Why do you collect funko sodas?

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

Yes! I’ve had to cut back recently and practice self restraint but I still buy those that I like. Of course I am more choosey since the price went up but that doesn’t mean I stopped. Saving a little here to buy creature from Gemini! I love the packaging and the size of sodas and that I can easily display them!

I collect sodas because they easy to stack and small

I would be tempted but to be honest I never see them anywhere in shops outside of the US to buy so . . . it would be difficult for me to collect them ...

That’s so true. I have just 1 bin of sodas and like 20 bins of Funko pops. ](*,)

That is the first thing that came to mind when I read the question. They are small.

LOVE the soda can artwork. That was my initial motivation for buying them. Then I found that they take up so much less room than pops. Being out of space, it was an easy switch to Soda!

I really like the difference in design. Also the more exclusivity and new. Haracters that we haven't seen yet. The can art outs them over the top for me design wise. Definitely a great collectible.

Honestly the size and design very much reminds me of Fantastik Plastik and the chases add excitement.

Same I am obsessed with trying for the chase. I don't even like some of the sodas lol but I end up getting for the hell of it. My friends know it too and use unopened small run or exclusive sodas to hold me hostage for pops lol

The blind box element of Soda's definitely add a level of excitement that you don't get with other lines :)

I collect Funko sodas because I like the design of the cans and the quality of the figures at the smaller scale. I have 30+ in my collection and definitely appreciate the continued expansion that Funko has been contributing to the line.

You can fit a lot more sodas in a bin and they are easy to take everywhere for pictures.

We collect funko soda because they’re smaller than pops and space is an issue. I like that there are many variations of sodas and the limited amount. I definitely like it when the chase molds are different but I don’t even always like the chases! My favorite soda actually doesn’t come with a chase and it is Tear away face flown from Nightmare before Christmas. I would love to see more Horror soda’s, like GhostFace!

Some sodas I like, but I mostly collect them because I'm a completionist haha I'm probably getting rid of a good number of these soon...

I only started getting interested in collecting sodas from this year's comic con. my first soda was the snorkel Freddy and since then I've bought 3 other sodas. I'd love to see BTS themed soda in the future!

Love the hunt for the chase and quite simply, they're small and easier to display in addition to the wall of pops in my collection.

I love the sodas over the boxes mainly because I don't have to worry about soda can condition, in addition, I like the size of the soda and the choice to also display the figure and the can.

I started collecting in general pops/sodas that I enjoyed as a kid growing up. Then as space became a concern I had to slowly limit it to certain fandoms that I love most. But I tend to still love seeing the new pieces that come out.

I started collecting anime sodas due to the fun design of the figures and artwork of the can. Oddly enough I prefer the commons to the chase lol

The sodas definitely help save space but I've stopped buying cases and just try my luck with 2. If I don't pull the chase I try to trade or buy it later
