Update On The G1 Action Vinyls!

[StarlightFrost]

So it's been a while and the original thread on this has sunk into the back pages, here's what i am talking about for the unaware:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


These are MLP Action Vinyls (the above are prototypes from the Toy Fair) from the company The Loyal Subjects. They will be in blind boxes and are about 3-4 inches tall with articulation. There will probably be a chase figure or two but i can't remember if that was confirmed.
The prototypes are subject to change so they may not look the same as the picture above anymore.

(There was more info on the old thread, http://mlparena.com/index.php?topic=376450.0
It's a big thread, but there was a bunch of info at the time of the toy fair earlier this year. Keep in mind TLS might have changed some things since it has been a few months.)

These were announced some months back and I was keeping an eye on their facebook for any more info. None appeared.

So I decided to message them on facebook a few days ago. I asked a few questions: Are these ponies still being worked on? When will they be released? And the final was because I was curious: Why did TLS decide to pick up on the g1 license when it seems a lot of their other toylines were traditionally 'for boys'? (TMNT and Transformers were what primarily came to mind at the time)

Here's the reply

Hi -Name-,

Yes, we are indeed still coming out with My Little Pony Action Vinyls, and are hoping to have them out by the end of this Summer.  Trust that we're looking forward to them too

We decided to pick up the license, because there's a ton of G1 collectors out there who need something fresh to add to their collections!  Plus, they're so cute!

Thanks again for the support, and I hope we can continue to earn it!

All the best,
TLS

I thought that was super cool so I wanted to let others know.
Also I'm personally hyped that they'll be released in the relatively near future!

I love that reason. So true. I can't wait to get them all. I mean it. I am buying an entire box.

*faints*  I need the Minty at least!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mothums]

I was just thinking about this line a few days ago, I'm glad they are still planning on releasing them! They are so cute!

[PrincessTiffy]

Oh good, I'm so glad! I need some of these, especially Princess sparkle!
And they seem like a great company who really seem to care which is great

[lunap99]

I also would be tempted to buy a whole case just to get them all.

They care more about us then Hasbro does that's for sure. I'll pick some of the set up just cuz of that. My daughter is eyeing Firefly for a custom and she wants Lickety -split and she wants a unicorn as well. I sure would like to have Sundance or Snuzzle.

Still having a hard time getting over those proportions.

[brightberry]

The proportions are strange, but that Gusty is so cute!  Plus, as they are so small, the proportions may not look as odd in person.

[rosierjay]

i'll get some for customizing purposes, but probably not to collect.

They definitely are. I have talked to them in the past once or twice and they were similarly polite and nice to contact. They also said back at that time that they were taking peoples' feedback into consideration, such as the colors and proportions. So who knows, maybe they've tweaked some things.

I think they're really cute either way, and thrilled that g1 collectors are getting a chance to collect something new and good quality.

[Itcheeee]

I'm so glad they didn't get dropped. I can not wait for Minty and AJ! I might fall for a few more though depending on how easy they are to find xD

[ponycake]

Everything they do is kind of 'chibi' styled from what I remember. I don't think they'll be abandoning that when that's what they do and what they put out.

It doesn't bother me personally. I still hope they're successful and put out more characters than just the ones we keep getting on retro clothing, the same characters and same poses over and over again.

[Taxel]

Oh these are cute! I'm so excited! I'd love to get them all, but especially Sundance.

[Einhornbaby]

Ooooooh they are soo cute The more I look at them the more I like them! So crossing my fingers they will come to europe too <3

[Leave a Whisper]

Does anyone have any of The Loyal Subjects other toylines? What's the quality like?
