Been collecting these for a little bit now and love everything about them, except for how often I pull Dredd. In it for the long haul, NEED the Rockteer badly.

I'm in the same boat but my most common pull is the Tron guy (multiples of both versions). It's gotten so bad that when I pick up a box, my 7 year-old says "Dad, you have enough Trons." On a positive note though, I have 2 Mars Attacks, 2 Jaynes and at least 2 Bloody Predators. I should just put on my big boy pants and buy Rocketeer off eBay already. Cheaper in the long run...

Were you missing any others or just The Rocketeer?

I'd trade you my Rocketeer for one of your Mars Attacks if you were interested. Heck, I'd toss in Spock for one of your extra Tron's too!!

I have so many ETs. Its become a joke at my local comic store because no matter which box I pull (they restock from their other boxes so its always full) I always pull an ET.

Just the Rocketeer. At one point I needed Jayne too but saw him at a toy show and bought him. On the way home I stopped at target and bought a couple of blind boxes and guess who I got? Yep. Jayne.

Jayne and Lootcrate Mal are the only two that weren't blind pulls.

We might be able to work out a trade (I'd throw in the Tron for free.) PM me.

If anyone has an extra Robocop or Jayne, i have an extra GITD Tron or Malcolm up for trade, just PM me

Series 2 pic at the bottom of:

Spoiler: show

Postby **zoomfactor32** » Sun Feb 15, 2015 1:30 pm

Really excited for series 2! I love Neo and Morpheus! And Bender! Woo-hoo!

I'm not sure who the purple robot in the top row is though. I'm also drawing a blank on the character to the right of the Borg in the bottom row. Looks like a Trek character.

Postby **Oatmealman** » Sun Feb 15, 2015 1:42 pm

Pretty awesome!

Postby **SarahK** » Sun Feb 15, 2015 1:52 pm

Aw, I want that Iron Giant!

The guy to the right of the borg is Alexander Dane from Galaxy Quest.

Galaxy Quest....such a fun movie.

Postby **studioki** » Sun Feb 15, 2015 3:54 pm

Who is the egyptian guy on the bottom left. I recognized all of them except for him.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Sun Feb 15, 2015 4:20 pm

Starbuck from the original Battlestar Galactica.

The Blue/Purple robot is Gigantor (Tetsujin 28) and he is awesome. I must have them all!

Postby **Squird** » Sun Feb 15, 2015 5:27 pm

This and the new Horror set are both really strong.

Postby **Lord Thex** » Sun Feb 15, 2015 5:38 pm

Wait, no Twiggy from Buck Rogers?!

I'm actually pleasantly surprised by these... Good job!

It would be a mini-mini

Hah! He'd be like ET... You would know exactly what's in the blind box as soon as you pick it up.

Couldn't agree more, can't wait to buy boxes of both!

Postby **wardengorri** » Sun Feb 15, 2015 8:41 pm

By the way, who's in the top row on the right of Leela, second from the left? And finding out it's Alexander Dane from Galaxy Quest next to the Borg got me way more excited.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Sun Feb 15, 2015 8:52 pm

A Mandashowan(sp?), one of the bad guys from The Fifth Element.

Postby **Batfan** » Mon Feb 16, 2015 11:29 am

Man, I'm really going to want the Alien Queen and Voltron. With wanting those two so bad I'm torn whether I'll buy cherry picking or trying to win luck.

Thanks! I knew he looked familiar. Great movie, long time since I saw it.

Thank you too! I just read up a little on Gigantor and he sounds cool. I'll be happy to add him to my collection. This looks like another whole case purchase! :bounce:

You're welcome! I love that movie and watch it when I can. :'D

Just realized we didn't see B9 in this wave, wonder if they gave up trying to get the license for him.

Your post reminded me of that too! I was really hoping B9 would make it into the second wave. I had forgotten about him amidst all the other awesome of the new set. Hopefully he'll see release eventually.

There is a chance that we will see some Hot Topic exclusives.

also, these (and lots of other new sets) have now been added to the Mystery Mini Checklist in the List, List, List section.

Thanks for doing the updates!

Not a Mondoshawan, but a Mangalore.

Postby **misterjstewart** » Wed Feb 18, 2015 1:01 am

Between series 2 of the Sci Fi line and Series 2 of the Horror line (not to mention the Vinyl Sugar/Evil Corp figures and the Hikari line) I just might need to book a room in the poor-house. Funko is swingin' for the fences this year.

Also, the Frankenstein Jr. Pop! may well be the one that starts me collecting those. Damn You, Funko! Don't you realize that my kid's gotta eat?!

Postby **zoomfactor32** » Fri Feb 20, 2015 10:54 am

Any thoughts on a mini or two from DEFIANCE? I suggested this show in the ReAction section, but I thought some of the characters might be a good fit for the Sci-Fi mini line too.

I wish it was a Mondoshawan, their space suits would look awesome in this style.

My big wants in this series are the Iron Giant, Voltron, Gigantor, Alien Queen, Neo, the Borg, Bender, and Dr. Lazarus. Actually, I want them all. I will try and restrain myself to those figures, but I tried that on the first series and ended up getting every one.

The missing Robot B-9 is a bit disappointing, and I was hoping for a Planet of the Apes figure in this series.

Postby **HavokAndChaos** » Fri Feb 20, 2015 12:51 pm

Series 2 looks great, but I was really hoping for some new BSG specifically Number 6.
