Funko London Toy Fair 2020 Reveals: Funko Vinyl Soda Figure Line

Just when we thought Funko was done they continue to dish out more collectibles. This time it is something unique and different that can spark the hunt all over again for some collectors. Looks like Funko has announced a new line of figures called Funko Vinyl Soda. This is apparently that each figure comes in a vintage style soda can picturing that retrospective character. There are 20 figures in total and it is covering the classics that made Funko so popular like Big Boy, Batman, Hanna Barbera, and more! Each figure is also very limited edition with the max being 10,000 made like Batman, and Wonder Woman to shorter runs like Batfink and Crusader Rabbit with only 5000 being made. On top of that, each figure will contain a Chase variant so every 1:6 figure you could be lucky enough with a Chase! This not only can excite collectors but bring vintage collectors back in the game. I would assume that these figures will be Funko Shop exclusive releases or convention exclusives. Only time will tell when they will be released and if more characters will be made in the future. Either way that Crusader Rabbit will be mine!

Introducing for the first-time ever, our newest line: Limited Edition Funko Vinyl SODA!
Included with each SODA can is a 4.25” vinyl figure and a collectible disc both with a 1 in 6 chase variant.
