Do you collect unopened Soda?
I've seen a number of people show off their Soda collections online and seen that not one of their Soda cans were opened Didn't even know people did that until I was seeing it.
Do you resist the urge open a Soda to see if there's a chase and keep at least some unopened Soda as part of your collection?

If it's a Soda without a Chase (Disco Skeletor, Faker) I have them sealed still. If it's a Soda with a Chase, I'm opening that thing proto!

100% same. I even started buying two chase sodas (when I could) just so I could open one and keep one sealed but that didn't last long once the first opened soda wasn't the chase. So now I just open thee chase sodas and leave the others sealed.

We’re in box collectors at heart, but our sodas definitely get opened.

Nope - Sodas are meant to be popped every single time!

Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
I always open the soda main to check the pog and the figure, I have some Chase Pog with Regular Figure, not the opposite since then I always check it and return to the can. Also, do you never know If you get the AP, not luck yet.
I used to save them in a Pop Protector that way I didn't have to clean so much.

Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
I always open them - it’s the only way to actually see the figure. And then the lid goes back on the can for display.

Same here, I have a metallic Count Chocula I have not opened yet because it doesn’t have a chase. I will open it eventually but for space reason I put them all back in the cans anyway, so I left it.
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
Release the sodas! That would be like having sealed mystery minis. Blows my mind some I wouldn't be able to keep them sealed if I wanted to, I think.
But honestly, if you're collecting the sodas and leaving them sealed (as in they're the only ones you have of those sodas) you're missing out on seeing some awesome figures.

I love the thrill of opening a soda. But I do have a full set of BL AIW and the Cereal monsters from Funko Shop sealed in my room. I got them from a friend and just never opened them I'll probably open them up this year and actually enjoy the figures and see if the BL AIW has any chases.

Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
I open ALLLLLL my sodas!!!! But I do have two ones I keep sealed. One is an international Sloth (already have the US release chase and normal so I just keep it sealed for a neat weird thing in the collection) and then Robocop because I got sent one instead of my preordered Dracula and I like to keep it as a meme. The chase art makes me giggle

Keeping the Soda unopened, seems difficult... it's just plastic... you can still keep the figure in the can...

I always open because I have no self control and the thought of a chase gets to open every time. Only time I’ve kept a canned sealed was when there was no chase. I commend people that can keep em sealed!

I have no self-control either and would prefer to know sooner rather than later what's in the can.

Always opening the sodas. Need to know if it ain’t broken or any other failures are there. And I display those out of the can. So no sealed cans in my collection.

Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
Unless I plan on selling one or I got an extra to try to get a chase then I don’t understand keeping it sealed. Everyone collects differently so no judgment but I open all of mine.

I open all my sodas and happily display them. I do the same for most Funko pops. What’s the point of keeping it sealed? I don’t get it.
