The smiles kind of annoy me.
I’d buy these if they had, maybe a smirk.
I love the design and size, And I would buy them.
Anyone else feel this way

Nope. The smile gives the Dorbz their charm. A smirk wouldn't be as good because it wouldn't compliment as many characters as the smile does.

No. Almost all Dorbz have a smile, except for a select few with frowns (Sadness, Both Baby Groots, a couple of Game of Thrones ones, and Levi from Attack on Titan come to mind).

Re: The smiles kind of annoy me.
I found this pretty funny when I first read it. Because it was also somewhat relatable. The smiles used to annoy me. But ever since I started collecting more, they’ve completely grown on me.
My name is Mia, and I like warm hugs.

Re: The smiles kind of annoy me.
I always thought an alternate non happy face would be good for chase versions, angry hulk, crazed dark Phoenix. Maybe they look too much like emojis though.

The smiles on the Freddy Dorbz are goofy looking but it's cute and it fits .

Theyre alright. Personally, I would have rather PSH never existed and their faces be placed on their Dorbz version.

No. Almost all Dorbz have a smile, except for a select few with frowns (Sadness, Both Baby Groots, a couple of Game of Thrones ones, and Levi from Attack on Titan come to mind).
We also have bizarro with the frown. I actually like the smile though as it puts some of these characters in facial expressions you will never see.

Couldn't have said it better. The Dorbz like Bizarro and Sadness especially are made even better by the fact that all of the others have smiles on their faces.

All Dorbz should have smiles. The baby Groot dorbz irk me as do the Logan Dorbz. All Dorbz should be smiling and a"dorbz"-able. That's the point. The only exception should be Bizzaro because he does everything opposite, so in a sense he is actually smiling. Dorbz smile and Moopeez frown. The end.

Yes! The smile does kinda kill it for me on certain ones but I still collect them. Glad to see I'm not the only one that feels this way.

Some characters just don't smile. It feels fake . I still buy them but I feel it doesn't match the character.

I don’t think they necessarily all need to have a smile but yes I get your point. It’s the whole point of the line so those that aren’t smiling feel off.

Yeah, I still collect them but I feel Funko painted themselves into a corner. I’m sure they did it to establish a particular design aesthetic, like the large black eyes on Pops. But the smiley face design largely prevents them from giving Dorbz more personality by varying facial expressions. Pretty much all Dorbz (with only a handful of exceptions) are... well, “happy”. When you look at other figures like Cosbabies, the range of looks is much more varied and interesting because they don’t limit themselves to certain eye and expression detailing.

Re: The smiles kind of annoy me.
ANY smiles on ANY toys are creepy! They can't make it realistic enough and they look like they're about to eat your soul. That's what I like about pops... no mouths (typically... with a few exceptions). They still look AMAZING but don't have the mouths... they're just a little weird.
Yes... we're still here! Hoping Fundays 2024 will be my first!

Re: The smiles kind of annoy me.
I personally like the Dorbz aesthetic with his with their smiles, but appreciate when they take the character's personality into consideration. Just got Levi from Attack on Titan the other day and the frown fits his character perfectly. Or Spock with his indifferent look is funny and appropriate.

Re: The smiles kind of annoy me.
I don't think i can seriously get into dorbz, because of their typical aesthetic. But i do dabble in some, and i can't lie that i do love a select few.

I prefer Pops with no mouths. Classic. The ones with a mouth I tend not to collect.

Heisenberg looks awesome without the mouth in your signature. I think some would look silly without a mouth (TMNT for example), but I definitely get what you are saying with the classic look.
