Not really feeling this one. It's too similar in my opinion to the one that came out last year. Big pass for me.

very similar to the bb-8 from last year. it is a fairly large dome for such a small golden figure. But hoping to score one in stores.

Just checked my order history and I placed the order on 11/22/16. So if they follow the same trend, it'll be available on Tuesday of Thanksgiving week.

Yes. One of mine I ordered online came with the head off. However I was able to screw it back on without issue.

Now if it's easy to get, I may cop one but honestly I personally did not think it was that cool or nice looking. It was sort of off that it was all gold painted.

Same for me. Passed on BB-8 and will be passing on this one as well. Not worth the price to me, and I have no room for a box like that anyway. I hate the oversized dome. My local HT is not gonna be happy having to find space for these, because the BB-8s are still on a shelf collecting dust. They only sold one since it was released. I honestly feel bad for my HT, because these are gonna be holding up valuable shelf space. I don't understand why they don't put the BB-8s on clearance to try to get rid of them. Maybe they aren't allowed to, I don't know.

It's a pass for me too. The gold BB8 was one of those rare times that I regretted buying something Funko.

I want it, but like the bb8 it's just way too big. Shrink down the dome (or remove it altogether), and make the box smaller and it would be a day 1 buy for me.

I agree! my local HT didn't sell a lot either. They actually ended up clearancing lots of their BB-8. My local HT also have hella of those Fallout pops too!

Exactly my store had a bunch on clearance with a big sign that said for sale AS IS, they are gone finally maybe like a week ago I noticed they aren't on the shelf anymore.
