Rumors of a Soda wind-down

[Wiselordship]

With you on this. Hopefully they are just taking a look and going to turn it back to the old way. Since we still need some sodas from lines they started.

Yes please! In particular the scooby line please!

I'm with you here. I really like the Scooby Sodas.

Yea. It was said to get the Velma soda cancelled. Hoping it pops back up as a con or something.

[nascar246788]

I could see them going down. I think the high number counts took some of the hype away. I am sad if they do go away. I do like their form factor. I think in general what makes it hard with soda is they are hard to display in a stacked manner because you have to take them out of the can. So for those with space issues from other lines, sodas are harder to fit in somewhere.

[Esko5150]

I thought Sodas were one of the better lines outside of pops they've come up with. Sadly, like all the rest, people just run out of space and also high counts kind of crush most lines.

I was someone who wasn't going to collect.sodas, and yet here I am.with about 100. Lol
And I was out if space before ever getting one.

Probably or maybe they’ll just make them for cons or funko events (fundays/fright night)

I can definitely see them doing that but as long as they continue making them I'll be happy.

Same...and spacing out the releases gives some time to catch up on some of the ones we're missing (like trying to finish these darn cooler sets)

Completely agree and was so happy to see another cooler set, love these.

I really like the sodas. Yes they hard to display but they are so much fun and highly collectible. The cans are fun & the figures are so cute. I do agree they are a bit pricey, but I get why. I prefer they keep making them.

[Katers]

I will admire those from a far.

They appreciate your admiration! I wonder if next year we'd get a Luke Freddy soda? Or someone else entirely from SW?

Like jar jar.

There's no need to be mean about it! But hey, if you want Jar Jar, I'll trade him to you!

I think thats one grossly underrated thing. The can artwork for pretty much all of them are amazing. One of my favorite things about them

The hard part honestly is figuring out how to display them. I wanna show off the can, the pog, and the figure. There's some companies that make display set ups though.

I want Jar Jar ... I want Jar Jar in a Jar, I want Jar Jar at the Bar, I will admire Jar Jar from near or far, or in a car at the mar ...

We like to display them in Baseball Bat Cases from Michaels. They fit perfectly!

All I read from that is I have 2 people to trade Jar Jar away to!

Good job on the rhymes though!

[ArmyGuy2017]

I think that's not a bad idea. I feel to many Freddy Sodas in all those BOF

[SusanBurk]

I said the same and have about 350 now. Lol

I used to only buy cases and ended up selling and shipping over 700 commons at once to a seller in another state. Now I mostly just buy 1 or 2 and if I don’t get the chase, I buy it. Cases are too expensive now and no one wants the commons.

Good point! I use to do the same. Last month I bought 2 sealed soda cans from 2 different sellers on Mercari, I landed the chase.

I love it when that happens. I do miss having a bunch of cans to open. It’s like gambling. I’m the same with NFTs. I’ll buy packs for collections I’m not particularly interested in just to have the fun of opening them.

Well to be fair, I only bought the 2 because I needed the can to insert the Proto I received at Fright Night 2023. The other soda I just wanted to add to my collection. I never expected to land the chase.

[Swatrob]

I see them all over the place where I am at. I like them due to space issues so I hope they keep going with them.

[cerealkiller]

Hope they keep going with the line. Some characters translate well to the medium.

[dr-FOMO]

I thought sodas were going well for them, why the wind down. If anything I see Itty bitty pops not lasting long

Because they funkoed it up, line was a success so they took everything people liked about them (low edition sizes, more obscure character choices) and threw that away for more mass produced garbage of every character that ever was even on screen in the MCU for half a second and gave them infinity edition sizes then when 10,000,000 of black panthers mom mysteriously didn’t sell they said “welp guess fans hate the soda, time to move on”

[lavery01]

Since My husband and I collect sodas’s very selectively, It wouldn’t really make us feel a way if they are vaulted and no longer produced.

Ooh nice! What Proto?

[SusanBurk]

Agreed! Some characters look better as a sofa than a pop. Plus I can display more in a smaller space.

I hope they continue but may have ruined it with the mass quantities and character choices. It’s going drive me crazy only having some characters from lines and not others.

The peanuts gang for one! It's such a good representation in soda form. I will get that cooler pack one day! Possibly two of them for more chance at chases!

I do agree, since that move, sodas have never been the same. That and the price increase....

[justan_obody]

Has it been confirmed sodas are going away? Is there an article someone can link?

[Mr Yac]

they never announce when a line dies, but the fact we've seen like 10,000 pop reveals and not a single soda isn't a great sign.

It has been a little bit for any soda reveals.

This is a great set I still need to pick up. I’ve gotten to the point where I can buy a set and have just the commons unless the chase is significantly different and be OK with that. I’m addicted to complete sets.

[funkomarv96]

They just need to focus on best selling video games, movies, and tv shows. For example if they see a pop of an anime or movie is selling like crazy make a soda from that same anime or movie later on

Chasing the crap that is popular in the moment is what killed soda, it was doing great as a low count line that focused on niche properties. One it got into flavor of the month stuff is when they overproduced and doomed the line.

Chasing after what’s popular and keeping it at a low count is what people want.

That's a dangerous path especially how Funko goes and make multiple variations of one mold. Sometimes I think I have the one version of a character that I'd be satisfied with, and then boom! Funko comes out with either a better version of same mold or a more dynamic pose...sigh I never win

I want a Pig Pen soda

[dr-FOMO]

All of them honestly. I want to recreate the dance scene if they can the chases as their dance pose haha

[TheOverlord619]

While I'm a fan of every fan getting what they want I've personally never seen the allure of the soda series, I couldn't believe how popular it got, I thought it was going to be a dud, sure proved me wrong for a long time. I have noticed at Comic Con at least there are fewer lines for sodas and lots leftover towards the end of con.

I was the same exact way. I thought sodas were going to be the next “dorbz” boy was I so wrong.
