Five Nights at Freddy's Mystery Minis - Series 6 - Introduction

Funko announced a new FNaF Mystery Mini series in December 2018. They slowly found their way onto store shelves in the first half of 2019. Some were also displayed in ToyFair 2019. It was the 6th Series (4th main Series) release, this time focused on characters in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator. Their arrival was much anticipated after the release of action figures, POPs, and keychains based off the same characters. It was a nice tease for things to come (and it being leaked beforehand).
 
Below are some promotional images of the series from Funko directly and online retailers (refer to [x] for image source, references posted at bottom of page).

One nice thing is there are no 1/72's. Four of the six store exclusives are 1/12 rarities, and the other two being 1/36. Not completely ideal in my opinion, but much, MUCH better than Series 3. I think Funko is listening to its fans.

Many noticed that Music Man and Scraptrap/William Afton are missing from the line-up. In my prediction post I state that I think they intentionally did this to save them for a future series. Overall the character selection is top notch and includes some nice surprises! I have minor nit-picks here and there though. Rockstar Fox and Nedd Bear could have used some more work. Others like Candy Cadet, Molten Freddy, the other Mediocre Melodies, etc. are all pretty spot-on though.

Anyway, I'll take a look at them in more detail in future posts. Thanks for stopping by in the mean time! Best of luck hunting them down!
