Hopefully the glow is very strong on that chase. Looking forward to getting mine. Do we think they are shipping out after the final redemption date or sooner? 2025 seems like a long time to wait.

Last updated info someone posted on here was end of this month to start shipping. Lets hope thats true


Thank you! I must have missed that! That’s really great news. Been waiting so long \:D/

I totally agree with this. I usually always prefer metallic over glow on the Marvel. This is just a glam they could adjust the glow before production maybe. Never know.


I like the idea of the metallic option too or if they at least made the shield glow. Hopefully there can be adjustments made to the glam but I don’t believe I’ve seen that happen before once the glams get leaked. Overall, love the sculpt!

It’s nice to finally have photos of Cap! I was hoping they would do something a little different with the box, similar to the NFT ones but oh well. I have 5 redemption cards **fingers crossed** for a chase.

I'm a fan. I didn't know what to expect but this is such a unique capt variant we haven't got in pop form yet. I do think the glow was unnecessary and wish for the chase they went with a battle damaged/ dirtied up version. That would of felt more fitting for the movie. Nonetheless, excited to receive this pop whenever it will come in

I had seen the picture but did not realize until I hopped in here that it was the upper deck variant. I still have a box that I have not opened. May have to break one out.

Make sure to double check the terms and conditions to be sure. There might be a hard deadline to redeem the Pop!

I’m not a big fan of the chase version. While I don’t mind a glow chase, the glow area just seems too small. I agree with others, a metallic version or a different mold would have been cooler for a chase.

Not gonna lie, I'm far from impressed with this. We're waiting over a year for this mold? The Chase is a simple glow of the uniform? Man. Creativity is just about left the building it seems.

Did someone say there were three versions before or was that just speculation ?

I wish the chase had a glow shield. But it's ok. The current chase glow reminds me of that thing the Rock wore around his neck when he first started WWE.

Yes, I have multiple because there is supposed to be 3 different kinds. If there isn’t then I’ll get rid of the extras I have. I had people cancel the upper deck box set I was helping buy at Sdcc so I opened them so I could redeem the pop

Well now that pics have been released how do we feel about him???


Saw the image and I think the pose is cool. Glow is underwhelming for a first release redeemable. I tried giving the Upper Deck Cards a go but wasn't a fan. I wasn't able to pull any redeemables anyways but I don't think I'll be going for any more.

May 31st 2025. The glam just went up so the redeems will be going up in price now because of the hype. Grab one fast or wait it out til the pop comes so you dont pay a ton.


Wait the upper deck one your saying is the Redeemable? So now you gotta get lucky after that to get the chase. That would be crazy

The glow is a little light but the pose is awesome! Captain America Winter Soldier is the best MCU movie (I'll fight anyone on this haha) so I'm glad we're getting the poster in Pop form. I have like 8 redemptions so I better get at least one Chase lol

It’s based off of the movie poster where cap is looking downward/bowing his head. I think his eyes are closed too.

I agree but that might just be my preference for always shiny vs sometimes glowing. But I'll take a chase in any style over the normal :)

For anyone trying to check their redemption, I just called Upper Deck today who said they are doing maintenance on their site, hence u may have issues logging in. You can call them to confirm ur redemption status (said they are likely shipping end of month), and u can email them to redeem any new cards u have.

Hopefully there's still time for them to improve on the glow aspect before it is released, but it is an awesome mold!
Yea glams aren't always for sure how they'll look. Maybe they'll see the feedback, here's hoping.

I have four redemptions submitted. I can't wait to see the Funko Pop! in person.

I thought there were supposed to be three different variants.
