They could have just made EE the exclusive online retailer. :/

It is my understanding (and if I'm wrong please feel free to correct me) that part of the deal with the Specialty Series was that the company can't have had a Funko exclusive to receive these. For example, EE, TT and B&N all have had exclusive variants in one form or another so technically they shouldn't be carrying them. But, as with most things, they change.

When has DS ever had an exclusive that wasn't PX? The idea of the specialty series sounds good on paper, but it has become a hassle. They should have figured out the fine print before announcing this.

Dorkside had a Star Wars variant, R2-L3, a couple years ago.

it was nice to get that refund for dorkside. i honestly didn't know who would end up with them so i ordered howard from like 5 different places. I honestly wish i could cancel all of them aside from bkgeek. when HTD ships i will be having a few giveaways lol

WHERE THE HELL IS MY DORBZ????

Postby **PopGoestheJess** » Wed Aug 03, 2016 7:06 am

BBTS has changed the ETA from July to Aug.

We may end up getting Howard around Christmas. ](*,)

And another announcement.. first ones still not released hahahah

Postby **CaseyJones14** » Thu Aug 04, 2016 12:55 pm

Seriously can we release the first ones before we get more announcements? haha love these though!

Postby **absyrd** » Thu Aug 04, 2016 1:06 pm

The only way I remember I even have the first two on order is by updates of more coming out. Sigh.

Hahaha.

Need max so think of me people

Postby **TanyaTate** » Thu Aug 04, 2016 2:04 pm

There are only 3 specialty Dorbz due to be released at this point, correct? Howard, Flash and now Jack. I just don't want to miss one.

Postby **Battastic** » Thu Aug 04, 2016 2:07 pm

Must have the Pumpkin King

Postby **PopGoestheJess** » Thu Aug 04, 2016 2:10 pm

Seriously, Funko. -_-

Postby **Jezter** » Thu Aug 04, 2016 2:12 pm

So....out of the 3 Dorbz they are releasing so far...I NEED ALL 3!!! I really hope it's not as difficult to get these as I am afraid they will be.

:/

Pumpkin King looks fantastic. Definite must-buy!

Postby **PopGoestheJess** » Thu Aug 04, 2016 2:36 pm

Darn it. I don't WANT to preorder anything else. Grrr!! I have Howard and Jay. Dressed to Kill Deadpool. And 4 that I can't name at GameStop. And we just saw Dr. Strange yesterday.

Stop it. Just stop it. I hate having multiple preorders.

Yes, that's all. June didn't have any announced for some reason.

I kinda dig the Pumpkin King but I'm WAAAY more excited for Max. Mostly because I finally know one of my favorite side characters from Star Wars actually has a name!

PUMPKIN KING DORBZ! NEED THAT!!!

Postby **PopGoestheJess** » Thu Aug 04, 2016 5:03 pm

Will definitely be ordering these as well..... just wish they'd start shipping the earlier sets

Postby **Snapz** » Thu Aug 04, 2016 10:28 pm

Will these specialty series ever be released? Feels like months now. I noticed this is numbered 233. Makes me worried that there are 30+ dorbz that aren't announced anywhere and I still need to purchase the existing ones.

Postby **swind15** » Sat Aug 06, 2016 1:47 am

Pre-ordered both Pumpkin King Dorbz and Max Rebo. Both are awesome and necessary IMO.

Seems I missed the Max Rebo entirely (sold out everywhere) so just pre-ordered on eBay - doh. Still need a Cosmo! Wondering how rare these will be once they are released?

I was wondering the same thing. I was able to get both the pop and dorbz of the first series and then only the dorbz in the second and third. Waiting patiently now for the first release so we can see if the retailers receive more than what was sold online.

No news, still? :/

The frick, Funko. Are you going to release Howard sometime this century?!

Should be within the next two weeks according to some releases dates

Postby **StarWarner** » Fri Aug 19, 2016 8:39 pm

I keep bugging my local comic book shop. They have all of the specialty series on order and are probably so annoyed with me.

I can't wait to see these in real life.

Postby **michellepop** » Fri Aug 19, 2016 8:40 pm

It's gotta be right around the corner!!! I need that Howie dorb!

Postby **PopGoestheJess** » Fri Aug 19, 2016 8:58 pm

At this rate we'll be seeing Flash around Christmas and Pumpkin King next February. ](*,)

this site still has it on pre-order. all other SS pieces are sold out.

Postby **HowardTheDuck** » Mon Aug 22, 2016 1:51 pm

I really wish Funko would address this. I don't think I've been so antsy for a release in years.

Postby **MartinMtz702** » Tue Aug 23, 2016 3:24 am

YES!!! My favorite pop this year is finally coming!! If he has multiple that you can grab I'd love one. No pressure or anything though.
