Five Nights at Freddy's Mystery Minis - Series Blacklight 1 - Introduction

In 2017, Funko released a set of Five Nights at Freddy's (FNaF) plushies which glow under blacklight. They were vibrant, neon variations of previous plushies, mostly of Freddy and Foxy. They were Funko original creations in terms of color choices. Later in 2018 Funko took this to a new height with more merchandise of blacklight variants for figures, POP figures, and mystery minis. The range of characters and colors was wider this time around. The mystery minis were repaints of the Series 1 mystery minis similar to the Glow Series. Below are some promotional images of the minis.

Five Nights at Freddy's Mystery Minis - Series 3 - Review (Part 2), Conclusion

(If you haven't already, feel free to check out the Introduction Post and Part 1)

In the last review, we went over the first 12 figures in the FNaF Series 3 Mystery Minis. These last 9 are based off of artwork for characters in the FNaF: The Silver Eyes and FNaF: The Twisted Ones. The artwork for the three toys in The Silver Eyes (who also were in The Twisted Ones) were posted in The Freddy Files book. The artwork for the five Twisted animatronics were based off the promotional artwork used for the books. The only one I am not sure on is the Springtrap. There is no (published) promotional art for him besides the recent The Fourth Closet poster artwork. The figure itself seems to be based off his demise in The Silver Eyes versus his resurgence in The Twisted Ones in my opinion due to the anguished look on him. Based off that alone I'll say he's based off The Silver Eyes appearance.

Anyways, enough rambling about continuity and designs, onto the review!


Character: Theodore
Appearance: FNaF: TSE
Rarity: 1/24 (Gamestop only)
This is the decrepit, toy rabbit Charlie owns in The Silver Eyes book. As stated at the top of the post, it's based off the artwork in The Freddy Files. The figure translates well from that artwork and still maintains the style of the mystery minis. It's not small like Plushtrap, but more the size of Toy Bonnie. It's a great figure and has nice, simple details (such as the cracks around the design). The nose on the ones I got were always off-center. I can't tell if that was a factory error or intentional for the design, but just something to note. It's my favorite of the three toy designs!
