Yesterday via Funko Facebook page, a recognisable “Soda Kats” design made waves through designer toy scene as the designs are very similar if not exact to Black Seed Toys “Soda Kats”. Funko’s animation quoted “Introducing Soda Kats, the first series from Paka Paka!” and “original line from Funko” which who knows Black Seed Toys is the artist behind Soda Kats. Could this be Funko reaching out to artists that we know and love? The next phase of Funko? Black Seed Toys already acknowledged Funko’s video which you can check out below.

So we are guessing its an official collaboration or licenced design. This would make sense as veteran toy artist Gary Ham now works for Funko, could be the man behind the scenes pulling some strings for this next Funko direction. Blackseed already has his Soda Kats released independently as well as SODA Series 汽水系 by POP LIFE SFBI so why not Funko? from the feedback on social media its caught plenty of attention from non-designer toy collectors.
Anyway, don’t want to wait for Funko editions? hit up the banners below for SODA Series 汽水系 by Black Seed Toys x POP LIFE SFBI, Mini Soda Kats Blind Box Series by Kenneth Tang Blackseed Toys x SFBI Originals and SODA KATS By Black Seed Toys x SFBI Originals
