Although we cover a lot of The Walking Dead vinyl figure releases from Funko, they also have plenty of figures from our favorite horror movies, with more on the way. Funko launched The Walking Dead Blind Box figures this Summer and they've announced that their horror collectibles are getting the Blind Box treatment as well.
For those who are not familiar with blind box figures, here’s what Funko’s designer Reis O’Brien told us during a recent interview:
“Blind Box toys are basically the three dimensional version of trading cards. You don’t know what you’re going to get when you buy it, and you’re always rooting for one that you need to complete your collection, and this includes some figures that are rarer than others.
Design-wise, the Walking Dead Blind Box figures are considerably different than the Pops in that they are much smaller (approximately 2.5”) and are done in a completely new style that I came up with specifically for this series…. There’s a total of 16 figures. 10 different figures with some blood-splattered and glow-in-the-dark variants.”
As you can see below, there are a number of variant figures, including blood-covered figures and a version of Jason based on the NES video game.
via Figures.com: "Joining Funko's blind boxed Mystery Minis series comes this 24 figure set of Horror Movie characters. Each figure in the Horror Movie Mystery Miniscollection stands 2.5" tall and includes such classic scream greats as Freddy Krueger, Json Voorhees, and Hannibal Lector. Look for these in stores August 15th."
