In conjunction with Toy2R, Dark Horse will start things off for their Domo Qee blind-box mini series with a special SDCC Exclusive transparent yellow Domo Qee.   The full series will launch in August featuring the lovable Japanese TV mascot and a fun ‘Build-a-Domo’ concept.  Each figure comes with an extra component – combine all six of the different extra parts to build a bonus Domo fig.   The Domo Qees are Dark Horse’s first blind-box series to date.
