MLP G1 Vinyls Coming Soon

[Leave a Whisper]

I was looking at their other mini-figure sets, because whatever they do for Transformers, TMNT, etc, will probably be the same as they do for MLP.

From what I can tell, a set usually has 8 common figures and up to 3 chase figures (i.e. rare figures), and the typical case will have two of each common.  (A case has a total of 16 blind boxes in it.)  This seems to be pre-set, not random--like, even if Donatello and Rafael have the same level of rarity, you aren't going to get a case with 4 Donatellos and zero Rafaels.

BUT sometimes one or more common figures switched out for a chase figure, and that part IS randomized.  It is pure chance whether a case you order has a chase figure or not. 

They often have three chase figures per set, with the odds of getting them being 1-in-16, 1-in-24, and 1-in-96.  Whether they're doing this for MLP is uncertain, because from what Foxtale said it sounded like there might be only one chase figure?

Also, we have seen 9 figures to date.  If we assume that The Loyal Subjects are following their usual set-up of having 8 commons, one of the ponies we've already seen may be a chase figure.

Who I think will be Commons
Gusty
Applejack
Sundance
Purple Glory
Lickety-split
Minty
Firefly

I think the Chase figure will either be
Princess Sparkle or
Snuzzle

I'm going to be extremely surprised if the un-revealed chase figure isn't Starshine.

You know what's kinda strange? I went to the loyal subject website and there was no mention of these at all.

If they fixed those wings I'd be after her in a heartbeat.

Well, it could be Birthflower pony Rose, she's another one who gets tons of retro stuff.    But I'd much prefer Starshine.

Someone's childhood favorite must have been Rose.  I'll bet all the other birthflowers are jealous.

Probably due to still working out the kinks and all, since what was shown at the fair was more or less prototypes
