I absolutely agree with you on this as well! Dorbz were incredible! I was a slow adapter admittedly but they grew on me and I miss them as well.

I think both the Dorbz and Rock Candy line ended way too soon.

I really do and I’m not sure why they disappeared because the price point wasn’t bad and I think they looked great. Like I loved Hikari But I understood why they kind of phased out because the price point was just a little high.

I remember Hikari and I remember the price point being high, well higher than what a young 20 something had for disposable income. The Rock Candy on the other hand was within my budget, just not sure why the community didn't buy. Guess its one of those, "to each their own"

I really liked the rock candy assortment too. I think the sodas are a mix of rock candy and dorbz. I do miss dorbz though too.

I don't either, it probably wasn't selling well enough and there is no reason for a company to go back to a product that didn't perform how they wanted it to.

I fee like Rock Candy could have survived a bit longer if Funko released them like they did Sodas: smaller quantities, limited editions, numbered, with a chance of a chase. It's nice to see Rock Candy protos show up in the proto groups though.

They would have to scale down the Rock Candy to make them fit in cans, but it would have been totally doable. If they made that happen in the future, they'd be called Soda Candy. You heard it here first folks! ;-)

It's hard to hit that "perfect formula" that resonates with consumers. I actually thought Dorbz would stand the test of time -- clearly I was wrong, haha.

Very true, I really like the paka paka and snapsies but the price point for them is too high to buy these blind bags and get dupes for personal collection, but to give out for stocking stuffers its fine.

Hello All...first time posting under THIS account. Been off the Funatics board for a few years. I am a die hard Candy fan.

The sad thing that I am noticing is, that from all of the Funko designers and artists that I have talked to, the Rock Candy line was a FAVORITE one of most of them. It's validating to hear that the reasons why I love the Rock Candy, are the same reasons the people designing them loved them!

Personal opinion, one big thing that killed the Candy was the Ralph Breaks the Internet line. They were cute but wasn't really what made the Rock Candy what they were. Disney Princesses in street clothes...if you didn't already know who it was supposed to be, could you really tell?

They got SO many things right that made Pops the perfect collectable but missed on giving Rock Candy the same chances. Box design...so important in the success of Pops, but with Candy, not settling on a size and then adding tabs to be boxes just made them so hard to stack in box to display. I think it was mentioned before with the Sodas....LIMITED EDITIONS and chases. That is what made everyone crazy about the sodas. It's so frustrating because there is a TON of ugly a** sodas out there. The designs were just weird for a lot of them, but people still went crazy.

Everyone I talk to love the Rock Candy. The potential was always there. As someone with an art and design background the Rock Candy are far superior to anything else (even the Pops). There are still a lot of collectors that would love to see them return. There are so many great characters that can be done now. I know there were designs done for a Star Wars line....just imagine a Princess Leia or Ahsoka Candy!!! Unfortunately I think the Funko Gold is the closest we will see....and those are just flat out trash...haha.

Thanks for letting me give a little rant.

But you are correct, a Princess Leia would have been the bomb or Ahsoka. Maybe it was just ahead of its time because it was a great line.

I miss some of the Rock Candy's for sure. I would love to see more of the actual princess line. The wreck it Ralphs were great but we would love some of the princess that haven't been made.

I think they are missing out bigtime on what they could do with ANIME and the Rock Candy line! There's such a huge following for collectable anime statues, which would work perfectly with the style of Rock Candys. You can't tell me that Anime Rock Candys with a limited production run and chases wouldn't go crazy!!! Nezuko Rock Candy??? HELL YES.
