Has anyone seen the ratios? Watched the unboxing video but can't see!!

Watched the glam video this morning, hyped!

Anyone seen one in the wild yet? The unboxing video by Funko says they are "out now" but trickling in.

Found some...got a full box, below is my haul. No surprises here, two each of the commons...it was really nice to get the 1/72 Dengar...my goal is to get all bounty hunter's, so, was really hoping for Boba & IG-88, but, didn't expect them in the same carton. The characters are really cool, can't wait to get more, but, given what I got here, I will probably just ebay the rest to avoid spending hundreds of bucks on more commons.

Thanks for sharing! Can i ask where you got them please? We can't even preorder over here yet, I hope it won't be a huge delay like LOTR...

Not surprised by the ratios but disappointed that there's an exclusive 1/72 unlike the HP3 ratios...

This might have to be a 2 case job and dupes be damned!

I got them at a local comic shop (Amazing Heroes, Kirkland, Washington)...for some reason, they tend to get things a little faster than your corporate stores. They also had a Last Jedi Pops Caretaker and C'ai Threnalli which I didn't even know were coming out.

Those are all awesome! I want this entire set, so that'll be a pain, but I enjoy hunting SW minis the most. Looking forward to these hitting stores and the exclusive ones as well.

Postby **RobinBear177** » Sat Jun 30, 2018 7:26 pm

I just want Boba Fett

Postby **FredKruger** » Sun Jul 01, 2018 11:46 pm

Well, was going to get this set, but will pass with the 1/6 ratios. Loving the character designs though. Good luck to all, and hope these aren't too much of a pain.

Don't all of the mystery mini lines have 1/6 commons?

Postby **jinxykat** » Mon Jul 02, 2018 5:50 pm

I need that Wampa! Glad it's not 1/72

No, only some of the new ones. Also, this one has eight 1/6 commons, two 1/12, a 1/24 per box, essentially one good box per case with a rare figure. I put up with dupes on other series, but this is getting ridiculous. Especially with 1/72 store exclusives, costs a ton to even try to get a full set, and likely fail. Would really prefer 1/12 figs, with rares, and a dependable case layout.

Good luck to all who are going thru the pain for this set. Minis are getting tough to collect with the dupe fest.

Yeah, you are right...I looked at some of the others, this one is definately geared more towards commons and making it harder to collect all the 1/72. Funko isn't dumb, they know people love the whole set of bounty hunters and will make you pay for it. I'm going to end up forking over cash on ebay for these to avoid getting a bunch of commons that I end up donating to friends.
This image of the first SW line shows many more 1/12 & 1/24 odds.

Ok, one complaint on the new Chewbacca mini for the Empire series (3rd from the right). It is the same body from the original Star Wars mini (4th from right) and the head from the Walmart exclusive mini from the same series (far left). Nothing new here and that's lame - should be a new mold.

I was thinking a similar thing the other day that as a huge Chewbacca fan, I wish that they'd not do the same old thing with him for this series, ESPECIALLY when it's a 1/6!

Postby **RBlue30** » Wed Jul 04, 2018 6:57 pm

Thanks for sharing! So it looks like the ratios on the box are correct for the series? Hopefully it won’t be too hard to find boba fett!

Postby **digithor** » Thu Jul 05, 2018 1:17 pm

I like that chewbacca collection you have started xbox_jeff.

Postby **Jason1224** » Fri Jul 06, 2018 2:28 pm

I was really surprised to find these at thinkgeek today, they had just gotten them in. Pulled the Wampa and the Leia exclusive plus all the expected commons. Really not looking forward to all the dupes I’m gonna end up with for this set.

Postby **synergy56** » Mon Jul 09, 2018 5:09 pm

I think I'm only going to go for the Leias, Hans and Yoda for this set, so hopefully it won't be too painful. Wasn't initially planning on the Yoda, but he's just too darned cute!!

Postby **Valde** » Mon Jul 09, 2018 5:41 pm

Boba and Wampa look awesome in real life. They’re doing it again with the 1/6 ratio. Poor Star Wars people

Postby **AnyGivenFunko** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 12:02 am

Scored a IG-88 today. So happy for now. lol

1/6 ratios is gonna be the death of me.

Postby **FunkoMimi** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 12:33 am

Have they announced an official release date for these?

Check your stores, because they seem to be hitting now

Postby **bug86** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 11:06 am

Man those 1/6 are going to kill me. Can't wait to start seeing them here.

Postby **HockeyDad** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 12:00 pm

I've heard they've been hitting GameStop. Has anyone found them on GameStop's website? If so, what's the description?

Postby **franzsy0519** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 12:05 pm

Helped out a retailer friend of ours with an unboxing video, here's some info which may help. We opened 3 regular cases, no weights though.

Case A - Fett (BBR), Lando (BBL)
Case B - Dengar, Leia
Case D - Wampa, Leia

Hope this helps!

Opened up a few cases from GameStop ... none had the boxes for me to check letters ... but here's what was in them:
1. 4Lom and Leia
2. IG88 and Lando
3. Wampa and Lando

Positions were all mixed up within each case, but in each case, either the entire top or entire bottom was all 1:6s.

Happy Hunting!

I scored a Leia and AT-AT driver in one box

These look awesome! I’ve been trying to hold off on grabbing these until after SDCC, but not sure if I’m going to be able to hold out.

Postby **MyFriendKevin** » Wed Jul 11, 2018 4:49 am

Praying to the Mystery Minis Gods that I can stumble across those Bounty Hunter exclusives! I love the way MM are starting to look but its not good for the bank account.

Leia is 1/24

4-LOM is 1/72

They bodies and heads looks slightly different, but not enough. At least put some snow on his head to make it like the Pop.

I found a half empty case today at gamestop that had the AT-AT driver and Lando. Guess who ever got the other half got all the 1/6s.

Great idea to do to one of the many duplicates. Might even try to flock him

Thanks. I Actually only grab three from the case, because I figured they'd all be 1/6s since it had been picked through already. Trying to avoid another lord of the rings situation where I ended up with 11 Frodos. ](*,)
