Re: No more LE Counts for Sodas?
Something tells me these will have decent sized editions once they make it to production and start showing up on retail shelves. Can’t believe how cool the sculpts and chase options are of this set!

I agree with you there Katers, I actually like the common more than the chase. But may I ask did the pog just say common, with no LE count? I wonder how do they indicate how many chase pieces there are
Got my second soda today from Amazon - Nakia, the exclusive! Same thing - it just says the character name on the pog, nothing underneath it. So a big circle with the artwork on one side, and on the other side just "Nakia".
And being weird again - I actually like Nakia's common more than the chase, so another 'win' for me this round!

No numbers on disc either! Looks odd but oh well! The figures all look so cool!
The figures are great this round - out of 6, there's only 2 that I'm hoping to get chases for, that's how well they did with the commons! Soda #3 arrives tomorrow, so we'll see how I do with Namor! Cross your fingers for me, he's one of the 2 that I wouldn't mind a chase for!

Right? Super impressed with Nakia, and this whole set, tbh! The details on soda have come so far from where they started. Almost enough to make me forget that the pog is missing the soda counts!

Re: No more LE Counts for Sodas?
Seen a lot of people pulling chases, i am wondering if they are really 1:6 in this Wakanda forever run. Its nice not having a US/International variants, but its a shame the numbers are gone

Yeah I agree the figures do look great! They definitely hit this one out the park and I love it. I am just a bit disappointed with the Chases not indicating an LE on the pog itself. Like its almost like searching for a highly sought after box mistake. But thats just my two cents and Funko already knows I am still buying sodas, .

I think the No numbered sodas are just for the black panther sodas.

3 out of 4 'wins' so far as of today - common Queen Ramonda, and common Namor (sigh!). Again, all without any count on the pogs.
But I will say, again - the detail on these sodas is making it worth the weirdness!

Re: No more LE Counts for Sodas?
I got the Namor soda-just a common but its amazing. I really really want the chase too but what I have found to be surprising on eBay and Mercari is that the chases for these open edition sodas are more than numbered pieces. Granted they have been available for only 2 weeks but the Namor chase is around $80-100. I'm hoping to see prices drop in the near future, just due to how many were produced but Funko did a fantastic job on these sculpts-some of my favorites so far

Re: No more LE Counts for Sodas?
I hope they continue with the low count sodas. I think this is a niche collection and if they make too much, there’s going to be a lot left over. Pops are what most collectors collect.

Congrats on joining me in the common Namor club! I agree, I think the prices will drop on the chases once they've been out for a bit. Everything is just too new so far - I have friends whose orders haven't even shipped yet, so I think there just aren't many sodas out there, chases or common, at this point.
And of course, we're left here wondering how big exactly the market is for these sodas...!

I definitely dove into collecting sodas...maybe a little too deep. Not knowing how many of this particular batch has me holding back on going nuts with the Namor and M'Baku sodas, the only ones I really care about the chases for. I'll hold off a bit before I try again since I think these will be here for awhle!

Got to be patient. I should eventually fall off! But the details on Namor is amazing to say the least.

After talking to a friend yesterday, we came to the conclusion that Funko did this backwards. Numbered first.

The reason it's backwards is because they had to get people to buy them and if they are limited more people would buy them. Personally I don't think these will sell at big box stores like target and Walmart because people will just open them and only buy the chase. Saw a couple Arwen sodas at Barnes and Noble and all were opened.

Agreed on your take of the big stores and I did see open sodas at a GameStop so your about that as well.

I agree. These are mass marketed which is cool. Just like every Pop! isn't and LE. Will be curious to see if and which retailers want to pick up this line.

Agree, that's what's gonna happen. So what will happen is that they get locked up or opened ones end up in the clearance aisle.

Re: No more LE Counts for Sodas?
Wasn't there an issue with Vampire Mickey that it showed LE 1500 or something, and everyone bought up preorders only to find it was much more generous? I imagine they're trying to avoid that with promo materials like this.

I think they’re not going to be numbered for the bigger films. Everything else is looking like a smaller count.

I hope they keep the counts on the exclusive ones, like Con and Funko shop etc, so at least we know how "exclusives" (and hard to get) they are...

I agree. The LE is what attracted me to sodas in the first place.
