Posted on by

Funko has announced some more details and images of their upcoming Operation: ReDorbz, which will see over 200 hand-painted, limited edition Funko Captain America “Dorbz” are up for auction exclusively on eBay beginning July 21: http://www.ebay.com/funko with 100% of proceeds going to the United Service Organization (USO).

Marvel, Funko and eBay for Charity are joining together to celebrate Captain America’s 75th Anniversary with a charity auction of customized figurines to support the USO’s 75th Anniversary. Through Operation: ReDorbz, over 300 artists from Marvel Entertainment, The Walt Disney Company, and Funko were invited to customize blank 18-inch Captain America “jumbo” Dorbz figures. Following a kick off as part of San Diego Comic Con, these unique pieces will be auctioned exclusively on eBay in support of the USO, a nonprofit, charitable corporation that supports US soldiers.

These highly collectable, one-of-a-kind artist creations reimagine Captain America as a piñata, the Cheshire cat, a Mexican ‘luchador’ wrestler, Zootopia’s sloth Flash, a Russian matryoshka doll, and a scene from Disney’s Finding Dory. Comic lovers will appreciate imaginative tributes to Captain America creators Jack Kirby & Joe Simon and visions of Steve Rogers frozen in ice, as well as inventive mash-ups with Guardians of the Galaxy’s Groot and the classic Captain America arch nemesis Red Skull.
