If you make a new subscription for the next box, you will be able to order the debut box afterwards. However, I would give it a few weeks before doing so, because that option probably won't be available right away

I'm just praying there are no Dorbz in this box. Every time I get a box from Funko now, they try to push these stupid Dorbz on me. Dorbz are Pops ugly cousins. They're on clearance everywhere I go, so hopefully the end is near...

Sadly for you Icarus, Dorbz are going to get pushed way, way harder this year than last.... If you don't like Dorbz, unfortunately it's going to get a lot "worse" before it possibly gets better. :razz:

I'm with you! I don't like Dorbz either. Some are kinda cool looking (like Ghost Rider), but I am generally not a fan. To each their own though, I know a lot of people like them.

With that said, I don't mind them in the boxes though because my daughter likes them and this gives her something out of the boxes since I give my son the Star Wars t-shirts (I get the MCC and DC shirts).

I also know that they are pushing Dorbz hard so I am expecting more, not less.

That would be the best thing EVER!!!!!! \:D/ But we all know that will never happen. I'm planning to order myself a big box of Dorbz, since retailer refuse to stock them. I have Assassin's Creed, BvS, and Daredevil in sight!

So I've seen unboxing and without giving any spoilers away, Legion of Collectors first box seemed a lot weaker than MCC first box. I wasn't impressed with Smugglers Bounty first box but I thought that it was weak because of the limits Disney put on what Funko could and couldnt reveal. Given all the reveals in trailer and the B vs S POP and Dorbz already out I didn't think WB would be as limiting. I may be overthinking this based on longtime rivalry between Marvel & DC but I think Marvel had stronger first box. What are your thoughts?

The hulkbuster made it a better box otherwise they're identical, the shirts are nearly the same and you get twin pack of dorbz instead of 1 and they're gitd.

I agree with you. My problem with Dorbz is a lot of them have the exact same face. For some characters it just doesn't look right to me. It would be cool if it was like Mighty Muggs with same mold different faces. The window box packaging on the front/back was a great idea though.

I'm not a Dorbz fan because they're just repeats of the Pop! characters for the most part. I don't need a Rainbow Batman Pop set and a Dorbz Pop set as well...

I am a bigger fan of DC so slightly biased but I like this box a LOT. The Hulkbuster piece was cool, but to this day since the 90's the only book I consistently read are Batman, so that pop was a bigger plus to me personally than anything Iron Man. I don't want to spoil the box...I liked the shirt. Yes the designs can be similar but it comes to tastes as always and I liked it the same way I like the Iron Man vs Cap shirt in a similar style. Nothing weak about the box and I think it was a great debut, but again I'm DC fan and it stands to reason, if you lean more towards Marvel, you'll appreciate that one more. I'm a way bigger Star Wars fan and didn't like the debut as much as the second...it varies...

Exactly my point. Other than two gitd Dorbz the box was identical including a shirt design that is just a modified version of the AoU shirt in MCC. Why not do a 6" armored Batman? That would have created the same demand with fans and collector as Hulkbuster did. I have collected both DC and Marvel but I prefer Marvel, and am disgusted by the cynicism of the DCCU. But if I was a DC fan I'd feel let down. If just Seems like this was a lazy choice that doesn't have the same value MCC's first box had.

The Hulkbuster was a huger point of the Avengers marketing, BvS doesnt really have anything comparable like that marking wise other than Armored Batman.

I think that's what bothers me most. This is a movie with the three most famous comic characters in history. Yet Marvel is one Upping them with box that's a year old.

I think it's going to be an exclusive Supergirl. But I'm getting that box because as weak as Arrow has been I still like all three shows. There is a Firestorm coming out sometime this spring/summer.

Honestly, just because some characters are coming out later this year doesn't mean we won't get live action variations of them. Some of the characters we've gotten in the other sub boxes prove that different versions of characters can be made.

The next box could have anything from these 3 shows.

The Hulkbuster armor is 11 feet tall, whereas the Hulk is only 8 feet tall. The Hulkbuster armor accurately should have been 40-50% bigger than Hulk, and it is.

Seriously? If you want to argue semantics we can do that, starting with your belief that 50% of 11 is 8. Aside from that, your answer doesn't address my underlying point. There are already dozens of Batman variants so instead of a new POP as unique as Hulkbuster, DC fans get another Varient. Why did Marvel get a 6" pop and DC didn't? I'm not trying to start a flame war I just believe DC fans deserve better and can't, for the life of me understand why DC fans never demand better.

Most likely funko didnt have a 6in tie in for BvS that they could use.

It is hard to do things around a movie were the use of certain characters is limited

They probably should've done two POP's for the first box. A 6" would've been nice, but nothing comes to mind. Would of liked a Lex, but maybe spoilers?

There are already dozens of Batman variants so instead of a new POP as unique as Hulkbuster, DC fans get another Varient. Why did Marvel get a 6" pop and DC didn't? I'm not trying to start a flame war I just believe DC fans deserve better and can't, for the life of me understand why DC fans never demand better.


Most likely funko didnt have a 6in tie in for BvS that they could use.

It is hard to do things around a movie were the use of certain characters is limited


Yeah, while a 6in armored batman would be cool, it wouldn't fit in with the BvS line. Hulkbuster is already supposed to be huge and that is why it is 6inch.

People also forget that MCC is the first Funko mystery box so of course they have to put something in it really nice to grab people's interests. A year later and 5boxes from Marvel, 1~2 from SW, people are getting a DC one. People could also just be desensitized.

I didn't get this box but i checked out the spoiler. I think it's a solid mystery box for what it is. It's comparable to what's been in other funko boxes...which to a lot of people think sucks because they don't receive a HB level pop.

Oh and another thing. One thing people never seem to realize is that if Funko could and make more characters, they would. Why wouldn't they? More Revenue. BUT there's things and steps Funko and any other company out there has to do. Licencing agreements, contracts, limitations, etc. And sometimes, negotiations go on forever or don't reach an agreement.

I've seen the unboxing as well. I think it is a solid box and I have no issues with the contents. I had hoped for a stronger debut box but it is still a solid box and I feel I got my money's worth.
This is still the first box and Funko was probably limited to what they could produce. Between the size of the box and contractual limits, who really knows. Other boxes may be less limited and could still blow us away.
If you look at the reactions to the Marvel Sub, the complaints went up after the debut box. Hulkbuster set the bar very high and the Jane Foster Thor & Ultimate Spider-man were solid as well. Then it was nothing but complaints for the Morbius and the Guardians holiday box. Not to mention a very mediocre reaction for the AoU box and the Deadpool box. If the DC box starts off in a similar fashion, we would be doing the same thing.
The DC TV box could step it up or July's box (which will probably tie into the Suicide Squad film) may have a higher profile item in it. But again, we just have to wait and see.
As long as all the boxes are continuously solid, with or without a high profile item, I will be happy
