Update 4/30: Hey all, I just heard from Scott Neely, and he's shared that the cards have unfortunately been delayed yet again, and did not in fact come out today. He has not been given a new date yet, but I will be sure to share on here as soon as a new date is announced!
After a bit of a rollercoaster with the release date, the Fleer Scooby-Doo cards are finally out today! I hadn't realized it when sharing about it previously, but according to Checklist Center, apparently the cards are much, much more expansive than just the ones designed by Scott Neely. Each standard box, priced at $150, contains 12 packs per box, and each pack contains eight cards. Each pack features multiple variant cards of the gang, as well as a plethora of villains from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? and The Scooby-Doo Show. It seems all of the main villains from every episode of the show were made into cards, and each box randomizes which cards you get. The non-main villains, such as the Owl Men from "Watch Out the Williwaw," the Loch Ness Monster from "A Highland Fling with a Monstrous Thing," and the Devil Hound from "The Warlock of Wimbledon" are not included. There is also a special set that includes cards of some villains from the Scrappy shorts. In addition to the standard box, there are 25 different collector's sets that can be purchased. It appears that the cards can be purchased either in boxes or individual packs. Collectively, the cards were made by 88 different artists. So that you aren't having to scroll through a pages-long list, I will just include the list of variants here rather than listing out every card on each variant. You can view the full list on what each variant set contains here. (Thanks to Scott Neely for emailing me this link!) 1. Base Set (100 cards) 2. Base Creepy Compounds Set (100 cards) 3.

And this is the exact reason today's kids aren't getting into Scooby. How exactly are these affordable? You can't even get a full set of base cards from one box! Ridiculous.

It would have been better imo if they would have promoted it in a less confusing way. The way the site worded it is a bit confusing imo. I'm still not even quite sure if you can buy the packs individually or not. My understanding is that there's the base boxes and then the individual packs, but it isn't really clear what price they're sold for, or even where to purchase any of the ones besides the base boxes. The amount of variants is also really overwhelming; I really doubt there are going to be many fans out there that are going to spend thousands of dollars to get all of these variants. So yeah, between the aforementioned and the initial release date confusion, the rollout strategy hasn't exactly been great.

I don't know what's happening over in the States but over here in the UK there has been very little Scooby wise to entice kids into the franchise. When I was a kid about 20 years back there was a major comic series, sticker albums etc. but since then marketing has fallen of a cliff for Scooby. It was these pocket money things that enticed kids to watch the show but now it seems most of the merchandise we get is aimed at collectors rather than bringing in the next generation of fans. 5/1/2025 09:14:46 am
I will admit that I don't really go looking for merch too often, but I haven't seen all that merch here in the US either. A lot of the stuff I've noticed is for collectors, other than the occasional item like a t-shirt or stickers. I think I've heard Dollar Tree has carried some Scooby stuff in the past, but I don't go there hardly at all, so I'm unsure if they still do. Not sure how long that's been happening in the UK, but for us, I've noticed a gradual dropoff in merch since around the time of the pandemic.

As i've already said a few times before Logan Dockery, the head of Warner Archive, George Feltenstein has already confimed on an episode of "A Podcast Named Scooby-Doo" that there should possibly be more Scooby-Doo physical releases coming in the near future.
