Rumors of a Soda wind-down

[scullysdad]

Other than C2E2 Jiminy Cricket, I can't even remember the last Soda that was announced. Probably one of the Funko shop coolers, but I can't remember anything else being revealed.

[Flatt]

Yea that Batman set was really cool for sure. And Itty's are so much easier to pack and bring home =)

And fascinating enough I've found way less paint blemishes on them.

They’re probably much easier to create and produce.

They do have a surprising amount of detail in them.

The last major one that I can recall was the avatar cooler!

As much as I like them, I never thought sodas were going to be a permanent thing. However, I am surprised they lasted this long. I’m hoping if they are winding down we won’t be subjected to them in boxes of fun in the future.

I just hope SODAs don't go away. I rather see them get released once in a while, such as a con.

Yes indeed!

I second this. I don’t love sodas as much as I did in 2022 but I would hate for them to disappear completely

The 'cuteness' is a little overwhelming.

[Panda]

I do see the demand for soda has gotten less this past year

[GenericCloneTrooper]

I still love them. The chase element is more fun

[Shuttlzworth]

Keep them more limited and obscure. Hopefully they keep sodas around just in more limited fashion. My displays got overrun in a blink the past couple years with all the releases.

Yes, keep them at 5,000 or smaller runs (with chases) and they will have a market. In my opinion, adding a separate international can and then removing the limited runs took some of the allure away from the line.

100%

While I'd be a little sad to see Sodas go, it wouldn't be crushing for me. I will still have my army of Stormtroopers at 501 strong

I believe I’ve seen this pic. It’s by far the most amazing pic of sodas I’ve EVER seen.

Soda never really peaked my interest, I still find DORBZ more appealing then Soda

I liked both

They are smaller than pops but cost almost double. I feel they could’ve been managed better. At the current cost and with the over production, I rarely buy them anymore. Most of the chases I get now are from trades or eBay. It just costs too much to try for chases. And, there is no market for extra commons.

[dcooperfl]

i'm still a soda guy

I am still a Dorbz guy. It has gotten much easier to keep up with them.

I know I still love them too!! There is quite a few I still have to get!

Funny thing, I've only ever setup 175 of them at once so far. I ran out of room. I'm still searching for a bigger table to display them all.

I see your point. I only buy the fandoms I enjoy. I know going for all of them can be expensive. Which is why I try to look for preorders on bundles (chase and common).

Have you tried going outside somewhere? On a nice day of course

[CAHLEB]

I loved the sodas but they went too fast too soon. There's way too many. I'm glad we haven't seen that many recently.

That may be true but as long as they still keep the line going I will be happy.

[MarvelPopFan75]

The Soda line has some really fantastic figures that are much more detailed than some of the pops, I hope that they continue on in some capacity. I enjoy them far more than Vinyl Gold or Bitty Pops.

[Elviax]

With the last few 6 pack coolers not selling out even at a discount price do you think they stop making those? That was the last major item before the wind down it seems (avatar one)

[Nexus413]

Say it ain’t so!

[a99kitten]

That would be disappointing - I like them. Although to be honest I don't have many but that's simply a space/display issue. I only go after a few select characters.

[w00tw00t]

I hope they continue Sodas. I love the uniqueness in design and the weight of them. Just like the Dorbz i love the slight weight they have on them. The cans are nice for display and doesn’t take much room. I just love the popping noises when opening one.

The popping noise is the best part, honestly.

So some friends told me that funko may be winding down on soda's, I then checked with some people in the backend likes stores and they noticed some changes so it seems it might be true.

One of the main reasons it seems is that people cant afford a lot of soda's. Speaking from a international view they cost $30+ down here because of the shipping weight ect make them very unaffordable.

Another reason people think and i think could be a strong contender is because bitty's are outselling them. There cheaper, ezyer to display and also strike the minature market.

If this ends up being true how does it make you feel?

I wish they would keep on doing sodas I thought Funko was doing well with them just the high Le ones, no Le, and international were hurting them. Hopefully they still do the lower Le ones like they started with.

With the cost of living rise and everything i think sales were being effected state side to. I know down here it costs $30 for a basic one so its priced itself out of the easy collector markett.

[nostaljay]

Sodas are hit or miss, with POP figures they're way more in demand. I do like the sodas more depending on the character, sometimes they bring out more than a POP would

[stucho2090]

The problem they pushed out to fast and to quickly with these sodas. Taking away the limited piece count on some (like the Marvel ones) really made sodas become not as fun to collect. Seeing opened cans at Walmart just made it feel cheap.

Seeing opened ones at Walmart is sad. That is sadly chase hunters with low morals. I do think the sodas are fun though.

[Boszdrew]

Releasing non numbered really hurts a lot for a collector like me.
