I wish it wasn’t so tiny looking but I welcome the change.

It was a different thing but once I got used to it, didn't bug me. Aesthetically, it is a different look to the front of the box.

It's nice that you don't have to worry about the sticker peeling of but wish you could see that it's different from the norm glow in the dark or neon something that makes it stand out more

Caught a glimpse at a few chases in the wild recently and I have to say, I miss the stickers.

I miss the stickers but understand why they made the move. Just a bummer. :freddy3:

I like it, though I do not really like the aesthetic. But I do like that stickers do not fall off anymore

I don’t mind the change. One reason why I like it is it leaves more room for autographs on the front panel if you were to get it signed.

I miss stickers but is not a big deal I guess. Some of the stickers I’m not a fan of like the chalice sticker I’ll wait for funko shop to drop a certain pop without their store exclusive.

One thing i like is people not being able to swap the stickers on a better condition box just to resell

This is true although I think it’s only chase stickers being placed into the box so exclusive/con stickers aren’t affected

I definitely miss the old school sticker. Much easier to spot in the wild. I've actually glanced past a few chases in the wild, not noticing the new "Chase" portion of the box.

That being said, knowing that there's no chance of a sticker swap is a nice certainty to have!

I completely agree. I like meeting celebrities and getting their autographs. So having the chase sticker on the box allows me to have more window space for autos, especially if I'm trying to get more than one.

The nostalgia of the window chase sticker is immense and I do prefer the old sticker was was the best was to identify Chase pops in the wild back in the day. But I do understand the cost savings of not having to print stickers use man power to place the stickers as well!

So a friend keeps sending me pictures of chases he's found in the wild. We're trying to decide if it's that collecting is down, or that people just aren't as good at noticing the new chase stickers. Or that no one likes these particular characters? It's certainly not that he's that lucky, he's not the first person in the store daily or anything. Thoughts?

Probably both. Also they may be spending too much on tcg now to be able to buy pops especially if resale isn't that great

Yeah I agree. I kind of think that if they should just redesign the logos or logo concept altogether. Circular and simple-shaped worked when it was in the window and super obvious. They could get a little more interesting if they’re putting it along with the pop name.

I have only seen a few chase’s in person lol so I doubt I’d think it was any different from the new chase logo but stickers are always fun. Oh well

I like the chase being part of the box because it helps prevent scammers from preying on unsuspecting collectors. On the other hand, I'm not used to looking anywhere but the window for the chase designation. That said, I rarely ever found a chase in the wild so it probably doesn't make a difference either way for me.lol

It's just about adjusting to the change. Found a Cruella chase yesterday at Barnes and Noble - Catch and release lol (some box damage and my wife didn't want it).

I liked the stickers. If there weren’t any stickers at all inbox collectors would be able to see the figures a lot better. My guess is they just put the chase on the box to be able to just put the QR guarantee stickers on all boxes if they chose.

Yeah I almost feel like I’m prone to miss some if I don’t pay close attention because they tend to blend in at times

Loved the sticker, but honestly having on the box solves multiple issues including the sticker coming off. Also good for them to do something different and mix it up

I wish the sticker was a bit bigger but I do like that you can't swap them now. I haven't found any chases in the wild since the change though.

Seems like people are still not realizing they're looking at a chase. Saw a post today I forgot where that they didn't notice it for 5min

I like the practicality, but I do kinda miss the old sticker look on the box. Built-in is better for durability, I just think stickers had a little more “pop” on display.
