What was the first mini you opened?

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

Horror series 1 for me, came across those and I always liked to try when If found them. Can't remember which one was the first I opened, but kept trying for leatherface, michael myers, and captain spaulding.

First ones we opened were the Halloween ones from Reese a couple years ago that released right around NYCC. The ones in the orange mystery plastic balls.

walking dead! after opening some that I found on a shelf in walmart- marked down to $2 each I was hooked on minis. I love Reis' style and I wish they had gotten to do an updated walking dead series...its a CRIME that we never got an official walking dead Negan mini nor Alpha, for that matter.

I was not interested in mystery minis until Funko announced they would release a set for Star Wars: New Hope in 2017.

I got my first mystery minis from Hot Topic and it was Tie Fighter Pilot Hot Topic Exclusive.

The details and aesthetics of this set were phenomenal. I loved the figures' cartoony look; they were bobbleheads like the Funko Pops.

I got hooked. Then I started to collect other lines like Marvel: Infinity Wars/Endgame, IT, Stranger Things, Lords of the Ring, and Looney Tunes.

I completed all the Star Wars Mystery Minis sets. Han Solo Pilot Toys R Us exclusive from the Han Solo movie was the hardest to find because Toys R Us went out of business that year.

My first mystery mini was My Little Pony. I still enjoy looking at them to this day. The details are beautiful! :love5: Also, I am pretty sure I bought them from Toys R Us.

When my son was little he opened up TMNT blind bags like over 12 years ago. I didn’t realize it was Funko until a few years later!

Randomly a WWE one (pulled Greg the Hammer Valentine) that was included with a purchase I made at a local comic store. After that, I was hooked.

Do you remember which one?

My first were also Harry Potter, series 1! I splurged on 4 boxes at the midnight release party for Cursed Child, and got student uniform Hermione & Ron, Padfoot and Dobby. I was hooked! I didn't know they were Funko, or really even what Funko was, but I started hunting the rest of the series, and learned so much about collecting from them! Definitely the best purchase I made that night, all things considered! lol
