Star Wars Mystery Minis?

Postby **popfanboy** » Fri Nov 13, 2015 8:06 am

I'm sure this has been asked about before and LOTS of people want these. I'm surprised their hasn't been any Star Wars minis. There could be at least 3 series of them and there are so many characters to choose from. The only down side I could see for them is that they would have to be bobble-heads. I would love a BB-8 mini and a heavy Wampa mini.

I've been wanting this set, too.

I'd like for them to start with Episode VII, mostly so it can promote the movie.

These would fly off the shelves.

Maybe presumptuous, but I think the movie will draw enough attention without even more products.

I would welcome Star Wars Mystery Minis, but I'm not sure it will happen at least not really soon - but if they do start them I think there could be many more than 3 series easily

The original Marvel MM were bobbleheads I believe so it could work but I'm sure there is some sort of licensing snafu in there somewhere...

No one would love Star Wars MM's more than me, but I'm afraid I wouldn't bother if they were bobble heads…they lack detail. If on the other had they were made along the same lines as the Horror, Sci-Fi or Walkng Dead they'd be amazing. I'm a Marvel fan, but the new DC Arkham figs look amazing, MM's are just getting better every new release.

I think a lot of people would stay away since they would have to be bobble heads.

I think I would still buy them if they were bobble heads but I would much rather them be in the style of Sci-fi & Horror. I would settle for the style of the WWE minis as well.

Bobble = NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I bought a couple of Marvel MMs without realizing they were bobbles. Hated them from the second I opened them. Bobbles just do not translate well into MMs in my opinion.

It's crazy to think they won't make a set anytime soon! It'd sell like hotcakes, bobbleheads or not.

Star Wars Mystery Minis would be awesome. I don't know the licensing constraints, but these would sell really well. Funko has other Disney Mystery minis, so I would think licensing would not be a barrier.

This would be a great line, too bad there aren't any plans.

I love the idea but dont think it will work either

At Fugitive on Friday I saw these and grabbed them. They were the only two on the shelf.

Grrrrr! I want these so bad!

I've read this sentiment before. Is it an assumption based on something? Are there licensing dictates I'm not aware of? I'm just curious. I just started collecting a couple of months ago. Thanks for any clarification.

Star Wars Mystery Minis can not be made due to licensing. Sorry guys, but it will NEVER be allowed to happen.

What licensing issue?

And wouldn't they be able to bypass it anyway by making them bobbles?

Postby **MindlessMystery** » Wed Jan 06, 2016 11:49 pm

What a bummer, I had really hoped there would be a Star Wars run for mystery minis. Anyone care to explain why the licensing conflicts with the minis? Surely it be because of size, micro machines makes star wars related toys.

Postby **Pryde72** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 2:23 am

This is a line that baffles me, why they were not (have not yet been) made.

I understand the dislike of Bobbleheads (I'm one of those people), but it would still be a "gotta have it" line.

I truly thought that with the release of Ep7, it was a certainty

that totally sucks....especially with the current "marketing gone mad", thats going on at the moment with this film

I certainly hope for Star Wars minis. Ackbar would be amazing!

So surprised by the lack of these, you would think they'd jump right on the bandwagon.

Postby **popfanboy** » Thu Dec 08, 2016 4:33 pm

FINALLY! So excited right now!

It is very exciting!! I cant wait to see the first series!!!!!

Seconded!!! So incredibly excited! Yeah it kind of stinks that they will (almost assuredly) have to be bobble head. I'm wondering about the rarity. Will these all be 1/12 like Marvel (not sure about the other Disney minis) or have rarer ones? And who will be in the first set?!

Assuming there's 12 at a rarity of 1/12 I'd like to see;

Han
Luke
Leia
Vader
Obi-Wan
Yoda
Chewbacca
C-3P0
R2-D2
Rey
Finn
BB-8

Maybe some variants for store exclusives like Kylo Ren, Anakin, Darth Maul, stormtrooper, Captain Phasma, etc.

Heck I don't even care who's in the first series, I'm getting them all!!!

Postby **BigHow** » Thu Dec 08, 2016 4:45 pm

I am beyond excited, but this is horrible news for my wallet.

Hopefully whenever they make a Wicket, he won't be too hard to find! Friggin' love me some Wicket.

Postby **HaloHawk87** » Thu Dec 08, 2016 4:48 pm

These were announced? If true, I'm both excited and terrified at the same time. lol

It will be hard to resist buying a large number of these.

Thanks. I don't know how I missed that thread.

This is great news to me but my wallet has already started crying.

Postby **Bernie** » Thu Dec 08, 2016 7:04 pm

I really hate this announcement. I just thinned out my MM collection, now it is going to get HUGE again....great...

Postby **NCDS** » Thu Dec 08, 2016 7:15 pm

Do you her that sound? That's the sound of my wallet crying because it will never see a dime again until I have them all.

Fan-freakin-tastic!

Postby **hailmary25** » Thu Dec 08, 2016 8:38 pm

I am praying for a all 1/12 or this will be very tough with 1/72 and everyone will have exclusives.

Outside of the complaints on wallet and stuff

THESE ARE GOING TO LOOK FANTASTIC!

Postby **ldfm** » Thu Dec 08, 2016 10:16 pm

Perfect timing! As long as they aren't bobbleheads...

Don't forgot we need different variants of storm troopers so we can army build lol

also what about some bounty hunters? So many possibilities! So excited
