I.E.... the Pacman box actually has Pacman etc.

I believe that was confirmed at Toy Fair.

Oh ok, I guess i missed that. That's good/bad news... i'm sure there will be TONS of cases with the least popular boxes just left behind....

Unfortunately this will probably be the case. But if routine follows the least popular boxes will be the ones I want most!

Galaga was in the promo glam shots, and they showed a completed mini....but its not in the case. Exclusive, do you think, or something that got dropped?

Yep, this is what I was afraid of.

There's no crappier feeling than finding a case or shelf full of only one sort of toy in an aisle. One of the things I like about blind boxes is that, unless tampered with, they give you a fairer shot at getting certain figures.

Thanks for the pics ... especially like the Centipede ... what memories! =D>

Love the little arcade cabinet boxes! My case arrived today, stoked to check them out when I get home.

Now if we just knew if Galaga is a store exclusive or just scrapped...

Loved the blog, loved the pics even more. Great job. And these are beautiful minis. Have to get some this weekend if I can find them. Anyone seen them hit shelves yet?

Here is the case layout that I got to help those hunting certain pieces:

Hope that helps...

Nice! I want that little megaman haha

I got a mega man box yesterday haven't opened yet though, will do in a bit!

Postby **Turtledoc** » Sun Mar 05, 2017 10:23 pm

Found these at BAM this weekend. Picked up Frogger and the Dragon. They are super cute but HUGE.

Postby **Battastic** » Mon Mar 06, 2017 9:46 am

Sadly my pre-order got delayed and was not here when I made it back to the states.
It is suppose to arrive this week. I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!

Postby **CaseyJones14** » Mon Mar 06, 2017 9:56 am

Loving all the pictures! I really need to get out and go snag the Mega Man.

Postby **Funko_Bandido** » Mon Mar 06, 2017 10:12 am

Cant wait for these...definitely adding them to my collection

Postby **forthnback** » Mon Mar 06, 2017 4:54 pm

What about Galaga?

MIA. No longer on the main assortment. Retailer exclusive maybe? I have not heard of anyone asking at Toy Fair what happened to that one.

Postby **Cosmic_Cow** » Mon Mar 06, 2017 7:42 pm

Speaking of exclusives... How long until they announce retailer exclusives (if any)? This seems like it would be a shoo-in for a Gamestop exclusive.

Dang, was quite excited about this one. I'm still hopeful, because they actually made and painted one for the glam shot. They couldn't do that without a license, even without the intent to sell to the public. I'm pretty confident we'll get some exclusives.

Haven't seen these in stores yet. Going to only go for the Dig Dug ones instead of buying them all like I had originally planned.

Postby **Battastic** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 4:21 pm

A lot of my pre-orders arrived today, either by mail or at the store. One of these was the Retro Game mini case!
These are absolutely amazing!!!! I will load some pics tomorrow for everyone to see.
These are huge....well, as minis come lol

I seriously hope Funko makes another wave of these.

Postby **JohnnyPOP** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 6:03 pm

I was a little on the fence about these but... I think I'm definitely gonna have to at least get Frogger and Megaman lol

Especially Frogger with his little briefcase!

Postby **Battastic** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 7:21 am

So the layout listed above is different from the case I received yesterday. That being said, a layout is not really needed at all. Every display box matches the character inside. Mega Man will be in the Mega man game cabinet, Frogger in the Frogger game cabinet. However the games that have multiple characters will need a layout if you only want one certain character.

Something I did not notice before....the character choices for each game are based on the artwork on the side of the game cabinet. The DigDug cabinet shows the hero, the dragon, and the bomb guy....those were the characters that were made. The Pac-Man cabinet shows Pac-man & a ghost, the Ms. Pac-man cabinet shows Ms. Pac-man and a ghost....those were the characters that were made. Even down to some of the sculpt choices...the Centipede cabinet shows the centipede wrapping around the mushrooms and the sculpt is of the Centipede in the same wrapped position.
Funko really killed it on this set! The little details for these are simply amazing!! I cannot say it enough....we need another wave.

Sorry...I forgot the pictures lol

Top row on the left, Bottom row on the right
And a size comparison pic. I just cannot get over the size of these minis!

Postby **CAHRULL** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:34 am

Man these turned out great. Thanks for sharing the pics and box layouts guys

Postby **FearlessPhotog** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 9:41 am

I need that Mega Man!

Postby **JohnnyPOP** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:07 am

Yes, I definitely need to find some of these. lol

They look great!

Postby **Mister Piggy Wiggy** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 10:59 am

Oh, my, I should keep an eye out for the retro set!

Postby **HowardTheDuck** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 1:04 pm

I seriously think if I find a Pac-Man box I won't resist.

Postby **groundhog7s** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 4:10 pm

Just got my case in the mail and can't express enough just how cool these are. I've been putting together a retro game shelf recently and these fit in perfectly.

Still hoping for some word on exclusives.

Postby **Geescube** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 4:14 pm

Picked up my megaman at con. So cute and perfect.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Wed Mar 08, 2017 5:11 pm

No word on finding these at Hot Topic yet, correct?

Correct
I actually haven't seen these anywhere in the wild yet.
I am also curious about the Galaga ship from the initial reveal. Not in the regular case and no word on any exclusives.

That is interesting that the layout's are different. I wonder if since they are matching character to boxes and giving us a huge head start on whats inside that maybe they are randomizing the mix to avoid folks cherry picking all the Pac-man/Mrs. Pac-Mans...

Not real sure, but you can't get a Pac without a Ghost ;-)

Just a heads up to any fellow Funatics with a Books A Million in their area, i found a fresh untouched case at one of their better locations locally. So keep your eyes peeled there if you have. one

Postby **groundhog7s** » Sat Mar 11, 2017 6:37 pm

Need to get a second one of these displays, but thought this could be adjusted to display the Retro Arcade series (I've been using it for 8-bit World of Nintendo figures so far).
