The design separation between Pops and Dorbz kind of breaks down with Minions, doesn't it lol

I think I might actually get this. We have all the other minions(I think). I love that he is wearing a fanny pack.

I'm interested to see how he stands out of box. I'm usually all for 'Anything can be a dorbz' but this leaves me rather perplexed. I like that it actually looks like a Minion but it doesn't look like a Dorbz :(

It's cute (the fanny pack!) and it certainly looks better than the Minion Pops. I'm just not sure if I want it.

I'm gonna be blunt here and say this ruined the SS wave for me. Usually I want either the POP or the Dorbz (sometimes both) and get the other because it's usually decent along with the sake of completing the wave/month. I love Iceman but I have absolutely no love for Minions. Hopefully May's wave will be much better.

Not sure why this is ruining people's days. It's not absolute favorite Dorbz but definitely captures the essence of the Minions and will be grabbing it.

This is what I think also. Very minion-esque but not so much dorbz look

As I was saying to others, its nice to see them going slightly away from design. Opens up a lot of opportunity for specific characters.

When buying POPs I always worry about whether or not they'll fall down because of heavy heads or whatnot, but have never had to worry about that with Dorbz...until now lol

I was curious if they were going to leave the round head, smaller body for these dorbz when they were announced and I guess this answers it lol. Im glad they went this route.

I like it and I don't at the same time lol
It doesn't look like the traditional Dorbz but really how else were they gonna make it? A Minion would not work at all with the regular Dorbz look. Only thing that throws me off is the feet. Might get this one just to take on vacation like others have said earlier.

I like how they did the Minion as a dorbz, but that hat is throwing me off. The profile just doesn't look right to me. It's still cute though, so it may end up in my collection.

For some reason, Funko paired this one up with Trapjaw, too. So I guess he's the SS Dorbz for two months?

Funko never paired up Iceman and the Minion, that was a leaked photo.

We'll probably find out in a month or so when they announce the next set.

I'm just happy I can buy Iceman now. I sure hope the Dorbz isn't another minion.
