Take advantage of momentum, biggest driver in success in my opinion.


I think thats what they were trying to do, but momentum can quickly disappear in today's market. and also the time it takes for them to produce new product can take awhile while the momentum can change sadly :eek:

Kind of a Catch-22 with the Retro Rewind line. Gotta start with the most popular characters to get the ball rolling and drum up interest, but people didn't find them interesting because it only featured popular characters. Personally, I think they looked too much like sodas and thats why they didn't really take off.

Gotcha! I haven't purchased a lot in awhile, and the Retro Rewind was not how I wanted to get back into it.


Def understandable. Didn't have quite the appeal to draw collectors in.

Yup, they gotta keep churning out funko-line variants until one of them becomes another hit success

I still continue to pick up here and there. For the few I have, I really like them. It's an acquired taste, I'll give everyone that but for me, I certainly enjoy them.

I just don't think many people sell them. It seems that they get what they want and that's the end of it. To take your point a step further, I don't even see many at shows.

Yeah, makes it even more of a FOMO event when these go originally on sale.

My boys really like them. So if I come across some for a good price, than I will pick up a few.

i feel like the pops are really the only product that has stood the test of time, everything else had a really limited run and declined interest pretty quickly

I think rewind and popsies suffered from having too many release at once. Maybe their market research said otherwise, but I don't think there was quite the demand for these new products they expected. Sodas at least started slow, and had a longer life.
