What's so great about Soda?

Included with each SODA can is a 4.25” vinyl figure and a collectible disc both with a 1 in 6 chase variant!

Some are very minimal, but I like that each figure has a chase associated with it


Yeah some aren’t that great but some are really really good

I enjoy seeing all the Freddy variants! Hopefully they make a Franny version.

I think that is one of the perks of sodas I will like. You have thrill and surprise of getting a chase after opening it.


It is nice. I typically get the ones where I like both molds. But some of the chase are so dang cool.


That would be cool to have both molds.

Interesting the pog and figure didn't match. Thank you, that is good to keep in mind.


I send a request to Customer service (Chase pog and Regular Figure) that they will replace the pog or s 5 credit I think


Ahh I forgot I’ve had that happen before. It was with Otto. It had two chases and I pulled the yellow variant but got the purple pog. In a way it felt like I pulled both chases haha


You kinda did pull both chase, lol. I am glad to hear customer service made sure they corrected the error. Things happen but that sound kinda cool.

After opening the soda I think one of the benefits will be the ease of displaying them and no bad box conditions. Nice


Yep, although I display everything OOB, the sodas NEVER have bad feet or skinny off center bodies that slowly lean regardless of what you do. One of my major gripes about pops. I have SO many of them with goofy feet, or skinny ankles or waists that bend, even if you warm them up and readjust still eventually lean again. Sodas don't lean. :D


Really good and valid points. I have so many that are top heavy or like what was mentioned, "goofy feet, or skinny ankles" makes them hard to display oob, not an issue with sodas.


Great points. I do enjoy a consistent/balanced collection.

I noticed you both mentioned a pog. I remember what pogs are from the 90's/2000's but what does it mean with the soda?


Definitely recommend picking up a Funko Soda if you see one and find out ;)
While they haven't made any Bleach ones yet, there are plenty of Anime ones

I love the look of the soda cans. It's just a really cool unique idea! It's nice to have a collectible for funko where you don't have to worry so much on box damage. The cans can get dented but rarely.

I pretty much echo everyone on here, it's such a great product. You take them out of the can versus leaving them in. Easy to put on a small desk in the office. Then there is always the thrill when you open it and find a chase.

I think I may only open 50% of my sodas and save the others for a random rainy day. Sounds thrilling.

They are super nice to display & have a wide range of characters to buy from :) I love how they are super colourful and when you display them all, They Look so good!! I’ve currently got about 80 on display right now and they look fantastic!! I’ve just displayed my favourite ones! So I highly recommend them and that’s why I love them so much, I hope this helps! :)

Oh YEESSSSSS. Heeheehee!! It’s such a thrill, and ANYTHING is possible until you finally open the can!! (Which is why after ~2years I still haven’t opened up my AP Soda yet XD). Maybe I’ll bring it to SDCC and open it live at the Funko Booth for fun (or at Fundays, if I’m ever fortunate enough to attend. I still haven’t made it in after >10 years of trying. I’ve missed out on BOTH Funko Fright Nights, and I tried very hard to get tickets. We even had a trip planned to NYCC—which we could NOT afford—just to attend Fright Night, but then the Cop-a-Pop collective cheated, cut to the front of the line, and grabbed up all of the tickets for themselves :angryfire:). So, unless Funko stops these cheaters, what’s the use of even trying anymore? :(

I have gotten nervous on some I really wanted the chase on and waited, those always end up commons. I think deep down I already knew they were.

That is will be my to feeling when I purchase my first soda at Comic Con this year. The suspense will be great but I'm nervous on my first choice and if it will have a chase option.

I love that you haven't opened your AP Soda yet, bravo. I will do the same if I get an AP Soda. Sorry to ask a silly question but what is a Cop-a-Pop collective? But what or whoever they are keep trying to get tickets. The day you get tickets after over 10 years will be epic and so much fun for you.

I only have a few sodas but I do agree that the anticipation of getting a chase is fun and the molding is top notch on some of them. I'll be honest and say I didn't think they would be around as long as they have been. I wish I could get some of the sought after chases but they're pricey.

I like the soda designs, but I feel as popularity has been falling off lately.
