It’s an artist proof of the chase figure. An artist proof is rare in its self but I’m not sure about how many of them are made. Having an AP of a chase is extra cool in my opinion since each figure is already far less produced than it’s common counterpart.

Could it be possible that APs are hand painted?

Re: AP Soda Can
I am sure many sodas have some hand painting involved, but AP has probably hand batch paint and such before big assembly line

They definitely look like that. The lines are a whole lot better and the colors just a little more vibrant.

From what we've seen posted from people getting them at HQ "at the table", there have been 6-12 of each taken in one photo. So I'm guessing somewhere around 24 ...

you might be on the money or close to it...at least when i looked a few simpsons art pieces i have that are AP's, they made them in runs of 30...so it might be around that ballpark of 24-36

The ones I have are not hand painted. From what I gather, they are just the first run sent to Funko. Definitely an awesome piece to have!

eBay is Risky for APs..... coz there's no way you can really tell besides the Pog and the Pog can be easily made or done

Yes! AP are the closest to having a perfect piece. The over all quality is better then any other regular or chase found.
Have a fun day!

Yes! This is true.
I’ve read some unfortunate stories where people print out and make their own pogs.

You can tell because the paint looks cleaner. We have a couple AP's and compared them the others non AP sodas and the paint lines are cleaner. So you can tell but maybe not through a picture.

I’m sure it’s been asked already but about how many ap are out there for each soda ? And r they given out at random in the sodas or are they given away exclusively by Funko?

Just like a prototype, you want to get a history on the piece from whoever you're buying it from. There isn't anywhere doing certification and honestly i would question any that do, because it seems like a money-grab for now.

yeah just compare them to the regular ones and you will see the difference. Personally I didn't think anything was different as it would just be the pog but closer looking at them the paint is better.
