What's New in 2021, Scooby-Doo?

We all know 2020 was a tough year and I'm sure most of us are happy to move forward into a new year and hopefully some better days ahead. I'm not sure that we'll really notice much of a difference in 2021 until closer to the end of the year, still having to wear masks and social distance, but I hope that things will get better sooner than later. 



One of the things that helped me get through 2020 was Scooby-Doo and 2021 should be just as exciting in the Scooby world. Here are some of the things we can expect in the world of Scooby this year: 

Scooby-Doo! and Guess Who? The Complete First Season
Scooby-Doo! and Guess Who? The Complete First Season was released on DVD on January 19, 2021. The DVD includes 26 22-minute episodes: 

1.Revenge of the Swamp Monster!

Werewolf Funko Pop Soda


Funko Fair launched on January 19, 2021. The sneak peak video released by Original Funko included this Werewolf Funko Soda Pop figure. The figure went on sale for preorder on the 19th for $11.99 and it sold out very quickly. It is supposed to be released in April 2021. 

Scooby-Doo! The Board Game
CMON Games created a Kickstarter to get pledges to back their cooperative Scooby-Doo board game. If you chose to back the game, as I did, you get amazing hand painted characters, the game board, cards, and a really cool glow-in-the-dark box. Pledges ended on January 20th, but the game isn't expected until November 2021. 

Scooby-Doo Valentine's Merchandise






The year has brought us a bunch of merchandise from Walmart, Dollar Tree and other stores for Valentine's Day. Plush, gift sets, bags...lots of Scooby stuff to add to the collection. While it's not always easy to find the merchandise at your local store, it's nice that the Scooby community works together and will help each other out to get it. 

Scooby-Doo! The Sword and the Scoob


Scooby-Doo! The Sword and the Scoob is an original movie that will be released on DVD on February 23, 2021. The movie will be a medieval mystery where the gang travels to England, meets a sorceress and travels back in time. The movie was announced on December 10, 2020 along with the first trailer

The Batman & Scooby-Doo! Mysteries Comic Book Series


A new comic book crossover series is coming! The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries will include 12 comics by DC and will feature Batman, Scooby-Doo, Shaggy and Velma. There has been no mention of Daphne or Fred for the series yet. Have they been left out?

The first comic in the series goes on sale April 13, 2021. 

Scooby-Doo! and Courage the Cowardly Dog

We have been hearing that a Scooby-Doo/Courage the Cowardly Dog crossover movie is coming in 2021, through no date has been determined. I'm not even sure if this has been confirmed by WB, so we will have to see what the future holds with this one. 

That's all I have for now for 2021. Keep an eye out on my blog and social media sites for more news.
