I had an embarrassingly delayed realization that Dorbz is the current hip vernacular for adorable. I'm neither hip nor young nor internet savvy so that is my excuse. I like to pretend I'm young, but the moment some new verbal trend emerges my facade crumbles. So, yeah, forgive any previous "Dorbz are adorable!" repetitiveness. I get it now. I'm really excited about the future of this line. The simple designs and minimal decos lend themselves to a great collector line. I foresee a wide selection of characters and variations on the shelves in the next few years. There have been statements made that these won't see wide distribution like other Funko products, so hopefully the sales will be enough to bring future waves. So far I've only seen them at Hot Topic and FYE record stores. If anyone sees them elsewhere, let me know where I should be hunting. I'm expecting they'll show up at Barnes & Noble and Comic Shops eventually. (Poison Ivy and Catwoman should be out shortly!) Let's check out Harley below!
Time for a Group Pic!
Cheers!
They'd only be Marvel and there's no telling what characters they will be, but the Marvel Collector Corps first box had a Dorbz Ultron in it. I don't know about the Ant Man box because mine STILL hasn't shipped yet >:-( anyway, just so you know, the collector corps subscription is another possible place they'll be sold.
ReplyDeleteGreat info! I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for any exclusives in that club. I'm also inot the Funko Pop variants so that's another reason to keep tabs on the MCC.
DeletePS.. I saw the DC and GOTG Dorbz at Barnes and Noble. I think they were actually the cheapest I've seen them, too. I believe they were $7.99, but dont' quote me.
Pretty cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd addictive too!
