My Everdreamerz Dream
« on: July 07, 2020, 20:36:28 »
This is a true story. Honestly, it is.  8}

I went to Sir Troy's, which is the only store where I can buy Everdreamerz (EZ) surprise boxes. I looked at the boxes & didn't see any sort of code like what is on the Fi?ures bags. Those codes can identify the figures within that case. I decided to buy 8 boxes from different parts of the display case & hope for the best.

I ended up with 3 chocolicious, 2 toothache, 1 ice cream clown, 1 dentist, & 1 balloon lady!!! I was happy despite the repeats.

The next morning, I dreamt that I was looking at a pile of EZ boxes, & noticed a set of code numbers in the upper left hand corner of one of the boxes. After I awoke, I remembered my dream & looked at one of the empty boxes; there was no code where I had dreamt there was. A closer look showed that there was actually a code, in white text, on the top of the box itself. Of my 8 boxes, I had 3 codes that matched (choco), 2 more that did (toothache), & 3 individual sets.

I went back to Sir Troy's on Sunday & grabbed the 7 codes I needed, plus an extra balloon lady, so now I have all 12 figures with only a few repeats. If the case doesn't get replaced by the time I make it back to the store, I'll try to get doubles.

I can only credit the dream to the fact that I take good meds at night.

Just like with the bags, you sometimes get multiple codes for the same contents. I got an entire case and it had only 2 Balloon lady and 2 Mrs Bubblegum.  The extras are all toothaches,  appropriately.

It's a great story, Jim, with a great outcome.
It's not just me that dreams about PM, then!  :-[

I have managed to get 2 of all the surprise figures, & there were indeed multiple codes for 2 or 3 of them in the case at Sir Troy's. Fortunately, it seems the distribution of the figures was pretty good & there aren't too many repeats of the same figure. Troy expects to get series 2 pretty soon. Sorry to hear about all of your Toothaches, Tim.

My extras were also toothaches. Is it on purpose, to have more of the weakest figure?

That's just crazy. I think there are too many Chocolicious' in Troy's case, but I'm not sure about Toothache.

Troy has all of the new Scooby-Doo sets, so I have to make it back to start acquiring.

:o

But only want one set (or two), then, parts and klickys hunt.. Though the one I really want didn't appear yet - or I didn't see her - that gorgeous white(ish?) hair in 70366 :love:

70366 is the one set I picked up! But... the hair... it's made of the same rubbery stuff used for Drago in HTTYD (9248) & has the same visible seam running around the top. It's also attracting fuzzies just like Drago's hair. It's still neat, & I don't mind the seam too much, but it gets dirty/smudged quickly.

Yes, the sculpt is not new...  But seems beautiful. I MUST get my hands on that klicky in numbers. Or at least the hair!  >:D

Oh - that's good. For some reason I thought I remembered that you really weren't into Drago's hair. The witch figure IS really nice; unfortunately I smudged the hair with a soiled finger, & now the seam is a very visible black line. I suppose it can be cleaned.

My only complaint about the set is the tentacles coming out of the pot. They are 2 of the tentacles from the 3-headed sea monster that fit into its head, & don't fit into anything here; therefore the joining piece on the tentacle is obvious & looks a bit pointless. They just sit in the pot looking like unassembled pieces of the sea monster.
