ugh... I REALLY hate blind box, it is the reason I vary rarely buy vinylmation from Disney, there is usually only 2-3 per set that I like, and I don't buy blindly if there is only 2-3 that I''d want of a 12 figure set

Will they have chase pieces like Kidrobot? It makes it fun but annoying at the same time.

Seems a few of Funkos recent projects are late... Pocket Gods, Angry Birds, Invader Zim, 300, PvZ... these have all passed their prime by a long shot.

Love blind boxes, but no idea what this game is. 2.5 inch? Most blind boxes are 3 inches.

looking at the pictures... i honestly can't tell.

either way, the blind boxes won't impact me, since i'm only collecting the standard (medium?) sized pops. but the concept art could honestly go either way. i can see them being pops, i can also see them being something totally different.

I would love to see mini Pops in blind boxes with chase pieces, like how Kidrobot does it with their dunny series except without the layout for 2012 Dunny.

P.S.-for those who don't know about case layout, I did some research on case layout for 2012 Dunny...I learned where the chase pieces were. I bought 3 blind boxes and pulled 3 chase pieces. they were 1/40, 1/60, & 1/80.

I'll be passing on these because I'm not a huge fan of this game. I would really love to start hearing more about the new Marvel Series, and hopefully more DC!!! Those would get my blood pumping above most anything new they could throw at us!

No interest in these. I don't even think I'd be interested if they were mini Pops. Besides... I don't need another addiction.

Pretty cool, but like some of you, I'm not familiar with the game. Just good to know Funko is on the move :)

Agreed. In fact, when I saw the title of this thread was 'BLIND BOX' I thought we were getting a Daredevil exclusive.

Is a blind box similar to a blind date with a woman?

Yes, it was a joke. I am big fan of Kidrobot and their blind boxes.

Ya see, a vagina is sometimes called a "box" and a blind date would mean you are getting a blind box...never mind. :)

Some people enjoy the whole "blind box" thing and get a real kick out of seeing what they get. I am not one of them, so I will pass on the whole phenomenon.
