Paka Paka Gachapon by Funko

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

Absolutely amazing. I really want the phinneas and scratch pop moment and I can’t wait to give the card game a try but the coolest part is we get a new paka paka dragon. Can’t wait for these to drop.


I am so ridiculously excited for the new wave of Boo Hollow - gonna make a great addition to the collection!


So are the larger vinyl figures for the pop line? If so, then I must have :-k

I’m so looking forward to Wave 2. I’m holding on the larger figures ATM though. I’d like to see how big they are first.


Am thinking it could be close to the Pokemon Vinyl Sets (like the A Day in Pikachu line) - it could be bigger also.

Am loving the rides the most there!

Oh I see he did say paka paka moments so those might be little but he also said there was 4 inch full vinyl figures that’s probably where I accidentally jumped the gun on the pop line part.
My bad :(

I think you'd have to block out collecting, and that's just not sustainable. You can try to get out, but they'll just pull you back in! lol

So your saying there is a chance of them being pops. Either way I’m getting them but would prefer if they where bigger as apposed to paka paka size

I’m thinking they will be Pop size. But of course, we’ll have to wait and see, which I can’t wait :bounce:

Definitely going to have dupes for Boo Hollow 2, but that one I don't mind. I can give them out to my trick or treaters! :cheers:


That’s a great idea. Before you do though, we might be able to trade doubles hopefully :bounce:


I've got a full case on order with my LCB guy, so will absolutely have doubles for trade. Hopefully can help you and some other people around here out with them!

That's what I was thinking, too. Just as well that my planning for a trip to Washington got pushed. Hopefully by next year the machines will be back out, and everything will be as normal as it ever gets around us! \:D/


Sorry to hear about your trip. I’m also really wanting to visit HQ, but it just doesn’t seem possible this year. Hopefully, next year [-o<


Appreciate that, but I'm not stressing it. We were going to go as part of a trip to ECCC, but then LACC got moved to the same weekend, and we've already got roll-over tickets for it. The only thing that IS too bad is it would've been fun to look for those paka paka machines in December! Alas...next year will be mine! :cheers:

I bought a case before from GameStop and still got super common dupes. It was for Boo Hollow and still came short on the dragona de one of the hyper rares. They did ship it in a sealed bag though, not a box :-k

So true! Speaking of - I bought a couple random paka balls at GS today, just because, trying for dragons and fun ones I don't have. Ended up with the Kawaii Village Gold Bear! Score! No dragons, but the pakas were fun, and the GS was quiet, so that's really all I needed out of the outing! :cheers:

You didn't get a sealed case; you got partials from two different cases. A case you should get either the dragon or hyper rare for sure.

Squeezing them is so easy and also satisfying. I used to twist the also; but once I discovered the squeeze, I never looked back lol

I noticed my GS had some Munchies on sale last time I stopped by. Maybe I’ll try my luck with them. I definitely need at least 4 Paka Paka from that line still. I just had terrible luck with it. We’ll see if they are still there next time I stop by :-k

I did get a hyper rare but just one. The bag was sealed though. Usually, the bag is torn open when I order less than a case would hold. But this time I order what would equate a case and got a sealed clear bag with the orbs inside. I wonder if their warehouse gets cases in bags and not boxes to save space and packaging materials. :-k

Well, was it 18 or 36? 18 only gets the buyer a half case, and depending on which case you got, you either get one hyper rare, or the other hyper rare and the dragon together. For the boo hollow sets, I've been placing an order for the full 36 to make sure I don't have the frustration of missing out on someone I really want!

Good luck! Between their sales and the $5 monthly reward, I've been buying quite a few paka paka from them lately! They're fun, and they make me smile!

So true! Speaking of - I bought a couple random paka balls at GS today, just because, trying for dragons and fun ones I don't have. Ended up with the Kawaii Village Gold Bear! Score! No dragons, but the pakas were fun, and the GS was quiet, so that's really all I needed out of the outing! :cheers:


I noticed my GS had some Munchies on sale last time I stopped by. Maybe I’ll try my luck with them. I definitely need at least 4 Paka Paka from that line still. I just had terrible luck with it. We’ll see if they are still there next time I stop by :-k


Good luck! Between their sales and the $5 monthly reward, I've been buying quite a few paka paka from them lately! They're fun, and they make me smile!


I completely forgot about their $5 rewards. I finally used one the other day. Pulls kinda sucked but it was still fun.

You didn't get a sealed case; you got partials from two different cases. A case you should get either the dragon or hyper rare for sure.


Well, was it 18 or 36? 18 only gets the buyer a half case, and depending on which case you got, you either get one hyper rare, or the other hyper rare and the dragon together. For the boo hollow sets, I've been placing an order for the full 36 to make sure I don't have the frustration of missing out on someone I really want!


Oh! In had no idea a full case was 36. I ordered 18 that time.


18 is a full retail case, but there are A and B cases (although I'm not sure they are as clearly labeled as such as the mystery minis are, where it can go farther down the alphabet). You need one of each case type to make a full set. If you order from a good retailer (I have had luck with Toywiz and Popcultcha), and order more than one, they will send you one of each. Worse retailers would send you two A cases, and the worst would send you a random mix of blind boxes/balls that adds up to 36. Because Gamestop has the machines, they may very well be getting the equivalent of a case in a plastic bag they can easily dump into it, the only way to tell is to look over what pieces you pulled.

Ah..! Yeah, 36 is kinda pricey, but sometimes it's worth it just to be done! The ratios can be very unkind with these sets, so I just hope that the 1/9 pakas are something I want multiples of! Or that I can give away to friends or trade for other pakas!

Pulls are always fun, even when they're dupes or something unexpected! I never thought I'd even try for anything from the Kawaii village line, but I love the bears I pulled. Might have to try again with this months reward, but at a different store, since I think I already got all the good stuff!

And that's why I bought a legit case and bought the missing ones in the set, done.

@rat Doubt Funko would change their drop ships to accommodate one retailer. When they restock at Funkowood it's from a box. So GameStop probably repacked the boxes to save on space and doesn't mean you got a legitimate case in a bag. I stand by the partials statement I made, but you got lucky that you got a chase in your mix this time.

36 is a master case, 18 is the standard case.

Wow! This is so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing. I had no idea about the difference. :bounce:
