Scott Neely Selling Rare Scooby-Doo Funko Collectible & Sketch Cards

6/17/2025

Update: Both the Bobble Bank and all the trading cards have now sold out!

Some exciting news for collectors! Scott Neely, who I did an interview with back in March, just shared with me that he is selling a rare Scooby-Doo collectible item. The item is a Funko Scooby-Doo Wacky Wobbler Bobble Bank, which was released in 2006. The banks have sat unopened in its original box in Scott's studio for the last 19 years, and are still double boxed. Scott is selling these banks for $250 each, plus shipping. The bank features Scooby in his classic sitting pose (seen above). These are super rare, and Scott is currently the only one on eBay with these for sale. It looks like a couple people have already added this to their watchlist, so if you're a big collector and are interested in purchasing this item, you'll definitely want to do so quickly before they all sell out! If interested, you can purchase the item directly from Scott on eBay.

Scott has also posted eight Scooby sketch cards on eBay from the upcoming 2025 Fleer Scooby-Doo trading cards deck mentioned in previous posts. These are one-of-a-kind hand-drawn sketches that Scott drew when making the Fleer cards. Scott was also generous enough to offer a special deal to visitors of the blog! They are posted on eBay for $75 each. However, if you enter "ScoobySnax" in the "make an offer field" with $50, Scott will give you a $25 discount off of the $75 list price! Scott also wrote up a behind the scenes post about the process of making these sketch cards that you can check out on his blog!

A huge thank you to Scott for offering this special discount!

Wow, that's a really nice figurine, but personally, I'll pass! $250 is a lot of money that I'd rather invest in my DVD collection. At home, $250 is enough to buy every movie in the franchise!

I've always had a complicated relationship with collections. Unfortunately, I've always mistakenly assumed that the number of items you own from a franchise is equivalent to your affection for it. For example, someone who has a huge collection of Scooby-Doo merchandise certainly appreciates the franchise more than someone who doesn't own any Scooby-Doo items at home.
I always feel a little bad when I see people displaying their Hanna-Barbera collection, because I conclude that I'm not a true fan.

I think I give way too much importance to items. I take extremely good care of my DVDs, and unfortunately, I have a lot of trouble letting others touch them for fear that they won't be as careful as I am. I'm starting to get used to it, but it's still difficult.

Honestly, having a Scooby-Doo figure is like having a real Scooby-Doo in your home. I'd say I respect the figure as if it were a real person.

That's why I decided not to start collecting the recently released Scooby-Doo cards (if only we could use them in a game, like the Dragon Ball cards). I don't think I need that to demonstrate my love for the franchise.

I do the same for The Flintstones and The Jetsons. I stick to DVDs, which are more utilitarian than collectible.

I only have a small collection of Hanna-Barbera cars, including the Jetsons' ship, Fred Flintstone's car, and the Mystery Machine with Shaggy and Scooby. That's more than enough for me. I don't need a Scooby-Doo piggy bank. I already have a very nice Scooby-Doo figurine.

I just hope to have a less emotional connection to my DVDs and toys in the future.

These are just my thoughts, but personally I feel that having more items in your collection doesn't really connect to how big of a Scooby fan you are. For those fans who are into collecting merch, it's a great way to show off how much you love the franchise, but there's no requirement of how much Scooby merch you have to own in order to prove you love the franchise. I've never really been a big collector personally, and don't own that much Scooby stuff beyond DTVs.

I guess I think of collecting items as one way you can show your passion for the franchise, but it certainly isn't the only way. I think it should always be about expressing your passion in whatever way brings you joy whether that be collecting stuff, connecting with other fans of the franchise, just watching the episodes/movies. There isn't any requirement to being a Scooby fan imo, so my philosophy is that you should only express your passion for the franchise in ways that feel meaningful to you, regardless of what other fans are doing. :)

Hello Wildwind! As I promised, here's my analysis of Abracadabra-Doo.

Hello everyone! This summer, I decided to focus on the middle films of the franchise. By that, I mean the films that are neither excellent, like Zombie Island, nor very bad, like Return to Zombie Island (you should never make a sequel to a good film)!

I'm starting today with Scooby-Doo: Abracadabra-Doo.

I had to wait four years to see this film. I was not disappointed.

What I particularly like about this film is that we can analyze it largely based on a simple phrase: Everybody wants to be a hero. This phrase, which is found in the film's opening song, actually applies to many characters, because it's true, many of them have the goal of becoming heroes.

Before continuing, we must first better understand the definition of the word hero. It's a term that can be used in several contexts. Over the past few months, I've been delving into its meaning, and so I'm venturing into unsafe territory. According to my interpretation, a hero can be defined as someone who accomplishes great things for the benefit of those around them and their community. We're obviously thinking here of DC or Marvel superheroes, but it's not necessary to have superpowers to achieve great things.

But is the term hero limited to this? In our circle, we all have someone who, in our eyes, evokes self-fulfillment, formidable human qualities, and, of course, courage and effort to achieve one's goals. We all want to connect with this person. This person is a source of inspiration, a role model, a hero!

In short, a hero can embody both the protector of a community and an everyday individual, nothing extraordinary, yet representing an ideal to be achieved, a symbol of admiration.

This is what the characters in Abracadabra-Doo strive for: to become heroes. In the film, their story focuses on achieving a goal that will earn them the admiration of others.

Mystery Inc. is no exception to this observation. For example, we see Daphne practicing gymnastics on numerous occasions. However, this activity is not a personal hobby. Indeed, Daphne has noticed Fred's growing interest in Crystal, an assistant to the owner of Whirlen Castle, the great Whirlen Merlin. Fred admires Crystal's talent on stage, particularly in acrobatics. Daphne's interest in gymnastics is therefore to draw the unofficial leader of Mystery Inc.'s gaze toward her, his beloved, and away from Crystal. In her own way, Daphne seeks to become her lover's hero.

Moreover, love is also a source of heroism for Shaggy. He meets Madelyn, Velma's younger sister. We soon learn that Madelyn is in love with Shaggy. She indeed sees in him the purest courage. We've known Shaggy Rogers since 1969 and are well aware that he rarely displays courage in decisive moments. Instead of fully committing to capturing the monster, he and Scooby-Doo always try to shirk the task, except when it comes to saving a friend. It is this desire that ultimately drives Shaggy in Abracadabra-Doo. After also falling under Madelyn's spell, he doesn't hesitate for a second to don a knight's armor to rescue his lover from the griffin. Following this scene, it's fair to say that Shaggy has also become a hero, in both senses of our definition. In addition to saving someone close to him, he further embodies courage itself in Madelyn's eyes.

Still on the theme of love, Calvin Curdles, the ice cream man, also attempts to become a hero. He wants to buy Whirlen Castle in order to reconnect with Alma. (To be explored further)

We previously saw three examples of heroes acting out of their love for someone. However, it would be wrong to say that only this form of heroism is present in the film. Indeed, some desire to emerge from the shadows, to be in the spotlight, and to be recognized for their long-overlooked talents. This is the case with Marlon, who, throughout the film, seems unhappy working behind the scenes for the success of his brother Whirlen Merlin, who takes all the credit. Although Merlin recognizes and values Marlon's work, Marlon would like to disassociate himself from his brother and strike out on his own.

I consider Abracadabra-Doo to be the first film of the new millennium to be conceived as a feature film. The What's New Scooby-Doo films are certainly excellent, but to me, they feel like long episodes of the series rather than a film where we witness the evolution of the characters. I still want to repeat : the What's New Scooby-Doo films are excellent :)

In addition to this marked character development, Abracadabra-Doo can be seen as a preview of what Mystery Incorporated will offer us: a heavier atmosphere, aggressive and determined monsters, and settings filled with secret mechanisms.

Indeed, the mystery of the griffin is immediately identified by the viewer as the main plot of the story. It would be forgotten that the forest surrounding Whirlen Castle constitutes an equally gigantic enigma.

Just think of the sundial that

Oups ! Thought again I could make only one post haha ! Here's the second part :

Just think of the sundial that reveals how to control the griffin, or O'Flannery's grave, whose access mechanism is one of the most ingenious in the franchise. In these places, we discover not only information about the griffin, but also about the past of the school and O'Flannery. The portrait of the latter, rather vague at the beginning of the film, eventually becomes clearer. It's like being in a game from The Legend of Zelda!

And what about the monsters! First of all, let's note that they only appear at night, like in Scooby-Doo: Where Are You. Granted, the griffin and the banshee aren't as iconic as other Scooby-Doo creatures, like the Space Kook. However, the villains in Abracadabra-Doo blend perfectly with the atmosphere we'll discover in Mystery Incorporated. The griffin and the banshee are truly designed to be frightening. Who hasn't jumped at the thought of the banshee's transformations? Isn't its imposing stature the main reason we fear it? If your answer to these questions is yes, it means the monsters have achieved their intended purpose.

Scooby-Doo: Abracadabra-Doo also marks a turning point in the history of the franchise with its songs. Indeed, before this film, most of the songs we heard weren't directly related to the episode being played. They were current hits, mostly about love. It wasn't uncommon to see the gang chased by a monster to the sound of a romantic song. The only exception was A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, which focused on presenting songs about the episode's monster.

The band Just for Laugh changed all that in 2010. These musicians, whose compositions can be heard on Abracadabra-Doo and Camp Scare, focused on presenting songs related to the film.

In the case of Abracadabra-Doo, we find Magic, about the magic that unites two people; Tomorrow, reminding us that despite the obstacles encountered by the characters seen above, there is always a light that will reward their perseverance, as demonstrated at the end of the film; and, of course, Abracadabra-Doo, from which comes the sublime verse we mentioned earlier.

Unlike previous incarnations of the franchise, Abracadabra-Doo does not feature its songs in chase scenes. Magic, the only song heard throughout the film, is placed in a scene where the gang is taking a magic class. To punctuate the action scenes, a more somber music, excellent for suspense, was preferred.

This concludes this analysis of Scooby-Doo Abracadabra-Doo. I consider this film one of my favorites and also the beginning of a new era in the franchise, with its deep characters, menacing monsters, complex and carefully constructed mysteries, and catchy music.

I invite you, if you're interested, to tell us about your favorite film, a film that you think doesn't get the attention it deserves. Here is a list to help you:

• Scooby-Doo Goes Hollywood
• Scooby-Doo (live action)
• Monster of Mexico
• Monsters Unleashed
• Loch Ness Monster
• Where’s my Mummy
• Aloha
• Chill Out
• Goblin King
• The Mystery Begins
• Abracadabra-Doo
• Legend of the Phantosaurus
• Big Top
• Mask of the Blue Falcon
• Frankancreepy
• WrestleMania Mystery
• Curse of the Speed Demon
• Shaggy’s Showdown

I'd like to end this post with a piece of advice, dear friends: listen to Tomorrow before going to sleep. As with the characters in the film, it will help you project yourself into a better future.

Thank you :)

Thanks so much for sharing your analysis! I enjoyed reading it and it was cool to see it explored from the angle of the film's main message. It was interesting to see that you enjoyed the early 2010s films a bit better than the WNSD films! Cool to see different opinions! :)

I also really like the griffin and banshee as villains! I think their designs are two of the best amongst any DTV in the past 15 years.

Since I saw Boo Brothers #1 Fan did two, I'd be happy to do another one too! Goblin King is actually one of my favorite Scooby films! It would rank it amongst my top 10 films of the franchise. I love how whimsical and magical the film's vibe is, and it feels perfect for Halloween! Despite that I generally enjoy the episodes/films that prominently feature the whole gang better, I feel like this film works really well as a mostly standalone adventure for Shaggy and Scooby. Even though the plotline of going into a spirit world could have been dark or creepy, the film manages to strike a perfect balance of feeling spooky in a fun and lighthearted way. All the creatures that they meet along the way are really fun (I especially like Jack), and the goblins also are great villains! I particularly love the Goblin King's design. Similarly to Boo Brothers, I also feel there's a lot to be said for the film's score in creating a vibe. The background music throughout the film really helps to further that whimsical, lightheartedly spooky feeling.

It seems like the opinions on this film range from either loving it or disliking it, but I've always felt this is a standout film in the franchise for the unique vibe and atmosphere it has. I totally get why people wouldn't like how different this is (ironically, I actually didn't love the film on first watch, and only warmed up to it when I watched it a second time), but I feel this is such a fun film that deserves more love than it gets!

Sorry, I took a long time before responding.

I'm glad you enjoyed my review :)

I'd love to comment on your review of Goblin King, but unfortunately I haven't seen it yet. Since I don't have any online streaming services at home, I have to buy the DVDs to watch the movies (some can be found on the Internet Archive, but I prefer to have the DVD). The What's New movies are the hardest to find. I recently bought the 4 Kids Favorite with Goblin King at my local store. I unboxed it yesterday and plan to see Goblin King soon. Then I'd be happy to comment on your review. I've already seen a few scenes on the Warner Bros. YouTube channel, and I don't think I'll hate this movie :)
