I saw this guy in person at my local Pop shop. He's pretty awesome but way too big. And seeing the issues people have of him OOB, as much as I drool over him I have finally decided to pass. I have so many porgs already between Pops and plush ones, plus the sad porg later this year.

Out of curiosity, is it the legs warping or the body seperating from the legs? I ask because I have a tweety bird the leans like this, but it's because the plastic on his legs is warped. (Am guessing it didn't cure the right way or something).

The legs were coming out from the body. Separating.


That's terrible, hope it's something they will fix for future 10" pops especially at $30/pop.

Hopefully! I think that’s what that little clear plastic bit was for behind its tail, but that didn’t help at all.

Np. Hope you get one soon. I have a feeling you will.



Thank you for the luck. In fact as of today (4/18/18), my local Target got three in. Was able to score the first of the three. Unfortunately, they all had a little box cut slice defect, but I'm happy to have gotten one. Wanted to get another to help out this group, but the guy told me, it was one per customer. I told him fair enough and thanked him very much.

Thank you for the luck too! \:D/ :bounce: :cheers: \:D/


Yaaaaaas! Congratulations! And now...if only this lucky worked on lotto tickets. :-k lol

In hindsight, maybe it would have been better if the porgs had been mounted to the base with posts inside the legs and body for extra support (then again maybe they never thought the porgs would lean like that because of their weight.)

It looks like the legs are bending at the entry point with the body. My biggest worry is if it leans too far forward the weight will be too much and the body will actually fall off the legs.

I don't keep any of mine is boxes, so that's not an option for me. Even if I wanted to, I throw all my boxes out. (HERESY!)

I'm thinking about crazy gluing the back peg to his butt, see if that helps keep him upright.

We keep everything in box, I know this porg is very heavy, I can see why it's having problems on the tiny base.

Last time I checked, there were 6 in stock at West Covina. I drove over and got the last two. So much for one per person rule.

I finalllly got mine! So happy. I had been checking BrickSeek every day, but was about to resort to eBay. Then I saw the in-stock number had gone up, and my closest Target said in-stock. I rushed over there and got one. He's super awesome.

Holy crap, my Target actually had multiples in, as well as multiples of exclusive King Groot and Han Solo. And apparently they had Thanos in too. Employees are shocked they are finally getting exclusives. Now I might have a chance.

And yes, I lied, I did want him after I actually found him in store.

10" Porgs back in Targets

Postby Biff7annen » Sun Apr 22, 2018 11:13 am

Went out to check the 3 closest Targets for 10" Thanos on the off chance that some held them until the original stock date(spoiler: they didn't) and found that at least two were had just received 10" Porgs. For all I know the third might have had them too but the employee didn't tell me about them after telling me there were no Thanoses. The ones that did? 126th and Bluemound Rd in Elm Grove WI and South Moorland Rd in New Berlin Wi. Understand that they are also online.

Took my Porg out of the box to take a look at him yesterday and I have to say it’s glorious. Quickly put him back in the box though for fear of leaning. lol

Do the leaning Porgs have the issue right out of the box or does it develop over time? I have two and only took them out briefly to see them in all their glory. They stood up perfectly but I have put them back in the box until they have a permanent home or for any photo opps.

It was hard not to order this guy but I got laid off so I am just going to keep my fingers crossed he stays in stock. Luckily I'm not trying to complete my SW collection.

I've seen one where the base is slightly crooked so it had already begun leaning left.

Excited that I finally snagged this online. Definitely wanted to see him OOB but am thankful to see the issues folks have been having to keep him in Box.

It's a slow lean. It doesn't just bend over right out the box. It takes about a week to a get a full lean on. It seems to go till the belly is sitting on his feet. He looks rather aggressive, lol. I still want to try to crazy glue his butt to the peg in the back but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
