Horror minis Zuul , Frozen Jack, Alex masked Spotted

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

So anyone wondering when these will hit your stores, it's the same as the NBC pops. Stores have to first clear their Seasonal section of "Back to School" Items and put up the Halloween items. I went to a walgreens today and found 2 full boxes of the new minis. They had the Halloween setup ready to go with tons of Nightmare Before Christmas products plus other stuff. My girl and I bought 5 boxes and this is what we got.

Elvira felt heavy as crap same as Jaws. Thought they were the Exclusive but it turned out to be them. Every other box feels almost the same in weight to me.

I picked up some NBC Pops from Walgreens yesterday but didn't see any horror minis. They did have some of the horror Pop selection including Alien, Freddy and the new IT.

I saw someone post on instagram the paint on Elvira is lighter for the Walgreens set. I thought she looked different, but I havent confirmed yet. Can someone confirm? They said Jason looks slightly different too. I did notice the paint applications seemed better on these than last year.

Call me hopeless, but I am still crossing my fingers for a Series 4 annoucement. It is interesting they advertised the NBC Walgreens exclusive Pops on the Funko Blog, but not this set.

I saw a picture comparing the two runs. They have different skin tones.

I've compiled layouts for the fresh cases. There are 3 different layouts.

The "Rare" is always in the same spot. Its either Freddy, Jack or the Stone ghostbusters exclusive

Oh yeah you're right! Just compared them tonight. Jason's mask is slightly more gray too, and his skin more black (instead of very dark gray).
I think the rest are the same. Patrick Bateman may have a slightly different skin tone too, but could be wrong. Also the new figures (Terror Dog, etc.) have 2017 markings under their feet while the figures from last year have 2016 markings.

Found a Walgreens with 4 boxes left. Scooped em' up, even got to keep the display lol, and got the Regular Zuul, the Walgreens Exclusive Zuul, Twisty and Imohtep from the Mummy.

Was really happy with what I got, especially since I've been wanting Twisty for so long and I didn't get anything I already had. Good day in my book!

When we were hunting this weekend, it looked like stores were still getting some of the items out. So hopefully this week you will find them! If not, someone may have already bought them before they made it out on the floor. Good luck!

Yeah, sadly I only want Zuul. Both versions would be great but I'd setting for just the regular version at cost not ebay prices lol

I found one full case and two partial cases today. Sadly I only got regular Zuul for the Walgreens exclusives. Otherwise pulled 2 Batemans, 2 Wolfman, 1 Jaws and the Grady Twins. Kind of bummed I didn't get any rares. I pulled from the rare spot on all 3. The cases must've been shuffled already.

Bought 5 boxes. Got Alex, Jason, Wolfman (Sigh, here we go again...), and TWO freakin' Jaws! I didn't read through this thread. I was just going by what was on the boxes, so, I was shocked that Jaws was even in this set! Super upset. Thought for sure I was getting Zuul. Grr. Was really wanting Frozen Jack.

Zuul is pretty light (I pulled the regular Zuul yesterday). I'm annoyed that Jaws and Wolfman are still in this set. I got way too many of those two from the first release of that series. The last thing I need is more of them.

Same. Went back this morning and bought three more. Got regular Zuul and two Stone Zuuls. Still need Frozen Jack if anyone winds up with an extra! I doubt I'll get him, to be honest. I'm hemmoragging money on Minis. I'm honestly about to the point where I'll forgo buying them in stores and just resort to eBay to get the ones I want.

I did that with Pinhead in the previous Horror series. I just ended up buying him on eBay. I hate to do it because I hate paying eBay prices, but it works out cheaper in the end when it comes down to it. I can't frigging give the duplicates from some series away. I'm up to my eyes in freaking Kevins from the Supernatural set.

^I have so many Wolfmans, Elviras and Jaws it's not funny. Because of their low rarity, like you said, you can't even seem to give them away. And then Funko goes and messes with the ratios on the ones that DID seem like an accomplishment. (Bateman, Syringe Freddy, etc.)

I'm still bummed the unreleased Norman Bates and Carrie minis didn't show up in the Walgreens assortment. And someone suggested a red Elvira? Would have been better than getting another regular one of her!

Same. We've got Carrie and Norman Pops now and a Carrie PSH so surely the minis will come out with the next series. Also hoping for the new Pennywise and Annabelle to be in the next one.

I'd love to see the new Pennywise in Series 4!

Norman Bates, Carrie, Candyman, Samara Morgan (someone a while ago on the forum suggested a mini of her crawling from a TV... How cool would that be?!), Pennywise 2017. I'd love an Audrey II, an Invisible Man, Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett, Pumpkinhead, the Bride of Frankenstein and Dracula. Among others.

I discovered something kind of neat. Each figure has a part stamp (or some sort of ID stamp) in white or black ink on the bottom of their feet. It may just be the figures I got, but the ones from Series 3 from last year have 4 digit numbers, while the ones this year (at least at Walgreens) have 5 digits. It helps if you mix them up and can't remember which was which for whatever reason.

I also noticed Hot Topic restocked online with the Series 3 regular case (not HT exclusive case). Weird, but just a heads up.

I saw a brand new case of these a few weeks back but had $0 of fun money on me at the time. I've been back multiple times since and nothing. Really hoping there's a restock of these. I still need Bateman and would love to get Masked Alex and (hopefully) Frozen Jack. the regular Alex and Jack were what actually got me into collecting Minis in the first place.

I noticed that too, and was tempted to try for some but then saw they were the regular case and not exclusives so I held back. I wonder if stores will get restocked too.

Finding out about this series was a fun surprise, I tried a few Walgreens over the last week and none had put out any Halloween stuff. I went to purchase a beverage at a store last night, and they had the case of minis sitting on the checkout counter. It was already 1/4 gone, so I picked up 3 at random and ended up getting both versions of the Terror Dog and the Grady twins (who I had never been able to get last time around). Very happy!

Also, time for some Ghostbusters geeking… this Terror Dog would not be Zuul (the one that possessed Dana), it would be Vinz Clortho (the one that possessed Louis). The way to tell them apart is the horns, Zuul’s are slighty shorter and just curve down, Vinz Clortho’s (and the Minis) curve down and then up a bit, giving them a very slight S shape.

I went to purchase a beverage at a store last night, and they had the case of minis sitting on the checkout counter. It was already 1/4 gone, so I picked up 3 at random and ended up getting both versions of the Terror Dog and the Grady twins (who I had never been able to get last time around). Very happy!

Also, time for some Ghostbusters geeking… this Terror Dog would not be Zuul (the one that possessed Dana), it would be Vinz Clortho (the one that possessed Louis). The way to tell them apart is the horns, Zuul’s are slighty shorter and just curve down, Vinz Clortho’s (and the Minis) curve down and then up a bit, giving them a very slight S shape.

I had no idea there were different terror dog types :0

It helps if you mix them up and can't remember which was which for whatever reason.

I also noticed Hot Topic restocked online with the Series 3 regular case (not HT exclusive case). Weird, but just a heads up.

I noticed that too, and was tempted to try for some but then saw they were the regular case and not exclusives so I held back. I wonder if stores will get restocked too.


They restocked the regular case for series 2 as well. Exclusive case's are gone.

I am doing them with the box facing you, going from left to right, starting with the furthest row away from you.



TOP:
Row 1 (A) Patrick Bateman (American Psycho)
Row 1 (B) Terror Dog (Regular)
Row 2 (A) The Wolfman (Layout 1) / Jason Voorhees (Layout 2 & 3)
Row 2 (B) Elvira
Row 3 (A) Alex DeLarge (A Clockwork Orange)
Row 3 (B) Bruce "The Shark" (Jaws)

BOTTOM:
Row 1 (A) The Wolfman (Layout 1 & 3) / Jason Voorhees (Layout 2)**
Row 1 (B) Regan (The Exorcist)
Row 2 (A) The Grady Twins (The Shining)
Row 2 (B) Twisty
Row 3 (A) Frozen Jack Torrance (Layout 1) / Freddy Krueger (Layout 2) / Terror Dog (Stone) (Layout 3)
Row 3 (B) Imhotep (The Mummy)

**= I cannot confirm this specific one because I did NOT open the box in this location as the video I watched showed him getting The Wolfman for a 2nd time here. I got Jason in the first spot, so I am assuming it was Jason again, however this is not confirmed. It makes sense though as every box has one duplicate (well, technically the Terror Dogs are different versions but still the same)


Thanks for posting this. I found 2 cases this morning and was able to pull Bateman (finally!) and Masked Alex. I grabbed 2 of what should have been "Row 3 (A) Frozen Jack Torrance (Layout 1) / Freddy Krueger (Layout 2) / Terror Dog (Stone) (Layout 3)" but ended up being 2 Wolfman instead. I'm wondering if the bottom layer was somehow reversed. Odd how it was in both cases though.

The layout is right sounds like your box was rearranged. Took me 6 tries to finally get Jack.

That makes sense, they did that with Princess minis too (Target has done it with Spiderman and Rick and Morty too I think).

Would really love the 2 terror dogs, paler Elvira, and Jaws to finish up my Horror set. Is there not going to be a series 4 this year?
