The death of Funko Soda

[Tusken]

What caused a popular line to die off as I really did enjoy the soda line and thought they had something with it outside the norm of Funko.

This isn’t super surprising. There has not been anything that has come close to the popularity of pop except maybe mystery minis. But even then, they’re blind boxes which have been done by many other companies and Funko has other styles of them. Plus they’re no where on the same level of recognition in pop culture.

Don’t get me wrong, I definitely love many of their lines outside of pop but every line that is a hit is temporary and can’t compete against pop. There’s a reason why it’s been going on over 10 years and is going to outlast the life span of Wacky Wobblers.

If you love a line, buy it, talk about it, share it. If enough people buy it, they’ll make it. However, at this point I don’t see anything overtaking pop in popularity. People thought Dorbz would have the staying power before Soda.

Circling back, this has been brought up before and part of it comes down to displaying them (boxes are easier to store and set on top of each other) and also the nature of the product being blind buys means some people buy multiple to get a chase and then end up with duplicates that they have to unload. They also just aren’t as popular as Pop.

Soda has had its time and who knows they could continue making them.
