To celebrate last weekend’s start of the NFL regular season, The Blot got my hands on a couple of TeenyMates Quarterback Series 1 blind bags. Each bag contains two randomly inserted 1” NFL Quarterbacks and two puzzle pieces, which combine to form a football field on one side and a NFL mini-poster on the other. If you’re a fan of 1” figures then this is a pretty nice set. It’s an even better set if you’re also a fan of the NFL as well!
What’s great about these NFL TeenyMates is how detailed they are for such small figures. Each figure includes a mini football and comes wearing 1 of 32 NFL uniforms, which consists primarily of a pretty detailed helmet featuring the team’s logo. While these are a great cheap blind box toy for kids, I’d stick to the toy’s “ages 4+” guideline. I can see how these little figures could definitely become choking hazards for really young kids. With that being said, if you’re a sports fan and are looking to add a toy to your desk at work these would make a great addition. I’m also a big fan of the line’s puzzle football field. As you can tell from the photo above, the puzzle makes a perfect playing surface for your TeenyMates QBs. The only problem is I think you’ve got to collect all 32 figures in order to complete the puzzle.
While I don’t know if all 32 figures all have the same ratio, I do know there are three mystery chase figures randomly inserted into packs. To me, this is the best part of the series as each is a pretty cool chase! The rarest figure is the Metallic Gold TeenyMates Quarterback that could definitely pass a TeenyMates championship trophy. This figure has a ratio of 1 in 192. Next is the Houston Oilers Throwback figure (with a 1 in 96 ratio), which features the Tennessee Titans’ original baby blue and white uniforms from their days in Houston. Last but not least is the Glow in the Dark TeenyMate (with a 1 in 64 ratio) that, as you can expect, glows in dark! These are great chases, and I especially love the Oilers figure. I'll probably even pick up a few more blind bags just to see if I can snag one of these three figures. I wonder what other old school NFL teams they may be able to include in future releases?
Now available at Target, team shops, and sporting goods, gift and toy stores across the nation, NFL TeenyMates can be purchased for just $3.99 per blind bag. These fun little toys are also available through Amazon as a four bag bundle (that’s 8 figures in all) for $19.95 here. Look for additional TeenyMates leagues to be released soon!
