Then from time to time, some classic movies from the 80s.

I miss Rock Candy as well but I don't see them as Action Figures. The way it is going, I'm afraid we will be left with Funko only making Batman and Anime pops.

That seems unlikely since Pop!s cater to a large variety of fandoms every day. Other lines, however, not so much.

I don't actually believe that, only a sentiment that I feel where the bulk of the attention goes and I really do believe is growing.

I think that other lines are definitely getting shut out no matter what Funko tries. Every time they try something new people don’t like to buy anything other than pops, mostly because the price point on other items is higher. Or if it stays at the $10-15 range people think the item is too small compared to a pop and feel slightly ripped off and don’t buy it, even if it is more stylized, comes with more accessories, etc.
Eventually Funko will stop gathering so many licenses from a business standpoint since it won’t be cost effective any more for them. Companies are now aware of how much they make off the figures and probably demand a much higher licensing fee/share of the profits than before.

People really seem to love these Soda Figures though along with Paka Paka. Wonder what's in store for them.

I agree that people seem to like them right now. But I am cautiously optimistic. They started with really popular characters and people are hyped about all their new lines. VYNL was popular at first too.

Very true. But the good thing about Soda Figures is they got both the toy AND the packaging going for them. With Vynl it was just the toy and the idea of having a duo. Cool packaging is always a plus!

Totally agree. I like the value of them of in everything being a cool collectible.

There are just so many companies making action figures these days that Funko can't carve out more than a niche market for them and the niche Funko brands just don't last too long. Of course, they may find lightning in a bottle and prove me wrong, but I'd be really surprised.

Sad to say that it's a goner. The silver lining is that Mezco has the license and they are doing figures in a similar scale and they're doing a bunch of characters that Funko left out.

Any idea when these come out?

This Summer, according to the Toy Fair info. Of course, who knows if the current madness going on in the world will delay that.

Bad news is that we might never "officially" know, they will just fizzle out and never come back. I loved the action figures, though.
