Where are the SDCC 2015 exclusive mystery minis??

Postby **gogman** » Wed Jun 17, 2015 5:24 pm

Well we're five waves into the SDCC 2015 reveals and still no mystery minis - what's going on?!

The mystery mini lines are by a lot of reports the biggest growth market for Funko year on year, yet no SDCC exclusives.

I'm getting worried now Funko's decided that a case or two would be too much for people to carry around the con so they're simply not doing any.

Hopefully they're saving some for later reveals but I'm definitely getting twitchy!

There are still 5 (?) reveal days left, and last year they released 3 different MM sets. So if they have approximately 20 individual reveals left, I'm sure they'll be in there. I'm anxiously waiting for their announcement as well

they just announced supernatural mystery minis... maybe a sdcc version is in the works?

love to see something off the wall and unique for sure!

I wasn't oo crazy about the minis last year, I got a few at Barnes and Noble but knowing I'll never get a set unless I buy a whole case will stop me from buying any this year.

If they have any I doubt I'll get them. I rather take my time to buy MM. Unless there's some SDCC Suernatural ones being released..... then my resolution is gone.

I'm anxiously awaiting a second series of the black & white Game of Thrones MM
I think we are only halfway through the reveals so there's still time

After seeing 3 of the same character there should be some minis by now.

Have yet to see any ponies either, Hikari or Vinyls so I'm sure those will be in one of the days (I'm guessing friday), and the mystery minis probably will be the last day.

I am looking forward to seeing what the SDCC minis will be!! Let's hope some sdcc exclusive scifi !! And or DC!

Those would be awesome. I'd also love to see Disney, anime, and/or MLP.

I would oddly like to see an Anime Expo exclusive pack like how people got at the Bethesda conference at E3. Especially since AX is 6 days before SDCC. It would be a great way to introduce the line and sell it to the main target audience.

not likely, but I'd love to see another RIP GoT mini series to continue from last years. I'm definitely expecting to see some minis announcement in the next few reveals.

I'd be surprised if there aren't any ponies this year.

Not sure how well the minis sold last year. I know Gemini had lots of cases leftover for awhile and Barnes and Noble had some for awhile too.

Agreed, that would be really cool.

Really? I searched through four B&Ns last year, looking for MMs and found none. By chance I managed to find a few leftovers at a random B&N.

I ordered mine online from B&N, no problem.

Lots of great suggestions.

I'd personally love to see the DC figures repainted as various Lantern Corps, with maybe a couple of new sculpts. Series 2 of GoT In Memoriam would be cool as well as long as there were a couple of new sculpts.

Hopefully the later reveals show something as we're all hoping.

I am Still hoping for some exclusive GOT mystery minis!

prayers for Freddy Funko minis!
Oh, and the 2nd Horror to finally come out. I really want American Werewolf in London figure!

Yeah, but that was a memorium set, it was black/white to symbolize that those characters had died (on the show). I don't watch it, have enough additional characters died to justify a 2nd memorium set?

Oh there's been more than enough deaths to justify one!

Yet again, no Mystery Minis.

I'm starting to think we're just not getting them this year.

Postby **draemar** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 4:42 pm

Agreed, it's not looking good...

Postby **gogman** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 5:25 pm

I agree. My initial concern has now turned to deep pessimism.

If they're not going to do any they could have let everyone know in advance though.

Yeah I def think so
People die like every episode
They only did 8 characters in series 1

it would be cool if they did a black and white sci-fi/universal monster set. Would love another round of the departed GOT characters..they couldn't keep up with that list if they tried.

Postby **nikko** » Tue Jun 23, 2015 6:49 am

I hope they will have Disney MM again!

You should- I feel like it's one of those shows that has something for everyone

I hope there is more Game of Thrones minis this year!

Alright, now I'm starting to get a little nervous.

Thank you, I did go out and buy the season 1 Blu Rays last night so I will give it a try and see what I think :-)

Still a few waves to go, but yeah, so far they haven't even thrown MM collectors a bone. However, there are these... -warning, Collector Corps Ant Man spoiler ahead....

Postby **MorbidGee** » Tue Jun 23, 2015 2:58 pm

I'm sure there will be some minis...Look at last year they did the Game of Thrones in Memorium. So don't give up hope yet

The waves are not over yet. I'm sure we can expect some soon.

Another wave and still no minis. I'm starting to lose hope

Postby **kenerickkoo** » Wed Jun 24, 2015 11:09 pm

Hope they release Marvel mystery minis like last year!

If you haven't seen it yet, check out the Collector Corps thread in the Pop forum. The June release theme is Ant Man, they just started shipping and there are 4 different Ant Man minis (2 in each box). Nothing to do with SDCC, but at least it shows Funko hasn't completely forgotten MM collectors!

The 4 Ant Man minis are exclusive to the Collector Corps and they are their own set, not part of a previous set. The theme of the box this month was "Ant Man", it included an exclusive unmasked Ant Man Pop! complete with a teeny tiny Ant Man bobble head Pop (the sticker says it's Funko's smallest bobble ever) in addition to two of the four minis (blind boxed). All boxes also include a t-shirt, patch, pin and comic book. It doesn't look like the minis will be available outside the Collector Corps. Funko is really enticing people to pony of for the CC, so far the boxes have been a really good value.

Oh, I see. That's really cool. Thanks for responding!
