Horror minis series 2.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 6:30 am

Man, I was completely backwards with my HT exclusive ratios. While I'm glad the Gremlin is a 1/12, I really want that Zombie Ed too...

Postby **Daemon373** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 7:10 am

I've got so many extra Ed's at this point, it's gonna be easier to just slap some paint on him and call it a zombie.

Wouldn't mind the Movie Theater Gremlin though...

Thanks everyone for posting the ratios! I'm glad the Cinema Gremlin is 1/12. He's the one I want the most.

Damn I'm goin need those ht exclusives

So I scored a Zombie Ed this afternoon. You would think I'd be excited, but I'm not because he has one leg shorter than the other and won't stand. WTF Funko? How about a little quality control on these horror minis?

Of course, Zombie Ed is 1/72. Yay!

Man, ever since the boards came back up, I've been getting nothing but bad news about things I was excited for.

Zombie Ed's MM is 1/72; the Zombie Ed Pop doesn't look right with the shovel; and the case layout for Sci-Fi 2 is balls.

Damn...

It is brutal living in Canada and watching all of you Americans get these series 2 minis!!

Am I seriously the only Canadian on these message boards just dying???

I'm gonna need the HT exclusives. Especially zombie Ed

Found a case at GS that was missing the front box and nothing else, so I took a gamble and bought the other 5. I ended up with Shaun and Ed, Hitchcock, a duplicate Werewolf, and B&W Hitchcock! Stinks that I missed the third rate figure, but I'll happily take the B&W!

Nice! I caved today and just bought a BW Hitchcock off eBay to complete my collection (including all three HT exclusives). I paid $25 shipped which seemed like a decent deal, not mention I can finally stop the hunt.

I've seen worse, that's not a terrible price.

Finally got a chance to get to the mall and grab a few. Bought the last 4 boxes and I pulled Frankenstein's Monster, The Fly, David and the Crow with guitar from Hot Topic. The Monster and The Fly were on my list, the other two not so much.

Postby **ShyGuyPal** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 8:05 pm

Yahoo! I got the Cinema Gremlin! I bought 7 boxes. Among those I got: The Crow (non HT one, sad day), Werewolf, Cthulhu (normal), Alfred, Beetlejuice, Shaun, and Cinema Gremlin
Ironically, if I was just patient enough I would have got all the ones I wanted from this purchase instead of buying them online (like I did a few days ago). Also HT is doing the BOGO 50% sale, so now's the time guys! 6 boxes cost ~$42

So what I did was asked HT to reserve 6 boxes for me (knowing that they would pick the top 6 since the bottom ones are harder to pull out). When I got there I bought another one that I thought was Ed (was Shaun derp). It looks like the pattern continues that Daemon pointed out, which is the rarer ones are on the top layer. I might have got lucky with the Cinema Gremlin, so not sure if he's also on the top or it was just a coincidence. Best of luck! I'm calling it quits on this series now, too much was spent on duplicates. I love them all, but I got to stop. Very happy with the Cinema Gremlin, great choice for an extra figure.

Congrats! B&W Hitchcock is the only one I need for the basic set. Also, congrats to those who are seeing them show up at HT, mine didn't have any today

I'm right there with ya ShyGuyPal! It's funny that at this point what I've spend on blind boxes trying to nab Pinhead, I could have just used to purchase him on the aftermarket. Still holding out for somebody to get lucky with a duplicate so I can trade off some of these doubles I've accumulated. :/

I was at London Comic Con yesterday and a couple of stalls had relatively untouched cases.

The general pattern talked about so far seems to be holding true (although annoyingly I couldn't remember them exactly at the time).

I got The Crow and American Werewolf in the first two boxes on the top level in one case and although the other case had the two middle top ones taken already (which were two of the chase ones it turned out) I did get B&W Hitchcock from the back right slot. Over the moon with the B&W Hitchcock it's a great figure.

I so need the Cinema Gremlin, I'm very glad he's 1/12.

Postby **jester00** » Sat Oct 24, 2015 3:42 pm

eBay purchase came in. So happy to have him finally. Most I've ever spent on a mini in my life, but damn was it worth it!

It's a nicely done figure! How much did you spend if you don't mind me asking? Pinhead seems to be going for cheaper than most 1/72's, which is nice. Still around the ~$55 range, but compare that to the rares for Series 1! Those prices were horrifying! :P

From an article I read about the designer of the Horror MM's, they said they really want to make an Elvira figure. My money is on her showing up in Series 3 if they get the rights and if there is a Series 3.

I paid $42. Most I would pay was $45. And I missed out on about 3 of them before I won this one. And yes he is very well done. Now I'm hunting for the proto because I would love to have a set

Nice! I have to save up now after all my spending, but if I see him for a lower price I might go for it!

Anyone have pics of the Zombie Ed figure? I haven't seen anything on eBay or online.

Ed looks good.

But why is he holding a shovel? It's just lazy.

Same thing was said about the PC exclusive. It is very lazy indeed

I might as well upload this too...

Postby **jester00** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 12:49 am

If only I could get all 3 of those. My HT didn't have any. And I'll prolly end up not finding any in a store since HT is an hour away

Nice! Thanks for posting that pic. They all look great. I want the Gremlin most, and I may just get him on eBay if I can find a decent price.

You guys need to get out of BFE. I have three HT in various malls with not one of them more than 15 minutes away.

He is definitely the best of the exclusives and the least rare to boot.

Thanks wickerjay for the pics! Yeah I like Zombie Ed with his pale skin. I guess a different pose would have helped, but as far as variants go he's pretty cool.

If they had put a video game controller in his hand, he would have been awesome.

Postby **Mr Yac** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 2:11 am

seems odd they go so drastically different on the Gremlin and totally halfass Ed. not complaining too much mind you as I love Gremlins and never did care much for Shaun...but still.

I would not not to have that. I'll gladly take my BFE living

Anyone have doubles they wanna trade or sell? I'm going to try to get the sets out of box from now on. I have so many doubles from other sets I just can't get rid of.

Postby **Daemon373** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 8:01 am

Yeah, Zombie Ed still holding the shovel when they did changes to the other 2 HT exclusives is kinda... lazy. At least drop the shovel and turn his arm over, so he's in the classic zombie pose with outstretched arms.
