My Scooby Stuff - Item 401 - Playmobil Figure Packs

Item 401 - Playmobil Figure Packs

I got 22 Playmobil blind packs from Walmart and opened them all tonight! I am a little disappointed that I am still missing 3 of them - Black Knight, Tiki and Space Kook!

These are the ones I got - Ghost Clown (4), Indian Doctor (3), Ghost Diver (2), The Caretaker (Miner 49er) (1), Carlotta (2), Headless Horseman (1), The Creeper (2), Zen Tuo (3) and Snow Ghost (4).

Sadly, the Headless Horseman's "stem" on the top of the pumpkin was broken off.

Each figure came with a sticker and a ghost card in a package that had a number set on the back. While it looks like the numbers match, there was one number set that had 2 different figures in it.

I kept track as I opened them, and 288 19U 313 had the Snow Ghost and Headless Horseman in it. And some of the figures fell under more than 1 number. So, do the numbers really mean anything? I think they might, but they didn't make it that easy where 1 number corresponds to 1 figure.

I took the display box for the blind packs too so I have it for my collection. It will be a nice place to store the figures in their bags.

Each figure also came with this sheet that shows all of the figures and gives general directions on how to put them together.

The back of the sheet has info about the Mystery Machine set and the poster for the stickers. The figures are copyright 2019/2020 and made in Malta. The figure packages have both years as the copyright and the insert has 2020 as the copyright.

My Scooby Stuff - Item 400 - Scooby Hearts Valentine Card

Item 400 - Scooby Hearts Valentine's Card

I found this Hallmark Scooby-Doo Valentine card at Walmart. The card has Scooby sitting with hearts around his head. Scooby is fuzzy to the touch. The hearts are shiny on the card.

The back of the card shows the back of Scooby and info about the card. The card is copyright 2015, though I found it in 2020. The card was made in China and it says on the back it is "made with paper from well-managed forests."

You can see a little better here how shiny the hearts are on the card.

What's New in 2020, Scooby-Doo?

It's finally 2020 and it's a big year for Scooby! While last year was Scooby's 50th anniversary, 2020 will bring a new theatrical movie and hopefully lots of merchandise.

SCOOB!

SCOOB is the upcoming movie that will be released in theaters on May 15, 2020 and will tell the story of how Scooby met Shaggy, Fred, Daphne and Velma. The movie was originally supposed to be released on September 21, 2018, but the date got pushed back.

There has been a lot of controversy over the voice actors WB decided to use for the movie. Instead of using the normal voice actors we all know and love for the characters, WB decided it would be better for sales if they got more well known actors.

The voice actors include:

Frank Welker as Scooby-Doo
Will Forte as Shaggy Rogers
Iain Armitage as young Shaggy Rogers
Zac Efron as Fred Jones
Pierce Gagnon as young Fred Jones
Gina Rodriguez as Velma Dinkley
Ariana Greenblatt as young Velma Dinkley
Amanda Seyfried as Daphne Blake
Mckenna Grace as young Daphne Blake
Tracy Morgan as Captain Caveman
Kiersey Clemons as Dee Dee Sykes
Ken Jeong as Dynomutt, Dog Wonder
Mark Wahlberg as Blue Falcon
Jason Isaacs as Dick Dastardly

Are you excited for Scoob? What do you think about the casting for the movie?

Playmobil

Warner Bros. announced in June, 2019 that they would be partnering with Playmobil to make a line of Scooby-Doo toys. Those toys have finally been released as of a few days ago and they are making their way to Walmart stores.

Series 1 features The Mystery Machine, which includes Fred, Daphne and Velma figures, a ghost set with Scooby and Shaggy and blind packs that have a mystery figure inside. There are 12 mystery figures in all.

With this being series 1, I wonder if we can expect a series 2 in the Scooby line. I looked on the Playmobil website, but they don't have the Scooby-Doo sets listed as of today.

I think my favorite part of the whole set is the Scooby Snacks that come in the ghost pack! 

The Scooby-Doo Playmobil sets are exclusive to Walmart through May, 2020.

Official Scooby-Doo Commemorative

This Scooby-Doo Commemorative by The Westminster Collection is officially licensed by Warner Bros. to celebrate Scooby's 50th Anniversary. It is plated in 24-Carat Gold measuring 40x40mm, with one side showing Scooby-Doo in all color and the other side displaying the Scooby-Doo dog-tag emblem.

According to The Westminster Collection website, the coin will ship on January 17, 2020.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but this is a lot of what is going on in the Scoobyverse in 2020. I'm excited for what 2020 holds and hoping for some amazing new merchandise!!

My Scooby Stuff - Item 399 - Scooby-Doo Mashems

Item 399 - Scooby-Doo Mashems

I finally opened the Mashems I've had for quite some time. I've been meaning to open them for a while, but I wanted to do a video of it and it's usually not quiet in my house. Everyone was either out or sleeping today, so I had the perfect opportunity to open them and do my video.

Mashems are squishy, water filled things that also feel kind of sticky. They are kind of weird. You can clean them with warm water, which you'll probably have to do if you leave them exposed as hair and dust cling to them pretty easily.



Check out my YouTube video of me opening them.

I had a total of 32 Mashems to open. One of the eggs was already opened a week ago just so I could make sure they would be easy and not that I'd have a major issue when I did the video. The one that was already opened was Fred.

I ended up with 1 complete set, and a ton of Fred's haha. I had 32 total and I got 1 Mystery Machine, 3 Velma, 12 Fred, 5 Scooby, 4 Daphne and 7 Shaggy. I was hoping for more Mystery Machines, but I'm happy I got at least 1. There was someone on Facebook that has been looking for a Velma, so I'm excited I got more than 1 so I can send him one so he also has a complete set.

Both sides of the box are the same, they show the Mashems and a picture of the gang.

These are technically the front and back of the box the Mashems came in. Each box came with a Scooby, so technically I have 9 Scooby's. I have 4 boxes which I took from Walmart. When I bought the Mashems I took the boxes too, and no one said anything, so I'm assuming it was ok.

If you watched my video, you'll hear that I kept saying I didn't expect them to be so squishy and sticky. If I had paid attention to the box, it says they are squishy.

Here is a close up of the box showing what they look like.

Scooby!

Shaggy!

Fred!

Daphne!

This is the egg each character came in and the wrapper on the egg.
