\"Funko<\/p>\n

Let's cast our minds back a full decade, to 2014. That's when the first series of Funko's Horror Classics Mystery Minis<\/i> was released, featuring very big figures, like Pennywise<\/a> or Leatherface<\/a>, very medium figures, like Hannibal Lecter<\/a> or Freddy Krueger<\/a>, and very small figures, like Sam<\/a> or Chucky.<\/p>\n

This is, obviously, the original Chucky - nobody care enough about the remake version to bother with that. In 1989, an Australian financier named Christopher Skase tried to buy MGM\/UA, the studio that made Child's Play<\/i>; he didn't like horror movies, so the head of United Artists simply gave the rights to the producers. For free. So while one group has the right to make all the sequels they want, UA still owns the original film, and is free to remake it if they want - that's why all the movies and TV shows with the killer doll now use the \"Chucky\" name, while the one about the murderous digital assistant was \"Child's Play.\"<\/p>\n

<\/a>The regular 2\/24 Chucky figure is standing with his left hand held forward and a knife clutched backwards in his right. He's clean and pristine, wearing his blue overalls, and the strips on his cuffs and his shirt sleeves are painted very nicely. At first it seems odd that a character as small as Chucky is looking down, not up, but remember that most of his kills are after he's knocked people down, so that makes sense. There's a 1\/144 chase variant available as well, which uses all the same molds, but paints some scars and stitches on his face and hands, for a Bride of Chucky<\/i> look.<\/p>\n

And hey, speaking of which...<\/p>\n

While Chucky<\/a> and (his variant) were available in Horror Classics Mystery Minis<\/i> Series 1 in 2014, it took until Series 3 for there to be a matching Tiffany - and even then, only as a Hot Topic exclusive. That doesn't seem fair, does it? On the plus side, all Hot Topic's exclusives in that series were in a 1:12 ratio<\/a>; unfortunately, each store only got a single case, so you had exactly one chance to get them and then they were gone. Unless for some reason somebody got Tiffany and then returned her, but what are the odds of that happening?<\/p>\n

The Bride of Chucky is looking just as good as the Husband of Tiffany did. The style had changed a little between Series 1 and Series 3, but not enough that the two of them don't look like they belong together. Tiffany is in her usual outfit, a doll's wedding dress worn beneath a black leather jacket. She's got her combat boots and fishnets, and gets black paint for her fingernails and lipstick. The hair is fully blonde, rather than having black roots, but they did do her scrawny eyebrows and the mole on her cheek, plus dark circles under her eyes. Even the bright red heart tattoo is present!<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, the figure's legs are sculpted separately, rather than doing the dress solidly. She's stepping forward, with her right leg emerging from a slit in the dress, so that one had to be sculpted; but the left leg, completely hidden? That's unexpected. Her jacket has raised zippers, the bodice of her dress has a sculpted pattern, and her stocking may look more like a spiderweb than a fishnet, but she's gothy enough that that makes sense. They've even sculpted her necklace! It's a shame so much effort went into something so hard to get.<\/p>\n
