Like could there be multiple chase variants for one mold? We’ve only seen the one mold with its one chase style. There’s no word of there being other pops as redemption prizes, if that’s what you mean instead.


Yes. Like metallic (or flocked lol). Or even a chase different mold as the Capt2 uniform (one of THE best Marvels movies made imo). Just hoping for the best.

I mean, I can understand it must suck if a country doesn't allow the cards for some "gambling" reason but you can't completely screw up the exclusivity just to appease a few small markets. I'm getting flashbacks to people at home getting a metallic capt america after thinking I had 1 of 250 LE

Funko releases exclusives in other countries that don't get America release, so no great excuse that they need to make it available in other countries.

I was looking forward to this one but I kind of got mixed feelings too that I found out that they will be selling over seas without the redemption.

For real! If they wanted to make it available they could have had it where the non glow was available overseas but then those that had the redemption card were guaranteed the glow varient. Something to help ease the blow.

I hope we get a positive reaction from response from Funko. If this is the situation moving forward, future redemptions with cards would be irrevocably damaged.

It would basically end this new line of product IMO - I'm shocked that they're already have five and below stores. I'm hoping for the best and I'd like to see these take off. It really reminds me of the older 90's marvel cards I used to collect (and still have btw). My favorites were the full hologram cards... which by today's terminology, are foils.

It’s almost a year where Funko x Upper deck cards had been introduced. Still no redeem pops in customers hands.

It would absolutely end this line. They had so much steam behind them on initial drop. If they had fulfilled these quickly they could have had the beginning of something. Instead they are taking forever to fulfill, and they probably won't respond to this issue which will lower the already low interest in them. If they drop another set at SDCC I can't see them sell out at all when last year people were falling over themselves and paying over retail to get their hands on these.

Foils !!!! I know I am getting old I was there at the beginning of sportflics and these two "new" companies score and upper deck breaking into the big three market (topps/fleer/donruss).

If the create some positive momentum before SDCC they would sucker me back in. A lot of us get nostalgic opening up packs/boxes,

I can't say for certain this particular set had holograms...but if not, I'd love to see them in a Series 2. It seems like almost everything 90's is back! So, why not hologram cards :)

In other news...we are inching toward the end of the month, which means the redemptions shouldbe shipping soon. Let's get that GID chase!

I like the pop. Don't love it, but it's okay. Not sure how i feel about it being sold in Europe without the cards.

Yes. I don't remember the number, but there was math that was broken down for it. The problem is, there have been people that have gotten multiple Redeem cards in a single pack. So knowing the exact number is impossible to pinpoint now.

Furthermore, if it does truly release overseas, they usually do separate bathes from the US for distributing outside of US. Like when they came out with the international Sodas to offput there being a finite amount in circulation in the US. The only luxury we may have as those that redeem the cards, is if we get the upperdeck sticker, and overseas does not.

Regardless, there won't be a way to see exactly how many there will be, only a base number based on 1 redeemable per box.

It would be interesting to see if the international ones get the "SE" sticker... but I'd rather it stay exclusive to the cards. It's such a big slap in the face to release it in that manner - but I'll reserve judgement until we get official word on it.

I think it's super shady but the redemption component of the NFT redemption has been shady in itself so I've stayed away from these cards so far. I'd be livid if a redemption exclusive was just a standard limited edition release and not exclusive to the redemption. Throwing a chase variant into the mix I guess is a cool bonus but I don't think it excuses the main issue.
Yes... we're still here! Hoping Fundays 2024 will be my first! :bounce:

Agreed. I am hoping they get the SE sticker. That seems to be the only saving grace. Unless they just don't do the chase for overseas.

I honestly think this requires some type of apology, redemptions just to be released overseas without the needed redemption hast o feel awful for people who chased these.

Yeah. I wish this chase had more of a variation, but not surprised with how long the redemptions has taken to ship. Less factors in the delay, but this is pretty quick compared to most card redemptions I’ve gotten over the years.

Disappointed really. Sad we waited so long for what seems to be a very common/basic mold, only to have it sold overseas. But what can you do.
