea. The space was a key factor on why I started to collect sodas 2 years ago.

Space saver if you only collect certain ones but I've seen a near complete collection and they definitely take a lot of space

Correct but not as massive as pops. Compare both and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

I definitely see the difference. Got some of my set ups for pops and every time more come out I gotta try and make room or reorganize everything

I know the feeling. I’ve must have reorganized everything at least a dozen times in the past year or so.

Just a fan of vinyl. I think both the size and uniqueness make them something that I personally like to collect. No two look identical (which allows them to fill out a display nicely).

I didn't want to but they're just so darn cute lol. Plus my wife gets mad because she says there's no more room for us to collect another Funko line. Which makes me laugh, and buy more sodas lol.

I really like the concept. Give me a retro vibe. The figures are cute and the cans add an extra layer of charm that boxes don't.

I like sodas for the chance at a chase that could even be super limited and low numbered I just want them to do more anime sodas!!!

I like the way they display on my wall. Defiantly something different with the way they are packaged.

I love the thrill of the chase! My most wanted soda lines are an all Ewoks series from Star Wars and also Food Wars (anime).
Funko Goals:
-Attend Fundays
-Win a prototype
-Collect all Ewok-related Pops!

I just opened my Proto Ranger soda and Freddy as Rainbow Batman soda from Fundays and there's nothing like cracking open a soda. It's so gratifying.

I’ll tell you one thing, the chases are way better than the pop chases for the most part. Also the fact that EVERY soda has a chase is so cool. :wizmickey:

I love the size the sodas are and not having to worry about box condition, such a stress free purchase. My luck with chases is horrible I’m resigned to it.

i just find them aesthetically appeasing and i do like that the only way to display them is outside of the can otherwise you cant see the actual figure so ill echo that it takes away the pressure about worrying about the condition of the "box" in this case can haha.. them being a little smaller too makes it easier to display more but they're big enough to where you can still get a lot of detail into those figures!

Because they take up less space and you can display more on a shelf lol. And some of them, maybe most of them have more detail compared to pops

Cool Designs, the possibility to get a Chase or even an AP (Not yet, but the odds exist)
Also, Six packs and 3 Liter, I am waiting for even a Soda ride or a Can that changes when it freezes
Funko Collectibles Count:1000+ (Need more space)
ISO Freddy Flux (4 of them)
