I Pulled the Rock Band Doberman from a Blind Box 🎸🔥 and He’s a Whole Problem

 I Pulled the Rock Band Doberman from a Blind Box 🎸🔥 and He’s a Whole Problem  Okay, real talk: I didn’t think a 6.7-inch action figure could humble me, but here I am — defeated by a plastic doberman in leather pants. His name? Marcello. His vibe? Rock band rebel with abs, chains, and the kind of “don’t talk to me” energy that screams lead vocalist with a messy breakup past. This isn’t just another cute collectible. This is chaos in vinyl form.

The Past in Sicily Series by Throbbing Instant is back on my shelf and in my life, and this time it brought a whole Doberman who looks like he could headline a darkwave music festival or date a vampire. Marcello is his name, and from the second I cracked open that blind box and saw the pop of red-and-black hair, I knew he was trouble. This isn’t your average “aww how cute” figure. Marcello has that moody, stylish, high-maintenance energy that makes you question your life choices... and I respect that.

Let’s start with the design. At 6.7 inches tall, Marcello is no slouch. His outfit is punk-meets-anime with shredded detailing, faux fur texture, multiple belts, and enough chains to make Hot Topic cry. The figure feels high quality — that PVC/ABS mix has just the right weight, and those metal accents? Chef’s kiss. Even his collar has a chain. Because of course it does. He’s that guy.

But let me tell you: dressing this guy was an emotional experience. To get his outfit on properly, you practically have to dismantle him. Arms off. Legs off. Emotional stability off. The process was chaotic, but weirdly satisfying. Like, yes, king, be difficult. Be dramatic. You earned it with those printed pants and visible abs. And yes — he has abs. Defined, sculpted, unapologetically there. Who gave this dog a gym membership?

The real flex here though? Marcello’s presence. He doesn’t just stand on your shelf — he poses. He’s got that slouched bad-boy posture, half-lidded eyes, and hair covering just enough of his face to say, “Don’t ask me what band I’m in. You wouldn’t get it.” He’s part Doberman, part K-pop idol, part fantasy game NPC, and it weirdly works. He could be from a dystopian rhythm battle game, and I’d still believe it.

Compared to other characters in the Past in Sicily series — which include elegant golden retrievers and melancholic cats — Marcello is the wild card. The chaotic neutral. The one who probably got kicked out of the royal court for “accidentally” starting a riot at a masquerade ball. He’s giving feral prince energy with an edge. And honestly? He’s stealing the spotlight.

I genuinely love how this series doesn’t treat its figures like just toys. Each one feels like a fully fleshed-out character, and Marcello? He’s your emo ex who somehow ended up in an art gallery. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next release gives him a backstory involving forbidden love, secret band rehearsals in a cathedral basement, and an estranged twin brother who leads a rival band.

Is he worth the unboxing struggle? Absolutely. He might’ve made me question my patience and basic hand coordination, but once he’s assembled, he’s unstoppable. The texture, the detail, the fashion drama — it’s all peak designer toy energy. He looks amazing in photos, intimidating on a desk, and lowkey like he’ll judge you if your playlist is too mainstream.

Marcello might be from a mystery blind box, but he’s not hiding. He’s here to take over your aesthetic, your display case, and maybe your heart (if you’re into emotionally unavailable plastic dogs in leather).

He’s moody, muscular, and magnetic — and if this is what Throbbing Instant puts in their blind boxes, I’m terrified (and excited) to see who’s next. Marcello isn’t just a figure. He’s a vibe. And yeah... he knows it.
