Is Funko not bothering to do Dorbz for this movie? I am not a POP loyalist and think a lot of the characters would look cuter as Dorbz.
Do you think they will or not? As a matter of fact, I'd like Dorbz of characters from the OT (young Han and Leia) and PT (Darth Maul and adolescent Anakin)

I am sure Funko would love to make TFA dorbz. I assume it's more related to the license.

I believe they said in a Q&A that they do not have the licensing rights to Star Wars for Dorbz.

That would be such a huge license for Funko and a huge monetary gain for Disney..don't see why they wouldn't be down... If they gave Mickey to Funko to do a Dorbz when he's their main character, they couldn't be too worried about the change in character designs that Funko does with their Dorbz line. Hope it comes along because I'm sure part of the popularity of the POP line really skyrocketed with the introduction of Star Wars into the POP form. Can't imagine the Dorbz line gaining the same level of popularity without the Star Wars brand being included.

I would suspect it conflicts with anther companies license with Star Wars, but I have no real idea.

Right...because Disney's hurting for cash right now.
Pop didn't really take off until it's second year, by which time they had already done Star Wars, Disney, DC and Marvel. Right around Toy Fair 2012 things just went nuts.
I get the sense that Dorbz is doing well enough without Star Wars. It would be nice. I think I would like a smiling Vader
Until then, if you need a cute, smiling Star Wars fix, get an Itty Bitty from Hallmark.

I want a BB-8 Dorbz! Also, Finn could have a chase variant of him in his stormtrooper gear.

Re: No TFA Dorbz???
When they announced that the January Smuggler's Bounty would have a "flocked item", I was really hoping it would be a flocked Chewbacca Dorbz.
In my mind, it would be a perfect way to launch a Star Wars Dorbz line.
Alas it wasn't to be (although I loved what we did get), and now I read all the lisencing issues and.... well yeah I'm not holding my breath.
Would be great though!
