Classic Sci-Fi Mystery Minis Blind Box Series by Funko

Funko has announced their newest line of Mystery Minis blind box series, and it has to be setting some kind of record for most licensed properties ever in a blind box toy line! The Classic Sci-Fi Mystery Minis Series includes adorable 2.5” versions of iconic characters from science fiction movies and television shows such as Predator, Alien, Mars Attacks Alien, Judge Dredd, Robby the Robot, Robocop, Star Trek’s Spock, B-9 from Lost in Space, Tron, Metaluna Mutant, E.T., The Rocketeer, and Mal and Jayne from Firefly/Serenity!

The Classic Sci-Fi Mystery Minis Series also includes a couple of sweet glow in the dark, clear, metallic and blood splattered variants. While most figures have a 1/12 ratio, there are a few harder to find designs that feature 1/36 and 1/72 ratios making this one of the harder Mystery Minis Series to complete.

The Classic Sci-Fi Minis Blind Box Series is not scheduled to hit store shelves later this month (September 2014), but you can pre-order it now from Entertainment Earth! A full case (12 BBs) of the Classic Sci-Fi Mystery Minis can be purchased for $67.99 here or a 4 pack of blind boxes for $22.99 here.

Firefly ReAction Retro Action Figures by Funko & Super7

If you loved the original Aliens ReAction Figure toy line from Funko and Super7 as much as The Blot then you’ll be excited to see even more waves have been announced! Thanks to Entertainment Earth we now have pictures of the upcoming Firefly ReAction Figures, which includes (most of) the crew of the starship Serenity: Malcolm Reynolds, Jayne Cobb, Zoe Washburne, Hoban Washburne and Kaylee Frye. Firefly is still The Blot’s favorite Joss Whedon creation (sorry movie Avengers). Personally I can’t get enough Firefly/Serenity, whether it be tie-in comic books, t-shirts, statues or toys. Here’s hoping we get a second wave of Firefly Reaction figures to round out the show’s large ensemble cast.

Two of The Blot’s favorite toy companies have teamed up to produce a retro line of 3 ¾” pop culture officially licensed action figures based on the classic Kenner action figures of the ’70 sand ‘80s. Each figure includes 5 points of articulation and comes packaged on a full color “retro” blister card. All 5 Firefly ReAction Figures are currently available for pre-order now exclusively through Entertainment Earth for $9.99 here.
