Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
I don't know if I'll be able to handle keeping an unwrapped soda Even if the soda does not have a chase, I'd still want to look at the details and little flaws of the figure.
It'd also be hard for me to photograph if they're shrink wrapped Hard to resist not to open and sniff sniff the can a little bit haha

Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
It’s difficult to keep soda unopen, curiosity always gets the best of me. Soda figure are better out of the can.

I do not, if I'm collecting a soda it's going to be open and displayed.

Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
I've got this issue. I have a couple of Iron Giants I don't think I'll open. Quite a a few Con sodas that I don't think I'll ever open either.

IMO that’s the entire point. Unlike pops, the soda cans do not have a display window.

Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
The only reason I think someone would keep it sealed with the plastic wrap is they bought multiple soda cans and already got the common and chase.
Other than that, they should be release from the can. The figures look too cool to keep them sealed.

Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
Only have one unsealed and the only reason for that is it was a Funko Exclusive Count Chocula from mystery box. And really it would be on display if I had Ad Icons in my display set.

I have one of those as well and the prices I see them for online are insane. I know there's a possible Chase but it seems like not opening it makes it worth more.

Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
I think it’s kinda weird but yes I do collect sealed sodas sometimes. If it’s a good soda I get an extra one to keep sealed for later. Not sure what I’ll do with them later but it’s cool to see what has happened with the soda, like is it rare now or no one cares .

Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
I can't help but crack a soda open when I get it. The only sealed sodas I have are the Mike and Brian Fundays ones but that's because I got two sets and don't know what to do with the unopened set.

Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
I have the one Count Chocula, since I got it from a mystery box and have not needed for any photos or anything. But I have to open it, can not have a Schrödinger can where I don't know if it is a chase or not. Maybe one day when I get a soda that doesn't go with my collections and I don't need to know. Who am I kidding, I would still open it.

I’ve seen people with sealed Freddy sodas and I thought to myself that they probably thinking of flipping them in the second market later. I don’t have will power to not find out if I have a chase in my hands, but then again I don’t good luck with chases.

Re: Do you collect unopened Soda?
If I buy a full case for a guaranteed chase what I do is find the chase and if I still have 2 or 3 sealed I keep one sealed as well. I don't display it just put it away sealed for safe keeping

I always open the Sodas. I'm perfectly happy not getting the chase for certain characters. Sometimes "the hunt" will aggravate the hell out of me! I don't always need the chase version. It actually took me a long while to get to that point! Lol!
