Standout parts (per reviewers)

Scooby Doo new mouldValue
Made of 2 parts with detachable head and solid body, allowing the head to be swiveled for articulation. Sharp and crispy printing with terrified grimace/smile expression.
Fred's new hairpiece
Brand new to the Scooby Doo theme, bright and stylish design. Reviewer particularly likes it.
Shaggy's new hairpiece
Brand new to the Scooby Doo theme, though reviewer notes the proportions look slightly off due to it being 'too big'.
Printed hubcaps
Nice detail on the Mystery Machine.
23 stickers total
Large number of stickers applied to the Mystery Machine for personality and detail, though mostly easy to apply. Ungodly amount but justified for authenticity.
Zombie/Zeke's ghoulish green skin toneValue
Looks exactly like glow in the dark but is regular plastic. Reviewer was excited thinking it was glow in the dark.
