That's right, Character Building in the US, finally! Saw the Scooby sets last week. Drac's castle, a jungle chase, large pirate ship, and very nifty build-a-trap type set. Pretty decent, though the jungle chase is the least impressive (a 4x4 & ski boat w panther and shark villains?). The others though just don't compare to, say, Lego's Monster Fighters in quality and design. The scooby sets are far nicer than Kre-O's Invasion sets as far as monster stuff goes.
No sign of the Mystery Machine or bi-plane yet, though I actually found the micro fig blind bags today at TRU. With no clear codes (just the feel test which doesn't work for me lol) I did something I never do - I blindly bought 12 bags!
Of the 12, I got 4 doubles :/
Ghost Clown x2
Yeti x2
Frankenstein x2
Red Eye (Skeleton) x2
Green Eye (Skeleton)
Sasquatch
Mancrab
Wolfman
For those excited about a normal Daphne in this scale...apparently Daphne and Velma are the shortpacked Rares and only available via blind bags so far.
I still don't know how I feel about these. I initially thought the gigs would look nice with the Lego Monster Fighter sets. But the non-blocky mini fig look with the blocky looking sets...the rarity of 2/5 of the Scooby Gang...and the odd mix of classic, new and what appears to be straight up repaint monster characters (Yeti/Sasquatch, Redbeard/Blackbeard, Lagoon Creature/Bayou Beast)...I just don't know.
Also there are new Mystery Mates sets out - same characters again but this time there appears to be articulation as well as second human/secret identity reveal heads for the monsters!
