Anyone else seen these? I saw a post on Instagram that implied they may be exclusive to Walmart. They seem to be sized to match MUSCLE, come in 3-packs for $3.47, and are by the cash registers if you can find them.  12 figures, seemingly 8 or so colorways, not sure if it's random or not.  

 

I'm hoping to put together a set of them in "flesh" at least.  The Space Kook is really something.

This may or may not be helpful - I've found the https://goto.walmart...ghts/3032870309 Walmart.com store tracker that says "in stock" to be nothing but false positives. But you can order 'em online.

The missus found some at the beginning of the month at one of the three local walmarts and picked them up.

Haven't seen them restock but we did clear out the one that had them the others haven't gotten them in yet and we went to a couple out of town as well.

 

The Odd thing is we aren't missing many but it seems like the ones we didn't get in the Mystery Machines were the ones that were the display figures on the front of the box.

 

 

We did a bit of an unboxing also.

Hey all, new member here. I've been patiently waiting for these to show up at my local store for a few weeks now, but no dice. 

I learned from my local store manager that these are apparently stocked by a third-party vendor, so could be a day, could be three more weeks just all depends on when the vendor receives stock and gets around to stocking the open spot on the shelf.

This is true but it seems to only work for local PU and delivery.
I tried adding 11 pc. to my cart (min for free shipping / also, FWIW 12pc is the max per order), but as soon as I tried to proceed to ship to my out of state address on file, it updates the cart as out of stock. 

[BaltanII]

Link doesn't work for me at all.

[jason76basin]

just to chime in.... still none found in northeast tennessee nor southwest virginia area.

[PapaB]

As far as I can tell they still haven't made their way into Walmart across a number of states. 

You can use the product page and check availability nearby and use surrounding Zip codes to sniff them out:

[whatisthis]

None on my local Wally shelves

I had the same problem, then realized that when searching walmart's website it defaults to the store most local to you. Once I started searching through various other zip codes I came up with some showing in stock in southwestern New Hampshire.

 

Like PapaB said, you can only order up to twelve through the online service, and they were only available for local pick up.

 

I bought twelve for pick up and went on a road trip. Got those at the curbside pick up then went in to see if they had any more on the shelf. Found three more and snagged the case they came in as well:

So, I found 15 packs and a display case in the wild so far. I haven't opened any yet but can see at a glance that a few of them have clear figures in the mix.

I plan to keep searching other stores any chance I get, and to check back at the NH store to see if they restock.

Neither Walmart link in this thread works for me as in "This page could not be found", and I have no idea what to search to pull up the item listing. What are you all doing differently that this works?

This is what it looks like using the mobile website. It looks similar enough on the desktop site that these directions should help either way.

Click on the first walmart link in this thread. This one: https://goto.walmart...ghts/3032870309

The page this brings you to is already a search result for "Scooby Doo Tiny Mights" (note the URL) and is based on the inventory of a specific walmart. This would be based on either your current location or the location of the last walmart that you searched or ordered something from. This is denoted near the top of the page as a zip code.

 

For demonstration purposes, let's use the greater Boston area, though the basic concept should apply wherever your starting location may be.

 

If that particular store does not have or plan to have the item in stock, you will get a page that looks something like this:
 search1.png   480.5K   4 downloads

In order to search for the same item at a different store location, click on the arrow near the zip code:
 search1b.png   482.44K   4 downloads

You should see something like this:
 search2.png   557.02K   3 downloads

Click on the arrow next to the store location:
 search2b.png   559.09K   3 downloads

This should give you a list of stores near to your most recently searched location, listed by distance:
 search3.png   548.37K   3 downloads

To make searching a bit easier, you can switch to map view by clicking the button:
 search3b.png   553.16K   2 downloads
And you should see something like this:
 search4.png   1.23MB   2 downloads

At this point you choose another store.

If the store you choose does not have them in stock you will get the same page as the first image I posted.
Repeat the previous steps to search other nearby stores. You can widen your search to other areas as well using a zip code in the search bar above the map.

Once you do land on a store that does have them, or is scheduled to have them in stock, you should get a page that looks like this:
 search5.png   655.65K   2 downloads

Close the damned search bar:
 search5b.png   657.42K   3 downloads

This is the inventory page:

Searching around southern New England and eastern NY via the website has shown some results of stores stocking them around the CT/MA/RI tri-state area. The actual distribution among stores seems sparse, at least at this point. In this area these seem to be more likely found at the larger supercenters, as opposed to the regular stores.

It is also worth noting that I have yet to see any stores that give you the option to have them shipped, and only one so far that lets you buy them ahead of time for curb side pick up. This basically just tells you if a store had, does have, or might eventually have them in stock. It's up to the customer to get feet on the ground to retrieve them.

[BaltanII]

God, that's so helpful. Not a thing in my area, but at least now I know.

[jason76basin]

nothing here still

[fuzzbuster]

Glad that my search breakdown made sense. It's a little ass-backwards from usual store search engines.

 

I used this search the other day to track down another supercenter that had these in stock in eastern Mass. I was already on the road all day so I took a bit of a detour and was able to scoop up two more cases!

As you can see, I went ahead and opened any of the packs I got in my first haul that had any clear or glow-in-the-dark figures, overall ten out of fifteen packs. Ended up with a decent assortment of figures, at least two of each sculpt:

So far it looks as if there are 6 color variants, not including the two special colors; Green, blue, purple, red, yellow(ish), and OG keshi pale.

 

Here is the same array under a black light to highlight the GITD figs:

I hope these see a wider distribution soon. They are pretty sweet figures and well made. The only ones that had trouble standing are the Funland Robot.

[fleabitten]

Been checking every frickin day. Nothing in any NJ store at all yet.

[PapaB]

Ugh. Closest ones to me are over 3hrs away. 

Sitting here at 1 AM contemplating whether or not I make the trip and get this over with. 

 

But knowing my (*&@#$% luck, they's show up at my local store the next day. 

 

EDIT: Didn't go and they're still nowhere near me.
