Horror minis series 2.

Postby **Oblong** » Tue Oct 06, 2015 2:20 pm

Wow, if that box is correct (and I am sure it is) then all the best figures IMHO are going to be the most difficult to obtain. Oh the horror!

Pinhead or B/W Hitchcock? I was thinking B/W Hitchcock would be 1:72. I was comparing it to the likes of Headless Hershel and Demon Abaddon both being 1:72. However, Pinhead being 1:72 really bums me out. He's one of my most wanted.

I hope that awesome Movie Gremlin is not 1:72! Although it does seem like the most desirable ones, like Rosita and Gym Teacher Dean, are the 1:72's.

I hope it isn't either, but I could very well see it being so.

I most wanted pinhead. More than any of the other minis in the set

I just saw a Crow and BW Hitchcock with boxes post on eBay so are these officially released?

After looking at the line-up again, I forgot to include Zombie Ed.

Wow those ratios are highly disappointing. Every single one I want is a 1/72, 1/36 or 1/24. I mean, I like Frankenstein and Creature, but I /wanted/ Pinhead, American Werewolf and Nosferatu. Here's hoping my entertainment earth case on preorder is a lucky one...

Postby **jester00** » Tue Oct 06, 2015 9:16 pm

I officially died inside when I saw pinhead is 1/72. Should have bought the damn proto off Gemini. Would have been cheaper

Postby **FunkoLuver89** » Tue Oct 06, 2015 9:22 pm

I'm gonna guess Zombie Ed 1:12, Movie Gremlin 1:36, Crow with guitar 1:72.. Just my guess

Postby **ShyGuyPal** » Tue Oct 06, 2015 10:19 pm

Huh, that's an interesting distribution. I would have thought Stripe would be the 1:72, not Pinhead. Oh well, Pinhead imo has the best sculpt and paint job, so I guess that makes sense. All the ones I really want are 1:24, so I guess I'll be getting two boxes after all!

Wait, where did you see Zombie Ed at? That makes a lot of sense though!

It's just a guess, but could be something they just need to repaint the figure for instead of offering a new sculpt.

I am in the same boat as you ShyGuyPal. Just ordered 2 boxes from Entertainment Earth. I am wondering though, getting 2 boxes still won't guarantee I get a full range of the 1/24 characters, right? I could even get 2 of the exact same boxes I suppose. Hope that doesn't happen but if so then I guess I should have good swapping material to get the ones I miss.

Postby **missauru** » Wed Oct 07, 2015 1:16 pm

Why did pinhead have to be the 1/72. Forever sad.

Postby **ZartansBro** » Wed Oct 07, 2015 3:50 pm

Pinhead at 1/72 is heartbreaking. I foresee him being the next Mars Attacks Alien for me.

Postby **BillyLouis** » Wed Oct 07, 2015 10:12 pm

I am happy the ones I am interested are 1/12's. Well, except for Cthulhu, but 1/24 isn't to bad.

Right, there's just a really high possibility. Another thing I forgot to mention to you Oblong in the other thread was how the case layouts work. Assuming they follow the same pattern as the Science Fiction series, a full case will be:
Guaranteed all the 1/12 figures
3 more figures from the other rarities (1:24, 1:24, and 1:36 for example)

Getting two different cases will nearly guarantee you most, if not all the 1:24's. Whatever 1:24's you don't get will be replaced by either a 1:36 or 1:72. I hope that makes sense? That's assuming they follow the way the Science Fiction ones worked, and oh man did I spend a long time figuring that out while hunting for the Martian...

Either way, all the commons are neat so I don't mind getting extras of those. I can just give them away to friends or save them for trading material.

Postby **XXDCXBATMAN** » Wed Oct 07, 2015 11:11 pm

Each case comes with all 9 of the 1/12s, 2 1/24s, and either a 1/26 or 1/72, that's how it works with every case. (excluding the old ones where there were 24 to a case of course, but same concept).

Oh! Thanks for that! That makes me a bit happier considering the odds for 1:36 and 1:72. Man, but still all the 1:24 are my high wants from this series so I hope I get lucky.

I don't know if this is the right thread to ask, but does anyone have a spare Jason from Series 1? I'd be willing to buy or trade for him.

Postby **wickerjay** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 12:33 pm

Has anyone seen these in a retail store or is just that one guy on eBay? I messaged him, and he said that he got his at GameStop, but my local one didn't have any. I really want to know when Hot Topic gets them in so I can try to get those exclusives first.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 12:47 pm

Have not seen them in store yet. I've been stopping in to HT every couple of days pestering them about these as well.

Postby **wickerjay** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 1:15 pm

I want to call again myself but don't want to seem like a lunatic. You would think that they could at least confirm shipment and estimate an arrival date.

Postby **Oblong** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 4:26 pm

To the collector who nabbed the Chuthulu gitd proto, someone just posted one on ebay (not a proto, just the regular run figure) and is asking about as much as the proto cost. Nice buy on your behalf!

It appears that both the Horror series 2 and WWE MM's are now out an about. I've ordered cases but it is going to be tempting not to buy a couple boxes if I see them!

Curious, are all the boxes packed the same? So if say Beetlejuice is in the front lower right position that he will ALWAYS be in that position providing the case hasn't been disturbed?

Postby **RogueSolo** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 5:16 pm

No, there are usually several case layouts(A, B, C...), meaning they're in different configurations.

And you can find out exactly which one you have if you have the cardboard box (not display case) they came in. It will state Assortment A, B, C, or whatever on the side of the box.

Hey guys, decided to stop by my local GameStop on the way home from work and they had just set out a box of horror series 2 and a box of NBC. I bought the whole box of horrors!

I may open this later tonight. Being new here, is it ok for me to post the box layout to help others or is that looked down upon?

How much was the case?

I'd love to see the layout. You didn't get to see the original box though did you?

With tax is was $80 (my son works there so he gets a discount). I got the display box but not the shipping box. I will start cracking tonight after I get home so it will be later tonight before I can post the layout. Excited! $\:D/$

I'm excited for you. I wish that case was cheaper though. Even with your son's discount, it sounds kind of pricey.

If by some lottery odds you pull two pinheads. I'd gladly take one off your hands!

I never buy these and I got the GITD Cthulhu today.

Does anyone know when a case from entertainment earth will ship?

Postby **ShyGuyPal** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 9:28 pm

Nice! Glad these are showing up and people are getting them! I'd love to see photos of people's figures!

Also, I'd love to know what figures people are getting. I already see some popping up on eBay. I've seen Pinhead, Count Orlok, and B/W Hitchcock. People are going right for the rare ones during the hype, smart of them. Not so good for us though.

I have mine pre-ordered from BBTS.com but they still haven't charged me yet (or shipped it out). If I see a full case in stores, I'll have to cancel my pre-order.

Postby **Pobble** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 9:43 pm

Had hoped to find a case while I was out hunting today, but, no luck. Congrats to those who are seeing them show up in stores!

Congrats on your horror purchase. Good luck! I hope you get some good ones.

Please post your case layout if you can. I have found the layouts posted by others here to be very helpful.

Postby **Oblong** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 7:49 am

I started opening my box this morning and had something crazy happen.

So I open the front left top layer and there is The Crow (1/36).
Then I open the front right top layer and there is The Fly (1/24).

Knowing there are 9 figures that are 1/12 that would only leave me with 1 more of the rarer figures in the entire box. So I started shaking them and the back right top layer seemed heavy, like a Hitchcock or Cthulhu and sure enough it was Cthulhu (1/24).

Sorry again for the pic, will update when I fix my camera.

Now I know with 9 boxes left that all are commons and I have 2 more full boxes on order from EE. I may just return the rest of them...but I want to see the others too. And who knows maybe this entire box is nothing but rare figures, does that ever happen? Hope that at least helps others in their picking.

All told, these figures are absolutely gorgeous. Right along with Horror 1, this continues to be my favorite MM series. The detailing is amazing, Eric Draven (The Crow) even has black nail polish on his fingers.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 7:54 am

When you say box, do you mean a [display] case of 12 blind-boxes?? The terminology can get confusing lol

And wishful thinking, but no, everything else you open from that case should be a 1/12 rarity - you just happened to pull all three rares first.

Postby **ckmoak** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 9:10 pm

I have an extra 1/12 Shaun, 1/12 Color Hitchcock, and 1/36 GITD Cthulhu.

I still need The Fly, Nosferatu, and especially Pinhead.

Anybody trading yet?

Postby **TheLastDude** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 9:17 pm

Picked up seven boxes today at Gamestop. I pulled Shaun and Ed (yay! The two I wanted most of all), Cthulhu, Beetlejuice, Eric Draven, Frankenstein's Monster, and Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Just excellent figures. I might still pick up Hitchcock, Nosferatu, and Edward Scissorhands loose...but I have all the ones I wanted the most now!
