DC: Justice League minis

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.

Yeah, this set is all around hard. The Gamestop box has secret Batmans, sometimes taking over the exclusive spot, there's no set layout, there are 3 1/6 characters, and the weights are all really similar (as in the 1/72 Arthur weighs the same as the 1/6 Aquaman, the Atlantean Guard in GS box weighs the same as the 1/6 Batman, etc).

Today I received my regular display. The shop I buy my displays is sending them in the mailer box, so I can see which case letter it is. For me it was case F.
I bought a single mini a week ago and got Superman. So I hoped, that my display contains other rare figures. What should I say, there was a little surprise in it.
The rare figures in case F were Cyborg and Vulko. Vulkos staff was broken but it will be easily fixed. The little surprise was, that instead of a second Mera I got a third Batman! Okay, Batman is cool, but I'm also happy that he didn't took the place of a 1/12 figure.

Overall I'm glad that I got a complete League without much trouble. But 1/6 figures are really annoying and I hope this strategy will change for the better in future sets.

I agree with the 1/6 sentiment but unfortuantely it looks like Funko has been going the other way more recently. Heck, Stranger Things set has four 1/6's. ](*,)

I have this small hope, that Funko is only testing the market and will return to a more satisfying ratio for minis in the next year... but I don't think so. :(

The Stranger Things ratios are heavy. It would be reasonable, if all the kids were 1/6, so in theory two customers could get the main group (at the cost of one rare figure). But in the end, 1/6 are still a pain. :D

Totally agree. The other problem for me with that many 1/6’s is that I refuse to buy a case of these with 4 1/6’s when basically you will be paying for 4 doubles.

Apologies for the very similar nature of this quick post to the one I just did in the SW thread but I reckon I've opened 20 plus cases and not once seen an Armored Batman. Absolute shambles in my opinion :)

Armored Batman isn't in Gamestop cases, but I did find him in a Hot Topic case. I think he's in common as well.

It looks like the Gamestop case was misprinted to have the 1/36 Batman instead of the 1/6 one it actually has. I assume someone said "Oh yeah, the Batman" and they were like "oh okay".

I found The Flash to be the easiest to identify as it is so much lighter than all the rest :)

Sorry :( There are some posts earlier in the thread but this one is so long so it probably got buried. Hope it helps for now! Check Barnes and Nobles, Hot Topics, BAM, and Toys R Us for cases there.

Ah yeah, that sounds like it complicates matters a bit. It also doesn't help that if you have a scale/do weights, his weight is super similar to other figures from what I remember.

Best of luck! Maybe you can find someone to trade with for a Gamestop exclusive.

The ratio on the mystery minis are so awful, I have to believe someone at funko has heard the concerns. There really needs to be a more respectful way for funko fans to get the characters they want without having to buy multiple cases.

Apparently he got cut out when they did reshoots, and are going to feature him more in the standalone Aquaman movie.

I love Mera and her scene was cool but why on earth would her ratio be higher per case than any of the actual

Prolly so that people who want to buy only one or two minis and get a female character won't be disappointed. Plus, I'd rather have 1/6 Mera instead of 1/6 Batman. That guy even had his own Mystery Minis series!!!

Yeah, I'm disappointed that the original BvS set didn't have a Lois (like it had Aquaman ffs and he wasn't in it more than a glimpse!) so I can see why they wanted to balance out with some more female characters. Also, I think there were some cuts/reshoots that pulled Aquaman content out (like the Atlantean guard guy is a rare and he was only in it for 2 seconds). They figured they'll show more of that in Aquaman's stand alone film.

These are $1.50 each this weekend at GameStop. I picked up a couple just for fun to see what I'd get. Out of 9, I got 3 Aquamans, 3 Meras, and 2 Crouching Batmans. lol (The last one was Civilian Barry Allen.)
