I'm hoping so too

For all I know all the Cereal Monsters are going to be 1/72 lol

But getting something rare would be nice to show off

These are great, really happy funko made these for us.

Damn, now I had to pre-order a box of the "specialty series" pieces.

Postby **PopPChulo** » Wed May 15, 2019 12:38 am

Because these ones are showing as specialty series - i wonder if there are any others that have diff minis - like a regular ad icon case.

Aw man that’s not good news... but thanks for sharing! I hope I can still order a case once we see the ratios... if he’s a 1/72 that would be a pain

Yeah really hope it’s no worse than a 1/24 if that’s the case for the specialty series metallic JGG. Anything more and it just becomes a pain to track down

I think multiple waves is a forgone conclusion. In the mean time I can sneak my Tony and Toucan pocket pop from the Funko Shop into the display. Maybe no one will notice :-$

So the difference between a common case and a specialty case is a metallic green giant? 1 mini? What are the other 2 exclusives I wonder?

It is odd that it's just that one mini! Usually they are all announced in the blog post though. So it will be interesting to see what the ratios are like.

They could just be putting that disclaimer because they don't know the ratios yet. Really hoping he's a 1/12! Because I agree - 1/72 Specialty Series are no fun (see: Ghostbusters).

oh i didn't think of that! yea i hope he's a 1/12. i gave up trying to find the specialty series sailor moon minis. It was hard enough to find them at a store and then they were always picked over

Postby **Popfanatics** » Wed May 15, 2019 6:56 pm

I need to see these in person...i have a feeling they’ll look much better than the the glams! :freddy2:

Right?! Sometimes mystery minis are the cutest but biggest pain to complete, especially with specialty series...it won’t stop me of course but still #-o

My brain wants to preorder a second case but my wallet is calling me a damn fool and wont open up lol

Postby **Esko5150** » Wed May 15, 2019 10:33 pm

Any word on if Tony & Toucan might be store exclusives? Weird that 2 of the most popular pops werent made into minis aswell?

Nope, what’s listed is what we get. I’d guess we see them in series 2

I just ordered any which one from walmart and had it in store pickup. Theyre called “digital pocket scale” or “weight”. That sucker helped me alot with my Infinity war set and also the 2nd rick and morty set.

I pre-ordered a specialty series case too. Thinking of getting a normal case too... Man they are so cool looking! Hope we get Tony the Tiger and Pillsbury Dough Boy in a hopeful Series 2!

For some reason I can't wrap my head around the counts. I'm probably way off base, but a set of 16 seems odd. You've got the 1 SS exclusive. That leaves 15 others. Usually stuff with exclusives is 9 shared commons with 3 retailer exclusives no? If that's the case then 9 of these are common plus two retail exclusive sets of 3 plus the SS single exclusive. I'm open to any other theories here, but I just am a bit confused as to which if any are exclusives and where they'll be. Further, it seems odd that Funko separated some of these out on their blog, but maybe that's just due to licensing.

I was going to pre order a case but i kinda wanna see the ratios first

Oopsie. I preordered 2 cases. Anyone else with me?

I'm waiting to see how bad the ratios are. But I probably will too, since they seem popular enough I could probably trade away the dupes to people who don't want to mess with blind boxes

That's what I am hoping for! I will try to get a full set unless we have a bunch of 1/36 and 1/72. I dont want to drop a fortune on those haha

Postby **Esko5150** » Thu May 16, 2019 11:38 am

Anyone else think it would've been funny to have some Ralphs or Albertsons Market exclusives for this set lol

. All the mini hunters would be storming the cereal aisles for these.

Seems odd that there is only 1 exclusive in the SS case. Has that happened before? Seems there’s always 3 exclusives.

I think this might be a release for Series 2. If it is a store exclusive I hope its not target lol

You already know Target is going to get some exclusives and of course Walmart probably too.

The worst stores to find any exclusives now a days.

The glams look amazing but I must say no.

Postby **Yonsei13** » Thu May 16, 2019 12:42 pm

These look so great. I'll definitely be grabbing some for my desk

Those really are the worst two these days for exclusive minis. I hardly even check WM any more for minis, it’s usually a waste of time

I preordered a box from ToyWiz - mostly want the Kool-Aid Man and Mr. Owl.
