I am with you. I love the baby one with the lower case A, the crying tear, the diaper, and the band-aid boo boo. Makes me smile every time.

After going to IG and putting in the hash tag it is going to be really hard to pick just one to bid on. I hope this is just the beginning of #redorbz projects.

These are sweet. I'll have to make a losing bid.

These are amazing! I can't wait to see all of them together!

Love seeing all of these and how they've come together. Really hope there's some kind of contest to get our hands on one cause this would be the ultimate as a Captain America collector

Subbed to the mailing list for the auctions. Not under any illusion I'll actually WIN one, but it's worth a shot, right?

Marvel and Funko have announced they will be joining together to celebrate Captain America’s 75th Anniversary - and the United Service Organization’s 75th Anniversary - with Operation: ReDorbz. This July, Funko and Marvel will host a charity event in San Diego as part of the festivities surrounding San Diego Comic Con. As part of the momentous milestones, Marvel and Funko have gathered gifted artists from Marvel Entertainment, The Walt Disney Company, Funko and beyond to bring their own original twists and takes to 18-inch Captain America “jumbo” Dorbz figures. Following the event in San Diego, each and every one-of-a-kind figure will be auctioned on eBay in support of the USO.

Seventy-five of the custom collectible figures will be on display at Funko’s San Diego offices during San Diego Comic Con, and the gallery will be open to the public through the weekend. Following a private, 1940s-themed gallery showing on July 21st, each of the 75 figures on display and approximately 200 additional submissions will be available for auction on eBay.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Marvel to support the USO and celebrate Captain America’s 75th Anniversary”, said Brian Mariotti, Funko CEO. “It’s an honor to host this gallery event in our San Diego offices, and the auctions will be an amazing opportunity for collectors to own a truly original work of art all while supporting the USO.”

I can't wait to see all of these together. I would love to buy one, but I'm sure the bidding will go way out of my league. I hope they go to good homes and I'm happy the money will go to a good cause.

The Groot one made with paper bark is pretty extraordinary as well.

Also, seeing the box for Cap makes me want it even more.

Postby **xmaldigolax** » Mon Jul 18, 2016 4:31 am

I have stacks of comic books that I am sending to USO, i like this charity, hope they raise a boatload.

Love the Joe Simon and Jack Kirby one.

How often are they going to add them on eBay? I saw a couple I'd like to keep an eye on for sure. I know they'll probably be way too expensive in the long run, but it's nice to dream.

It seems they are adding more and more slowly.

Postby **CptWhizbang** » Thu Jul 21, 2016 9:00 pm

are they not putting them all up tonight?

Postby **allhermight** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 6:36 am

So I have the winning bid on three and I doubt I will win any of them. I would never spend this kind of money on something like this, but the money is going toward a wonderful cause. So it's more like a donation to a worthy cause and receiving a gift for making a contribution, right?

Postby **CptWhizbang** » Fri Jul 22, 2016 1:07 pm

I'm really getting irked that they haven't finished uploading them all to ebay. I don't want to bid on anything until I've seen them all =/

Postby **ocwankenobi** » Tue Aug 02, 2016 7:53 pm

i won one. delivery supposed to be tomorrow.
1) its captain america (my guy)
2) its pretty much the same price as the two ebay auctions that ended for the normal released mega-dorbz captains that sold out
3) its for a good cause and subsequently a write off in terms of charity if i am not mistaken

win. win. win. win.

Congrats! I was thinking of bidding on one of them for all the reasons you listed. It's charity, art, and is a comparable price to production mega dorbz that sold eBay. I was really liking the vintage looking cap.

i am completely inept at posting pictures. if i email them to you can you post them for me ? or if you can take me through it. seriously i am embarrassingly a tech idiot.

i have the spartan one fyi. i love it. i was "enabled" by seeing how expensive the regular mega capt dorbz was sold for on ebay. what kind of sick logic is that ???
