What's New in 2022, Scooby-Doo?

We made it through 2021! Another tough year with Covid! Plus, we've seen cases creeping into 2022, though, hopefully, this year will be much better! 

Happy 2022!!! Here is some of the Scooby-Doo stuff that is coming up this year!!

SCOOB! Holiday Haunt

On December 22, 2021, we found out that HBO Max will be streaming SCOOB! Holiday Haunt in late 2022. The film will feature the gang as kids. 

"To celebrate Scooby Doo's first Christmas, 10-year-old Shaggy and the gang take him to a holiday-themed resort owned by Fred's favorite Uncle Ned. When the park is beset by a ghostly haunting, the kids must solve a 40-year-old mystery to save the resort and show Scooby the true meaning of Christmas."

 

 Figures Toy Company - New Scooby Villain Figures

Figures Toy Company will be releasing some really cool figures this year! They have already announced Redbeard the Pirate, Redbeard's Ghost and Frankenstein and Wolfman from A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts. Be sure to keep an eye on their Twitter page for more announcements coming, like Carlotta the Gypsy and possibly even Dracula. 

You can check out our Scooby Panel interview with Chris DePetrillo from Figures Toy Company on YouTube or on most podcast platforms. 

Scooby-Doo Valentine Merchandise

Like every year, there are some Scooby-Doo Valentine's Day products that have been released for 2022. 

This year's greeter is the SCOOB! version, with his sad puppy dog eyes, holding a letter in his mouth. He is sold exclusively at Walmart for $20.00, though people are buying him and selling him on eBay and Mercari for 2-3 times its value!

Another Scooby Valentine's plush was released this year. This one was sold at Weis, the grocery store, for $18.00 and features Scooby singing "Be My Baby" and side stepping. 

A gift set was released as well. The set includes a plastic water bottle, a puzzle, stickers and jumbo chalk in a tin for $12.98.

And finally SCOOB! Valentine's cards with stickers for $2.48. 

Trick or Treat Studios - New Masks

Trick or Treat Studios released their 2022 catalog, which shows the Scooby-Doo masks and costumes on pages 17 and 18. While most of them looked like ones we have seen before, 3 of them stood out as new - The Caveman, the Zombie and the Witch. These masks are incredible! Be sure to keep an eye on their website for the new masks. 

Handmade By Robots - Velma and The Mystery Machine

Handmade By Robots commented on a post on Instagram by @theartofscoobydoo and said that, in addition to the Scooby-Doo and Shaggy knit looking figures they released in December, they will be releasing Velma and The Mystery Machine in May! I can't wait to see what they look like and purchase them, of course! 

Funko Glow-In-The-Dark Phantom Shadow

Funko Pop News! posted on Twitter on December 25, 2021 that a new glow-in-the-dark Phantom Shadow will be released by Funko. No other information, like when or where, was released. 

Scooby-Doo! Where Are You - The Complete Series (Blu-Ray)

Scooby-Doo! Where Are You The Complete Series is coming to Blu-Ray on March 1, 2022. According to blu-ray.com, the 4-disc set will include 3 seasons of the show. 

Batman & Scooby-Doo! Mysteries #11 & #12 

The final 2 issues of the Batman & Scooby-Doo! Mysteries comic will be released on February 8 & March 8, 2022 and the covers have been revealed. I wonder when we will see them cross paths again! 

Daphne & Velma: Buried Secrets

Will Daphne & Velma: Buried Secrets (Book #3) be released this year? Scholastic has been putting off the release of the book, according to the author, Morgan Baden. It was supposed to be released last year and then it just wasn't. Let's hope we see this in 2022!

Scooby-Doo! And the Lost City of Gold - Live Stage Show

The Scooby-Doo! and the Lost City of Gold live stage show was supposed to open March 19, 2020, however, Covid forced them to cancel all of the shows. They rescheduled them and the show opens on January 25, 2022 in Roanoke, Virginia. For more details or to get tickets, check out their website. 

Scooby-Doo & Krypto Crossover Movie?

In June, 2021, Editor Annie De Brock posted on her website that she was working on a Scooby-Doo & Krypto crossover movie and it was coming in 2021. The movie was not confirmed by WB and wasn't listed anywhere else. Is the movie still coming? While Annie's website used to name the movie as Scooby-Doo! and Krypto Too!, it now says Scooby Doo DTV. 

Velma

The Velma series was announced on February 10, 2021 with very few details. It would be an adult animated HBO Max 10 episode origin story that would focus on Velma, who would be voiced by Mindy Kaling, and she would have a colorful past. 

On June 10, 2021, we learned that Velma would be of East Asian descent and the show wouldn't include Scooby or The Mystery Machine. 

August 16, 2021, they gave more information on the characters, including Shaggy, Daphne and Fred, which was disturbing to say the least.  

No release date has been announced, so I guess we have to wait and see on this one!

Mindy Kaling appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers on July 23, 2021 and she claimed she loves Velma! My question is, if she loves Velma so much, why is she changing everything about her? She is essentially creating a whole new character but using the Velma name. It frustrates me so much when people do that. If you love a character so much, you should be building on them, not recreating them. 

We are only 19 days in to 2022 and I wonder what else is coming for us Scooby-Doo fans! What are you most excited to see out of everything listed? 

My Scooby Stuff - Item 389 - Scooby-Doo, Where Are You T-Shirt

Item 389 - Scooby-Doo, Where Are You T-Shirt

I got this Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! shirt at the BoxLunch store. The shirt features the Phantom Shadow from the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode 'A Night of Fright is no Delight.' The gang is also featured, however, they used the characters from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated instead of the version from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, which is odd since the shirt specifically says "Scooby-Doo...Where Are You!'

Here is a closer look at the picture on the shirt.

The inside of the shirt is stamped with the BoxLunch logo, the Scooby-Doo! logo and has the copyright and material info. The shirt is copyright 2019, made in Mexico and made of 100% cotton.  I got extra large because the shirts seem to run small and it didn't look like the medium size would actually fit.

The back of the shirt is plain.

My Scooby Stuff - Item 374 - Scooby-Doo! 50 Cartoon Collection DVD

Item 374 - Scooby-Doo! 50 Cartoon Collection DVD

This DVD features 50 Scooby-Doo cartoons throughout the years. From Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! to Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!, this DVD has a lot of Scooby-Doo episodes, however, it is missing episodes from The New Scooby-Doo movies (most likely because the new DVD's were just released in June), Laff-A-Lympics and the 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo. The cardboard sleeve has a 50th Anniversary logo sticker on it. The DVD was released on August 13, 2019.

The DVD doesn't really have any special features. It only has 2 trailers, one for LEGO Batman: Batman - Family Matters and one for Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost, which I think is odd since the 13th Ghost movie came out in February of 2019. The only languages available are English and French, and some of the episodes (marked with ** below) are not available in French.

The back of the sleeve has pictures of the gang and some scenes from the episodes, a brief synopsis of the DVD spanning through the 50 years of Scooby-Doo, and the copyright info.

On the inside of the DVD case, there are 5 discs. I was a bit disappointed that there was no list of episodes or any other information about the DVD. I went through each DVD to make the list of episodes on each disc. This picture shows disc 1.

My Scooby Stuff - Day 358 - A Clue for Scooby-Doo Ornament

Day 358 - A Clue for Scooby-Doo Ornament

Merry Christmas Eve! Every Christmas Eve for the past 16 years we have given our kids and ourselves ornaments and pajamas. I got this awesome Hallmark A Clue for Scooby-Doo ornament. It features Scooby on a surf board being chased by the Ghost of Captain Cutler from the Scooby-Doo! Where Are You! episode A Clue for Scooby-Doo. The ornament measures 3 1/2" wide by 2 3/4" tall.

Here are the front and back views.

From the side you can see Scooby is being chased.

And from this side it looks like the Ghost of Captain Cutler is close to catching Scooby.

This ornament is copyright 2018.

The front of the box has a picture of the ornament.

The back of the box has a short bio about the artist, Anita Marra Rogers.

The sides of the box both say Keepsake.

The top of the box says 2018 and will eventually have an "N" on it!

The bottom of the box has the copyright date, 2018. The ornament cost $17.99 in the US and $23.99 in Canada.

My Scooby Stuff - Day 174 - Where Are You Comic 8

Day 174 - Where Are You Comic 8

Charlton Comics Scooby-Doo...Where Are You! number 8. This comic includes 2 stories - The Ghost of Grizzly Gulch! and Time Machine Trauma. The Mystery Machine is green in this one too.

The cover features all 5 members of the gang. It sold for 30 cents. Wouldn't it be nice if comics were 30 cents now?

This comic is copyright June 1976.

My Scooby Stuff - Day 147 - The Miniature Haunt Comic

Day 147 - The Miniature Haunt Comic

I got this comic yesterday at the Fairpoint Toy Show. We searched through a ton of boxes to find some Scooby comics. I only found 2. The comic was $6, but I got it for $3 because they were 1/2 off. I love that the comic is purple! The cover is interesting.

The Mystery Machine is pink and green in this comic, which is really weird. Why did they choose pink? Was that an original concept for the Mystery Machine or was it just done this way for the comic?

This comic is copyright 1972 and printed in the USA.
