Willy wonka 3 liters can make sense if they were to make the kids as funko soda’s. Then the 3 liters can be displayed with the kids and make it look a little more realistic as a height difference ( Willy being an adult compared to the kids). It would also make a whole new set or even cooler. The commons can be the regular kids as they look before entering the factory and the chase can be done to make them look like they are after their “accident “ in the factory!

Agree, 10000 is more than enough for a soda limit. I think Funko should make more low piece sodas, like 3000 piece sodas. Every soda should have chases. I would love it if Funko made flocked Ewok sodas with 2 or maybe 3 chases and the chases would be different Ewoks.🤩 Thanks for lots of good soda information. 👍🏼😃

Ewok sodas are a NEED! Funko has to make that happen in the next 2 years. I would buy a whole army of them 🥳

A lot of great points. Last year didn't help that 35% of the sodas released were the unnumbered sodas. Hopefully funko figures out what they are doing next, this year I wouldn't mind only have con and exclusive sodas. That would really spread them out through out the year and make it much easier to hunt for the older sodas. I think a soda I would like to see would be a Han Solo with the chase being Han Solo in stormtrooper outfit and do it as an con soda with Luke also have the stormtrooper outfit as a chase.

I worry about this. I don't really mind about the limited aspect, I enjoy the full sets that are released, but the retail exclusives just aren't arriving anymore... ie. Walmart Exclusives... which make them feel rare. The Walmart Rocksteady went online only on the funko store and then sold out whereas there are numbered cans still available to this day with piece counts of 20k+ Also: how would you feel about me making a response video specifically to yours? If you don't want me to, I can just be vague, but I feel enthusiastic about mentioning you and referencing this video.

Yes absolutely, please feel free to make a response video to this. I always look forward to hearing other content creators opinions on relevant topics such as this.

Totally agree on a lot of stuff. The only problem that I have on limiting the piece count of sodas to a very low number is it will be hard to find them here in Canada. I also don’t agree on having international sodas so they should have a count where everyone in the world should be able to enjoy them and have access to them.

@Slapshotpops

5 ай бұрын

There should definitely be only one count total per soda. Funko needs to figure out a way to ship to Canada so when they drop something on the website, more collectors have a shot at getting it

I would love to them finish up some lines like Kiss. As much as I’m not a fan of the 3L sodas need a krang 3L and the chase could black light, glow, or even metallic. Also metal head regular soda with a metallic chase. Those would be ones I got to have! On some sodas I could see piece count up to 12,000 but not many.

First off, loved this video! I love that Maui 3 liter I will definitely add the common to collection whenever it comes out. I totally agree with the 10,000 count sodas and I want them to make more Care Bears, maybe a hello kitty (one that hasn’t been made into pop form) and a Sanrio cooler because there’s quiet a few characters they could choose from. I would like to see an Anakin soda. Maybe him when he’s good and then him with his hood up and eyes glowing as the chase when he’s turning to the dark side.

My number one complaint is that the sodas crush the pop boxes in the special event boxes, like the Fright Night boxes. With as much as they charge for those boxes, they should learn how to protect the items in it a bit better. Yeah, taking away the piece counts will hurt them, especially with price increases. I'd love to see them give Satan from South Park a 3 Litre soda.

Fantastic 4 Cooler, Human Torch with Glow Chase, Invisible Woman with Translucent Chase, The Thing and his Chase is his human form, Mr. Fantastic with the Chase is him in lab attire or with some tech/weapon, Silver Surfer with a Metallic Chase, and maaaaybe an Alicia Masters soda or Herbie.

I am a little bummed out by the Soda situation. I also think they are not going away though. I like that unnumbered seems to be ending and I like that international ones seem to be ending too. That always sore of messed up the count to me. If someone asked or saw a can and you would explain that there is actually more chases. I do like keeping some money in wallet and focusing on some others we missed. We just picked up the Freddy Vader Soda. Hope to get the flocked Snagglepuss this year too.

We will see if they give up the production of Sodas. I suspected this some months back when they introduced the rewinds. Because the format is too similar to Sodas. They probably wanted to make a cheaper product to replace Sodas. For me I never felt Sodas were that big, but then again I’m in Europe. Back then when I brought this up I was told that this was very unlikely since in the US Sodas are popular. Time will tell!

Love the sodas video . I think you are spot on about soda. funko need to make low piece count . A soda funko should make is Kraots the common should be him with sword and the chase should be him with both swords on fire and glow in the dark.

Ill be honest, Funko Soda really fell off for me when they started the non numbered piece count. I refuse to buy any soda that doesnt have a piece count regardless if its a character I like.

You contradicted yourself. You said that the 3 liter Sodas should only be of characters that make sense, and I agree, but you're also anxiously waiting for the 3 liter Soda Freddy. The Sodas have quickly become my favorite Funko product. I'm buying about 20 Sodas for every 1 Pop and I might not have bought any Pops last year if it weren't for the new Power Rangers 30th Anniversary series. I agree with everything you said. Every Soda should have a Chase and if Funko doesn't make a Chase, the common should be very limited and look amazing, not the painted Freddy that came in the Box of Fun and Box of Fright. My only other suggestion is for Funko to do the Coolers differently. It makes it nearly impossible to get all 6 Chase options. I think the Coolers should be a base set of 6 commons with the incentive of getting the limited edition Lounge Fly bag and one of the Sodas exclusive to that set. Then Funko should sell the same 5 Sodas individually with a possible Chase.

Very true! I did contradict myself, but that’s only because I’m a massive Freddy Funko fan. Glad to hear that you’re enjoying collecting the sodas so much.

@@Slapshotpops I was just joking about the Freddy 3 Liter Soda. I would want one too even though I haven't gotten into the 3 Liters yet. I didn't explain my cooler suggestion in full detail. Offer the coolers where all 6 Sodas are commons but one of the Sodas is exclusive to the cooler. The limited edition Loungefly bag with the $100 price point should still be enough incentive for collectors to be interested. I mean, even 6 Sodas alone for $100 is just over $16 a Soda - throw in the bag with free shipping and that's a great deal. But the bag and exclusive Soda would be limited to maybe 8000 pieces, but the other 5 base Sodas would maybe be 12,000 pieces to include singles you can buy separately. Or, make it where the same Soda in the cooler has the possibility of a Chase, so that you would only have to purchase 2 coolers to get both versions.

I never get that limited numbers are so important., Say they make tens of soda's that are limited to 1.000 or 2.000 pieces. I will have have a hard time collecting these and maybe will have to pay a lot of money for them. I just like the soda's and the easier I can get them the better. People who want to make money out of them will be disappointed I guess when there is no piece count. But that's not what collecting is about for me. There are two things that do annoy me when it comes to soda's: 1. Why make 25 Freddy Funko's at Halloween with 5 or 6 different molds. It's just too much... 2. There are so many interesting characters to choose from, why make 7 Jack Skellingtons? Just one soda for a character is enough.

I have decided to buy only the sodas I want to add to my small soda collection. I was very excited with the Trails soda. Knowing my luck I decided to buy the chase at the secondary market. I hope Funko doesn’t stop creating sodas. I would love to see the Toy Story characters, The Beauty and the Beast or the Disney Princesses in soda form. I only own 2 3Lt sodas the first one Iron Robot and Maleficent. Both are common still very cool. I would love to see Rex from Toy Story as a 3Lt soda with the chase him wearing the clear astronaut like helmet. If Funko do make 3Lt Freddy Funko is one I will go after.
