aw, I was half-hoping these'd be like the Funko vinyl figures they made a few years back, not POPs. still, how exciting :O Although, no Blue Belle??

Excited that my fave CC is getting a keyring though, I love the keyring size but they've never released a char I like in that series before... definitely picking that up.

Cries as I give Funko my money, they rip the $50 out of my hand. They could at least make a Butterscotch keychain!
I am curious to see how these will look.

I hate funko pops with a passion so I won't be getting any of these creepy things. And what is with the Golden Girls merch boom? I saw Golden Girl socks of all things. I like em, but not enough to buy stuff. Woulda been interested in Candy Land stuff if they were normal.

[Carrehz]

I don't understand the sudden explosion of Golden Girls stuff. Feels like every other cartoon is parodying them lately, too. Weird.

Gonna give them a pass, I dont get the whole craze around these.

[Featherwurm]

I don't get the POPS at all (I personally hate the look).  I guess if you collect those and pony stuff it's good.

Funko, however, single-highhandedly destroyed the emerging vinyl artist market in the US and for that I will never give them a CENT (fortunately the Japanese market still thrives).  They also produce incredibly sub-par work (compare Funko figures to those from Tokidoki - you'll almost never see registration issues, seams, and misspainting on the Tokidoki figures, when they're abundant on Funko figures.)

I am more irritated by the stupid comment about 'bronies' coming out for these.
Bronies are more likely to be fuming over it as it's not the M6.

I'm not really interested in funko pony stuff but it's interesting the retro is rolling on.

I like Funko Pops but  it's been a while since I've seen any that were must haves.  My budget has been limited lately so I've had to really watch my spending.  I hope these look nice.  I wasn't a fan of those cupcake head Funko ponies that were out a few years ago. 


The Candyland ones also sound interesting.  Queen Frostine was always my favorite character on the board.

It's neat to see more retro pony stuff, but that's about it. I don't like Pops and I'm sick of seeing the Collector Pose ponies get shoved into everything. Or, the "Original Mane Six" as Hasbro likes to call them.

I get that they're the originals, but is it just me, or is it an unpopular choice...? Why don't they ever make stuff for ponies people actually want to see, like Firefly, Twilight, Applejack, etc? These characters are more beloved by collectors and even bronies know about them. It's a win/win. Yes I know things like the Loyal Subjects vinyls exist that have variety, but it's so weird that they keep coming back to these ponies that the mainstream doesn't care for instead of Firefly or something.

That said... they could have at least included Butterscotch. She's the only one I really care about in this set. Maybe Snuzzle.

Firefly got:
Loyal Subjects Firefly
Hallmark Ornament Firefly
Mini MLP and Book Firefly
Basic Fun Firefly

Applejack got
Loyal Subjects Applejack
Basic Fun Applejack, Stranger Things Applejack and G3 Applejack
While the retro mane six AJ looks a lot like RaMC AJ...if she only had her symbol on one side.

Twilight got:
Basic Fun Twilight
SDCC 2019 Twilight

I'd hardly say they've gotten nothing.

I really dislike funko pop figures, kind of passionately, but I'm a simple woman: I see Minty, I want Minty.
Not gonna go actively searching for these, but if I do come across the Minty, I might just pick her up. Fun seeing more g1 stuff coming out :)But yes, where's Blue Belle?

Me too! Along with the peppermint dude and the chocolate Gloppy monster.

Oh, look at that, another incomplete set :’) what is it with Funko and making all but 1 or 2 of a set of characters? We never did get Applejack or Rarity, and now we’re not getting Bluebell. If they’d made all 6 I’d get em, but as it is I’ll be skipping these unless I cave and start a Snuzzle army like I’ve been resisting temptation over for years.

I agree with Featherwurm's posting. Vinyl Toys had so much potential!
I think it just feels like the original six get so much focus because, like, the 25th anns, the 35th anns, the world's smallest, the squishy things...
