2017 Mystery Minis News!!!

[sylin]

From the recent Funko Q&A:

It's nice to see confirmation of more minis, and that there'd be TONS at that!

Also, Overwatch minis are 'very likely' as well!

[RogueSolo]

Still pretty vague. But yay!

[sylin]

Still pretty vague. But yay!

I'm taking it as a sign that they're still selling well to justify many more sets which pleases me.

Agreed!

[jagpop]

This is great news. If I could only collect one line it would definitely be mystery minis.

[ShockWaveZ55]

Overwatch minis??? Yes please! They could do some of the different skins like mariachi Reaper, devil Mercy, stunt driver soldier 76, and so on. Maybe even tank mode Bastion, man I want them all already

[Quazimoto]

Great news! I love Mystery Minis. Just no more 1/6 please.

[Battastic]

If we could only get those vintage arcade minis before Christmas

[bonnjer]

I started out as Pop exclusive with my collection and didn't really like the Minis. It took a while, along with the right lines, but I'm closing in on 100 Minis now. I can't wait for the X-Men ones to come out!

[funkystark]

Rick & Morty PLEASE!

[Trixt]

Rick & Morty PLEASE!

[Sarcasticguy]

Rick & Morty PLEASE!

I kinda hope that is the last one for this year! We NEED IT!

Problem is that some reports have come in that the minis for R&M got cancelled.

Plus, Kidrobot is making their own blind box figures, and so is another minor toy company. I'm not sure if that bodes well for the Funko ones. I think they might've been canned.

[HowardTheDuck]

I will have ALL the Overwatch. Should that include minis and (god forbid) Dorbz......I'll be ready.

Until Funko officially announces/denounces, I will hold out hope!

[synergy56]

I feel like Series 2 of Supernatural is overdue. Wonder if they'll do another Game of Thrones series since I still see full cases of Series 3 in Hot Topic and other stores. Another series of Harry Potter would be great too (but without the B?&N exclusives maybe).

[JohnnyPOP]

I can't wait to see what all 2017 has in store! There are some that we all know will get made like GOTG2 and live action BATB but I wonder what surprises they've got coming.

[ldfm]

Looking forward to seeing what will be happening! Really liking Minis more and more... even thinking of getting out of the Pop! game and focusing more on these.

[FredKruger]

Resident evil minis, more wwe, sci fi 3, horror 4.

[BillyLouis]

I am hoping for Sci-Fi 3, Horror 4, Batman: Animated Series, Supernatural 2, Masters of the Universe, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Justice League,n Stranger Things, and Spider-man: Homecoming.

Oh, gosh, me too!

I'd also like: more Disney, more anime, more video game ones, maybe another comics-based Marvel set, and anything else Funko can offer.

[keyese]

I'd imagine they'll have another Disney set, maybe round two of Princess & Companions (maybe Princes & Companions). They need Aurora (with a little bird maybe) and Alice (with Dinah) at least. Maybe Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. Then they could do alternate dresses like Belle's peasant dress (with Lumiere), Arial as a human (with Sebastian), Cinderella's work dress (with Jaq), Mulan as a soldier (with the cricket), etc.

[mohawkjones]

WB Animation classics would be fun. Animaniacs, Duck Dodgers, Looney Tunes... a lot of fun fodder there.

Masters of the Universe would be epic! Can not wait for Sci-Fi 3 and to see who is in Horror 4. Hopefully Sci-Fi 3 is not too far off...

At this point, I'd like for them to just tackle a set for Princes...or maybe just Disney Heroes that can maybe include female leads/characters that are not princesses as well. I'm also desperately hoping for a Disney Afternoon/Disney TV Animation set, it's long overdue!

That'd be rad, too! Maybe also including Tiny Toons.

I'm crossing my fingers for s3 for Sci-Fi, though I noticed that s2 didn't sell as well as the Horror s3 did. I saw a lot of full cases of Sci-Fi s2, like just yesterday at Target the case has been sitting there collecting dust for months now. I've been tempted to buy some out of pity (and love since I LOVED the line-up for s2).

[JohnnyPOP]

I'd LOVE a Princes set. They could include the companions here too. It'd be nice to have some kind of matching sets somewhere.

[NightmareMermaid]

I've wanted a Looney Tunes set for a while. I'd most like Tweety, Bugs, and Marvin in that set.

I'd like a Disney Heroes/Heroines set or a Prince set or whatever gets us characters that we are currently lacking. The characters I would most like to see are Eric, Aladdin, Kida, and Phillip. I would also like to see a Disney Animals set which would have various animal characters like Marie, Toulouse, Berlioz, Lady, Tramp, Figaro, Cleo, Bambi, etc.

[Katers]

That's great news - can't wait to see what they have coming up for us in 2017! But I hope they either don't do B&N exclusives (cursing you, HP mystery minis!) or somehow require that they sell more of them than they did with past lines!

[Oblong]

For us oldtimers, I would love for them to do a Classic Cartoons series. Think Hanna Barbara, Sid & Marty Krofft, Looney Tunes...and then into live action like Land of the Lost. So many great toons/shows from the past.

Speaking of shows, how about some classic 60's/70's/80's TV shows. Don't even get me started there!

[popfanboy]

I just hope if there are any more Disney minis they don't have the current style and format. I strongly dislike the new style where they look like baby toys.

[POPtor WHO]

I’d love to get Doctor Who minis since the POPS seem to be struggling. But only if they are in the Supernatural/TWD/Sci-Fi/Horror style, I feel like they’d fit right in with those. Maybe they could squeeze some into the next Sci-Fi series to test the waters, assuming there aren’t licensing issues.

Hoping for another series of Supernatural too, so many characters left to do.

Yes, Doctor Who would be great for Sci Fi series 3. It would help give that line a boost, and it would test the waters for a DW line if Funko's interested.

On that topic, I pretty much would want a 9th Doctor Pop since he's my favorite incarnation but I've never seen him anywhere. I'm assuming he's an exclusive or hard to find.

Animals set would be great! Maybe instead of companions, they could do a Hero and a Villain as the pairing. Would love a Fox and the Hound and Lion King in addition to the ones you listed

And your Aladdin suggestion made me realize we need Abu! He would be so cute.

OT - There is a 9th Doctor exclusive (Hot Topic – with Banana) but there is a common holding his sonic. I know I saw one recently but can’t remember where. If I see him again I’ll pm you to see if you’d like me to grab one for you.

I’ve been thinking of some other licenses that would fit into a Sci-Fi series. Some are only good for a character or 2 but in addition to Doctor Who…
X-Files
Stargate: SG-1 (and spin-offs)
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (70s show = gold mine!)
Babylon 5
Spaceballs (don’t know if the “no-toys” agreement w/ Lucasfilm is still in effect)
Star Blazers/Space Battleship Yamato (Anime but would fit in Sci-Fi)
Battle of the Planets/G-Force/Gatchaman (same as above)
The Black Hole
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Lost in Space
Warehouse 13
Sanctuary
Max Headroom
Greatest American Hero
Mork & Mindy
Avatar
Metropolis
Third Rock from the Sun
Six Million Dollar Man

That’s it off the top of my head. I’m sure I’ll think of more as soon as I hit “submit”

[Heli88]

I want a full Big Trouble in Little China set, but I'd settle for Jack Burton and Lo Pan tucked into a Sci-Fi series.

[thejosh2010]

Funko is bound and determined to have me buy more MM's This is a great sign of what's still yet to come! I'm excited and anxious Thanks for sharing!!

You're welcome, pal! I hope we get more teasers today during their new Q&A, too!

[Libertyroxx]

Scifi series 3!!!

[Chernabog]

Gonna be glad to see more mystery minis, they're always cool to get!

[MadLove]

I just require more horror minis. Always more horror minis.

[BrienneTheBlue]

I'd love a Princes/Heroes set to go with the Princesses one, I made a list the other day and there seems to be enough characters with companions to fill the set.
