Now a days it will be 1 in every 6 pops of that specific character Funko will do something different and they will put a chase sticker on it. Chase pops are harder to find because it is only 1 in every 6. It used to be muchuch harder to find one because the odds where much higher.

Flocked is basically the pop is cover in like a fabric type feeling.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, so Chase is just another word for Variant? I was just curious on the origin of the word Chase. Are people supposed to "chase" after this exclusive, maybe? Or is Chase the guy's name that comes up with the variant designs?

Thanks for your insight!

It's going to be crazy trying to get these. With a possibility of a chase for at least three of the commons, its gonna take a lot of trading and luck to get what I want. All I want is the GITD chase. Darkwing Duck pops are so cool.

Good lineup on these boxes. Have passed the last couple of years but these have intrigued me enough to be on the fence.

I’m happy with any of those except the gargoyle character. I know people loved that cartoon but I never really got into it.

wait long enough and they might go on sale just like the other mystery boxes. Just too many things coming out all at once. Hurting my wallet so bad.

Your first guess was right. The term comes from people having to “chase” all over town trying to track one down.

The first time I saw the phrase was with old Marvel Legends figures in the mid-2000s, but I think it started even before that.

I feel the exact same...just want the pez and at $25 a box I might grab one or two and hopefully can manage a trade for the remaining pez.

I'm quite disappointed with the box this year. Wish they didn't focus on Disney so much.

The pez on the other hand looks great. I'm probably going to buy them once people are trying to get rid of their extras lol

I loved Darkwing Duck as a kid, so I got Negatron and Gizmoduck so I'm glad that the Megavolt Chase is just GITD. It would be cool to have but since it's just one of the cheap changes to make a variant, I wouldn't care either way... but I am not buying mystery boxes hoping I get the one I want.

Also, can you please slow your roll on the mystery boxes, Funko? Seriously... People want just the Pop for the most part, stop trying to force your unwanted products on us lol I'd gladly pay $15ish for the one thing I want instead of $30ish for more stuff that I would gladly throw away.

Five pops are available including on chase

Megavolt from Darkwing Duck
Monterey Jack from Chip and Dales Rescue Rangers
Wildcat from TailSpin
Angela from Gargoyles (she's the chase) and
Max Goof from Goof Troop


Thank goodness I don't collect any of these. Last year was a blood bath! Although I did 2 weeks worth of colorful batman socks! I love those socks. Haha.

I would like the Max Goof pop, but I don't have money to blow by buying 5-10 boxes trying to get it. Maybe I'll buy him from miscellaneous sellers if the price tag isn't 10x what it's worth.

I doubt these guys will go for anything more than retail when all is said and done. the chases might be a little pricey, but I think even they won't be too hard to get in a month or 2.

Man, so there are 5 pops? Each one with a chase!? Any one have any idea the ratio of common to chase?

I want all 10 of them, badly. This sucks haha

Zipper will probably be his own pop in the line. He could also be on the shoulder of a Gadget pop

Zipper on his own would just be silly.and sure he could be with somebody else, but seems like a missed opportunity for him to not be with Monty. though I am relieved he isn't the chase as that'd be a real pain to find.

I'm only looking to get 1 chase and 2 commons. Only, I know, right? Kind of hoping there's just so many floating out there that secondary prices are reasonable. I'll pick up two boxes, I guess. Kind of insane that there are 10 different Pop! variants. Going to try to stay with what Disney Afternoon cartoons I have, and complete their set, and not worry about new ones. Unless Gummi Bears come out, then all Gummi Bears will be needed.

It would make more sense for the common to have Zipper and the “Cheese Attack” Monty to have the cheese.

you are 100% correct, my mind was just thinking since the cheese was already revealed the chase could've been something else :)

I’m hoping that the GameStop Black Friday Pops are these 90s Pops because then I can hard pass and don’t worry about any Dragonball and or Anime Pops to hunt down. Thank You that’s one less place to shop for Pops. But I’ll need some games but that separate lol

They are! Their ad has been leaked on Black Friday websites and the ad has a picture of the 90s cartoon pops in it.
