Five Nights at Freddy's Mystery Minis - Quidd

Last Updated: 08/10/2018

Recently I've discovered there is an application called Quidd which has 3D models of FNaF Mystery Minis. (you have to download it as an app through Google Play or Apple).

(I'm not sponsoring Quidd or anything, just posting what I found)

It is pretty neat in it's own right, but what interest me is there are several models of unreleased figures. You can select a figure and rotate it around in a 3D space, along with zooming in and out. If this interests you, I'd totally recommend trying this app out if you can. It's free and you can preview the figures you don't have, so no need to rush to collect them. How I came across Quidd was other people online posting about some of these unreleased figures, such as Bidybab. Below are each of the box collections with a picture of the figures, their names, and their quote.

Five Nights at Freddy's Mystery Minis - Series 1 - Intro.

In August 2014, a game was released which started a franchise that bloomed in popularity. That game was Five Nights at Freddy's. I was a fan of the game since day one, finding it creepy and interesting for what it was. It was a game series that I was anticipating merchandise of for a little while. I didn't have to wait long, nor the many that also were craving merchandise, because Funko jumped on that train when they announced a ton of merchandise in early 2015. Some of that merchandise was a line of Mystery Minis.

In January 2015, a Funko catalog was leaked which contained early promotional images of the Mystery Minis, seen below. Big thanks to Negaduck9 for saving this image. It was really hard to find in this high of quality.

Horror Classics Mystery Minis - Series 2 - Review (Part 1)

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

There are 20 figures in total within Funko's Horror Classic's Series 2 Mystery Mini set. This review will be broken into parts, where Part 1 will cover the first 10. I'll list them in order of date of first appearance. However, Alfred Hitchcock kind of throws a wrench in that plan. To mend this I'll treat Alfred Hitchcock as 'first appearing' in his television show "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" (1955). Likewise, I'll say Cthulhu first appeared in H.P. Lovecraft's story "The Call of Cthulhu" as part of the magazine Weird Tales (1928).
Alrighty then, let's get right on into those figures!

Character: Graf Orlok (Count Orlok)
Appearance: Nosferatu (movie, 1922)
Rarity: 1/24
One of the, if not the, oldest vampire to show up in movie history. This figure is great for several reasons. It captures his creepy vibe, the pose is nice, and the figure is on the taller side too! The small detailed fangs are neat, and how they made his fingers extra long and pointy. A character that can't get any more 'horror classic' than this! Now I'll be waiting for another classic: Dr. Caligari! Those Germans and their cool horror movie monsters!
