What's scarier than a clown?
TWO clowns!
I ended up with two 'Ghost Clowns' during my random selection of Mystery Micro-Figures blind bagged series 1 figures by Character Builders. Ironically, this is the figure I originally wanted most (besides Velma.) Ghost Clown is a genuine classic tv show 'villain.' And I have to admit, having two of them isn't a disappointment. They make great goons for my Lego Harley Quinn, and are creepier in a pair!

Voodoo Man :: Countdown to Halloween 2013
I have no idea when or where this 'Voodoo Man' character appeared in the Scooby Doo cartoon. I can only assume he was either part of one of the more modern iterations of the series or that he was made up for this Mystery Micro-Figures blind bagged series 1 by Character Builders.
Regardless, to me he comes across more as some sort of Salem witch trials type character than a voodoo character. Also he looks like he should glow in the dark but sadly he does not.
I usually squeeze to figure out what I'm getting, but since I already identified Velma and Daphne, I decided to fly blind for a couple more figures, and Voodoo Man is one I ended up with. Not terribly excited or disappointed, he's kooky but does not hit my nostalgia bone at all.

Mystery (Inc.) Micro Figures :: Daphne
Having picked up Velma a couple weeks ago, I decided it only prudent to pick up the only other Mystery Inc. member in the Character Building Scooby Doo Micro-Figures blind bagged Series 1.
They kind of look silly together, what with their mismatched head proportions. Velma is clearly the brains of the operation!
But at least now Daphne and Velma can solve mysteries without the 'help' of Scooby, Shaggy and Fred. Expect a lot more mysteries to be solved!
I imagine that if this series makes it past Wave 1 in the U.S. we will finally see Scooby, Shaggy and Fred in the mystery packs. At least I hope so, I don't plan on picking up any of the larger, more expensive sets, unless they go on clearance or something.

Come on get involved until the Mystery Micro-Figures is solved!
Character Building have now released their Scooby Doo Micro-Figures in the US!
Sadly, the only way to get Scooby or Fred or Shaggy thus far is to buy the larger building sets (like a Mystery Machine and a haunted castle.)
Conversely the only way to get Daphne and Velma is in the blind bagged Mystery Micro-Figures Series 1 set.
It is my experience with 'Character Building' is that there is no code or other packaging hint as to what you are getting inside. These things are true mysteries!
Fortunately my 'squeeze method' skills are finely toned, and I was able to find my favorite gal, Velma!
What can I say, I dig a chick in glasses!
Velma translates pretty well into mini figure form. I gave her the magnifying glass that came with the Lego Sherlock Holmes and it really finishes her off nicely.
One mystery has already been solved with this minifigure...she's not wearing anything under that skirt! Sorry, no pictures, even I have standards.
I picked up two figures when I found these at Toys R Us for $1.99 each (Cheap!) The other figure I got is The Wolfman!
The Wolfman is pretty cool for a werewolf (which are always cool!) so I am glad I got him. Unfortunately I was squeezing for the Ghost Clown! My squeeze method skills aren't as finely honed as I thought they were after all.
Now let's solve the final mystery and remove that mask to see who The Wolfman really is...
VELMA?!?!?!?!
