There’s a been a few pops that I’ve wanted that were missing details like that. I ended up not getting them because it just bothered me too much.

I have to agree with this being the worse Chase.

The best Chase...metallic Batman for sure. There are sooo many good ones though.


Ah yes, back when the chases were real chases (1/36).

Sometimes they definitely can be especially when they’re minimally different

What about the Metallic Superman Chase. How shiny the S looks on this chest. :smt033

That is a good one too. Let's just go with any DC Chase lol

Best chase for me is the Crow in the dark. Worst chase is Leatherface (pretty woman mask). They should of made that one more bloodier instead of a couple of red dots on the mask. I think that was so lazy on funkos part.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the Princess Jasmine Chase. The only difference is that she is holding an apple.
My favorite may be the translucent Zavvi Exclusive Batman Chase...but there are so many great Chase's

Fight Club was one of my favorites.

Totally different pop! Not a simple change in color or hand position.
We need more like it.

Let's be frank... best chase is any chase you can find for retail. And worst chase is any of the newer metallic variants. Seems too lazy.

So for me the best chase I own is the ichigo chase.
The worst chase in my opinion is the Gyomei Himejima chase from the demon slayer line. I love the anime and I am collecting the funko line, but I just think they got super lazy on that chase. It’s the same pop only different is that the chase has tears running down it’s face.

My absolute favorite chase of all time is the Tommy Pickles Chase from Rugrats where the chase has him in the color baby tee from the Pilot episode which was only used on that episode then and after they changed his shirt color to the one we know today. Great use of research and the idea of a chase design being different from the orginal.

My favorite chase is Tommy Pickles from Rugrats. Where the chase varient is him wearing the tee shirt the character wore only once in the pilot episode of the show.

I sorta agree. That they don't want it to be completely different but creativity is the spice of life. I think not all chase need to be 100 percent different but some can

I did like the old school chases, where they take the basic figure and make it metallic or another shiny color. Its "Chase" worthy imo
But, i do feel like it would get old if they did that w/ new chases. I do like the glow chase, or the flocked chase variants, or some of that sort. It's the same figure but different. I think its just making too many characters a chase that makes a lot seem boring and old

My favorite are either Alluka Zoldyck or King Bradley! Both variants on the surface appear to be similar, but if you are a fan of the show both are super meaningful and thoughtful!

Additionally, weren't the chase stickers applied to the wrong Pop too?

I dunno, I still have issues with the Funko Shop Stitch with Record Player Chase. Well, no the chase is great, but it shouldn't have been a chase. The common was terrible. Stitch touching a record and looking deeply into the void. Without context it's a nothing Pop. Stitch touching things! Woo woo! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Best chase is any metallic versions of the regular standard pop!

Worse is anything that is with little detail like flocked or simple hand difference or item.
I haven’t seen anything cool as of lately.
