Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia taught me a lot about true lady friendship in The Golden Girls. Though the comedy is most definitely a product of its time–Golden Girls aired from 1986 to 1992–the problems the women faced hit home. We can still relate to their wins and losses and Sophia’s humor, else we wouldn’t have Golden Girls merchandise. For example, a Golden Girls edition of Clue is coming soon and Funko‘s already released Pop! figures. Funko’s following up those collectibles with Golden Girls Dorbz, and they are as precious as can be.
The Dorbz include all the girls and a bonus Sophia. We all need more Sophia. My favorite thing about the Dorbz format as applied to the Golden Girls is it makes the ladies all look sweet as pie, which only happened about once an episode.
The chase Dorbz in this set is the winner. Remember when Sophia thought a hurricane was going to blow Miami away? It happened in season seven and was part of a crossover event with Empty Nest and Nurses–because of course. Sophia sported a fitting custom shirt for the occasion: “I’m ready! Take me hurricane ’91.” And now, it’s immortalized on a Golden Girls Dorbz.
Bless us, everyone.
See Blanche, Rose, and the non-chase Sophia in the gallery below. The adorable Golden Girls Dorbz will be available wherever you get your Funko figure fix in October.
Will you be adding more Golden Girls to your collection? I mean, you kind of have to buy them as a set, right? Head to the comments and tell us which Dorbz you’ll be bringing home.
