I like that idea too. All the ones I like tend to be exclusives.

As long as I still see more Freddy Dorbz I'll be happy. I have chosen specific lines to be dorbz specific. :freddy4:

I love Dorbz..again, I wonder if the price was more proportionate to the size, would that help drive demand? Glad to hear from Brian that they’re still on the table!

Agreed, I think this would be a smart move. It would make them "rarer" and maybe more sought after. But I'm just glad to hear dorbz are sticking around!

Pops will stay my #1 but I also really like Dorbz and kinda feel like they are the way pops used to be. Not as much hype and not that hard to find if you know where to look.

There were rare at the beginning I think and people really liked that. Probably means rare ones at SDCC to start.

To be honest I like Dorbz, I do however see them being less popular now sadly. I didn't even know that the Ren and Stimpy ones were released on HT site. I came across them just looking the other night and picked them up. Normally there would have been an announcement about them going up but didn't see any at all. I've collected almost all the Disney ones and other characters that I like.

To be completely honest... I'm not too mad about this. Never was a huge fan. Not saying that I WANTED them to fail, but I think it's good that Funko has started trying more new ideas.

I think in order for dorbz to be special, they need to be characters or variants of characters that only are made as dorbz. The overlap with pop versions kill the interest, cuz people will opt for the more popular pop version. It's hard to just do a character exclusively as a dorbz -especially if they are popular- because people will riot, but an exclusive variant...that's something I think most people can get behind, where the specialty types are only what dorbz are, or if characters are only dorbz they are obscure and never can become pop form.

I went to GameStop to preorder the Hellboy set and they said NOT SHOWING IN SYSTEM. The only ones they had on their list was Rick and Morty (which is already out). I know the Solo set it due out in a week or so, but aside from those...Nuttin. Can you hear the crickets? :-({|=

Where them Dorbz at? Hmmm? Somebody? Anybody?


I feel like there is a huge lack in production. Naturally pops are at the top of the game, but I also don't think there has been anything for a while. Maybe we're waiting in anticipation for a big release?

I really love the dorbz line. But as people here have said, dorbz lack the certain creativity that Pops bring. Poses for instance. But I still cant resist the cuteness of dorbz. Hope they will do the other race carts dorbz ride from Wreck it Ralph. I would love to see that on my shelf.

It seems the focus is now on Vynl and 5 Star. Don't think I'm into the 5 Star but have been on the fence with Vynl. Still only about 20 released so far to not much to catch up if Dorbz go away.

I'm worried about Dorbz after seeing there were no reveals at Fundays. I hope they aren't going away :(
