Earlier this year, Hot Topic hit the jackpot with one of their hottest exclusives ever: the Funko Rainbow Deadpools POP Vinyls Mystery Boxes! But once we got three of the seven members of the Deadpool Mercs for Money team, we just had to get the other four, right…? And it looks like we are, as a second series of Funko Deadpool Mystery Boxes will be hitting stores later this month–including POP Stingray, Madcap, Slapstick and a “mystery” chase figure!
UPDATE 5/12/2016: The Hot Topic Exclusive Series 2 Deadpool Mystery POP Vinyls are now up for order online! These aren’t gonna last long, Funko fans, so if you want these blind boxes, now is the time! Ratios are 1:3 Madcap, 1:3 Slapstick, 1:3 Stingray and 1:24 Metallic Madcap Chase! How many boxes (if any) are -you- getting?
And due to the nature of some of these Deadpool Mercs for Money characters’ looks, I’m thrilled to say that this second series is actually going to contain a couple of new molds!
Four figures will make up this second series of Funko Mystery Deadpool POP Vinyls:
- Stingray (New Mold) — Orange Deadpool
- Madcap (New Mold) — Purple Deadpool
- Slapstick (Repaint with Hammer Instead of Sword) — Yellow Deadpool
- “Mystery Figure” (Chase)
Each of the first three figures will be “commons” with an even 1/3 ratio of being in the Deadpool blind boxes. These will be the first toys ever released for Slapstick and Madcap, as well as being one of the first mass-market Stingray items ever released (he’s previously had a Bowen Designs Stingray bust and also a non-articulated metal figure).
Now there’s a chase figure that I think is actually gonna be worth the fuss!
UPDATE 5/12: It’s now confirmed that the Chase figure in this series is actually a Metallic Madcap POP Chase. I’m astonished that the seventh figure in the Deadpool Mercs for Money Blind Box series is in fact not the seventh member of the team, Massacre. Astonished.
At least one Hot Topic store in the United States has already allowed some of the upcoming Deadpool Series 2 Mystery Box POPs to slip out, although I’ve heard that the official release date for the series is meant to be May 12th, 2016.
I’ll post an update once Funko confirms the release information for these Funko Series 2 Deadpool Mystery POP Vinyls, as well as sending out order links via the Marvel Toy News Twitter and Facebook Pages once the order links on the Hot Topic website go live.
Are you excited to see Funko finish off the Deadpool Mercs for Money POP Vinyls, Marvel collectors? Or, even with new molds, is this many rainbow Deadpools too much of a great thing?
I will definitely try to get these! One thing I noticed on the box is that Slapstick is carrying a hammer instead of a katana. I can’t tell if the actual figure has the hammer, but I think it’s safe to assume it does!
Got 10 boxes ordered, should be here in a week
This DP mystery series is totally more worth it than the previous one, as we’re getting all these new molds, for these obscure characters. And holy shit Massacre would be so cool to have.
The chase is a Metallic MadCap
Darn, as much as I love Madcap, I was really hoping for Masacre!
Getting 4. Hoping for the best. If you use SUNSET you get $10.00 off your order.
My wife picked up 3 today, all Stingrays. I’ll say it again all Stingrays. So I hit up Ebay and got Slapstick and Madcap for $12.24 each with free shipping.
I bought 10 online and they arrived yesterday. 8 Stingrays, 2 Slapsticks and 0 Madcaps, chase or otherwise. I think we’ve been duped on the 1:3 ratio they claim.
Bought 4 online. They arrived today. 2 Stingrays, 1 Slapstick and 1 Madcap. Would have loved a Metallic Slapstick but happy I got one of each of the commons.
I meant Metallic Madcap.
