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.

Description: "Don’t let their small size fool you.

Below is a comparison chart made to show corresponding merchandise to what the Mystery Minis were based off of, as well as other blacklight merchandise that don't have corresponding blacklights. Please note that I am using some images from source [1] [2] [3] and [4] below.

Most of it is pretty cut and dry, but there are some inconsistencies. They seem to interchange Freddy and Toy Freddy, as well as Chica and Toy Chica across the merchandise. The Toy Freddy is based off a Freddy coloration, and there is a Plush of Toy Chica that seems to be more based off the Chica MM figure. They even gave Chica cheeks like Toy Chica would usually have. It's strange, but then again in context these are strange mystery minis. I wouldn't mind seeing more of these in the future however.

In a future post I'll review all 14 of the Mystery Minis and provide further thoughts. Please stay tuned for that. In the mean time, thanks again for your time!
