At this point I think all the GameStops in town have warned each other about me cause they used to look at me weird when I first asked but now no matter which one I walk into they tell me not yet 8-[

2020 is what I heard for wide rollout. And most likely won't be the electronic machines.

Good, I kinda hate the electronic ones!

it looked cool!! $\:D/$ $\:D/$ $\:D/$

Sadly I have visited every Gamestop around me in two locations (college and home) and I always get a weird look and eventually am told that they do not have it. I hope and pray I see it sometime soon, even if it's just the capsules.

Honestly, I'm more interested in the machine than the item. Curious to see the graphics and video play...and then the item last lol

I really wish they would make a list somewhere of Gamestops that have these. Hopefully they get a wider release soon! I got some at the Hollywood store and now I want more

I’m still not to sure about these. I’d love to make a toy that funko would buy LOL.

Do we know the rarity on the Paka Paka dragons?
I had six paka paka balls mailed to me from Funko Hollywood and got super lucky pulling the Gold Dragon, a hyper rare, a chase, and 2 unique commons (1 double).

I went a little overboard out of the gate on these ones! I thought I'd be all about the Soda Kats - bought 3 (got Purrpsi, Purrpsi chase, and Dragon). I decided those weren't for me, so like any Goldilocks (in a quest to find dragons)... I decided to explore Kawaii Village. That was more my jam... I bought a lot hahaha.
At one point I thought, "you know what, let's give Munchies a chance." I adore them!
I'll probably finish those two sets and if I grab a Soda Kat here and there, so be it, but I think Kuwaii Village and Munchies are equally my favs!

I called my local GameStops and 4 of them had no clue what I was talking about. The 5th one I called said they would get a machine by March. I predict I'll be visiting Hollywood more often!

1/36 for the dragons and each line has different colors.

Thanks! I figured it was that or 1/72. Glad to know now

I hope to visit the Funko Hollywood store soon so I can paka paka and see the awesome giant pops there.

Funko Hollywood is amazing! It's definitely my happy place!

Postby **Battastic** » Thu Dec 05, 2019 8:02 am

I'd like to pick up a few but have yet to see them around my area

Postby **chincoteague1** » Thu Dec 05, 2019 2:51 pm

I can't wait to go to the store in Hollywood for these.

Postby **L3g3nD33** » Thu Dec 05, 2019 4:08 pm

With the holiday rush in full effect, I've been avoiding the malls. I haven't gotten any new Soda Kats lately. Hopefully I can get some soon because my set is falling behind.

Postby **BerserkerBlack** » Sun Dec 08, 2019 10:30 pm

I visited HQ in Cali a few weeks back and got some randomly and the Soda Cats are addicting! Thought they'd be available at GS back home. I should've gotten more while there :/

I’ve been making post31 call all the GameStop’s for me in our area everyday asking for paka paka. That way when we finally show up they think he’s the crazy one and not me.

Postby **rixiuchiha** » Tue Dec 10, 2019 7:09 am

I am loving this line, specially the Soda Kats. I love that they are cute and they barely take any space on my shelf.

Lol smart thinking lol

I've been to at least 4 gamestop's around my general area and they have no idea what in the world I'm talking about lol

I have a feeling the prestige stores will be getting them and other stores will either get the cardboard tube filled with the gachapon or nothing at all.

I wish that the prestige stores would be getting them, but sadly I don't think that's the case or at least not for all of the prestige stores. My local store is prestige (although on the smaller end) and the manager hasn't heard anything about it. He even reached out to the DM and got "we know nothing about that" speech. Another store on the larger side and also prestige and somewhat local, doesn't seem to know anything about it either and is doubtful. So either Funko is going to be just surprising stores with the machine and employees (manager's) truly don't know or they actually won't be getting them in. I'm trying to stay optimistic though because I need more soda kats in my life lol

Yeah same. Funko is pumping out the ads for these all over social media and yet no store in my area has any clue what it is or if they are getting one. It’s really sad tho cuz the waiting is killing me!!

I have yet to try the machine yet. I can't wait to go to Funko Hollywood!

That dragon is really growin' on me...

Looking at the original designs makes me so excited for the future of Paka Paka. They're a success! And there's always a lot of room for progress. I hope they make larger ones like they used to.

Still hoping to find a machine somewhere just for the extra fun!! Definitely think these were a hit!

Postby **mactds** » Thu Dec 19, 2019 7:05 pm

I love the designs so much, I love the machines. Picked up a couple more at Hollywood last weekend. Keeping those munchies growing

Was this confirmed officially somewhere? I know one of the dragons is listed as 1:36 on one of the papers that come with each lines, but the other two weren’t shown with ratios at all.

Should follow the same ratios as I think that's standard for the hyper rare ones.

Heads up for UK people: The Entertainer stores will be getting the Paka Paka lines (they'll be getting the figures although not the whole machines sadly)
