I'm not one to criticize funko but this just feels uninspired to me :smt102

Well, I already have a BB and Beast. And a mohawk storm, so....not sure I can make shelf space for this even though that clear BB is fineeeee.

I hear you!

Still, I only collect X-Men and Doctor Who so this has to find a space on my shelf. I expect Wolverine to be coming along on his Dorbz motorcycle (hmm Ghost Rider's Motorcyle without flames) soon enough.

I definitely will pick this one up if I see it... prob not gonna go out of my way to e-bay it or anything until after I've seen live pictures

This is amazing! I only collect the ladies of X-Men so I am very happy to have a version of the Blackbird. She's gonna look cool next to my Wonder Woman Invisible Jet Ridez too!

Now I've moaned about repaints in the past but this right here is IMO how a repaint should be done! We get a new Storm and now Marvel has their own invisible jet lol

I also think this is an attempt to reach little girls =D>

Not all girls want a Barbie doll

With the recent success of WW I expect to see more female superheroes taking the wheel and lead.

I still don't mind even if the blackbird is the same type.

Postby **funkystark** » Tue Jun 20, 2017 2:45 pm

Uninspired.. there's plenty of other repaints that have come before this that are much more uninspired, I'm looking at you deadpool

Stealth mode, long haired storm with the black suit.. I call this a win.

I'm still waiting on Cable to show up near me, now there's another X-Men exclusive? Ugh! And yeah, it's a lazy variant... but I'll get it. Assuming it's as plentiful as the Beast with Blackbird is because even my podunk Walmart has like 4 of those.

I do think that if they want to keep giving exclusives to Walmart, they need to force Walmart to actually get them in stock. I don't know why they want to pay Funko for exclusivity rights and then not stock the products. My Walmart has only had the Beast one and I've seen it and pink Raven at the bigger Walmart near me that I can go to without much trouble and the other I can get to only had the Pink and Red GITD Power Rangers, but I haven't seen any others in store except the ones at Christmas.

How bout...umm...a...what's it called? Oh, I know....

A NEW CHARACTER!

We already have 2 of her. Make someone else!

Postby **Jezter** » Tue Jun 20, 2017 4:42 pm

I'll get it eventually, because she's an X-Men character BUT, I was hoping they would make Forge if they did this.

Of course if FUNKO wants to make a BlackBird in POP form, please make classic 90s Forge to go with it, please please please!!

Storm is one of the primary pilots of the Blackbird.

Postby **DefNotBlitz** » Tue Jun 20, 2017 5:00 pm

I think this will be one of those I'll pick up if I see it appear on walmart.com in 6 months but it won't necessarily be on my wantlist.

Uh-kay. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO????

I'll probably buy it, but it would be nice to see someone else (Jubilee, Gambit, Rogue etc)

So it makes perfect sense to release her with a new version of the Blackbird.

We all want new characters Funko is aware of this they make what they can when they can.

I understand she is one of the primary pilots but was hoping for someone else.

Postby **jagpop** » Tue Jun 20, 2017 6:08 pm

This one looks great! Let's see how hard it is to find.

Postby **treswright** » Tue Jun 20, 2017 6:26 pm

Oh man, I'm not a big Marvel fan but, as you are all sick of hearing, I am a huge Ridez fan and this one was totally love at first sight for me :love10:

I'll wear a girl scout uniform if that's what it takes to get this one lol

Postby **Funko_Don** » Tue Jun 20, 2017 7:11 pm

As a Ridez collector, I need to have this! Not 100% enthused about it, being so close to the Beast w/BB, but I'll definitely pick one up at Walmart if I can find one.

Correct

And LOVE this!!! She can hang out with WW in her jet in my shelf

Postby **HaloHawk87** » Tue Jun 20, 2017 8:19 pm

This looks ok, but not something I want, which is good, because I will never see one at my local Walmart. Not because they're bad at stocking, but because their Dorbz shelf is completely full of Dorbz that won't sell, including the Beast ride. I'm pretty sure they haven't sold a single one.

Postby **akagalar** » Tue Jun 20, 2017 8:56 pm

It's a cool looking Ridez, but probably not something I will get.

Postby **cn7gamer** » Wed Jun 21, 2017 12:01 pm

I doubt I'll see one in the wild, but I'll be very tempted if I do; will go well with my WW invisible jet. I'll have to keep my eyes open.

I don't have a storm yet so this works out for me haha but I would love to see morph or someone else.

They really expect it to ship in only 8 days from today?

They got stuff really early compared to stores in the US. I had my Cable dorbz from them for minimum 1 month before it showed up in Walmarts.

Anyone seen any updates on this one? Blog says late July. Hoping to snag this one.

Let's hope Walmart will start putting all their exclusives online before they ship them to stores. Walmarts are so hit and miss and if the store doesn't move product it's safe to assume they won't get new inventory.

I've been loving the online ordering with them. Getting stuff shipped to store for free. I also hope they have as many of these as they did the Beast Ride. Those were always plentiful at the Walmarts in my area.

Damn when I saw this bumped up I thought it was available online!

It's back in stock at FP, just ordered it myself!

Ya this ride is cool looking and I hope I can get one. My walmart still has Beast in the BB so we'll see.

Postby **GeekyFinds** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 6:08 am

When is this supposed to officially release?

Postby **treswright** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 10:33 am

Here's a pic of the prototype, a friend helped me out on this one and it's on its way to me now :-)

Nice addition buddy! Pretty soon you will need a cabinet just for the protos.

Thank you! And I am already there! I'm pushing 25 Rides/ Ridez protos :eek:

I've already exceeded the area I had set aside for them and am thinking about expansion lol
