Five Nights at Freddy's Mystery Minis - Series 6 - Review (Part 2), Conclusion

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

This is a continuation of the the first series of the FNaF Pizzeria Simulator line of mystery minis. We reviewed the first 10 of the 18 figures in the first part, so lets get into the last 8 figures in this part!



Character: El Chip
Appearance: FFPS
Rarity: 1/12 (Retail Only)

I'm very happy they made El Chip as a Mystery Mini. His inclusion into the series was smart considering that he is a homage to Chipper from "Chipper & Sons" which ignited this series. I think this mini is really well detailed for adding his tail, his lute guitar, and sombrero. The yellow pins on his hate are off-center, which is actually accurate to the in game design. Very nice catch Funko! They nailed it!
 

Character: Funtime Chica
Appearance: FFPS
Rarity: 1/12 (Retail Only)
Another well designed Mystery Mini that looks just like how it should. She has the cupcake on a plate and posing with her hand on her hip like she does in the game. They even included the detail of her left chest plate being broken off. She doesn't have her feather arms like other Chicas, but that's alright considering both how those features would be hidden anyway. It's very minor and she looks closer to Toy Chica than FNaF1 Chica anyway. Either way, I'm so happy how consistent she is to the other Funtime minis. She looks great!

Character: Helpy
Appearance: FFPS
Rarity: 1/12
I was very happy that they made Helpy! He was one of my favorite characters in the game. They translated him into a Mystery Mini very well! He is slightly smaller than the other Mystery Minis, which is accurate and very much appreciated. The only major inconsistency is the inclusion of a stripe on his hat, as he doesn't have a stripe on his hat in the game. Very nice mini!

Character: Scrap Baby
Appearance: FFPS
Rarity: 1/12 (Gamestop Only)
This would have been such an easy Mystery Mini to mess-up, but instead Funko nailed it! They did a good job of condensing all those details on the design and simplifying them or removing them as they saw fit. I don't mind if there are less details not included for Scrap Baby since she's a complicated design. I think the final result turned out well! I especially like the little claw they gave her. She is honestly, in my opinion, one of the best FNaF Mystery Minis!

Character: Molten Freddy
Appearance: FFPS
Rarity: 1/12 (Gamestop Only)
I consider this one of the best FNaF Mystery Minis out there too! They nailed the design transition to Mystery Mini form. When I first got the mini, I thought they messed up his mask color. It is actually accurate to the game, since his mask does have a yellow-ish, off-white color in the game. The pose and sculpt are all nice. You can even see the eyes among his spaghetti-like body, just like Ennard! No complaints here he's one of my favorites of all time!

Character: Candy Cadet
Appearance: FFPS
Rarity: 1/36 (Gamestop Only)
This is another really well designed and executed Mystery Mini! I like how colorful it is, very closely matching the colorful appearance in game. They even included the 25¢ symbols on the front, which is so minor I could have seen them easily skip it. Also he is well proportioned as a Mystery Mini, which would have been easy to mess up on considering his oddly proportioned in game design. This is another Mystery Mini! Notice how all 3 Gamestop Exclusive Mystery Minis turned out so well? Gamestop got very lucky for this Series.

Character: Egg Baby
Appearance: FFPS
Rarity: 1/12 (Target Only)
An odd choice as a Mystery Mini, yet I like its inclusion. Funko tends to pick obscure characters in this line as figures, and considering all the characters are fairly equally 'obscure' (outside Helpy and the villains), this works. It is a rather hefty figure, and you can feel it while handling the unopened box. I like the colors and paint choices used. It has a mix of gloss and matte colors. The eyes are also much smaller than the in game model, which is usually the opposite for Mystery Minis. I wonder why? Either way, I think it turned out great.

Character: Fruit Punch Clown
Appearance: FFPS
Rarity: 1/36 (Target Only)
And I thought Egg Baby was odd- Here is another odd choice for the series! As you probably know, there was a Lemoande Clown in the game which was the same design as Fruit Punch Clown except with different colors (and obviously liquids..). It makes me wonder why they chose this one instead of Lemonade Clown? Or why not both? The only detail missing is the dispenser on the top of the belly. Also notice that it seems to be completely full of fruit punch, while in the game it is usually partially fully (his upper body is transparent in game). Interesting character selection, but a welcome one!

Conclusion

That's it for Part 2 of my review of the Freddy Fazbear Pizzeria Simulator figures! Funko really hit it out of the park for this series. They all looked great and, with a few exceptions, were very accurate to how they'd look as a Mystery Mini. I really appreciate them making all the Rockstars and Mediocre Melodies, and other attraction animatronics! Helpy, Molten Freddy, and Scrap Baby were must-haves for the series and the figures turned out nearly flawless.

Now, with that said, they missed out on one of the main villains and a popular character: Scraptrap, and Music Man. Their inclusion would complete the villains and the Posh Pizzeria groups. I thought they'd add them to a future series, but Funko moved onto make a Glow variant of this series.. and then silence for awhile.. They skipped those two characters and previously missing characters while moving onto the Security Breach series. Hopefully one day we'll get those two characters as Mystery Minis as I'd consider their inclusion as completing the FFPS core characters in my opinion. Security Puppet and the parrot for Rockstar Foxy would be great additions too if they were to include more. Lemonade Clown and the FFPS Paper Plate Pals would be good choices too considering they would be recolors of Fruit Punch Clown and the Twisted Ones Paper Plate Pals. Either way, very satisfied with how this series turned out!


Below I listed my personal ranking of the top five figures in terms of quality/design/creativity. I've broken this into a list of what I think are the best of the series, and what I consider to be my favorites (#1 being the top).

1. Molten Freddy
