Five Nights at Freddy's Mystery Minis - Series Glow 1 - Review, Conclusion

(If you haven't already, feel free to check out the Introduction Post)

This is the review of the Series 1 Glow Five Nights at Freddy's Mystery Minis. While nice figures, this review itself will be fairly bare bones compared to the last series. I'll make note of some of the decisions for the green motif, and review them in order of appearance in the series.


Character: Freddy Fazbear (Glow)
Appearance: FNaF
Rarity: 1/12
This is the bear that started it all, Freddy Faz-wait what happened to you? Green belly and ears. Kept the black hat and bow tie, classic!

Character: Bonnie the Rabbit (Glow)
Appearance: FNaF
Rarity: 1/12
The guitar and bow tie are colored for him, even green eye lids. The arms are a little lighter for some reason, not sure if that was a production error or not. Still looks great!

Character: Chica the Chicken (Glow)
Appearance: FNaF
Rarity: 1/12
The feet and beaks are green. The bib is the same which is neat. Great pose as always.

Character: Foxy the Pirate (Glow)
Appearance: FNaF
Rarity: 1/12
Green eye liner, muzzle, and pants. I like how they kept the silver/metal parts too. Looks good.

Character: Golden Freddy (Glow)
Appearance: FNaF
Rarity: 1/12
Green belly, ears, and all else clear. I like the decision since Golden Freddy's more ghost-like in character.

Character: Toy Freddy (Glow v2)
Appearance: FNaF 2
Rarity: 1/12
Green eye lid, cheek, belly, and ears. Also a green stripe around the hat. I like that they colored the whiskers too. This is the second glow version of Toy Freddy (see Series 1). It is distinctive enough from the first glow figure to tell them apart.

Character: Toy Bonnie (Glow)
Appearance: FNaF 2
Rarity: 1/12
Green cheeks, eye lids, belly, and ears. The eyes on Toy Bonnie are green so they didn't change that. Like Toy Freddy, I like that they colored the whiskers.

Character: Mangle (Funtime Foxy) (Glow)
Appearance: FNaF 2
Rarity: 1/12
They made her eye lids green, as well as her muzzle, make-up, ears, cheeks, belly, and bow tie. They made her arms and feet metallic, which was creative for Mangle. Looks pretty good.

Character: Marionette (Glow)
Appearance: FNaF 2
Rarity: 1/12
This is the most interesting one to me. They made its body green instead of translucent, and kept the white stripes. Buttons were changed to white, and the head is also white (except for the mask portion). The rest of him is green, except for the mask. Really neat and interesting decision.

Character: Balloon Boy (Glow)
Appearance: FNaF 2
Rarity: 1/12
Basically they made everything green except the alternate stripes and his skin portions. His hair was changed to black though. Similar to Marionette, they put some extra work into this one. I like how it turned out.

Character: Cupcake (Glow)
Appearance: FNaF 2
Rarity: 1/12
The cupcake now has a green motif, except for the blue eyes. The alternate stripes aren't present, giving the translucent look to it.

Character: Springtrap
Appearance: FNaF 3
Rarity: 1/12
This is one of my favorites. All the marks are colored black along with the wires. The belly, ears, and eye lids are colored green. It looks nice with all the black against the translucent white.


Conclusion

A neat series and had some unique design choices. They actually glow pretty decently in the dark. I'd recommend not constantly keeping them exposed to sunlight too long though. I'll give my rankings as Best and Favorites (1 being top):

Top 5 Best:
1. Springtrap (Glow)
2. Marionette (Glow)
3. Balloon Boy (Glow)
4. Cupcake (Glow)
5. Mangle (Funtime) (Glow)

Top 5 Favorites:
1. Springtrap (Glow)
2. Marionette (Glow)
3. Mangle (Funtime) (Glow)
4. Foxy (Glow)
5. Toy Bonnie (Glow)


I hope you enjoyed the review.  Keep on the look out for Series 2's reviews in the future! Thanks again!
