Just let the answer be "whole case" so that the rest of us don't feel so bad with not getting chases. lol

This is going to sound like a stupid question, for that I apologize. Has anyone got the common El Furioso Soda? I've bought three and each one has been a chase. I'm never that lucky, so I wanted to ask if there was a known production error or something along those lines.

I skipped this one but my advice is to try a 4th time lol if you get another chase then the common was never meant to be yours

I no longer have any patience for those shenanigans. There are Soda groups run by friends and people on the forum. I'll stick to them.

I bought two Fruioso and one of the Spider-man Lucha. Got a chase of each. Went out and bought a lottery ticket to keep the luck rolling.

It didn't last.

whoa, these came out of nowhere. Robin Hood is my favorite Disney movie, and Danger Mouse is amazing. haha, but now we're back to needing more sidekicks. we can add Sir Hiss and Penfold to the ever growing list.

Everyone see the image that international releases will come out with different LE? I really hope the figures are different, if not I might be getting out of Sodas if the LE isn't real and can just be increased with another "international release."

i didn't see that, but it's incredibly disappointing. but again i've been saying for awhile the numbers were largely worthless as they keep going up and up.

Funko Europe tweeted an image of most of these new releases, but the counts are different and has a Funko international logo on the can. Appears to be the same figures. So basically the LE (and common/chase) count mean nothing now. Horrible move, in my opinion. Definitely going to make me think twice about any future purchases.

i hate to say it, but Funko hasn't been focused on "collectors" for quite awhile. Soda really seemed like the line that would reinvigorate that spirit in the company, but i guess that was only ever going to last until they either became popular or died like so many of their other new lines.

It gets tricky when you start playing with the numbers that’s for sure. But, I thought about it some and I am happy for international collectors who really couldn’t get sodas before.

So, would the LE counts be additive, so for example: Stan Lee 10k for the US and 8k international = 18k total?

And with this, would people be buying for the cans as well - since there is a "International" logo on the packaging?

Interesting to see how this pans out.

EDIT:

It's already updated on the Funko blog, and yes - it is additive.

They could have just increased the count and distributed more internationally. Heck, it's not like some Soda haven't been sitting in Australia for over a year (Woody Woodpecker and others). This is just a way to show a more limited LE and also cause confusion (now a chase has 2 different LE pogs for the same figure?).

Also, nothing to prevent them from releasing earlier waves now with international numbers, etc.

if we're being honest with ourselves, the lack of the figures themselves being numbered means they could be making endless amounts and saying they fall within the number that is on the can. who is out there counting all 12,500 Crash Bandicoots for example lol

True. I just remember an old interview with Brian where he was quoted as saying they take pride in sticking to their LE count. I can overlook re-releases, box variants, etc. but to me if it has a # on the product (convention, baseball parks, etc.) I've taken that to be the real thing.

That's what made Sodas special, they were all limited releases with stated figure (some more limited than others). Now the count is based upon can? How does that work with the stated numbers on the pogs? Those numbers are/were related to the figure, not the can.

I can imagine that the Pogs would probably be different as well for both versions since the total count for both are different as well.

Basically, there’s 2 subsets of the whole population. That is my understanding about this.

Fyi, a bunch of wave 1 are now up for pre-order on popinabox. It'll be interesting if these are international re-releases. Otherwise, not sure how some could suddenly be available for pre-order with good long they've been sold out (and more limited LE runs).

Not a rerelease. Pop in a box UK and many other international companies has had most of wave 1 in stock since release. I got lots of sodas this way. Pop in a box probably wants to move inventory.

That's what I don't understand about the "international needs their own LE" argument then. So they're not selling well internationally (PC, PIAB, etc.) and yet an extra allocation needs to be made? That also assumes that Funko is incompetent about how to do allocations, which I find unlikely with how many years they've been doing it. It's not like they don't share limited releases every con as well.

Not a rerelease. Pop in a box UK and many other international companies has had most of wave 1 in stock since release. I got lots of sodas this way. Pop in a box probably wants to move inventory.

That's what I don't understand about the "international needs their own LE" argument then. So they're not selling well internationally (PC, PIAB, etc.) and yet an extra allocation needs to be made? That also assumes that Funko is incompetent about how to do allocations, which I find unlikely with how many years they've been doing it. It's not like they don't share limited releases every con as well.

This makes sense, but then I wondered why the preorder status and all the way to September if they just have stock to move. Hmm.

Yep, that part is very suspect to me. The lead time for them is way too long to say they're moving stock between warehouse, especially with the LE on wave 1 (and not like PIAB got most of that allocation either).
