2020 is what I heard for wide rollout. And most likely won't be the electronic machines.

Re: Paka Paka Gachapon by Funko
Sadly I have visited every Gamestop around me in two locations (college and home) and I always get a weird look and eventually am told that they do not have it. I hope and pray I see it sometime soon, even if it's just the capsules.

Honestly, I'm more interested in the machine than the item. Curious to see the graphics and video play...and then the item last

Re: Paka Paka Gachapon by Funko
I really wish they would make a list somewhere of Gamestops that have these. Hopefully they get a wider release soon! I got some at the Hollywood store and now I want more

Re: Paka Paka Gachapon by Funko
Do we know the rarity on the Paka Paka dragons?
I had six paka paka balls mailed to me from Funko Hollywood and got super lucky pulling the Gold Dragon, a hyper rare, a chase, and 2 unique commons (1 double).

Re: Paka Paka Gachapon by Funko
I went a little overboard out of the gate on these ones! I thought I'd be all about the Soda Kats - bought 3 (got Purrpsi, Purrpsi chase, and Dragon). I decided those weren't for me, so like any Goldilocks (in a quest to find dragons)... I decided to explore Kawaii Village. That was more my jam... I bought a lot hahaha.
At one point I thought, "you know what, let's give Munchies a chance." I adore them!
I'll probably finish those two sets and if I grab a Soda Kat here and there, so be it, but I think Kuwaii Village and Munchies are equally my favs!

I called my local GameStops and 4 of them had no clue what I was talking about. The 5th one I called said they would get a machine by March. I predict I'll be visiting Hollywood more often!

Thanks! I figured it was that or 1/72. Glad to know now

Re: Paka Paka Gachapon by Funko
With the holiday rush in full effect, I've been avoiding the malls. I haven't gotten any new Soda Kats lately. Hopefully I can get some soon because my set is falling behind.

I visited HQ in Cali a few weeks back and got some randomly and the Soda Cats are addicting! Thought they'd be available at GS back home. I should've gotten more while there :/

Re: Paka Paka Gachapon by Funko
I’ve been making post31 call all the GameStop’s for me in our area everyday asking for paka paka. That way when we finally show up they think he’s the crazy one and not me.

I am loving this line, specially the Soda Kats. I love that they are cute and they barely take any space on my shelf.

I have a feeling the prestige stores will be getting them and other stores will either get the cardboard tube filled with the gachapon or nothing at all.

I wish that the prestige stores would be getting them, but sadly I don't think that's the case or at least not for all of the prestige stores. My local store is prestige (although on the smaller end) and the manager hasn't heard anything about it. He even reached out to the DM and got "we know nothing about that" speech. Another store on the larger side and also prestige and somewhat local, doesn't seem to know anything about it either and is doubtful. So either Funko is going to be just surprising stores with the machine and employees (manager's) truly don't know or they actually won't be getting them in. I'm trying to stay optimistic though because I need more soda kats in my life

Yeah same. Funko is pumping out the ads for these all over social media and yet no store in my area has any clue what it is or if they are getting one. It’s really sad tho cuz the waiting is killing me!!

Looking at the original designs makes me so excited for the future of Paka Paka. They're a success! And there's always a lot of room for progress. I hope they make larger ones like they used to.

Was this confirmed officially somewhere? I know one of the dragons is listed as 1:36 on one of the papers that come with each lines, but the other two weren’t shown with ratios at all.

Should follow the same ratios as I think that's standard for the hyper rare ones.
