That's why we've reviewed dozens of the things! The newest series is based all on retro videogames, and has an easy contender for packaging of the year: while the figures are still blind-boxed, the boxes are designed to look like little arcade cabinets! Brilliant! Each box is specific to its contents - that is to say, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/?p=24645\"><i>Pac-Man<\/i><\/a> box will only have <i>Pac-Man<\/i> characters, the <i>Dig-Dug<\/i> box will only have <i>Dig-Dug<\/i> characters, etc. And in the case like this, where there's only one character from the game in the assortment, the <i>Frogger<\/i> box contains Frogger.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/funko_rvgmm1_ff2.jpg\" title=\"(shown twice actual size)\" width=\"380\" height=\"315\" class=\"alignleft\">In the actual game, Frogger was just a green pile of pixels that hopped orthogonally around the screen when you moved the joystick. The cabinet art, on the other hand, depicted him as a businessfrog who was apparently on his way home from work, and that's what this toy gives us, too: a little green frog, squatting down, wearing a red necktie and holding a brown briefcase. That is ridiculously cute!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/funko_rvgmm1_ff3.jpg\" title=\"single froggy lawyer, fighting for his clients\" width=\"200\" height=\"175\" class=\"alignright\">The figure is much bigger than expected - he seems sized more to hang out with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/?p=23967\">the \"Really Big Mystery Minis\"<\/a> than with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/?p=20545\">the normal ones<\/a>. But man oh man, he's just! So! Cute! that you won't even care what size he is. A frog with a necktie and briefcase! And a little smile! That's just the best! And as a reminder, since this is the only <i>Frogger<\/i> character in Series 1, if you see the green box, you can be 100% certain he's what you're getting.<\/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=\"Horror Classics Mystery Minis - Freddy vs. Jason reviews\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2017\/10\/horror-classics-mystery-minis-freddy-vs-jason-reviews\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Horror Classics Mystery Minis - Freddy vs. Jason reviews<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Rick and Morty Mystery Minis - Pickle Rick review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2018\/07\/rick-and-morty-mystery-minis-pickle-rick\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Rick and Morty Mystery Minis - Pickle Rick review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Walking Dead Mystery Minis: Dale Horvath (In Memorium) review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2017\/10\/walking-dead-mystery-minis-dale-horvath-in-memorium-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Walking Dead Mystery Minis: Dale Horvath (In Memorium) review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Universal Monsters Mystery Minis - black and white Invisible Man exclusive review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2019\/10\/universal-monsters-mystery-minis-black-and-white-invisible-man-exclusive-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Universal Monsters Mystery Minis - black and white Invisible Man exclusive review<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"SPOSTARBUST-Related-Post\"><a title=\"Godzilla Mystery Minis - Black and White Godzilla review\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2025\/02\/godzilla-mystery-minis-black-and-white-godzilla-review\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Godzilla Mystery Minis - Black and White Godzilla review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brekekekex koax koax! &lt;i&gt;And now, some more OAFEry:&lt;\/i&gt;Godzilla Mystery Minis - SpaceGodzilla review Rick and Morty Mystery Minis - Mr. Meeseeks review Walking Dead Mystery Minis: Daryl Dixon reviews Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 60th Anniversary Mystery Minis - Yukon Cornelius &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/2017\/05\/retro-videogame-mystery-minis-frogger\/\">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-24058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog-exclusive-review","category-funko","tag-mystery-minis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24058"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24058\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24675,"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24058\/revisions\/24675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24058"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
