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!

Chance at the chase. Mystery. And just a cool concept!

try not to collect too much as I was given Soda pops from Fundays. I'll most likely be selective on what I pick.

My funko heart is still with pops. So really try to limit the sodas. I have the 4 turtles, a couple of the LOTR and Kirito from SAO. No real display honestly right now they are all in their package. Will have to figure something out.


Pops will always have a special place because that is how I got started, but I am starting to dwindle down my other items to make room for the sodas. They are just too good.

I really like tp collect sodas because of the size. I am at the point were I have run of room for regular pops and they dont take up to much space and they are also really cute.

That's also why I keep so many pops in box, I just like how they designed the box also.

If you need to move an item across the room, tip the sodas over on the floor and you can roll that item to the other side of the room. lol

I love the style of the sodas, I personally like them just as much as pops and at least we have seen some new things we havent seen with pops. I am getting tired of the blacklight repaints i can do without those

This so true. I think Sodas are the best products for them to come out since Pops. I think displaying them doesn't take up much space is a huge factor.

I like the idea of being able to get a chase but not knowing. I also enjoy the size and having the can and the figure to display. With pops you see a chase right away and they are tough to find. A soda no one knows so you may get one randomly.

These are like a better version of the mystery minis from back in the day. The mystery of a chase is there, but the container and size are so much better I think.

100% agree. I also love the packaging. Plus the fact that some of the chases are completely different molds is so cool.

Soda chases are done so well. I agree with that one for sure. Whoever came up with the soda idea deserves an extra big bonus for sure.

It was so tough to get a pop chase in the wild. Between funko hunters and stores keeping them for themselves. This just levels the playing field. I never try and go after for a chase, I buy figures I like and if I get a chase great.

I originally didn't want to collet the soda line. However after a bit they had some good characters that I liked and once I got my hands on them I loved them! I do like how the chase and common are different in generally a drastic way. As well they remind me of the mystery minis that Funko use to do, however you don't get characters randomly that you many not enjoy. Overall I think its a fun line to collect now.

It’s sadly (and quickly) getting to why DID I collect them, the lower price point (which is gone) and the limited runs (also gone) were 2 of the big reasons as well as the fact the character selection leaned more obscure ( also a fading aspect), so yeah they’re killing just about everything that I loved about this line pretty quickly.

I was interested in the large sodas when they were announced, so far I've only purchased one mostly due to the price point they have.

Yeah I try not to go after chase. Sodas thought I often go for two cans to hopefully get two can magic. If I get 2 commons, I just bring the second one to my work.
