Gamestop still get dorbz in stock, I don't think HT stores get them anymore... at least not in NJ. I love certain dorbz, so I'll buy them online if I can't find in store.

From where I sit Dorbz are a lot harder to sell particularly some of the Specialty Store ones...embarrassing to say how many I have left over from a year ago or longer

I have a handful of Dorbz - I just get the ones from the lines that I love ... Pops are my jam though. Seems like Dorbz get a lot of hate and are just generally not as in demand - which Is good for those who collect them. Not as much competition from other collectors!! I wonder if Funko will ever phase the line out...

hopefully we can see some more dorbz for NYCC

Postby **dexiesmom** » Tue Aug 28, 2018 10:34 am

I hope they make some NBC dorbz! Maybe closer to Christmas for the 25th?!

Been seeing a decline in dorbz for a while which is a shame. I think dorbz are very underrated and look great displayed with eachother. I just got some new shelves for all my dorbz and have been buying more to fill out the shelf. Luckily they are cheap so I can buy a lot!!

I haven't seen that many dorbz they might have taken seat back behind 5 stars and vNyls looks like

I agree with you on this. There have been a lot more Vnyls produced this year than Dorbz. I think we could still see Dorbz show up in mystery boxes, but probably not a lot of new ones directly to shelves. It will be interesting to see how the 5 star line does. I think that will factor into the future of Dorbz.

I hope not!!! I just discovered them.

I am hoping for a Tony the Tiger dorbz at NYCC.

Wow! Those are so awesome!! Chase metallic or gitd would be sick

Hope not, I still collect them

Postby **Vinyl4Blood** » Thu Sep 27, 2018 12:47 pm

nah, things roller coaster all the time. Dorbz are awesome. They aren't going anywhere.

But now that you mention a Dorbz Funko Train... how about a Dorbz Mickey on a Disneyland Train would be a dream come true for me.

Postby **HiroSevet** » Thu Sep 27, 2018 1:05 pm

I think dorbz is starting to release a limited number of pieces like the pennywise dorbz instead of mass release. I love the dorbz rides though. For me personally I love dorbz

I DONT BELIEVE THEY WOULD GO AWAY ARENT THEY ONE OF BRIANS FAVORITE PRODUCTS

Postby **LilThor** » Mon Oct 08, 2018 1:40 pm

I collected dorbz from day 1. I loved the cute aspect of them and I love how small they were and the box was more sturdy. But it's so hard collecting so much these days that the price point between the two are pretty close. I think a lot of folks prefer more detail so they want the pop vs the dorbz imo

Postby **bakivali** » Mon Oct 08, 2018 6:56 pm

The early Dorbz didn't seem as great quality (painting mismatches, not as much detail, etc), but now they are getting better at making and painting them while still maintaining their style.

My Hong Kong Phooey has a different shade of orange on his arms and my flocked Eeyore has a giant hole in the flock on his head lol

I do agree the detail and overall quality has improved, but since they are put together individually you are going to see lots of problems. I wish the arms were part of the molds because it always seems like you can see tons of glue where they were put on.

I think it's our Drax that has mismatched ears, and his face details were a little off from the eyes. But the set they did with him and Gamora with the yellow pants showed improvements.

Good ol' first wave of Guardians of the Galaxy!

It is fun having old sit next to new and seeing the changes. The old school Marvel with Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor definitely made a huge improvement as well. Now I'm getting sad thinking Dorbz may be no more

Postby **jerry_finklestein** » Mon Oct 08, 2018 10:20 pm

I have a few, but I try to just stick to pops. They just appeal in their own way, I don’t think they are super hated on.

Postby **brooklyn_geek** » Tue Oct 09, 2018 4:42 pm

I haven't ordered Dorbz for my online shop in a LONG time. I would order a case or for friends & regular customers to order and then the rest of the case would take forever to sell...I still have 2016 dorbz I can't sell so imagine the big box stores pulling back from them. If the line isn't profitable it doesn't make sense for anyone...

Postby **Playthatfunkomusic** » Tue Oct 09, 2018 4:46 pm

For me they're just too cute looking. I would kill for a Donnie Darko POP line but can never find it in me to buy the dorbz set..

Postby **edlopez0416** » Tue Oct 09, 2018 4:52 pm

I hope Dorbz don't go away for good I really do love them. Although recently I have been able to catch up on the collection since they are mostly on sale everywhere.

Postby **sree** » Tue Oct 09, 2018 5:48 pm

I have loved the Dorbz ever since release but I was too invested in the Pop line to start collecting another line. So I got some Dorbz here and there but never collected a lot.

Same I mainly have every single flash dorbz :cheers:

would love more anime

Postby **rontonsoup** » Fri Oct 12, 2018 5:56 am

I only collect the Disney ones. In a way I'm glad it's slowed down because I need to save money anyways

Winnie the Pooh and Tigger were the last ones I bought. Bring on some Toy Story please!

I personally don’t like dorbz. Not much anatomy and detail imo.

The only dorbz I own are ones given to me on the subscription boxes.

That's sad. I understand though. I can't really complain as someone who doesn't collect them.

By any chance you know where you heard this from? It's obvious that the retail common waves are all but done besides maybe a few here and there but that contradicts what's been told to us in terms of the line overall. We just got a new Flocked Eeyore last week so I'm doubting it

Which again, if that's the direction they have to go I understand but I would want them to just tell us if it's true

Who is online
