They're tiny and cute. How can you resist?

I love how they wobble but they don't fall down.

After recently getting into collecting pint size heroes, i realized that pint size figures have heads which show the sculpt and details reminiscent to Pops, but have Dorb-style bodies. Does anyone feel that if Funko made Dorbz utilizing the pint size figure style, that it would be even more appealing?


I prefer the dorbz the way they are! Don't want them to change. Their charm is their simplicity... :-({|=

I really don't collect dorbz but have noticed them getting better over time. They've done some really cool things with them. Personally, I don't think there's any reason to redesign them. They've become extremely popular since their introduction. If it ain't broke don't fix it!

I don't want them to change. In fact I'm kinda mad that Funko went ahead and changed Black, White, & Green Lantern Batmans head sculpt from the original glam. While their specific cowl worked for the Batman Returns Dorbz I think they ruined the aesthetic by changing these 3 dorbz head sculpt for seemingly no reason.

I liked the uniformity of the heads, Just wondering if the change as anything to do with these being from more recent storylines?.

The only reason those disappointed me was because of the glams. They showed the nice flat Batman headmolds instead of what we actually got. If they had been upfront, I'd be less miffed.

Same here. I haven't got Green or White Lantern Batman yet but, the packaging on my Darkest Night still uses the old glam so it seems like this was a very last minute change and I don't believe they ever said why they were changed.

Same for the other two lanterns. I think this happened right when production started.

I agree. Dorbz are their own thing, no need to make them look more like other lines....because....other lines.

Wish they hadn't changed the head on the lanterns. I thought they looked better.
