Finally went outside after a good long while, besides essentials.

Haven’t had a lot of practice with blind boxes or bags in those months so I figured I should get some practice in, was probably a little rusty.

Saw these at Walmart, and figured it was pretty easy to feel the shapes in the bags cause the figures are decently sized. 

I don’t know anything about the series, or the ratios, or if there are codes on the back of the packages [I didn’t really check]. 

Find the head and start there, scoot it out of the way, start feeling around for recognizable shapes for each of the figures. Like long hair, pig tails, the wide flat cape shape, the bug feelers headband. 

Be careful with the tail on the unicorn, there’s a couple of ponytail hair styles that can be tricky, so always feel around for the horse body [a solid piece], as well as the unicorn horn.

PS you can feel the scales on the mermaid body along with the pigtails so that’s another super easy one.

Finally got around to finishing off my set

I usually don’t have this much trouble with doubles, but this time around I just had some ridiculous luck. In series 1 and series 2 there was only 1 exclusive clip per case. We only had 1 exclusive per series, and it was gold bendy for both series 1 and 2. 

This time around we have 3 exclusives, 2 gold figures, and 1 silver figure, and what I’ve found was that you can get multiple gold figures per case. Now I didn’t get to weigh a full case so I don’t know exactly how many chase figures are actually in a single case, cause I did get a gold Audrey, a gold Ink Demon, and a Silver Sammy, from a different case.

That still leaves me with finding 2 Gold Audrey’s , 3 Gold Ink Demons, and 2 Silver Sammy’s in one single case. Which, while nice that it’s increasing the amount of chase figures per case thus giving collectors a better chance of getting a full set, it also increases my chances of getting doubles cause the chase figures almost weight exactly the same as the regular figures, and I’ve never had that problem before. 

The issue is made worse by some of these molds [different characters] being close in weight just in general, and depending on the amount of glue used on the bag, the air trapped in the bag, in my case some glue from the box got stuck to the bags and left cardboard residue behind > adding weight onto certain figures and making the numbers close to other, known, weights > making it even harder to find the figures I was missing.

The only other thing to add is the big blobby guy is still very much being shown as being part of this set, he’s on the official site line-up. But he never appears on the box, or on the back of the package. And him being, I’m assuming, a common ink enemy, there should be a bunch of him per case. All that means is he was probably cut from this lineup, and will make a return in series 4 [probably].

What I’m hoping for series 4 is 

Beast Bendy [the big boi]

Brute Boris

The goddamn Projectionist

A Lost One

Striker

Fisher 

Piper

Joe from the apartment scene at the end of the game

Admittedly I don’t really care too much about the butcher gang, but we got the other guys in series 2 [Barley, Charley, and Edgar], so we might as well get all of the secondary goobers.

Listen the gold/silver versions are the same character just re-painted, the paint doesn’t really affect the weight, so they’re basically the same but now yer trying to find like 1 of each in a box that has like 5 ink versions of each of these characters. Not fun

I don’t know what the giant blobby guy is but I’m betting he weighs the most.

Ok SO, series 4 is out

SOMEWHERE

I saw them at 1 Walmart, and now can’t find them anywhere.

The weights are tentative, since they did alter the metal alloy being used for the wands, they’re a little lighter than the first 2 series equivalents.

I haven’t gotten my hands on any boxes so I don’t know what the new weights are but I can give you some educated guesses.

The snatches is gunna be the heaviest weight in the case, that one’s easy

Cho chang will be close in weight to Hermione, maybe just a little lighter.

Fred and George are similar in shape to Harry and Ron, not as thick in the handle though, meaning they’ll be a little lighter, closer to Ron’s weight. 

Fred should weigh less than George because the handle is layered, kinda like a pinecone, meaning there’s less material there.

Good luck

Series 3 is here

The bags are shaped like Bendy’s face which is really nice.

We’re still doing the square shaped plastic container, frankly the best change they’ve ever made, it holds the keychains better.

Bendy and the Ink Machine blind bag backpack clips series 3

They’ve got 3 chases now, 2 golds and 1 silver

So these are in the Gamestop clearance area finally

If you’re weighing them, a full box has a full set and 4 doubles [2 green aliens, 2 teddy bears, 2 bats, 2 superhero boys]

Happy Hunting

[blindbaghell]

So apparently wave 2 is the same minis as wave 1 just in window boxes

What is happening with this series??

Does anyone know??

Apparently the “mystery” one is the 3 eyed alien and the teddy bear with button eyes [maybe a chase among those two] IDK man shits messy

Update

ALMOST GOT ALL THE WEIGHTS [as well as all the wands]

If a wand from series 3 doesn’t have a weight, but it’s a wand that was available from a previous set it’s cause I already own one and do not want to get a double to compare weights.

Trying super hard to avoid doubles. 

All I know is that the wands in series 3 are lighter than the previous 2 series and it’s very hard and stressful working to find the new wands.

I don’t have good pictures of the full set but I have managed to get all the weights for them.

In terms of weight: Sammy: 20.9 g Charley: 19.6 g Boris: 21.9 g Barley [pipe]: 22.4 g Bendy: 24.8 g Gold Bendy: 25.0 g Edgar [spider]: 25.5 g Evil Alice: 28.5 g 

#these are the weights I've gotten #there might be some slight discrepancies based on the weight of the packaging #good luck #bendy and the ink machine #batim

[blindbaghell]

Also the little 4 back is on clearance at Target

Sorry for the questionable quality, had bad lighting today.

The figures are maybe 1x or 2x as big as the clip figures, which isn’t too much of a change, but they’re nice to have if you want something stationary in your collecting. The series 1 collector clips don’t stand on their own, which was very sad. Personally, I would have liked them as keychains and then to remove the clip and have the same stationary ones, but they don’t have a good enough weight distribution to balance on their little feet.

I can understand why some people might be a bit annoyed with the designs of the 4 stationary figures since 3/4 of the designs are almost identical to the keychains. Ink Bendy and Boris are completely identical, whereas Alice just has a slight facial change. Bendy is the only one where they went all out with a new dynamic pose, giving the figure something to hold, and giving him a new facial change to go with it.

Overall it feels like they’re trying to make you buy the same figures all over again.

We’re back to talking about the Bendy and the ink machine Collector Clips Series 2

Very nice bright yellow [an attempt at sepia yellow] for packaging, it’s much brighter and more eye catching than the black bags were. That’s pretty important in marketing, you want your product to stand out [especially if you know that a lot of kids seem to like the media that the product is based off of].

In the previous series they would come in these oval containers, and for most of the figures the oval containers were pretty tight, it increased the amount of scratches, scuffs, and paint smudges on the series 1 figures [which I was pretty annoyed with]. These more square containers seem to provide the new set of figures enough wiggle room that they aren’t constantly pressed against the plastic, or their keychain hook. I don’t know if allowed them to shift around will reduce the amount of scuffing, but I can say that so far I haven’t gotten a figure with a problem, whereas with the first series most of the clips had some sort of flaw on them.

I also really like that they can stand up on their own [all of them besides bendy, he’s too top heavy to stand on just one leg]. Meaning if you get doubles you can pull the clip part off and use them as little figures.

In terms of weight:  Sammy: 20.9 g Barley [pipe]: 22.4 g Gold Bendy: 25.0 g Edgar [spider]: 25.5 g Evil Alice: 28.5 g

Another small update.

These things exist, they are die-cast, solid, miniature replicas, of the Harry Potter wands.

They’re actually pretty well made, and series 3 just started hitting gamestops.

Anyone who wasn’t aware of these and wants to start from the beginning [be careful there are a few wands that are shared between sets like the main trio] Can find the different series at the following locations [roughly]

I’ll be sharing weights soon, remember weights can vary based on how much tape is used on the box as well as how much air is in the plastic bag. Series 1: Some Walmarts, maybe some hot topics and gamestops, but definitely at 5 below stores

Series 2: Walmart, Gamestop, Hot Topic, and some Targets

Series 3: Gamestop, will eventually come to Target, Hot Topic, and Walmart

Quick update cause life is hella busy

Series 2 Gold Bendy compared to the Series 1 Gold Bendy

The paint job on series 2 is much better, smoother, with less bumps or smudges from the actual painting process itself. But it looks more yellow gold than real gold [fake gold is the word I was looking for].

He’s also got a more dynamic pose which is interesting even if I have no idea what the hell he’s doing. Like what even is that stance? It looks like he should be on a surfboard, or a skateboard, or have something under him to stand like that. But they’re trying to give us something different than just the same old static figures so I can’t be too annoyed. Just heavily confused.

The other big thing to note is that series 2 Bendy is much flatter, not only the head but his body as well. Also his body is much smaller compared to series 1 Bendy [which makes series 2 look more un-proportional].

Sorry that the pictures aren’t great, my friend pulled him and I had to snap some pics in the car before I dropped her off. I’ll do one big group picture soon. The weights so far: Bendy:  76.1 - 76.2 Boris: 68.6, 68.8, 69.0, 69.1, 69.3 Evil Alice: 75.7 The Projectionist:  69.2 - 69.3 [Found 2 more, 69.6 & 69.7] Piper:  67.6 Striker: 75.2 Fisher: 72.4 Sammy: 69.2 

So unfortunately Sammy, Boris, and the Projectionist overlap.

But if you shake the cans [GENTLY] the projectionist has a flat feeling head, Boris’ ears are thin and feel like a very small point of contact when the can is flipped over, meaning Sammy feels more round.

It was still pretty tough to see them when the air holes were bigger, you kinda have to turn the plastic casing inside a little more sideways to get a proper look at the figure inside, or at least get a peek in, maybe there’s a microphone, maybe there’s dog ears, or dead eyes, or some gold. But careful, the sepia tone of the bag can sometimes make the white of a figure look golden. I mean as long as you show them there are holes and you’re not opening the bags you probably shouldn’t have too much trouble. If I remember correctly the gold ones are always way in the back of the box.  You’re welcome, it’s kinda why I’m trying to share codes and pictures and stuff. It does seem like you’re not getting a lot of stuff up there period, so you’re probably really lucky. 

Series 2 clips have hit hot topic, and as usual they are way too pricey

Ain’t paying that much for a chance at getting a figure I don’t want or a double of a figure I don’t want

It’s best to just wait for these to come in at Gamestop, Walmart, and Target

#Good luck dude #The cans are brand new #most of the states don't have them in yet #there's not even a picture in the system #I found a trading group for all kinds of mystery figures on facebook #most of the members are US based #but we have some international ones too #You're best bet might be looking for mystery mini based groups #they'll share layouts of cases and weights and sometimes they sell and trade too #I know Bendy got overshadowed by Cuphead pretty bad and never fully recovered from that
