Interestingly enough, the description for the mystery minis says, "Close in on the Five Nights at Freddy’s™ Mystery Minis before they move! Collect your favorite characters from Five Nights at Freddy’s: Balloon Circus with this assortment of new figures featuring the game’s frighteningly cute animatronics." which seems to imply that there's an upcoming game called "Five Nights at Freddy's: Balloon Circus"
Now that IS interesting! I'm not sure if Balloon Circus itself would be a final title, but it could've definitely been a stand-in for one. Or perhaps it is one and there's a Balloon Circus game coming out. XD
But hold on don't forget stealwoil said in a interview: "we really want to do a origin of fazbear internment" and in ruin we see the mimic in a costume in say a "circus" and we are also getting "FNAF: secrets of the mimic" and funny this game takes place in 1979 (also I want to note I have not watched the video so oops my bad d:) and also the oldest date we have In FNAFs franchise is 1970 so we may see the balloon circus characters in the game as a cameo :/
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 Sorry for being the "BUZZKILL MAN", but actually, the Balloon Circus characters were just a funko exclusive wave, ya know, they wanted to make their own original designs instead of using the FNAF: AR skins, when the game was literally about to end at the time they made the Balloon Circus characters, who are more of cartoon or toy characters than animatronics, but hey, maybe they can be reused in "Secrets of the Mimic" as it takes place in a toy factory, so i'm not only the "BuzzKill Man" here
Only Freddy & Bonnie look like they’re actually from the circus. Foxy looks like a cartoon construction worker with depression and Chica looks like she’s cosplaying as Helen Henny (her predecessor).
Actually, Foxxy here is a Tramp clown, a type of clown popular during the great depression! For some reason people thought that sad, homeless clowns were really funny.
It's kinda ironic, given how Glamrock Chica, (and even more with Circus Chica), both resemble Helen Henney's original white design. Meanwhile, Henney, herself, is now a yellow chick, just like how Chica used to be. And dare I even mention C.E.C's "Five Nights Of Fun" just before the FNAF movie released last year.
Clown Foxy looks like an old traffic cone... And considering the kind of slapstick humor performances circus clowns are known for alongside the bare minimum of fucks given by ANY version of Fazbear entertainment regarding its animatronics... I feel outright pity and sympathy for whatever Clown Foxy had to endure...
I was so disappointed when it was made clear these new Circus animatronics only existed to sell merch, at first I thought they were meant for a new game or RUIN needless to say I was disappointed twice in a row
@@8onnie8oyz because before its release, nobody even knew the title of the DLC. And since a lot of popular theories at the time were tied to circus stuff (for example: The Baloon boy's air adventure arcade machine), people thought that those characters might possibly appear on other aracde cabinets or something in the DLC.
12:53 This is actually extremely common for merch. Toys take a long time to make, so they frequently will use concept art to start making something. This is so the release of the toys can match up to the release of the original product. This is how you get stuff like Blue Shirt Bart from early Simpsons. Or ugly Sonic toys before the redesign. So if they make the toys, but the game gets delayed for one reason or the other- Yeah, itll come out well before the game does.
I’m not sure but this is just an idea what if they showed up in The Secret of The Mimic? Jackie already got their color scheme and design wise might even be their leader.
I got my younger brother one of these things for Christmas once. I always thought they were just some sort of variation that was meant to be an alternative, like an optional skin for characters in games and not meant for anything significant. I wouldn't be surprised if in Five Laps at Freddy's or the next game the original band appears in if they were free or DLC costumes.
honestly i had no idea these little guys even existed before that one community post poll you made abt them, but circus foxy already makes them the objective best band, he just looks so goofy i love him
Another example of official merch releasing long before the game it's meant to promote: Transformers Reactivate. This is an upcoming video game based on the franchise, but something went catastrophically wrong with its dev cycle, and to this day only a teaser trailer has been publicly released, when the game having started development in 2017. Despite the game still being unreleased, toys based on it came out in 2023. In Transformers' case, the Reactivate designs are based heavily on the "Evergreen" character designs (basically meant to be "generic" versions of the characters that aren't inspired by any particular series, and can be released as merch regardless of what the current series is), so if it turns out the Circus characters are meant for something that got delayed, I think something similar is what's happening - they had the merch sitting around and taking up warehouse space, there was no word on when exactly their game would be released, and so it was decided to just ship them out anyway since they wouldn't spoil anything or cause any other issues if they were released earlier, and there are likely plans for a reprint/re-release when a true release date is finally locked down.
I hope the game is about a famous amusement park where you must complete your shifts while avoiding the homicidal costumed mascots that wander the amusement park at night.
See, this is why I love this channel. You think Gametheory would make a video this long on these guys? As someone who got into Fnaf randomly a couple years ago thanks to Wendigoon’s video, it’s been a great resource for catching up on what happened prior.
Maybe the circus animatronics will be Easter eggs in secret of the mimic as costumes, that’s the only way I could see them being included in the story.
Remember how the Funtime animatronics were shocked when they didn’t kidnap children? Yeah, for a while we were led to believe that was William, but I think it’s implied William was Springlocked after Elizabeth’s death, which means Henry knew that Baby was possessed, and still electrocuted her, just food for thought.
When did Henry electrocute Baby? If you're talking about the procedures in SL, then you're wrong because that takes place in afton's rental company that Henry has nothing to do with.
i really love these designs and hope they end up getting used like you mentioned, as in game cartoon marketing. i actually had no idea about these for the longest time, i only saw the clown bonnie from a few crocheting videos from this one artist and had no idea it was an official merch design she was inspired by since it's so unlike what i'm used to from fnaf merch. legitimately didn't know about the line being a thing until i started watching your videos! time to go hunt some circus bonnie figures i guess lmao
I absolutely love the others, but Circus Chica's hairstyle looks so generic and Circus baby already uses it, it's like really... You couldn't think of any other hair style?
So possibly related thing, I think they did it again... I just yesterday out of boredom on google, the end credits song for help wanted 2 is named "Scorched Cranberries Special" MAYBE its a bias towards the time of year of thanksgiving, but cranberries being cooked is typically associated with autumn and the harvest, IE The harvest Festival, thing they keep teasing. I found they very funny that just the credit song TITLE of help wanted 2 may be an Easter egg of some kind. Ain't seen anyone mention it before in association to fall. It would also be EQUALLY funny if all of this harvest/autumn/fall/carnival stuff was ALL a massive like gaslight just to see what the community would make up with what is provided.
I'm glad someone talked about it at least a little. These had been the only fnaf merch near me, so I had been logically curious, but nothing ever came of it. I hope something eventually does
With the designs not really looking like animatronics, my first thought was that it could be an in-universe tv show variant of sorts, and that would make sense to me. Advertising freddys to the kids with a tv show so they want to go to the restaurant or buy merch... i can easily see it
You are my last connecting to fnaf fandom… I was never fully interested and as a writer I see the flaws of a story that was never meant to continue. The concept is so thrilling and I love how much Scott and the community plays around with the possibilities. But I love your channel, I love how genuine and casual you sound, like a good friend ranting about their hyper-fixation. You’re very niche and super underrated.
Wasn’t circus baby’s name just shorten to baby in Fnaf AR? Maybe she was a prototype of the circus gang? Also off-topic I don’t know when else I’m gonna mention this about circus baby, but I have to bring up the line that charriii5 mentioned in his video Everything wrong with Fnaf help wanted 2. “ if thick thighs could in fact save lives circus baby could raise the dead. her model doesn’t even make sense when you really look at it. How does she walk? are her thighs mended together? or are they constantly scraping against each other when she walks?”weird out of contacts? yes. Will it be one of those weird thoughts that pop up in the middle of the night? maybe. Is it hilarious? absolutely.
my theory is that they were from a scrapped spinoff game (i.e Fury's Rage) that would've been released in the lead-up to RUIN since Steel Wool and Scott were certain it'd be delayed like Security Breach was, but RUIN actully released on time so it got cancelled.
I haven't decided! I was thinking of doing a special based off of all of the Halloween Fnaf stuff, but also I covered many of the characters already. So... maybe!
I just thought of something what if they redid fnaf AR Special Delivery but instead of how it came out the story is that it’s an In Universe AR game called Special Delivery Developed by Silver Parasol Games (The in universe game company that helped in the Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience in Fnaf VR Help Wanted) but rather than the animatronics you have to catch and collect newly original Digital Characters that exist in the game, but as the game goes on the digital character’s AI becomes more and more wand advance to the point where they actually try making attempts to escape to the real world, our player character can either be a Game Tester or a random person who downloaded the game and in order to fix it we have to use a VANNI mask to actually go inside the game and it turns out a new villain and/or the mimic is manipulating the code of everyone who plays and the only way to fix everything is to catch them while playing the game. That’s what I would do if I could change fnaf AR what do you think.
@@notrealnamenotatall2476omg thank you, I didn’t expect anyone to comment or think it was a good idea, I just wish fnaf AR was a bit more interesting but hey maybe they’ll make a new better one in the future who knows.
@@GJames-Legend101 Honestly, I feel like Fnaf AR was a good game with some hiccups. If they could tweak it a bit and work out the kinks, surely they could come out with a new version!
I can confirm there are times in merchlines they will make early designs of characters, I have some in my Cars Collection I also have a Circus Freddy Plushie, he's a goober, great vid Note!
Love hearing you talk about Bendy for a moment!! I have that Ink Demon figure. I was very confused when I saw DR's Ink Demon. When they opened the archives they said that he had looked goofy in game like that! I looked at my figure again and saw what they meant lmao
We all thought that we would show up in the next game but I doubt they are showing up in SOTM since a poster describes how the og gang was barely coming soon. Would have loved to have seen this version of foxy in the game.
6:59 I got a Balloon Foxy action figure for a Foxy fan friend. I love his crafty expression and lil teefs! Circus Bonnie is my personal fave. Great video, thank you! 💙
I still can't let go of how comical it is that Foxy is just randomly depressed, especially after seeing a meme paring the Spongebob clip of it randomly mentioning Mr. Krabs fell into a deep depression after a war being paired with Foxy randomly showing up
Wait... I just noticed that sad clown foxy looks almost the exact same as balloon foxy. Maybe the balloon animitronics and the clown animitronics are somehow contacted, maybe.
These designs are so cute i kinda hope they never make a game or comic about them 😭❤ i dont want them to be ruined by jammed in confusing lore placement that barley makes sense. Dont get me wrong, a comic/game for them WOULD be cool but. Sometimes this franchise/marketing can be frustrating
You know what we needed a mystery mini line based off fazbear frights books Springbonnie, Eleanor, CTW Freddy, plushtrap chaser, fetch, lonely Freddy, stitchwraith etc
Great video. i love that someone is talking the Circus Animatronics. they don't get enough love but there is a balloon foxy action figure. it was a Walmart exclusive. it looked like his funko pop design but as an action figure.
Stuff like this happens all the time with McDonald's Happy Meal toy promotions. In recent memory the new Captain America movie was supposed to come out earlier this year but was later pushed back to who knows when but the toys were still released on schedule McDonald's promotion was going to happen when their promotion was going to happen.
It's interesting and a little sad to me that Chica's design seems to be done with her original yellow color. The white is pretty nice, but it also makes her look more an adult hen. Idk, just something about a baby chick chica is cute to me
freddy is a whiteface, bonnie is an auguste, chica might be a character or a whiteface, but i imagine that role would be reserved for freddy and foxy is definitely a tramp
the circus guys have some of my favorite designs in the entire series (especially bonnie) i will be huffing copium about them showing up in a game until the end of time even if ten years pass and we don't get anything i will continue to believe. fall fest next year trust
Waiit a minute, this isnt a fnaf vid, this is a bendy vid in disguise! More seriously tho, rlly interesting vid, didnt kkow about that whole merch issue
6:48 "Balloon Chica is a cutesy little check with freckles, a purple, pink, and red assamble." I'm sorry, but, where's the pink? I see purple and red stripes on the shirt and hat. I see blue pants. I don't see any pink. Also, side note. HOW DO YOU SPELL "ASS-OM-BOL". When I try and look it up, it just thinks I'm trying to say 'assemble', like how you assemble Ikea furniture. Totally different word.
It's ensemble! Ensemble means a group of people or things, but is also used to describe a group of clothing that's themed together. And I meant purple-pink. Like a shade between the two. ^_^
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 Thanks! I know what the word means, it's just sometimes I have to look up how to spell a certain word, especially if I'm quoting something... And sometimes, I get situations like this, where the internet just doesn't want to tell me. Even tried using voice to text, but that didn't help either, lol.
Okay gotta drop the mention that Circus Foxy is clearly based on Emmet Kelly, smelly weary vaguely hobo foxy with a deflated balloon and his ridiculous suspender britches is one of my favorite designs I wish was used for something more than merch Also is he a tiger or an orange fox wearing white clown makeup? He has fox ears rather than tiger ears? I love this mysterious railroad clown fox and his miscellaneous activity
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 Feel like there's been an oversaturation of slop on UA-cam and I'm enthusiastic to consume new fnaf content! I like your vids editing, length, script, and topics. Gonna be going thru ur uploads for the next week at least lol. :3 keep up the good work!
One of the reasons I support my theory that these characters are or were for some game/book/material etc is that Funko not only created them as unique and detailed models, but Funko was not the only company to make merchandise, long before even the list of names of these characters was leaked, a Balloon Freddy t-shirt had been revealed, this was long before the leak of the list of names and the revelation of the merch
0:10 Trident Also let’s not forget the biggest mystery of them all: why did Mrs Afton find William attractive when he’s the ugliest thing in the multiverse
the batdr figures mention floored me because i actually do have the original bendy figured based on batdr toon bendy- never knew they made newer ones!! i'll have to look into that when i actually have money again
A similar situation to the bendy one, but not horror game related, back in 2000 before the game Sonic Adventure 2 released, the 2 new characters (Shadow and Rouge) had yet to be fully revealed (Shadow was in the trailer, but not named, and Rouge wasn't shown at all) a merchandise company revealed their new wave of Sonic Adventure figures, including figures of Shadow amd Rouge, which completely ruined the secrecy Sega was trying to keep around Shadow before the game released. Also coincidentally the merch company that leaked the characters went out of business shortly after that happened, and the figures themselves were canceled
Interestingly enough, the description for the mystery minis says, "Close in on the Five Nights at Freddy’s™ Mystery Minis before they move!

Honestly, if they were for this new Secret of the Mimic game, we would probably eat good, but who knows.
Since Hot Topic released a Balloon Freddy t-shirt, I think it’s very unlikely these designs were created by Funko.
Honestly, I would not be surprised if they showed up in Secret Of The Mimic. They just fit well with the theme.
Yeah, pretty sure we get stuff on the monitors that hint at circus stuff (a sign reading “big top” and a little carousel)
Even if they never show up in a game i wouldnt mind them being used as background characters or something. They are really well designed!

I just thought of something what if they redid fnaf AR Special Delivery but instead of how it came out the story is that it’s an In Universe AR game called Special Delivery Developed by Silver Parasol Games (The in universe game company that helped in the Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience in Fnaf VR Help Wanted) but rather than the animatronics you have to catch and collect newly original Digital Characters that exist in the game, but as the game goes on the digital character’s AI becomes more and more wand advance to the point where they actually try making attempts to escape to the real world, our player character can either be a Game Tester or a random person who downloaded the game and in order to fix it we have to use a VANNI mask to actually go inside the game and it turns out a new villain and/or the mimic is manipulating the code of everyone who plays and the only way to fix everything is to catch them while playing the game.
That’s what I would do if I could change fnaf AR what do you think.
I think that's a pretty cool idea! 8D
@@notrealnamenotatall2476omg thank you, I didn’t expect anyone to comment or think it was a good idea, I just wish fnaf AR was a bit more interesting but hey maybe they’ll make a new better one in the future who knows.
@@GJames-Legend101 Honestly, I feel like Fnaf AR was a good game with some hiccups. If they could tweak it a bit and work out the kinks, surely they could come out with a new version!
Can we call the white Freddy “Righty” so he’s the opposite of “Lefty” please?
I can confirm there are times in merchlines they will make early designs of characters, I have some in my Cars Collection
I also have a Circus Freddy Plushie, he's a goober, great vid Note!
I'm pretty sure that this lineup is going to be in the future game. Just like five laps at Freddy's did.
I actually really liked them, but that's probably because i also REALLY like clowns
My fave is probably bonnie bc he's the most "clown-like" to me
Love hearing you talk about Bendy for a moment!! I have that Ink Demon figure. I was very confused when I saw DR's Ink Demon. When they opened the archives they said that he had looked goofy in game like that! I looked at my figure again and saw what they meant lmao
“It’s a clown motel, ITS FULLA CLOWNS!!!”
Glamrock Chica was the first to have hair
We all thought that we would show up in the next game but I doubt they are showing up in SOTM since a poster describes how the og gang was barely coming soon. Would have loved to have seen this version of foxy in the game.
6:59 I got a Balloon Foxy action figure for a Foxy fan friend. I love his crafty expression and lil teefs!
Circus Bonnie is my personal fave. Great video, thank you! 💙
I still can't let go of how comical it is that Foxy is just randomly depressed, especially after seeing a meme paring the Spongebob clip of it randomly mentioning Mr. Krabs fell into a deep depression after a war being paired with Foxy randomly showing up
Maybe they came from a popular cartoon? Or maybe a comic book of some sorts. Or maybe Fall Fest?
Wait... I just noticed that sad clown foxy looks almost the exact same as balloon foxy. Maybe the balloon animitronics and the clown animitronics are somehow contacted, maybe.
These designs are so cute i kinda hope they never make a game or comic about them 😭❤ i dont want them to be ruined by jammed in confusing lore placement that barley makes sense. Dont get me wrong, a comic/game for them WOULD be cool but. Sometimes this franchise/marketing can be frustrating
You know what we needed a mystery mini line based off fazbear frights books
Springbonnie, Eleanor, CTW Freddy, plushtrap chaser, fetch, lonely Freddy, stitchwraith etc
I love Chica's design! It's nice to see her in a cutesy design.
Hope we will see circus variants in the new game (Secret of the Mimic). The theming of the carnival and the new clown animatronic suits them well.
Great video. i love that someone is talking the Circus Animatronics. they don't get enough love but there is a balloon foxy action figure. it was a Walmart exclusive. it looked like his funko pop design but as an action figure.
Stuff like this happens all the time with McDonald's Happy Meal toy promotions. In recent memory the new Captain America movie was supposed to come out earlier this year but was later pushed back to who knows when but the toys were still released on schedule McDonald's promotion was going to happen when their promotion was going to happen.
Who knows, maybe they'll show up in Secrets of the Mimic?
4:09 Glamrock Chica has hair.
It's interesting and a little sad to me that Chica's design seems to be done with her original yellow color. The white is pretty nice, but it also makes her look more an adult hen. Idk, just something about a baby chick chica is cute to me
I LOVE your videos oml ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! ^_^
I actually genuinely love these designs tbh
Balloon Foxy got an action figure too actually, I have one.
Secret of the mimic is what I think the circus animatronics will be in because secrets of the mimic is far in the past
been looking forward to this video. thank you for another video
The bigger question is why with no content behind them are the circus animatronics (specifically foxy) some of my favorites
Everyone saying that Chica doesn’t look like a clown, has never seen a Rodeo Clown
They were silly goobers, that's what.
freddy is a whiteface, bonnie is an auguste, chica might be a character or a whiteface, but i imagine that role would be reserved for freddy and foxy is definitely a tramp
the circus guys have some of my favorite designs in the entire series (especially bonnie) i will be huffing copium about them showing up in a game until the end of time even if ten years pass and we don't get anything i will continue to believe. fall fest next year trust
They look just like the Chuck-ee-cheese redesigns. I suppose things have come full circle!
I have the Balloon Chica mystery mini and she is THE CUTEST thing ive ever seen. she activates my cute aggression so bad lol
fnaf - the chibi merch horror
Waiit a minute, this isnt a fnaf vid, this is a bendy vid in disguise!
More seriously tho, rlly interesting vid, didnt kkow about that whole merch issue
I feel like there's a possibility of seeing them in the secret of the mimic
Are these not for the carnival in the new game coming up with the mimic being at the fair?
I was just about to comment how chica looked like Helen henny but then you brought it up😂
I find it kind of strange how Circus Chica looks more like a duck than a chicken
I think the Circus band would have made nice allies.
6:48 "Balloon Chica is a cutesy little check with freckles, a purple, pink, and red assamble." I'm sorry, but, where's the pink? I see purple and red stripes on the shirt and hat. I see blue pants. I don't see any pink.
Also, side note. HOW DO YOU SPELL "ASS-OM-BOL". When I try and look it up, it just thinks I'm trying to say 'assemble', like how you assemble Ikea furniture. Totally different word.
It's ensemble! Ensemble means a group of people or things, but is also used to describe a group of clothing that's themed together.
And I meant purple-pink. Like a shade between the two. ^_^
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 Thanks! I know what the word means, it's just sometimes I have to look up how to spell a certain word, especially if I'm quoting something... And sometimes, I get situations like this, where the internet just doesn't want to tell me. Even tried using voice to text, but that didn't help either, lol.
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 ...and I still say that just looks like purple, honestly.
Saw figures of these in hmv earlier and my partner didnt get why i was so excited lmao
My hmv has nothing lol
Balloon foxy got a figure too
I still believe they were going to part of an event in the mobile game before it shut down 💀
Okay gotta drop the mention that Circus Foxy is clearly based on Emmet Kelly, smelly weary vaguely hobo foxy with a deflated balloon and his ridiculous suspender britches is one of my favorite designs I wish was used for something more than merch
Also is he a tiger or an orange fox wearing white clown makeup? He has fox ears rather than tiger ears? I love this mysterious railroad clown fox and his miscellaneous activity
Hellllooooo hidden fnaf account gem, I am happy to join ur subscribers I think ur cooking with this
Oh, thank you so much! 8D Hope you enjoy the upcoming videos!
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 Feel like there's been an oversaturation of slop on UA-cam and I'm enthusiastic to consume new fnaf content! I like your vids editing, length, script, and topics. Gonna be going thru ur uploads for the next week at least lol. :3 keep up the good work!
Balloon foxy also has an action figure. It's a walmart exclusive
Is it weird to say that if all of the Bonny variations, Circus Bonny is my favorite in terms of design
One of the reasons I support my theory that these characters are or were for some game/book/material etc is that Funko not only created them as unique and detailed models, but Funko was not the only company to make merchandise, long before even the list of names of these characters was leaked, a Balloon Freddy t-shirt had been revealed, this was long before the leak of the list of names and the revelation of the merch
Michael Afton is the kind of person who grabs a bunch of bubble gum balance a bunch of them in one hand and shove them all in he's mouth
0:10 Trident
Also let’s not forget the biggest mystery of them all: why did Mrs Afton find William attractive when he’s the ugliest thing in the multiverse
Man, funko would literally do anything except make fnaf 2 merch
FNAF merches itself so much that it's able to make Star Wars and Looney Tunes during the 90s blush
the batdr figures mention floored me because i actually do have the original bendy figured based on batdr toon bendy- never knew they made newer ones!! i'll have to look into that when i actually have money again
No SusReal except "that sweet moolah moolah" but I'm not sure if that counts
A similar situation to the bendy one, but not horror game related, back in 2000 before the game Sonic Adventure 2 released, the 2 new characters (Shadow and Rouge) had yet to be fully revealed (Shadow was in the trailer, but not named, and Rouge wasn't shown at all) a merchandise company revealed their new wave of Sonic Adventure figures, including figures of Shadow amd Rouge, which completely ruined the secrecy Sega was trying to keep around Shadow before the game released. Also coincidentally the merch company that leaked the characters went out of business shortly after that happened, and the figures themselves were canceled
