Whatever happened to Drooper Soda (non-blacklight)?

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

Whatever happened to Drooper Soda (non-blacklight)?

Postby cliffd64 » Wed Jun 07, 2023 7:10 am

Seems like two or three years ago, Funko announced and began releasing the Banana Splits Sodas and over the next few con events they released Bingo, Fleegle, and Snorky... and then Drooper never was released.... They DID release a black light version of him in soda form, but still no regular...

As somewhat of a completist on Funko Banana Splits stuff... it seems like an error of omission. Anyone with any inside information as to why the line was never completed with Drooper?

My guess since the Wondercon release is that it will be a convention release and I fear it will be another super low count like Snagglepuss and Bingo!
I hope not but I get a bad feeling that's it lol

I have been wondering the same thing! Every so often something gets forgotten about and never gets released. Hope this doesn’t happen to Drooper.

.
I'm still holding a place in my case for Drooper.

I was kind of hoping they wouldn't make the last one in the set too hard to get with a low # release. Oh well. Guess we'll just keep waiting.

I always though that it was weird for the Blacklight version to release before the regular. I hope it wasn't forgotten or canned.

Hopefully not another victim to the unfinished lines of sodas. Would be curious why, but we may never know like others soda lines (Kiss, Ghostbusters, Cowboy Bebop, Teen Titans TNBTS, etc.).

I feel like eventually there will be a Drooper would be cool!
