New Horror Mystery Boxes!

Beetlejuice is cool it's really the only one I'd want. I would really like a shrunken head Beetlejuice with a pop key chain head.

I agree about Beetlejuice. I would like to have this one, but I would like to see other variants and other characters. A wedding Lydia is top on my wish list.

Have you seen the art work by Nena (TheQueenOfGates)? She's done some Beetlejuice concepts.

I've been staring at these for about 10 solid minutes now, just drooling over them. Those Pan's Labyrinth designs are straight up killer! And that Coraline has been so high on my Pop wish list for ages! And do my eyes spot an Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors Pop?? And is that Mad Madame Mim from Sword in the Stone?!?

Funko, why aren't you making literally ALL of these?!? [-o<

I want Coraline, too. I hope they get that license someday. So many of her concepts have actually been made or are currently in the works, so maybe there is hope for the others.

Also, if you haven't seen her Instagram or tumblr you should check them out. I believe her name on both is TheQueenOfGates.

Wait, how did I miss that? I guess I just kept starring at the Johnny Five and wishing he were on his way to my collection. Totally missed Audrey II.

Ill be trying to track down pinhead

Postby **JJLecaros** » Sat Sep 17, 2016 4:25 pm

kinda disappointed that the clockwork isn't a regular HT exclusive.

Postby **BrentD86** » Sat Sep 17, 2016 8:58 pm

Haha I am new to collecting (about a month and a half in) and just when I think I am budgeted for what I would like to hunt for in the future month or two... something like this gets announced.

Postby **MorbidGee** » Sat Sep 17, 2016 11:32 pm

I'm a horror fan so all of these are definitely must haves for me

I normally only buy 10 of the mystery pops when HT places them on sale. I've been pretty lucky so far. Just hoping I do get all four on this set

I am sure these will sellout. I think most want the clockwork orange pop. I want them all.

Postby **BrentD86** » Sun Sep 18, 2016 5:15 pm

I have a question since this is my first time going after mystery boxes. Do these normally go live on the site at 12:00 AM the day of release or just at some random time?

Postby **hpellot** » Sun Sep 18, 2016 7:09 pm

I think these will sell out fast
It's a good idea doing this around holloween
I want the chase and juice

Postby **BigHow** » Sun Sep 18, 2016 11:53 pm

I'll always take more Hellraiser Pops! Hopefully it's not too much of a pain to feel out.

Postby **MadLove** » Mon Sep 19, 2016 12:21 am

Definitely need that Jason and Betelgeuse!

"Everyone" heard October 1st. "Everyone" also didn't look at a calendar - that's a Saturday.

Definitely Beetlejuice only

Postby **lookslost** » Mon Sep 19, 2016 12:27 pm

Funny. I want Beetlejuice, but not bad enough to buy the mystery boxes haha.

I did.

Found it odd that it was coming out on a Saturday.

These are neat, but I only really want Beetlejuice and Jason. Alex isn't horror to me, and the only difference in Pinhead is his arms being crossed, which I prefer the one with the box anyway, so...yeah. Not sure I'll go for these or just buy off of someone with duplicates later.

I think I'll buy one and hope I get Beetlejuice and if I don't hopefully I'll find someone who will want to trade. I definitely agree that Alex isn't horror and this seems like more of a ploy to get people to buy him because of the hype around the original Alex.

Agreed. I was never a big fan of The Clockwork Orange anyway...weird movie, but nothing that blew me out of the water. The Pops are neat, but I just don't understand why they are lumped into the horror line.

Jason looks cool, but I'm not a huge Jason fan either, and I think I'd rather have the Jason in Space version, if they ever make him, haha.

I'm sure these will do much better. The Fallout boxes were all variants of Vault Boy so if you don't like Fallout you probably weren't interested in those. This new wave has 4 characters from 4 different movies so if you are a horror fan there is most likely at least one you are gonna go after.

Yep. For instance I gotta have the Jason and while I like the other 3, they arent must haves. Pinhead would have been an absolute MUST but I dont see how he is different. Just his arms crossed? Seems like the regular one with him holding the box couldve been the exclusive

I know Alex isn't technically "horror", but his character is pure horror any way you look at it. Much more so than Beetlejuice, or Slimer in the minis line. Those are great, but there isn't anything slightly scary about either in thought or movie. I'd lump them together as comedy. Alex on the other hand was a

Spoiler: show

Real horror show;)

Don't feel bad...I've been pining away for a Coraline for years and looked right over it on the board after multiple views, I think the pans labyrinth had me hypnotized! It was staring at me the whole time. Same with Audrey. So much great stuff on that board.

If anyone goes for these and gets Jason, and doesn't want Jason, and wants to sell me Jason (not at a ridiculous mark up), I will consider buying Jason.

That is all.

Postby **alex_dewitt** » Thu Sep 22, 2016 4:07 pm

For everyone who was confused by Pinhead, he's not only a new mold with crossed arms but also a GitD variant. This was confirmed on last night's Periscope as well as the release date of 1 October and Alex being the 1/8 chase.

I agree with Clockwork Orange not being in the Horror genre, but Alex as a character definitely represents the word Horror by all means!

umm, I think you forgot to say which pop you actually wanted. might make it tricky to get a trade, try saying the name a couple times for more luck lol

that's great news on the Pinhead! wanted it regardless, but glow makes it even better. And Alex is without a doubt cross platform horror. I'm sure the Horror genre would love to claim it as it is one of the few characters from a film that had academy award nominations and critical love. After awhile horror usually turns into dark comedy. The first Nightmare on Elm St kept me awake for months, no joke. But after that they usually turn into cliche jokes. Alex has thankfully been left alone to be the ultraviolent antagonist/victim creep that he is.

as for the Beetlejuice, I've forever wanted to do the big top carousel Beetlejuice custom, but was always hung up on the carousel hat and have since moved on...it would make a great 6 inch production piece though!!

Also, you have to factor in that this will be the Mystery Box release since Popcultcha got shut down. A lot more people will probably be buying these in stores since they don't have PC as an option any more.

Good point. And this will be the first release on a Saturday so that should allow some more people to get them in store at opening.

Very valid points , i didnt even think about PC not being available

Postby **Blehschmidt** » Fri Sep 23, 2016 8:40 pm

Jason.

That is all

I actually have to get Beetlejuice and the Alex from this set.
But not for myself. My mom's favorite movie is A Clockwork Orange and I got her the regular Alex she saw this one on the back of it and told me she really wants this is well. My mom doesn't ask for anything so I have to get this for her.
The Beetlejuice holds a very special place for me and my brother. When my brother was a kid this is the version of Beetlejuice he dressed up as for Halloween when the movie came out. So I have to track these guys down for them for Christmas.
