Five Nights at Freddy's Mystery Minis - Series 7 - Introduction

Funko announced a new series off the heels of Pizzeria Simulator in July 2019. It felt like we just got Pizzeria Simulator, and to our surprise there was more! Not quite what we expected though, as this series was simply a glow variant of figures in the Pizzeria Simulator series.

It consisted of 12 from the Pizzeria Simulator figures in the normal Retail release (no exclusives). They even used the same rarities from that series too. There were no store exclusives for the series. They were slightly less easily available than the Pizzeria Simulator wave was, at least based on my personal experience. I rarely saw these in stores in a case of 12. If memory serves, I only saw them at Gamestop, Walmart, Barnes & Nobles, and maybe Target. I'm sure others have different experiences and it could have just been my area. Regardless, my point is I remember not seeing as many of these out there compared to the first Glow variant series.

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).

Description:
"Add these Five Nights at Freddy's Simulator Glow Mystery Minis to your collection." [1]
"Build your own pizzeria with the Five Nights at Freddy's team with these glow in the dark Mystery Minis of: Mr. Hippo, Rockstar Chica, Rockstar Foxy, Rockstar Freddy, Lefty, Funtime Chica, Rockstar Bonnie, Pigpatch, Helpy, Orville Elephant, El Chip, and Happy Frog." [3]

They were definetly less promoted than the Blacklight wave. In my opinion this was becasue they felt less interesting and even lesser in quality. I even forgot to announce them on this blog when revealed (to be fair I haven't done a great job in the first place..). I won't hold back my punches, but I do have some good things to say about this series! It is again a good selection of characters like the regular Pizzeria Simulator.

I'll share all those thoughts and more in my review of these figures in the (hopefully) near future!  Thank you for your time!
