Jaws, Casper, The Mummy and Bride of Frankenstein now come on mini VHS tapes that really play. Slide one into MGA’s Miniverse Real TV, a working mini TV, and it shows a 30-second clip from the movie. The Real TV Player is $24.99 in MGA’s online shop, and the tapes come three to a $11.99 mystery capsule.
The Horror Tapes: Jaws, Casper, The Mummy, Bride of Frankenstein and The Munsters
MGA’s product and press photos show these tapes, each in a tiny printed box:
- Jaws: the poster’s great white shark rising toward a swimmer, under a red Jaws logo.
- Casper: the friendly ghost’s face over a dark castle.
- The Mummy: gold lettering on a brown, sandy face.
- Bride of Frankenstein: a black-and-white photo of the Bride with her tall, white-streaked hair.
- The Munsters: a black-and-white photo of the Munster family under a green logo, shown in a clear keychain case.
The same photos show tapes for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Back to the Future, Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon, The Land Before Time, Wicked, Weird Science, The Office, Parks and Recreation, The Good Place and Saved by the Bell, plus two gold boxes marked Ultra Rare.
MGA Entertainment announced the Real TV on Nov. 10 with more than 30 playable mini video tapes inspired by NBCUniversal’s movies and TV shows. “The screen may be tiny, but the idea is anything but,” said Josh Hackbarth, chief marketing officer of MGA Entertainment. “Miniverse Real TV takes the movies and shows fans love and transforms them into a collection they can actually press play on.”
What Comes With the $24.99 Real TV Player
The Real TV Player set includes the red mini TV, one exclusive playable mini videotape, a mini TV stand and a mini video display case, a two-tier shelf for the tapes. MGA’s photos show the included tape in a plain blue Mini Video Tape box, labeled Stuff + Things, playing a rocket launch on the TV’s screen. The red TV has two silver dials beside the screen and a tape slot under it, with four round buttons.
The Real TV works like another MGA’s Miniverse mini collectible in the same shop, the $21.99 Real Music Record Player, which plays 30-second song clips from mini vinyl records sold four to a $11.99 blind pack.
The Real TV Player is for ages 8 and up, and it had an Add to Cart button in MGA’s online shop on Nov. 11.
How the $11.99 Mystery Capsules Work
Real TV Videos come in a pink-and-purple capsule ball for $11.99, with Jaws, Back to the Future and Kung Fu Panda art on the wrap. Each capsule holds three mystery mini tapes and one mini keychain, a clear case on a ball chain that holds a favorite tape’s box. The tapes are random and blind-packed, MGA can’t take requests for specific tapes, and you may get duplicates.
The capsules were marked sold out in MGA’s online shop on Nov. 11, with an email sign-up for when they’re back in stock.
Where to Buy
MGA sells the Real TV Player and the Real TV Videos capsules on its Miniverse Real TV shop page, and more retailers will carry them later this month, MGA said on Nov. 10.
