Toy Review: Funko Mystery Mini Retro Games

I’m a complete sucker for blind boxes — especially when they’re on clearance at my grocery store and are retro gaming-themed. While I tend to dabble more on the pinball side of things, I do genuinely love retro video games and arcade cabinets. The packaging for this Funko Mystery Mini blind box is awesome — it looks like an old arcade cab, specifically Dig Dug from Namco.

Honestly, Funko did an exceptional job with the packaging. I didn’t want to open it just because it looks so cool, but I needed to know what toy was inside. You could get any of the 12 on the back, and I was slightly hoping for Pac-Man.

So, naturally, I got Dig Dug out of the Dig Dug blind box. I didn’t buy any of the others, so I have no idea if the Pac-Man box comes with Pac-Man. But this was largely anti-climactic. That being said, the toy is stupidly cute. Look at how determined he is to dig. The design is simple and executed well, and it even stands nicely on his own. For $2, I can’t really complain. He makes an excellent addition to my toy shelf. If you find these out in the wild, they are worth buying. I may just go back and get the rest of the set today!

Funko Pop Versions of the Royal Family Coming in February

Funko is releasing the Royal Family in Pop form. The figures will be available in February, before the big Royal Wedding between Prince Harry and actress Meghan Markle in May.

I have to say, walking into a store and asking if they have the Chase Diana Princess of Wales Pop is going to be hilariously awkward for some people. They nailed the looks of their real-life counterparts, though. Prince William especially looks great as a Funko Pop. The Kate Middleton one will sell like crazy. I only wonder why they didn’t produce a Meghan Markle — they would sell a ton of those in the spring. Maybe there will be a wedding set! I desperately want to see pictures of the Queen holding her own Funko Pop.

These are an interesting choice of Pop — kind of like when they did the election ones here in the US last year. Those were pretty popular, so maybe these will be, too.

You can preorder them right here.
