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.

DC: Justice League minis

Postby RogueSolo » Tue Jul 25, 2017 1:12 pm

So yeah, these are a thing. Showing up at GameStops with a street date of August 1st. Two 1/6 figures, two 1/72 figures, and three GS exclusives so far.

Can confirm. Was at a GameStop and saw them being opened out of a box. Street date is August 1st. Not allowed to take pictures.

From memory I saw...
Mera/Redhead/Aquaman Squeeze at 1/6
Superman at 1/24 (really awesome looking)
Bruce Wayne in Trenchcoat at 1/36 (GS exclusive)
The Flash at 1/12 (GS exclusive)
Some Atlantis looking warrior with facial hair 1/36 or 72 (GS exclusive)
Wonder Woman, Batman, and Cyborg at 1/12

Right?? First the plush show up, then Dorbz, now minis??? I'm sure they'll be made official when they announce the pop exclusives.

These look good. I'm not crazy about the eyes on WW and Mera, but they are still the top 2 I would want. It's good to see they are relatively easy to get.

1/6 is NEVER awesome news, no matter how much you may want a figure. it's a scummy, money grubbing policy designed only to screw over collectors. and having 2 1/6 in one set? wow talk about crappy ratios.

I don't think it's designed to screw over collectors (though that may be a side effect). I think the 1/6 are designed to pull in casual collectors, give them more of a chance to get a wanted item. The Villains and Pets series had Maleficent as a 1/6. Ones like that would make some people more likely to drop a few bucks and get one they want.

I can't tell who that 1/36 figure is on the bottom row. Anyone know?

And also, the ratios are jacked. 1/6 figures have no reason to exist. I'll buy these when they are in the clearance bin. LOL

Great looking (and very tempting) set, but after Spiderman, I'm really hating the 1/6 1/72 BS. Not sure what I'll do, but I think I may have to pass on a case that will have 2 Mera and 2 Aquaman. Not to mention putting Flash as an exclusive, and no(?) chance for Supes and Cyborg in the same case. And Batman at 1 in three cases!?!

FFS, Funko! I'm more than happy to buy a complete case when the set can be nearly completed (minus exclusives, of course), but I find it ridiculous that the main team can't be completed easily.
I bought a Mystery Mini and thought it was cool. Now I have shelves covered in Funko vinyl products. What Happened?

Yeah, 1/6 has burned me out and will keep me from this line.

Just ordered 12 Sister Location MMs from Hot Topic. It seems they probably dump everything in a bin for fulfillment, as I received 5 Nightmare Foxy and 2 Nightmare Freddy (the two 1/6). It's a horrible practice and I won't get this line for the same reason.

I was excited to stumble on a full case of these in GS since there wasn't an announcement I saw anywhere... then quickly soured on getting any after seeing the ratios. Lame that you aren't even guaranteed half the team in one case.

I've enjoyed collecting MMs for over a year now, but I have to admit that recent changes to the ratios have caused me to consider giving up the MM line altogether. It can be a real headache getting what you want when they range from 1/6 to 1/72. I agree it's a horrible practice. I miss the days when everything in a set was 1/12.

Well. These are great! The ratios? Not.

Damn ](*,)

While I can understand the change and drift away from 1/12, as it makes it more of a mystery and more of a challenge to get what you're​ after (read: more of a money grab), I can't help but be disappointed.

I bought a full case of both Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad minis, and chased the exclusives for BvS. A satisfying hunt, and satisfying results.

But since the ratio change, I haven't touched the Spider-Man set, one of my favorite characters. I refuse to waste time and even more money.

I would have loved to get all the Justice League minis, too. But Flash as an exclusive? 1/24 or 1/36 for the main team? Aquaman and Mera as 1/6? Are you kidding? What a joke.

I'll bust my butt to get Barry and The Flash, but probably won't touch the rest. It's not worth it. You have enough of my time and money, Funko.

If they want to do "chase" ratios, then my opinion is: Each case should have (10) 1/12 figures. Then use the other 2 spots for (2) 1/24 and (3) 1/36 figures. That still provides that chase that a few people enjoy, but doesn't leave you with a bunch of duped 1/6 figures while you chase. Every case still has 2 rare(er) figures in it, and it still gives room for store exclusives.

But that's just my opinion. If the Disney Afternoon, Kingdom Hearts and DCTV boxes are the same, my collection might not grow as fast as I thought it would this Fall.

They look pretty good, maybe a slight design change from the last two DCU sets. Would like to see some actual glams or figures themselves.

So stoked for this movie!

I'm not crazy about them going back to the 1/72. What's the deal with the changing ratios from year to year and set to set?

I do love them all, I presume there will be a non exclusive Flash too.

Well, this is the first Mera anything ever, so it's obvious Funko is making it easy to obtain her for that reason alone.

there are LOTS of first characters ever that get made that are a hell of a lot more popular than Mera and aren't 1/6 figures. I think you are vastly overestimating her popularity, heck I'm willing to wager the majority of folks haven't got a darn clue who she even is.

Anything 1/6 is absurd. I honestly have no issues with 1/72s though.

There should definitely be 8-10x 1/12s, 4x 1/24, 4x 1/36 and 2x 1/72. That would mean series of 18-20 characters which seems to be the standard set counts anyways. Right here you have GameStop with 13 + the standard 3 the exclusives are replacing + the 3-4 exclusives Walmart will probably get based on the way Funko handled the Batman v Superman set.

For real though 2x 1/6 in this set is why I won't bother with this series - and one of the reasons I haven't with the Spiderman (although that is more based on 1/6s + 1/8s and the inability to ever find anything worthwhile at Target and/or Walmart)

Well, the easy way to deal with 1/6 figures is to make those the swap-outs when retailers get Exclusives. I'm surprised the GameStop set still has Mera (though maybe Mera will be 1/12 at GameStop rather than actually 1/6).

Either way, I'm only interested in Wonder Woman and Mera. I don't really collect male characters.

It would be nice if Funko would announce of the rest of the JL merchandise. I want to see what the common case looks like and if any other stores have exclusives.

Come on, Funkno. The street date is tomorrow. :-"
