Mega Dorbz question

Postby **Blasphemic Nephilim** » Sun Jul 24, 2016 6:04 am

Anyone know if the Mega Dorbz that were at FunDays were only for that event or are they a first to market premiere of a new line? There was quite a lot of them, 8 I think, which had me wondering if they were being premiered or only an event exclusive. Before making my wallet cry, I'd like to get some thoughts on them from fellow Funatics.

Being a lover of mostly Dorbz and Super Deluxe Vinyl, and after seeing some certain things mentioned from Fundays (ahem... 18" Deadpool?)... I'd love to know more, too!

Traditionally when Funko has made pieces this big they've been made in very limited quantities and only for special events. I'd say there's no way these will ever see a regular retail release, but we might see different subjects gigantisized (that should be a real word :-)

) in the future. By the way for those that missed it Gemini posted 6 variants. They sold really quickly. There was a blue, grey and red version of Deadpool and two 1966 Batmans (traditional color and orange) as well as a "Japanese inspired" Batman colorway. I took screenshots of all of them and will try to get them posted soon. From the pics I've seen of Fundays I think there were only those 6.

Saw the same... those 6. Awesome that you got screenshots. All I have is painful memories now. :blackeye:

Wow! Gemini still has the blue Deadpool. $275! :eek:

I saw your post that you missed out on the Deadpools, sorry you didn't grab one! It's just a guess but I think those prices may have been on the high end, so i wouldn't be surprised if you found one on eBay for about the same, maybe next week when people start getting settled back in at home after Fundays and realize they don't have room for something that big!

It's been unavailable for a while according to what I saw.

I know the mega Dorbz Captain America that was at the Pop-up shop is getting a release of 750 pieces in August? Not too sure about these guys.

So you're saying there's a chance... :freddy2:

This also gives me hope.

Y'all are wonderful!

Two of the X-Force Deadpool Mega Dorbz have gone for $699 and $750 on eBay respectively already ](*,)

Oh well... can't have everything lol

What???? That's nuts! How many of these were there? Maybe less than I was thinking.

I've watched 3 of them sell (one from Gemini, two on eBay) and one go up for trade on Facebook... so I'm aware of 4, and that's just the X-Force colorway.

I would have guessed at least 100 of each, but maybe not. Looking at the pics of the hauls from people coming back from SDCC I haven't seen a single one. Maybe the Gemini prices were a bargain after all.

Rumor is that they made enough for most of the Fundays attendees but much of the shipment arrived damaged. I wouldn't be shocked to see these on Funko-Shop or released in a batch of a couple thousand like Hikari or Super Deluxe later down the line... but I wouldn't hold my breath either.

We're talking about the same thing, right? The 18" tall Dorbz? Seems highly unlikely they would have brought 3000 (the number of attendees) of those to Fundays. Most people flew there and wouldn't be able to take something that large back with them. Plus being so big they are no doubt quite expensive to make compared to Pops and regular Dorbz. Just out of curiosity I looked up the interior dimensions of a 52' semi trailer, even if stacked 5 high the trailer would hold less than 2000 lol

Those things take up some space!

I missed out the Cap Mega Dorbz. I heard they only had 52 of those at the pop up shop. Hopefully it's true that they have a wider release in August. I guess I'm gonna have to purchase the deadpool and batman through eBay.

Postby **Blasphemic Nephilim** » Mon Jul 25, 2016 11:52 pm

I have no idea why the least intelligent resaler sound up with all the Mega Dorbz. The prices they are asking are retarded. Freddy prices, even when they get retarded (and they do, a lot), at least make a sort of sense. Freddy is Funko's mascot. There's history tied to both the character and the event the pieces are handed out at. None of that tradition changed. Freddy in Pop! form was still the star of the show. It literally makes no sense to be asking $1500+ for the Mega Dorbz. Read that there may be a bunch hit the Funko Shop next month, fingers crossed everyone who wants one can get one. Odd how an event that has FUN right in the name managed to destroy most of the FUN I had with this hobby.

Postby **mindblowin02** » Tue Jul 26, 2016 7:36 am

There are probably 6-24 each of the Mega Dorbz that were at Fundays. Those color ways/designs probably won't be available in mass.

No one got confirmation, but the pieces on the tables in the front are usually one of the "big" prizes.

Postby **Blasphemic Nephilim** » Tue Jul 26, 2016 9:28 am

One day when I'm able I hope to attend FunDays and SDCC. For the experience of it all. Seeing how incredibly happy people I know who went are is really wonderful.

I think I promised to post my screenshot of what Gemini has listed, here it is:

Postby **swind15** » Wed Jul 27, 2016 2:03 am

I want a crazy colored Mega Dorbz Batman and I want one now! :mad:

Seriously though, I would definitely pay $75-100 for a mega dorbz funky colored Batman or Freddy if put up on the Funko shop. Please make it happen powers that be. [-o<

Postby **Valde** » Wed Jul 27, 2016 2:12 am

I think those crazy color ones are fine for $300 or so.

Postby **Blasphemic Nephilim** » Wed Jul 27, 2016 3:36 am

$300 is fine. $1500? No no no.

What time and day were the Mega Dorbz on Gemini? Those prices are not bad compared to what people are asking for on eBay.

I think it was Sunday afternoon. I was doing some work around the house and just happened to be walking through the room when my laptop page reminder pinged, I stopped to check and there they were. The 3 Batman colorways were posted again today just a couple of hours ago, I posted about it in Eye on the Web but they were all gone in a couple of minutes.

I have a birthday coming up in a few months, I'm just saying lol

I don't think I'll ever own one of these, but they are absolutely amazing!

I read somewhere that the Mega Dorbz Cap will be $85 when it's released in August. I can't remember where.

those mega dorbz looks amazing but since my problem is the lack of space i totally buy one .... the x force deadpool but now the prices are so god damn high...

300 dlls sounds great... maybe one day !

Postby **Ske7ch** » Thu Jul 28, 2016 3:37 am

I don't collect Dorbz but I fell IN LOVE with the Batman Mega Dorbz!! After I recover from SDCC I plan on getting at least one of them!

Postby **mindblowin02** » Thu Jul 28, 2016 5:20 am

I'm not much of a dorbz collector (I have maybe 5), but I had to have this one.

Postby **philipali** » Thu Jul 28, 2016 11:25 am

I would love to get hold of a Mega Dorbz.. This one is an amazing piece....

Postby **philipali** » Thu Jul 28, 2016 11:26 am

Are they releasing a Mega Dorbz Cap soon?

Postby **keyese** » Thu Jul 28, 2016 4:16 pm

I love that orange Batman one! I think only a few tables got the Mega Dorbz from the spin wheel during Fundays, but maybe they have more available (or those are the ones they gave Gemini?).

Postby **treswright** » Thu Jul 28, 2016 9:28 pm

Got my blue Deadpool today. Woah he is huge!! I'll post a pic tomorrow. His head is literally bigger than a human head lol

Are they hollow?

Postby **valorandvellum** » Thu Jul 28, 2016 9:42 pm

Yeah, I don't recall seeing THAT many people walking around with these at Fundays. Those that had them were the envy of the room! They're pretty spectacular.

Yes, and plastic, not vinyl. It's a thin, hollow shell. Pretty light actually.

my table was part of team stitch, and our table was one of the tables that won these awesome mega dorbz. they are huge. we had a few deadpools, and batmans. my table was pretty lucky, we even won some protos.
