Rumors of a Soda wind-down

[mattytreks]

Just my opinion, but I think Soda has had a more successful run than Dorbz. I definitely think Soda has staying power and hope they stick with it.

I agree with you. I also like the Sodas and they are a nice supplement to the standard Funko Pops. I prefer the Sodas to the larger Deluxe or bigger Pops.

Totally agree with you, there's still so much potential left, especially chasing for the "chases." I hope it doesn't go away.

The newest craze seems to be YouTooz. Im sticking with Funko, my wallet hurts enough already with this hobby! LOL

You’re not wrong, there’s a lot more allure with sodas

There's no need to be mean about it! But hey, if you want Jar Jar, I'll trade him to you!

I want Jar Jar ... I want Jar Jar in a Jar, I want Jar Jar at the Bar, I will admire Jar Jar from near or far, or in a car at the mar ...

All I read from that is I have 2 people to trade Jar Jar away to!

Good job on the rhymes though!

I'll take all the jar jars I can get!

So far I can be marked safe from all the Jar Jar Funko products, soda or otherwise. And it's great to know that there's somewhere I can pass them to if need be, to keep my collection Jar Jar free!

I think I like youtooz more than sodas. Was never really a fan of sodas to begin with.

Well I'm not sure about everyone's experience the amount of sodas ive seen in major retailers have gone done and even if i do see them they're open. The lost cost must not be appealing to retailers. My thoughts is that they might be faced out in retail stores but events like cons they will still be there.

[FunkoSimpson92]

Not too surprised to hear. The no count pieces I thought was a first sign of trouble.
I am a fan of the coolers though and Freddy limited edition ones. Would love some Franny ones to go with before they stop sodas!

I have stopped almost all soda collecting and moved on from almost all of my not Freddy’s recently so makes sense to me.

[movieman1981]

I really like sodas from the lines I collect but I hope they still produce them maybe not as many. One of my favorite lines other than regular pops

[NitroNiki]

If they keep Sodas as a special item at Cons/Events as a keepsake, that’d be cool. Though I have seen a decline as well, I just don’t think the interest is there like it used to.

[McMikins]

I hope they don’t remove sodas completely. I like the soda line and if they just went back to a piece count that would help it a lot more. The no piece count really was what hurt the line overall.

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 feel like I’ve seen far less than a few years ago. There’s just so much and some of us collectors are running out of space LOL

[Tonka858]

Shipping containers is not that expensive we do it all the time. No way that would make the retail be double

I know the feeling. I started to get rid of pops so I can make room for sodas but over all the sodas are easy to store.

I think once they removed the le from sodas alot of interest went away. Plus collectibles are just down as a whole right now I think with the economy so Id wager the line wasn't doing well for them as a whole. Which is a shame because its really the only other line I collect from pops and a couple wobblers.

Definitely agree with the interest of sodas going away after the LE was removed. I found myself not wanting to buy them anymore and started focusing more on pops.

Yeah. I was in love with collecting all the Marvel soda's trying to get the chase but if not happy to get a common to have the entire MCU assembled on my TV stand.

Not only that, but I happen to really enjoy the Soda packaging, as well! Incredbly clever!

Agreed, great marketing idea and there’s so many more that can be done
