I skipped the two Star Wars ones but I may be back for Thor. I just dropped so much with SDCC and the Jay and Silent Bob NFTs though that another $50 right now might not be a good idea.
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

Most wanted non-Taylor Pops: Carson Teva, Naru from Prey, The Last of Us TV show

It does look that way, It is a lazy chase. I thought it was a chase trend for SW die-cast, but I guess everything will be like this.

Given Ironman and Captain America didn't have a chase, they should have left Thor the same without a chase...

I think my wallet just ran away from me after reading that list of events lol Yeah, it's going to be a hefty lift for sure and upcoming cons are creeping in closer and closer haha. I'm totally fine with the common, unless you can convince me to get both! lol I'm totally kidding!

Shouldn't be too difficult to convince you to get both lol #WhyNotBoth


Alrighty, you convinced me lol ...but not my wallet! haha it's still crying after SDCC haha lol

Honestly, if the Chase was a bit scuffed up or even with some patina accent colors, I'd totally get the chase. I'll probably just stick to the common :-#

Right now with the size and how heavy they are I don't like the, until a character I like pops out and then I will like them lol
Life is full of questions isn't it? Though, naturally I prefer to think of them as Riddles.

I really like the die cast! A different feel and makes it seem more of a unique collectors item.
If Funko makes main characters or main ad icons. Would love to see big boy as die cast.

I've said this before but wanted to reiterate in this thread that I really like die-cast in concept, but the chase concepts are severely lacking for me. I feel that they should either change up the chase (maybe make it gold-plated die or something). Or maybe even, dare I suggest, limit the total number of die-cast and their chases.

Frankly i love them. its like a mix of mini statue with its plus points (weight, solidness and details) but yet small enough to be displayed with normal size pops.

only problem is $$ as my wallet is crying whenever i buy 2 of them from Funko shop. lol lol

Die-cast pops are pretty cool although I am not a fan of the chases. I wish the chases could vary a bit maybe with the paint job. I am not a huge fan of the unpainted look.
