Horror Classics Mystery Minis - Series 4 - Predictions, Thoughts

Last Updated: 08/01/2018

I thought it would be fun to try my guess at the potential next Series in the Horror Classics Mystery Mini line by Funko. In 2014 we got Series 1, 2015 Series 2, 2016 and 2017 Series 3. In 2018, what can we expect?

I thought I could try my hand at predicting what could be in store for Series 4. These predictions are based on previous series, other Funko products, and some wild speculation on my part. Let's get into it!

The best starting place are the scrapped designs from Series 3:

Norman Bates from Psycho (1960), and Carrie White from Carrie (1976) were both scrapped from Series 3 due to licensing issues (see left images for their concept art).

Recently we've received merchandise of both these characters, meaning this may not be an issue if they made a Series 4!

Horror Classics Mystery Minis - Series 1 - Review (Part 1)

(If you haven't already, feel free to check out my Introduction post to this toy line)

One of the things I really appreciate in the Horror Classics line is how diverse the character choices are. You didn't just get Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, and a few variations of them. Funko was able to pull in something the likes of NECA and McFarlane have done in the past within one single toy line. The Horror Classics line was surely off to a great start with this stellar roster!

There are 16 figures in Series 1.
Here are the first 10, in order of appearance.
---
Character: Leatherface
Appearance: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (movie, 1974)
Rarity: 2/24
This figure shows off how cute they can make deadly movie horror icons. He's hefty just like he is in the movie. My favorite detail besides the crooked smile is his arm hairs. The pose is great too, like he's just waiting to pull the cord. He is one of my favorites in this series due to how large and detailed he came out.

Horror Classics Mystery Minis - Series 1 - Intro.

In 2013, Funko announced a new line of toy products: Blind Box Mystery Minis. Around this time blind boxes and blind bags were very popular, so it made sense for Funko to try their hand at it. There were several other lines being introduced, such as The Walking Dead, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Hello Kitty. Each was placed inside a Box that contained the figure, usually in the 2 to 2.5 inch scale. The toys that caught my eyes were the Horror Classics.
