Bumblebee Girl series 10

[lucalego]

Hello, this is my first post to a forum.

I'm trying to collect all the CMF series animal mascots. I have every one bar the unicorn girl (who is easily found so I'm not worried). The other is the Bumblebee Girl from Series 10. She rarely sells for less than £30 on eBay - irritatingly.

Can anyone explain why she sells for so much when mascots from older series such as the Gorilla Suit Guy from Series 3 sell for a third of the price.

Would appreciate any thoughts ?

Holy cow....I just looked her up!  That's nuts series 10 is not even that old.  I started at series 10 and I am glad I didn't miss that one for my personal collection.

Looking at Whitefang's review there were only 2 of them in every box of 60 making her a rarer fig.....that combined with the popularity of the "animal mascot" themed figs helps keep demand up.  But still that is nuts to be selling for that much.

My guess was classic Saturday Night Live.

Wow! That's incredible! A bit before my time so I wouldn't haven't ever imagined that that would make one hell of a funky MOC

I'm betting bumblebee suit or Bunny suit will be a freebie at Easter time (like the recent gingerbread man and chicken suit promotions)

Already have the bunny suit guy, so really hoping it'd be the bumble bee girl !
