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

They are what mystery minis could have been. They are so perfect. Mystery and size is perfect.

Why? Smaller and easier to store and the quality on them is fantastic. Plus, if they have a Chase variant, the thrill of ripping a can open and seeing the results.

My response to this is similar to a lot of others. I like that they’re limited and they all have a chase. I don’t have to worry about damaged boxes and they take up less room than pops…still love the pops more though lol

Yeah I like that I get to open them some of my pops I kept in box so this eliminates the box’s for and agree with taking up less room

Also, you can take them just about anywhere without the fear of damaging it. You can do the same with funko pops as well but I find sodas much more easy to travel with.

I agree, you can almost just shove a bunch in a bag and not worry about them. Plus if they do get dented it’s not a big deal to replace the cans most times.

I like that they are a little closer to what actual characters look like with a smaller head relative to POP!’s. Also dig the soda packaging.

I think one of the best things about the Sodas is still being able to hunt for that chase. We all had that experiences of walking to a Target or Hot Topic only to see a line of 30 campers trying to be the first ones in the door to get one of like 2-5 chases. With Sodas there is a lot less drama and a lot more fun involved!

Honestly, the smaller size makes them be able to fit in the limited space I have available in my collection. And I really love the soda canisters. High quality and great for storage!

Unfortunately I like the look of the can, so i display the can with figure in front of it. But still, at least no worries about the condition of the can.

I honestly was drawn in with the idea that Chases could be found with each Soda, and the lower cost. It was a great deal with all your favorite characters and the fact they were smaller was an added bonus for wall display. Plus having the actual Soda can really was a nice touch!

I honestly slowed down in investing them. It got costly and it made me learn to save more money.

But I liked them because of the following ..

Easy to take photos when traveling.
The packaging is so unique and clever.
Chase or not, the design was fresh.
When opening them it could create that pop sound lol
Collecting since 2010

..I like to take photos of anything...

I remember going to my local HT because they had a late night IG post with the new Funko releases of the Big Boy and Count Chocula Sodas. It was when they first released. Picked up one of each and got both chases.

I really enjoyed them at the time because they were small and came in great packaging. Kind of made me nostalgic about Dorbz. Nowadays I've cooled off on them.

I like the cans and the added space that sodas allow. The idea of getting a chase is cool as well. Chase pops are so hard to find.
