I’m not in love with it. For the way you have to go about getting this pop it just isn’t special enough for me

That said I want the chase but wish it was better

I really want to see this one in person. Wish I would have picked up the redemption card before they posted it and love that it had a gitd chase

You mean in-hand? I haven't seen anyone online with any in-hand yet, but some people have said their status changed on the Upper Deck website. Mine hasn't moved yet, though.

Mine didn’t move either. So I gave up

I think the mold on this one is solid. I knew expectations were going to be lofty after the weight and having to essentially get the box to get ahold of it but I think it’s pretty solid for the first redemption pop. I wish they would have went with a format more closer to panini where there is a few redemptions and various numbers in the boxes - maybe a 1/1, 1/24, 1/250, 1/500, 1/2000, 1/5000, etc etc of course I don’t know the ratios as far as how much total product is available but you all get the drift.

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.

Yuppppp, there have been a few pops that have had better glows than initially shown in the glams, so here's hoping thats the same with this one!

It looks pretty cool. Surprised there's a Chase so there's that, was hoping for a bit more considering it being the first card redemption pop.

I agree with you on this one. They should have treated it like cards and had tiered versions of it. That being said I like the mold and just with the glow on the chase included the shield

So, do we think this currently-unveiled GID is the only variant? Per the Upper Deck representative, there would be "multiple" variants, suggesting there are other chase versions out there.

Right. A metallic version, or a fully-GID version perhaps!

That's a good point - it would have been nice if the lot was "limited" like panini style. Still a decent mold considering what it's based off of. Otherwise, I don't think it'll get as much traction as it would have.

My brother picked up two boxes at SDCC last year. He and I split the cards and we each got one Redemption. Fingers crossed on the Chase. Not the biggest fan of teh mold but it could have been worse.

Mine is also still showing pending with no update since August of 2023. I have another redemption card that I haven't yet submitted. Wonder if I should do it now, or wait until I get it in hand. I really would love to receive the Chase variant.

Yep, it would have caused waaaaay more boxes to be sold because people would be hunting the different limited pop runs. I think that’s what constantly propels the panini products to be sold at the rate that they do. If there was various ratio pulls you could possibly get , I’m sure it would increase the sales of the overall product. Good thing is it is the first iteration of the product and they have time to perfect it

Maybe we'll get lucky with an error pop and the shield will glow too? lol

If they weren't going to make the shield glow, I wish they'd gone metallic.

I want the glow to blind me at night haha there's never enough! One day I kinda want to see something completely ridiculous like scented but on a pop that doesn't have an obvious scent, then funko can tell us what justice smells like lol

I highly doubt it - the retailers (especially customer service reps) often don't know how Funko handles their drops, so I would take anything they say with a grain of salt. To my knowledge, Funko has never done a drop with multiple chases from the same item, so I don't see that happening - if it was happening, that would be a HUGE change that would definitely be announced in another way.

They actually have but it makes sense you wouldn't remember since it's the alien from Valerian. Doghan Daguis (just looked it up) had two chases. All three versions were pretty low priced since the movie bombed.

Interesting! I'd love to know the story behind how that happened, feels like they did it on accident since that's such a random movie to do it for lol maybe we'll get different Chase versions for Cap, who knows??? (still not banking on that happening though haha)

Fair point. In reality, it's probably these two and only these two that have already been revealed. Still excited, nonetheless!

Not sure opened eyes would make sense based on what the pop pose references. Perhaps a metallic version would be another chase, similar to how some of the fundays pops were like a metallic jollibee freddy and a GITD jollibee freddy.
