Pokémon soda?

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

Pokémon soda?

Postby Niteowl_1 » Thu May 12, 2022 1:45 am

Should funko make Funko soda based off the Pokémon series, would the chases be the shinies?

I'd be all in for this. I'm sure most pokemon fans have wanted chase pokemon with the shiny as the chase. Maybe it can even give Funko the option to bring back the 1/36 chases.

But I actually like the idea of Soda's having the chase pokemon much better! I hope we see this in the future!

That would be a terrible idea. Because I'd want them all lol lol The chases should 100% be the shiny color variants. No flocked, no diamond, nothing but their proper shiny colors!

I know there are thousands of people that would love pokemon soda. But unfortunately I'm not one of them. When my daughter was younger I was always going out to get Pokemon cards. Than Burger King came out with PokeBalls for kids meals. I had Pokemon overload. When she got older she asked me if she could give the cards to one of my friends daughter because she was into them and my daughter was not anymore. Well about 3 months ago my daughter called and said did we give the Pokemon cards away. I had to remind her she gave them to Dave's daughter. She said well a lot of them are worth big bucks now. I told her if it made her feel better daves daughter played with them and the got bent up so pretty much worthless. When my daughter collected them she kept them in a binder in the pages to keep them all nm/mt. :freddy4:

Pokemon sodas would kill. I'd probably grab a few if the chases were indeed shinies. That's a great idea.

Pokemon anything would sell like hot cakes so I'd assume we'll see them if Funko can get the license. Fingers crossed!

Not sure how pokemon would look in soda form, but it would be interesting at least, as for the chases, it always seemed weird that pokemon didn't get shiny versions. I feel like this is pokemon not wanting to license anything with shiny variants for toys.

These would be a hit but I don't know if they are ready for Pokémon sodas since they are just now rolling out Star Wars. Some of the Pokémon would make great sodas when they do start to roll them out maybe SDCC? :freddy3:

If funko makes Pokémon sodas and it’s at 1/36 chance. That would be insane but getting a chase would be super satisfying

I for sure would like Pokémon sodas. I think all the characters would make great sodas. This would make a lot of people happy. So I hope it happens.

Insane indeed but yes the reward would be larger. But honestly now that I think about it, 1/6 are still decent odds. No need for them to make it harder to get a chase because that means it'd be making it more difficult for myself. lol

I think it would be so amazing if they did the Pokémon ones in poke balls and dragon ball z ones in capsules. It would be cool to see big series one have uniq packaging

I would love more Soda, but I'm curious if the license would even allow it? Since it's The Pokemon Company or w/e and not Nintendo, I bet we'll see something eventually.

I’d be down to see these with metallic chases. They could even do 1:36 glow chases to keep it interesting.

something tells me that Pokemon doesn't want to allow Funko to use shiny variants. they're very particular about how they let people use them. It does seem like a no brainer though for sure.

I was wondering the same, if the Pokemon license isn't allowing it. Would've been perfect for chase versions and if they were glitter. I understand though, given that they're so rare in gameplay. Plus some shiny variants don't look too much different from the non-shiny variant.

Yeah, if you think about if have you ever seen an officially licensed shiny pokemon toy? I don't recall one outside of the very few that were maybe toys that came with tcg cards like the ho-oh.

Exactly, people who casually know about Pokemon won't really know about the shinies. Kind of an "IYKYK" type of thing.

Pokemon sodas would be great! I think it would be so much easier to make chase ones (shinies) and the rates would still be pretty good. Also, sodas are much smaller than Pops so it would be much easier to have full series of Pokemon with the smaller scale.

I feel some might not look right or fit on a soda can. The 3liters would be awesome ones. Regular can size, the human characters would be cool like Ash of course. Still waiting for Pokémon trainers / humans to be in regular pop form.

I would love to see Pokemon in soda size. I think they could do the chases as shines or have them have accessories like Squirtle have sunglasses. Another idea is have them dress up as other Pokemon like have Pikachu be dressed as a Charizard.

Since some of the sodas have been lazy chases... probably not. lol. It would be the easiest way and would correct the fact they haven't done it with the POPs.

Yes, would be cool. Make the chases very fun, or make it a double chase and have shiny and accessory. And of course the large Pokémon like Charizard 3 liters.

Yes the double chases would be cool and fun. A little killer on the wallet but I know I would get them. That’s a good idea about the bigger Pokémon being the 3 liters.
