Nightmare Before Christmas mystery minis series 2

Postby **treswright** » Wed May 27, 2015 2:23 pm

My apologies if this has been posted already, I looked around and couldn't find a thread on it though. Below is page 31 of the 2015 Funko catalog showing the upcoming series 2, presumably it will be released sometime this year since it's in their current catalog. I'm still a fledging collector, but the NBC series is what got me started collecting. My girlfriend showed me a couple of the NBC mystery minis she had found at a local TRU and she wanted more but couldn't find them, being the diligent boyfriend I started looking all over town for them without luck, started doing online research and ended up here :-)

Through these postings I found out about Hot Topic and ordered a case of them through their site. Anyway, looking forward to the 2nd series, looks like there are some great poses! Shame there's not another Zero since the series 1 Zero is so rare, but the vampire is a sweet addition!

Thanks for this! I hadn't seen them before. Been wanting to pick up the first set for awhile now, guess now I'll finally have to do it.
Series 2 looks excellent!

Thanks SOOOOO much for posting since I hadn't seen it. I'm sad there isn't a Zero but the collection does look great. I can't wait to collect them ALL.

hopefully I can get my hands on the clown and the harlequin

I'm a huge fan of NBC, too, but I do hope Series 2 looks a little less cheap than Series 1. After the detail on more recent sets, 24 boxes of Series 1 NBC was rather a let down - especially since I did not get Zero or doctor.

Any idea of when these come out?

Postby **Stragon** » Sun Sep 06, 2015 12:44 am

Hoping these come out soon.

These are coming in October. They have a 1 in 12 rarity. I like the final lineup better. I'm glad they finally did Santa Claus.

Postby **BigM** » Thu Sep 10, 2015 12:16 pm

These are done very nice. I'm happy they're doing more characters per series vs 3 variants of a certain character. Plus the sculpts are much better.

Keep up the good work, Funko!

October is killing me with all the awesome things happening! For the sake of our wallets, Spread out the love Funko lol

Set looks AMAZING

Postby **Gray** » Thu Sep 10, 2015 1:19 pm

Without a doubt buying the entire case. What a major difference from the first series. These look amazing. So excited.

Sweet! Thanks Marie, I added those pics to the top post :-)

Very happy about the 1:12 distribution too, no chasing down elusive pieces!

Postby **Poncho Pete** » Thu Sep 10, 2015 2:02 pm

These look very well done!

Postby **funkystark** » Thu Sep 10, 2015 2:49 pm

Wow these are fantastic, Santa, Halloween Town Jack.. Candy corn monster dude

Postby **APOPCALYPSE** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 11:12 pm

These are awesome! I like that they are 1/12 :-)

Maybe some of the others from the concept art will be Hot Topic Exclusives? I really liked the way Nightcap Jack looked :-)

Postby **dolphinax2** » Mon Sep 14, 2015 11:19 pm

October isn't that far off, I can't wait to pick these up.

Postby **Galacticat** » Wed Sep 16, 2015 6:03 pm

I can't wait to pick these up either- I love Mystery Minis and Nightmare Before Christmas and Tim Burton

How can I not?

Postby **jester00** » Wed Sep 16, 2015 6:22 pm

I think I'm going to try to trade my series 1 for a case of series 2. Would anyone be interested in that? I'm only missing zero, finkelstein, and Santa Jack. Oh and the mermaid guy, but he is cheap on eBay

If I wasn't already 3/4 of the way there I would take you up on this.

It's ok buddy. I'll try when they come out. I have a few non series 1 I can add to it also. Glow snowman, sally from disney, one of the HT glow Jack's, and a zero pop (think of it as an oversized mini) lol

Postby **alicemfong** » Fri Sep 25, 2015 12:40 pm

Is this a 1/12 chance for each one? So if I were to buy one full case, I'd get them all?

Postby **RogueSolo** » Fri Sep 25, 2015 2:18 pm

Yes (we think), and yes (pending no human-packing errors).

Postby **treswright** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 3:38 pm

These are showing up in Game Stops. I was in one this morning looking for the Kratos exclusive, saw a full case and passed on it since I had to go to another GS. Went to the 2nd one, no Kratos but picked up Evolving Dalek and unmasked Poe. Their NBC case was missing two. I asked the guy if he had a full case in back and he didn't, then he disclosed he was the one that bought the two missing from the case lol

Postby **RogueSolo** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 4:08 pm

Looks like someone got a case and put it up on eBay as well.

Can you confirm if they were all 1:12 rarity?

Yes they were, so buying a case should net 1 of each!

Postby **jester00** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 8:11 pm

Just got some from Hot Topic. Can confirm there are exclusives. Good thing is they are 1/12 also

Postby **RogueSolo** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 8:52 pm

Yes, they brought back the snake and nightcap Jack!

Postby **Poncho Pete** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 9:56 pm

Thanks for sharing the exclusives!

Postby **jester00** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 10:17 pm

I think the sally glows? She has green around her picture. Maybe someone can get her and confirm

Postby **dolphinax2** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 1:39 am

I'm so excited will be going shopping tomorrow.

Postby **doao** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 1:41 pm

Well I need those HT exclusives for my sister. Glad to see those didn't get scrapped.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 9:44 pm

Bought a case of these tonight. They all look very good, but unfortunately a bunch suffer from small feet - large head syndrome. Most notably are Pumpkin Jack and Lock (devil), the latter of whom I have propped up right now until I can get some putty under him. Sally does indeed glow, but it's a spotty (looks like sprayed on) gitd paint application. She still glows pretty well though. Picture in the Mosh!

Postby **jester00** » Sat Oct 10, 2015 9:56 pm

I got the rest of the case from HT. I am severely disappointed. I got all doubles. Only new mini was Locke. I got two of the orange monster, 3 lockes, and a barrel.
