Today's a Sunday so it's time for another review of the Mummy and this time we've got something really scary! It's.... a Care Bear? Yup. A Care Bear. One of the most unusual mashups of 2024 surely has to be Care Bears X Universal Monsters, a mixture of cute and creepy that I don't anyone saw coming. Why? I don't know but I'll be honest; I was kind of intrigued when I first hears about these and I picked up the Funko POP! vinyls as soon as I saw them at a local GameStop. Well, a couple of them. Bedtime Bear was the only Care Bear I had as a kid, so I'm sort of partial to the sleepy little guy. Well, sleepy during the day. You see, Bedtime Bear stays up all night to serve as the night watchmen for Care-a-lot, so no wonder he's drowsy during the day. Of course now he's awoken from his thousands of years of slumber and he's roaming the pyramids looking to restore his original power. Or he's just Bedtime Bear cosplaying. Let's check out Bedtime Bear as the Mummy after the break...
The Facts:
Height: 4 inches
Articulation: Swivel head.
Accessories: None
Accessories: None
Non-Scalper Price: $12 dollars
The Positives:
* Bedtime Bear as the Mummy is a standard Funko POP! which means he has a swivel head and is just a little preposed. His arms are crossed across his chest, sure, but it looks less like he's mummified and more like he's just a bit impatient or tired. He's just trying to stay awake. Or maybe he's just a bit over No Heart's latest scheme.
* I don't have any other Care Bears POP! vinyls other than a couple from this set, but he looks like he'd fit in with the rest of your Care Bear POP! vinyls just fine. He's not at all icky or nasty or anything; he really does look like just a cute bear dressed as the Mummy. POP! vinyls are simple, sure, but this guy does have some nicely sculpted wrappings all around him, though his face and belly are exposed. Oh, and his ears, which are adorable. I really like that you can see his paws through the bandages, too. He does look pretty snuggly which isn't something you usually say about a Mummy action figure.
* I've already mentioned that Bedtime Bear has some adorable ears but I'm also loving the half-open eyes. Or, really, three-quarter open eyes. He's looks like he's trying to stay awake. Poor little guy.
* His belly badge is visible through the wrappings and shows off his sleepy moon logo, though it's been wrapped up a bit, too.
* His tail is also poking out and there's a little heart charm on his backside. Seriously, cuteness overload here.
This little guy definitely is way cuter and cooler than I would have thought he'd be! There are only five bears in the set it seems (Cheer Bear as the Bride of Frankenstein, Grumpy Bear as Frankenstein’s Monster, Tenderheart Bear as Dracula, Bedtime Bear as the Mummy, and Good Luck Bear as Creature from the Black Lagoon) though the Creature didn't make it as a POP! vinyl. No Wolfman? Boo! Still, this guy was my first choice and I like him a lot. Very cute. An odd merger, sure, but pretty fun and an interesting item for our countdown. He's a Great POP! vinyl.
This is the first toy of Bedtime Bear I've reviewed.
If you're looking for more of the Mummy, specifically Imhotep, I've reviewed the Universal Monsters Select The Mummy, the NECA Mummy (Black & White), McFarlane Monsters Mummy Playset, the Mummy ReAction figure, the Big Bucket of Monsters Mummy, the Mummy from Mezco's Tower of Fear, and the mummy included with the Mighty Max set "Mighty Max Conquers the Palace of Poison."
