    It’s been pointed out to me that someone came into opening a Knuckle Kun standard color, and then an all gold version. I’ve yet to see extensive photos of either, so I can neither confirm nor deny.

    For U.K. and EU folks looks like Korekore has some of the minis too.

    @Bob I was surprised too and, for reference, the size is larger than the original, roaring and 'rug' versions.

    He's a big cash gobbling chunk o' vinyl!

    The mailman brought me 4 standard issue minis (eyeball, CB skull, clear yellow Frankie & unpainted Frankie). These are nice, high quality minis.
    Any chase figures out there?

    Heads up to anyone still looking, 3DRetro put some blind boxes up on their Popshop Live storefront—this is basically an allotment of stock available outside of their live feed. This inventory may change unexpectedly before, during, and after shows so I suggest you get them while you can.

    https://popshop.live/3dretro/storefront

    It's free to access. I don't believe having the app is a requirement anymore, but you might have to enter a phone number to verify your account. Payments are made by credit/debit card.

    I was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to score any of these and just got a case from their Popshop storefront. Good looking out!! 8)

    The minis are a lot of fun. I’m proper milking it too by only opening one a day. It’s testing my patience but it’s nice to have something to look forward to each day.

    You mean waking up and knowing you are alive is not enough?

    jk, It's not. Toys are better.

    Got my case of these in! They are very fun with the pop n swap, and the size makes them easily pocketable if that's you thing.

    No idea if case load outs matter since IDK if these will be available in person, but link below shows the spots mine were pulled from. No chases for me.

    Mint Frankie and Creature Bazaar skele are my favorites.

    I see the standard vulture behaviour is in full effect post Dcon - no surprise there! However, it did make me wonder:

    Does anyone know whether/when retailers will be getting the Knuckles Kustom Monster World v2 boxes?

    Bob's picture let me see that these minis have the perfect size to be carried around. Are they sold out already, please? I love the "Sick" guy!

    Saw on IG that wave 2 of minis was coming out, but stated that sales were limited to Japan. Hopefully the US stores that had the first wave will eventually get them.

    I got to see the second series of minis on display at DCon, as well as a handful of new full size releases in the case for “lotto”. They all look incredible. Fingers crossed it all gets a chance to see US soil for collectors! He’s been doin’ amazing at catering to his crowds in Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc!

    I swear I saw a post mentioning about 6 retailers that would be carrying them, but for the life of me, I can't find it. I know my plastic heart was on there, but don't recall the others.

    MPH had the first series, so I don’t see why they wouldnt carry the second.
