Scooby Doo Mystery Mates

[radioactivepress]

Does anyone have any of these figures? It looks like they were only released in the UK. I am considering picking some up and just wanted to make sure they were in the same scale as the heroes line of figures.

Here is a link to the product on the manufacturer's website.

Thanks for the link! I had seen these before but not the whole series. I particularily like the glow in the dark feature and the playsets.

They do look pretty cool!

Found these at TRU today. Two-packs are only $3.99, the sets with the van are $9.99 and they are so close to SHS scale I bought a couple for customs.

Thanks for the hint- was able to pick 6 sets up-- now to find a Fred and Daphne to close out the gang-- and of course any other monsters that come out.


Was tempted to pick up the haunted house-- but I had to pass.

Do Fred and Daphne for this line actually exist? I wouldn't mind having the whole gang but don't need a bunch of Scooby clones.

I saw the line in TRU, but like everyone else, no Fred or Daphne.

[jestergoblin]

Curses. I found a 10 pack online that's the whole gang and 5 monsters, but they want $50-$150 for it. Not worth it.

Ive heard of a multi pack - but Ive never seen it. Thats way too much tho.

As for the Fred or Daphne, Id say they are like the pink ranger (who ive never seen outside of the big set), but the back of the packaging suggests they come in specific 2-packs.

EDIT: Looking @ ebay, my guess is that theyre not part of the initial wave. Since theres at least 6 2-packs out. That makes for a decent case assortment.

Looks like we're getting a new phrase for the lexicon:

Pink Ranger Syndrome
When an essential figure in a group is available only in the multi-pack but the rest of the group is sold by themselves.

So I'll check with a few of my friends in the U.K. and see what I can find out. Could just be that the US is getting them last for once.

Anyone have photos of these figures with SHS?

[the7thcynic]

I love it - P.R.S.

[stewbacca]

I beleive these were originally released about 2 years ago-- that website seems to show more of the GITD figures which are repaints from the initial waves. So hopefully now that they have brought them to the US they will give us the other characters as well.

Mystery Mates Shaggy & Scooby! ZOINKS!



These figures aren’t terribly exciting but they have one big thing going for them: price. Retailing for $4 a pack, these two figures are the same price as one Hasbro Hero. Sure, the paint is kind of weak and they’re unarticulated, but being able to get these figures in this style for cheap makes them a fun little extra and allows for some very weird shenanigans between Doctor Doom and the Scoobies.

Screw Scooby-Doo - the monsters in these packs are awesome!

Beast from the Bottomless Lake? Such a great monster to have face off against Namor or Aquaman. Or anyone really!



At $4 a pack, this is a steal. jestergoblin.com/?p=6284

Another downside to this line is the fact they have 4 fingers and a thumb. But the price is great. Ikeep passing on them in hopes of something better. I would love the fred daphne pack. Mostly because it doesn't seem to excist.
