The vinyl collector craze began around 2010 when Funko released the first figure in their “Pop” line. The appeal of collecting these big-eyed statues was that they were inexpensive and as the product line grew there was literally something for everyone. Over the years other companies produced vinyl figures but none of them had something that set them apart, something unique enough to be a hit, until Handmade by Robots came along.
What set them apart was that they looked like they were knitted. Honestly, the first time I saw them I was surprised to find they weren’t some sort of plush toy, they look that good! The folks over at Handmade by Robots sent an announcement for a limited edition Ghost Face from the motion picture Scream. Sadly, the limited edition version sold out immediately upon announcement so it can no longer be preordered. We can show you what it looked like and you can compare it to the non-limited edition shown of the HMBS site. The specs for the limited edition figure were:
- Limited Edition – Individually Numbered 720 Piece Exclusive
- Brought to you by Handmade by Robots in collaboration with HelloSidney.com
- Crime scene splattered bloody box interior
- Officially Licensed figure by Fun World
- Approximately 5 inches tall and perfect for display or play
- Our friendly robots designed this figure to look like knit fabric at a glance, but it’s actually made of vinyl.
- Signature vinyl tag on the figure, complete with barcode decal to resemble a sewn-in label
- As seen in a variety of movies including Scream
Also being released is a four pack of Ghost Face mini collectibles. Set for release in July, the specifics for these collectibles are:
- Limited Edition – 1,000 piece Exclusive
