Still, I wish it had been Death, not Thin man... oh well, maybe series 2.

I love this style for these! They go well with my Horror Classics, Sci-Fi, and Walking Dead minis.

I like the character set, too. There have been too many characters over the years to get all of them in a series, but one character I'd like to see here is Azazel, the yellow-eyed demon... He was one of my favorite characters to hate!

Azazel would be cool. The clown Rhakshasta would be great too. Creepy overly large smile. Haunter of my dreams he is.

I dont currently have any Mystery Minis... but these are a must buy! They will be the beginning of my Mini collection.
I hope the rare ones arent stupidly rare though. I have no luck with those kinds of things and I want an actual chance of collecting them all

I dont think they are going higher in probability than 1:72 anymore. I haven't seen a 1:144 since horror and game of thrones. 1:72 isnt too bad. I hope its a variant. In my experience ( I guess you could call it that) if the rare is a unique popular character the prices on third party markets are really high (handless Jaime went for $100 at one time), but if its simply a GITD, or slightly different variant of a common character the price remains reasonable. I dont see any variants in the concept art so might be out of luck.

I keep looking at these minis and my anticipation gets higher. I have a couple of questions/observations:

-I haven't heard any word on this, but I wondered if the wings on Castiel and Gadreel will be removable. It would make them fit in the bag and box easier, and it would provide different display options. Maybe this has already been asked or stated, and I missed it.

- I think the Leviathan would make for some good variants/exclusives.

Do we know when these will be coming out? I've seen when we can expect others but not these.

Postby **BillyLouis** » Fri Feb 20, 2015 3:58 pm

I really hope there are "chases", but not too rare. haha.

Im fine with 1/72 chases. It makes the mystery experience fun. I just dont like the 1/144. I guess 1/44 only works with the 24 in a box configuration because in both cases they like having 6 different box configurations.

Yeah I agree 1/72 is fine. I hate the 1/144 and I also hate the 24 count boxes when they give you 2/24. So many doubles. I really hope Funko sticks with the 12 piece boxes or at least won't put doubles in a case.

1/44 makes me feel like I'll never get them...I would be fine with this line being 1/12 for now though

I really hope its not like the Turtles mini line, I want a few chases. I plan on buying a case so I would like a surprise or two to look forward too. That said, I would be happy with it being no more than 1:24/36. I admittedly do not want a 1:144, or even 72, but I do hope for chases.

These look really cool. Can't wait to pick some up!

Postby **hawkman2** » Sun Mar 01, 2015 3:22 pm

Well it is my favorite show!

Postby **meeshabeth** » Sat Mar 07, 2015 5:24 pm

I think this series is going to get me to start collecting the Minis. I'm normally a strictly Pop! girl.

While slender man is cool, I don't think it should have been in the lineup. He was only in one episode and not one of my favorites. Would have loved to have seen meg instead.

Postby **missauru** » Sat Mar 07, 2015 5:48 pm

Hopefully these will be popular enough to warrant a series 2, and that's where Meg will be

Yeah, a Meg would be in series 2 for sure I believe. I hope its popular enough too.

I can't wait for these to come out. My grail will be Bobby, I have been waiting for him to come out in pop form for a while. I do have some minis but I will probably buy a case in search of my Bobby. LOL

Postby **BillyLouis** » Sun Mar 08, 2015 1:01 am

Maybe we could set up some kind of trading for these. I'm getting a case as well, and I would gladly help out anyone with any doubles I get.

Postby **studioki** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 11:03 am

This will be the first one I am going to get a case for. They dont have a lot of really cool Supernatural merchandise, and this is the best Ive seen.

Postby **missauru** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 11:10 am

I wish they'd let us know the ratios already! I pray for nothing high than 1/72... But I would prefer the one under that lol

. Was it 36 or 44? Either is better than 72 :p

Hopefully Bobby isnt the chase one... :eek:

Postby **studioki** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 1:36 pm

I haven't seen a 144 in a while, not since they switched from 24 to 12 box crates. Sci Fi, Frozen, Walking Dead 3, DC Justice League and Game of Thrones Series 2 dont go above a 1/72. I think its good that they cap it at this number.

Postby **missauru** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 4:48 pm

Good. Hopefully they don't bring it back just to mess with our heads lol

Postby **studioki** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 5:07 pm

Oops, meant Walking Dead Series 3. Series 2 had 1/144 I think.

That would be just mean and cruel to make Bobby the chase [-(

Postby **studioki** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 6:14 pm

My guess is Gabriel/Sam as Angel (whichever one that figure is) and Abadon.

Postby **missauru** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 6:32 pm

Or maybe there are a few exclusives that arent revealed yet? Like a GITD angel or something?
When will we have infooooo

Postby **BillyLouis** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 6:55 pm

I will cry if Abaddon is a chase. Haha.

And, I'm the one who is hoping for chases.

So you want chases on your own terms

Haha. Exactly.

Oh man I'm such a noob I have no idea what y'all are talking about with the numbers and the chases and all that. Guess if I'm gonna start getting into Mystery Mini's I need to do some research.

The things I do for Supernatural *sigh*

Postby **missauru** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 11:19 pm

The numbers are ratios of how often the minis appear. For ex:

See how they all have fractions next to them? Look at the top right hand one, he has a 1/12 next to him. So if you buy a case of 12 frozen minis you should get 1 of him. There are a few with that ratio, and they are the most common figures in the set.

Youll notice that there are other numbers too like 1/24, and 1/36. As you get to the higher numbers the figures become less common and harder to find.

The ones toward the bottom with 1/72 are the least common, and thus they are the chase pieces.

There is also the potential for this kind of thing:

If you can see it says 'Hot Topic exclusive' above the first few figures, along with their ratios. You will only have a chance to get those at HT, even though Frozen MMs are sold elseware. So if you want one of those specifically you should only buy minis there.

I hope that makes some sense? Anyone else more knowledgeable on the subject can feel free to chime in and correct me if I am mistaken about any of this

Postby **meeshabeth** » Mon Mar 09, 2015 11:59 pm

Wow I guess I don't have to do much research after all. Thanks so much, missauru, that's very helpful!

Not sure if I'll be able to afford a case, but I'll definitely be getting some of these whenever they come out. And now that I know what "chase" means, I definitely hope Bobby isn't one of those cuz that would be sad since we don't even have a Pop of him!

Postby **missauru** » Tue Mar 10, 2015 12:11 am

I am glad you found it useful

Yeah I really hope Bobby isn't a chase! We all agree that would be cruel of them so let's hope Funko agrees too.

Postby **BillyLouis** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 11:25 pm

I posted this question in the Mystery Mini checklist thread, but I figured I would post it here as well.

So...........
Do we have any information on the "Supernatural" Mystery Minis. I see Entertainment Earth has preorders up for most of the other recently announced sets.

Postby **Stragon** » Sun Mar 15, 2015 11:26 pm

My hope is that they come out when the hot cash deal is going on, then I might be able to afford to buy a case.

Postby **missauru** » Sun Mar 15, 2015 11:36 pm

I didn't think of that. It is an idea too good to be true!

Postby **BillyLouis** » Sat Mar 28, 2015 3:31 pm

Do we have any idea of when the release date could be?

Postby **Ninian** » Sat Mar 28, 2015 11:11 pm

Well damn. I really try to limit myself on these minis, but I love this style and I love Supernatural. I may have to cave on these when they come out...

Could not agree more... this white-eyed style are my favorite minis!!!
