A recent trip to Toys R Us resulted in a very interesting find, the Character Building Scooby Doo figures and build-able playsets. The line is very much like Lego and the parts are mostly interchangeable. The truly interesting thing is the set of blind bagged "Micro-Figures" that featured Daphne and Velma along with some classic modern ghostly adversaries. But... there are also some figures from the company's other line Monsters vs Zombies including the Wolfman, Bayou Beast, Dracula, Frankenstein and Lagoon Monster. The Monsters vs Zombies line has not gotten a release here in the US so this is especially exciting as it is a relatively cheap way to obtain some of the monsters (alas no Fly in the Scooby Doo set)
I'll be picking up the castle to use for part of the my Lego Monster Museum display and I have plans for the Mancrab mini figure if I can get a hold of a loose Lego Mantizoid head.
I just discovered these awesome things as well, though the picking were SLIM. Three blind bags were all that remained but did manage to get the voodoo man, crab, and skeleton which was are really cool. I thought I remember seeing a Mystery Machine being released in this set which was pictured in the packed in pamphlet. Great stuff.
