According to the tracking, my box left NJ 3/4 at 325am. It's only a 2 day Ship from NJ to my address yet still no box and nothing updated on the tracking.
I am an in box collector, so I am praying for a decent box. If not, I may have to take drastic measures for a replacement lol

I've seen the unboxing and I like what's inside. It's not as big of a debut as I had expected but it is still worth the money

Postby **PopGoestheJess** » Tue Mar 08, 2016 8:44 pm

My box arrived at my post office...five hours ago. Of course it gets here AFTER mail is delivered. Sonofalowdownnogood... What kind of bootleg "tracking" is that?! To not update until it's damn near in your hands...

Hopefully nothing is broken. Very excited. More than 3 people like the box. Check #legionofcollectors of #armoredbatman on Instagram :razz:

Can. Not. Wait.

And now to get my armored Batman Dorbz...

Can't see why if you ordered this box you would be unhappy...

You got the pop you know you were ganna get. Which I think he's pretty awesome, and I. Not a huge batman fan.

The Dorbz 2 pack is pretty cool. Don't collect Dorbz but we can expe t a box full of pops can we?
Not big fan of shirt, prob won't even wear it but hey I didn't say the box was a 10 out of 10
And the usual comic book, pin and badge.

So overall very solid box. Imo better then half of the marvel boxes.

Just wish they give so,ethkbg different then a comic book badge and pin

So, my estimated delivery date jumped from March 8th to March 14th over night.

Not funny.

Yea i'm not liking this new delivery system my box went from Hauppage in Long Island to NJ just to come back across the bridge to NY and then process thru USPS my estimated delivery date is now the 12th...if i could pin point the location i would pick it up myself to save my box from getting thrown around from state to state

Looks like Toy Tokyo got their boxes in aswell cuz they had an Armored Batman on their premium wall for 50 hairs... I dont understand their pricing sometimes how is that priced higher than a Goblin Chase boggles my mind

No, what I don't understand if how you're going to charge 50 bucks when the entire box was 35 shipped.

I just don't understand why anyone who is a huge Pop collector would also want Dorbz. I guess at least they're better than Reaction figures.

It's probably due to the fact that many people who collect POPs also collect Dorbz....or that they never specifically said this is a POP only box. Yes, POPs are Funko's biggest seller right now...but they also want to push their other lines to get people interested in them. As for me...I have no interest in Dorbz. Maybe that's the wrong choice, because who knows, maybe one day these will be as big as POPs are now. I have my doubts, but its possible.

I understand them pushing Dorbz and stuff. I do. I guess I'll just have to suck it up and look forward to double-Pop months.

Not that I agree with their pricing, but it is a game of Supply and Demand i guess
I wouldn't pull the trigger at $50 even if Pop Price Guide has it valued at $45

We're for the latter part conscious consumers....atleast i hope we are lol

Postby **BeefyPenguin** » Wed Mar 09, 2016 11:08 am

I'm actually very suprised the pop is still going for $45. I think the first people started getting there box last Friday. By this time on EVERY SINGLE other box the pop has droppped to around $30

At least with this Superman/Aquaman pack, the packaging is pretty cool. I hate Hikaris as well but their boxes are awesome too

I like Hikaris....well certain ones. I have a handful. Others are just...no. Would be cool to have a Hikari in a sub box one day...as long as it wasnt in the Star Wars box!!

I am shipping a batman v superman box to an overseas friend and I'm out to buy a box to put his box in for shippment and forgot to get measurements. Can someone measure their box and let me know what the measurements are?

Postby **Battastic** » Wed Mar 09, 2016 11:55 am

The whole Dorbz debate is a bit pointless. It was never stated that this was a POP only box. There will never be a box everyone enjoys 100%. Whether its Dorbz, Mystery Minis, Hikaris, pins, patches, comic books, or the shirts....someone is not going to like something.
Treat it like a Loot Crate box, keep what you want then sell or give away the rest.
The Dorbz 2-packs are selling on ebay for $20, get some of your money back.

Postby **RobinBear177** » Wed Mar 09, 2016 12:18 pm

I'm actually really anticipating the Dorbz because I also have the wal mart exclusive mystery minis to match so I'll display them together. I think I might even turn off auto renew and just place a new order for the next box and get an extra Batman box. I've only seen the pop on youtube vids so far but I think I'd like two and getting the whole box is a better deal to me.

Postby **poppetmaster** » Wed Mar 09, 2016 12:21 pm

Does anyone know if the eyes glow on Batman? I don't think they do...

Postby **RobinBear177** » Wed Mar 09, 2016 12:53 pm

I'm almost certain they don't. I saw vids and no one mentioned anything like that. I was hoping for that also cause of the video they put out. Also i collect Batman Cosbaby figures and their armored Batman does have LED eyes.

Just received mine, the Batman looks like it was squished between the Dorbz and something else, has a tear on a corner, a long crease on the side, the top and bottom openings are all bent...first and last box I order.

Don't email Funko about it...they'll tell you to pound sand and enjoy the figure out of box [-(

That or they'll just not reply after your second message, which is what happen with me in December.

I completely agree. I don't anticipate liking everything I get in one of their subscription boxes, but realize that there is someone out there who will be interested in buying it. Overall I think the three Funko subscription boxes are head and shoulders over the competition.

All but 4 of my 10 dorbz i have gotten through MCC/LoC/Fbox and really the ony two i dont really like are the LoC ones and that is only because im not big on Aquaman or Supes but they are still displayed with the rest. Jason and Loki are the two that really sold me on them and will be happy with more dorbz and minis

Postby **PopGoestheJess** » Wed Mar 09, 2016 5:46 pm

Got my box and love everything. I can't sew the patch onto anything so I will most likely frame. Only gripe is the lack of shipping paper...on the outside. I'm not accusing mail people of being thieves, but...Yes I am. They can see exactly what the package is. It should be wrapped in shipping paper.

Oh, you mean that little piece of tape sealing the box isn't enough for you? :roflmao:

Postby **jrocksphotos** » Wed Mar 09, 2016 6:15 pm

i really appreciate all the items that came in the box. the dorbz was a big plus because i was not expecting that to even be part of the box. if we were to be sold the t-shirt alone at Hot Topic it would be an easy $25 alone.
a Dorbz + Pop + Comic Book + Pin + Patch and special edition box for $35 with shipping is a huge steal.

the only thing i would suggest is that the way they are packaged so no damage occurs during shipping.
my armored batman has a dent in the top portion of the box not going to cry about it but would like to receive a mint condition product next time.

Postby **PopGoestheJess** » Wed Mar 09, 2016 6:26 pm

Side note: the shirt is HUGE!

I ordered M because I figured, if it's too small, I won't be able to wear it. If it's too big, I'll just wear it with leggings. I'll be wearing it with leggings.

Postby **Zoom** » Wed Mar 09, 2016 7:34 pm

I really liked everything that came in the box. I'm a bigger DC fan so I'm happy that they started their own version of Marvel's collector corps. The only thing I'd change about the 1st box is that the shirt was in English lol

. Still a great shirt though and everything that came in the box is awesome. Especially the Armored Batman Pop

Postby **Battastic** » Thu Mar 10, 2016 6:22 am

Tracking finally updated and the box will be here today. Fingers crossed nothing is damaged

Postby **ks082091** » Thu Mar 10, 2016 6:40 am

I got mine and it was great! But I was a little sad about how they packaged it. It doesn't seem like they did as well as with the Marvel ones. The Batman pop had this huge crease in it that I couldn't even push out. :/ but, there were two of the comics inside! Same comic, but 2 is nice. Lol

If the shirt is like a dress, there's gonna be some trouble around here. Ordered a few boxes, one being XS for my boys...hopefully it's not size tent on them. lol

from the looks of my box it seems as they didnt account for the movement of the Dorbz two pack. I thought they would be able to fit in with a divider like marvel has done but im not sure. But this was the first time they have shipped something like that.

Postby **RobinBear177** » Thu Mar 10, 2016 5:22 pm

Just got mine in. Really happy with it and I think I'm gonna cancel and order the DC TV show box so I can get another. I'm an OOB person but luckily my Batman pop box showed up pretty much perfect. Like a 9.8 or 9.9

Postby **Ske7ch** » Thu Mar 10, 2016 5:32 pm

The shirt is super long, mine fits great...but I can't use it since it makes me look as if I had a dress on lol

Postby **Funkofish** » Thu Mar 10, 2016 6:09 pm

Does anyone know if you can order this box if you order the new TV one - like they do with Collector Corps?
The guy in the US that was meant to order me one thinks the order didn't go through (he says money was not taken in paypal) so am super bummed and trying to find a way to still get one...

Who is online
