Seraph of the End and Tokyo Ghoul Dorbz

[PopGoestheJess]

This seller is in TX (Austin). Did anyone else's GS preorder come in?

I didn't get a call, but I never do.

[grandpa_stern]

So, I called them. The guy said they were "out of stock." I asked, "Does that mean they came in and are gone or that you never got any? Because I preordered them." He was like, "Uh, ok. Can you give me your phone number so I can look up the exact dorbz? Hmm. Let's see. I show zero in stock and zero in transit. But they have been released. Sometimes with these collectables, they take a while to trickle out to the stores. Since you have a preorder we will call you when they come in." Right....Anyway, yeah, seems like they are out there.

I didn't get a call but swung into my local GS and they had it in. The cashier was kind of shocked since no one mentioned they'd come in. She did mention that some stores might not get theirs in for a month, though I don't know how true that would be.

[grandpa_stern]

I got the call! Woot!

[grandpa_stern]

Well, first box I got was crushed. Had to go ten miles to another store to exchange it, but I now have a good one. Only small nitpick is that I thought the blood tendrils would be translucent red, but they are solid. And the glow is kind of weak. Otherwise, a pretty cool lil guy.

I picked up Kaneki today, haven't been able to find Juzo yet. Sadly I don't think mine glows at all even though it has the sticker

It's weird. I'm hearing all these people say that theirs don't glow. I admit, mine only glows faintly and only for a second when I hit it with my UV flashlight, but it does turn red. Sorry to hear yours might be a dud.

[Lilbrimer23]

Mine doesn't glow either. Which is a shame. It's still a very cool Dorbz.

Thinkgeek got both of them in for me and my Naruto dorbz with chase. I usually get my stuff from Thinkgeek before GS everytime.

I got the Ken Kaneki Dorbz recently because it looked like a pretty bad-ass Dorbz, and it glowed. Or, well, sort of glowed...

The glow is EXTREMELY weak. It's the red appenditures that glow. At first I thought it might be the hair that glowed - nope. If you leave him in-box, you will see absolutely NO glow. I took him out and charged him up - still no glow, as far as I could see. I really thought someone switched the box or something weird, with a regular non-glow figure.

After a few more attempts, leaving him charging for like a full minute, half an inch from a bulb, I killed the lights and was able to discern the FAINTEST little red glow I've ever seen...for like 5 seconds.

So overall, I think this figure looks awesome - but this is the absolute WORST glow-job I've ever seen on a Funko product.

[valorandvellum]

Looks like Juzo is starting to hit my area so I'm gonna pick that up tonight. And then I realized I should probably get the GS exclusive too so I hit up eBay for that. Between this and the Funko shop today, I've been doing really well saving up for SDCC...

[Rgncajun]

I still can't find any glow kaneki in my GameStops. Wish I preordered it.

[Lilbrimer23]

Not sure how we missed this one but I got my Shinoa Dorbz today and this guy was on the side of her box.

[clashcityrocker33]

Very odd that Mikaela wasn't announced...as far as I knew. He's listed on the Hot Topic website, but showing out of stock. Weird.

The GITD Pop just barely glows too, and doesn't seem to 'charge' at all with typical lights. I had one of those invisible ink pens that has a little UV light at the end and pretty much the only way I could get it to glow at all was to run the tip of the light along the kagune and even then it was barely visible even in pitch black darkness. I think most people just assume it's not glowing because it's so hard to get it to glow and then when it does it still hardly glows. Far cry from stuff like the ghost Godzilla, Zero, or Kurama that glow fantastically... even the GITD orange Catbug, BAM Cheshire Cat and regenerating 10th Doctor glow better.

As for GS not calling, mine never did for the few times I've pre-ordered. I had a Dorbz sent from a store in from a city too far to casually travel to and they never called me, but the day they said it should be rolled around so I decided to check the store pickup link and it said it was in stock at my store now and so I went to get it without them telling me, or else it probably would have been sold. Also, I'm kind of wary about ordering from GS now after that data breach where those card numbers were stolen... mine was stolen and somebody changed my pin and password and security question for my online account and then took out $487 from my card so now GS is a Paypal or cash only option

[Rgncajun]

I think it's the same for everyone's, the glow isn't too strong at all on kaneki.

[dragonlady5]

In case anyone is looking for Juzo, I found him on Hot Topic's site

[Rgncajun]

Odd that it doesnt have the limited edition sticker on there now

[dragonlady5]

Just got my Juzo in the mail from Hot Topic and it has the sticker. Don't know why it's not in the picture on the website.

[Rgncajun]

Ok that's good to know

This one was never mentioned by Funko but he's limited and I've also ran across him at Toys R Us.

Huh interesting. It's also crazy that they already vaulted the main character from this line

[Rgncajun]

It doesn't have a le on the box tho?

That was quick. Wonder if it was either poor sales or licensing issues.

[WildberryPOPtarts33]

These are Dorbz I'll probably have to track down at some point. Not the biggest fan of Dorbz, but anime characters and especially ones from my favorite shows are all kinds of trouble.

[AnaBanana]

And the collection keeps growing... Can't resist that GITD Kaneki

[WildberryPOPtarts33]

I looked around for some good glow Kaneki's and I literally can't find one goof example of it glowing. That dull red is the best we will get

[PopDaddy]

So sad that GITD Kaneki Dorbz does not glow.

[makehavoc]

Not much of an anime fan but this one is very cool..

I need this one!

[CaseyJones14]

The glow is pretty weak, but technically he does glow in the dark.
