RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – On Thursday, January 9th, the American company marketing Funko dolls released a version of the drag queen Pabllo Vittar wreaking havoc among the singer’s fans.
The Brazilian artist’s doll version features a look inspired by the ‘Problema Seu’ clip’s costumes.
However, after its release on Funko’s online store and Hot Topic website, the doll became unavailable for purchase due to high demand.
On social media, the singer’s fans said that they were unable to buy the dolls on online stores and specialized Funko stores in the United States, as Pabllo’s doll was sold out.
“I tried to look for the doll in two stores in NY and they said they didn’t have Pabllo’s Funko anymore”, “I can’t buy Pabllo’s doll, can somebody help me?” “I went to buy Pabllo’s Funko Pop today, I went to all the stores in Massachusetts from Hot Topic’s and they were all sold out… The employee told me they were all out in less than 12 hours” and “My God, nobody can buy Pabllo’s Funko anymore here in the United States. Is it sold out already?”, were some comments from fans on social media.
On Friday, January 10th, the dolls became again available for purchase, but only on online stores. With prices ranging between US$12.50 to US$15 (R$55 to R$70), Pabllo Vittar’s Funko is still sold out in stores and has not yet reached Brazil.
