If you're familiar with Peele's oeuvre, it won't surprise you that it starts out as a horror movie but then ends up an allegory about racism. And while, yes, the movie is incredibly good, at least part of the appeal had to be how unexpected it was: you have to remember that until that point, Jordan Peele was known as a broad comedic actor, so him directing a striking \"social thriller\" his first time out would be like one of the guys from <i>Dude, Where's My Car?<\/i> suddenly revealing themselves as a better director of Shakespeare than Kenneth Branagh.<\/p>\n<p><i>Get Out<\/i> stars Daniel Kaluuya as Chris Washington, a man who goes to visit his girlfriend's parents at their upstate New York home - <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9bmqr9Va7R8\" target=yt>with sexy results<\/a>! Sorry, scary: with scary results! The iconic image of the film is Chris sitting in a chair with tears running down his cheeks, and that's what the <i>Mystery Mini<\/i> gives us.<\/p>\n<p>This is actually a bit of a mixed representation: in the famous \"crying\" scene, Chris is wearing a gray hoodie; this one is from later in the film, near the end when the spoilers come in, so he's wearing his light blue shirt. Also he's strapped to the chair <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/funko_uhmm1_gocw2.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"195\" title=\"fancy little seat\" align=left style=\"margin:-1px 10px -5px 0px\">by his wrists and ankles.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Getout is <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=42958\">not<\/a> <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=32127\">the<\/a> <a href=\"\/blog\/?p=33739\">first<\/a> seated <i>Mystery Mini<\/i> - in fact, thanks to a 2016 Professor X, he's not even the first one in a chair! But it's still cool. The chair was designed especially for the film, and it's re-created fairly well for this figurine. <a href=\"https:\/\/propstore.com\/product\/get-out\/lot-107-missy-armitages-catherine-keener-screen-matched-hypnosis-chair\/\" target=_blank>The film version<\/a> was a mission-style chair with padding on the arms, vertical slats on the side, and wider legs in the front than in the back; this one has all four legs the same, and the rear of the chair is flat rather than having open horizontal slats. In a great attention to detail, the padding on the left arm of the chair has split open, and Chris is carefully picking the stuffing out. Great work!<\/p>\n<p>Chris is available in a 1:12 ratio, which means he's in every case, but having <b>four<\/b> 1:6 figures means he's still kind of hard to get.<\/p>\n<div class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Posts\"><H5>&lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;<\/H5><ul class=\"entry-meta\"><li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Walking Dead Mystery Minis: Burnt Walker review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2018\/10\/walking-dead-mystery-minis-burnt-walker-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Walking Dead Mystery Minis: Burnt Walker review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Fallout 4 Mystery Minis - Mr. Handy review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2020\/05\/fallout-4-mystery-minis-mr-handy-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Fallout 4 Mystery Minis - Mr. Handy review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Frozen Mystery Minis - Marshmallow review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2018\/01\/frozen-mystery-minis-marshmallow-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Frozen Mystery Minis - Marshmallow review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Deadpool Nerdy 30 Mystery Minis - Sherlock Deadpool review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2024\/10\/deadpool-nerdy-30-mystery-minis-sherlock-deadpool-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Deadpool Nerdy 30 Mystery Minis - Sherlock Deadpool review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Marvel Zombies Mystery Minis - Hulk review\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2020\/10\/marvel-zombies-mystery-minis-hulk-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Marvel Zombies Mystery Minis - Hulk review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spill the tea, sis! &lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;Garbage Pail Kids Mystery Minis - Eerie Eric Rick and Morty Mystery Minis - The Vindicators Stranger Things Mystery Minis - Demogorgon review Walking Dead Mystery Minis: RV Walker review DC Bombshells &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2025\/10\/universal-horror-mystery-minis-chris-washington-get-out-review\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,250],"tags":[291],"class_list":["post-45930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog-exclusive-review","category-funko","tag-mystery-minis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45930"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45930\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45944,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45930\/revisions\/45944"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
