Funko's Mystery Mini Figure Army

Back in February, Funko (the undisputed masters of cutie transmogrification on all your pop culture loves), showed off several lines of Mystery Mini figures, forever sealing our fates in the hell of blind box collecting...a hell we've been fighting off for many years now. Amid the DC Comics Domos and DC Comics Superheroes and Villains stood a collection in a very unique style, utilized on the creatures and survivors of the blockbuster TV series The Walking Dead. As we OOO'd and Ahhhh'd over these impending plastics of doom, we did not realize mad Mr. Funko was watching from the wings, stroking his beard and whispering "Exxxxcellllent." Today, we see his diabolical plans come to a head.

Presenting...those little frustrating things you'll be spending all your money on for the forseeable future.

ANYWAYS..I think these things because Funko seems to be on a non stop assault to fill my email in-box to the top with news of their newest fantastic plastics...every other day! Today, we add three more waves to the pile...

Sure, most of us still don't have these legendary 3D TV's, but this news is good enough incentive to drive you into the streets, knocking on random doors to see who does and make a date for this release!

The Nightmare Before Christmas is produced by Academy Award® nominated writer and producer Tim Burton (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride) and Denise DiNovi (Edward Scissorhands, James and the Giant Peach), directed by Henry Selick (Coraline, James and the GiantPeach) and written by Michael McDowell (Beetle Juice, Thinner) and Caroline Thompson (Corpse Bride, The Addams Family). And the spectacular characters are voiced by the talents of Chris Sarandon (The Princess Bride, Fright Night) as Jack Skellington’s speaking voice, Danny Elfman (Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) as Jack Skellington’s singing voice and Catherine O-Hara (Home Alone, Best In Show) as Sally, to name a few.

NECA's Nightmare Before Christmas Toys Resurface

Just in time for the holidays! IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!!! Thanks to a little buzz from my buds on The Fwoosh forums, I was alerted to something excellent. One of the best parts of collecting toys is the element of surprise. It seems entire shipments of action figures can just pop up out of the blue, years after their date of release...and the best part is the price. Since this is old stock and more often then not, sold to a closeout specialist, something going for 25 dollars on ebay can hit the pegs for a fraction of that. Such is the case of NECA's action figure line for A Nightmare Before Christmas , series 3, 4 and 5, showing up in the states for 5 dollars a pop at discount store chain 5 Below. 5 DOLLARS!!! I verified this today and laid my hands on Jack as the Pumpkin King, The Devil, Mummy Boy & Bat Kid, Igor, Behemoth & Easter Bunny, Clown (without the tear away face, sadly), Jack in PJ's and Undersea Gal. I also found some JUN Planning series 1 and 2 Trading Figures. Since they are tiny and I don't want to go all psychotic with buying up all the NBC goods, I only nabbed Snowman Jack and It's a Dream World (which shows Jack observing the tiny sleeping elves.) Forum posters noted they've been scoring the SDCC exclusive Vampire Costume Jack at stores as well, so keep your eyes peeled and happy hunting!




























P.S. If you see scalpers buying ALL the stock when you go on your hunt, please be sure to tell a clerk what they are doing, take a cell phone pic and send it in. We are going to start giving prizes for the best "Scalper Caught in the Act" pics. Tell them we said Happy Holidays!
