Title: Two more Funko Vinyls.
Post by: BerryPunch on October 25, 2012, 01:07:27 PM

I’m perfectly happy with Doctor Whooves… why Fluttershy, though. I guess it makes up for her blind bag abuse, but I’m really disappointing we did not get Vinyl Scratch. I did realize we now have Doctor Whooves to go with our Drama Pony, though… and MORE BOY PONIES!!! :D
 
And with names, Doctor Whooves was used in the upcoming Gameloft game, along with Time Turner, and Doctor Hooves has been used with official merch, so he has those three names now. Kinda confusing.

Ahh, yay! I have to get my hands on Dr. Hooves! :D Thank you so much for posting.

I guess it works out pretty good, I mean, lots of fans love the Rainbow/Fluttershy paring, and TimeBubbles is another big one.  ^.^

Anyone else noticing they're rather pegasus-heavy on this line so far?

I really hope we see a unicorn, or Luna! I do like how a stallion is included, though.

I am really happy to see Fluttershy for a couple of reasons. 1. None of her Hasbro figures look anything like anything like her show appearance, so she deserves a nice accurate vinyl figure. 2. This pretty much guarantees that Funko is going to keep making more pony figures. I would guess we will continue to see the trend of one fan pony and one Mane 6 pony. 3. She is my favorite pony!

With as quick as The Pony Who Shalt Not Be Named and Rainbow Dash sold out, I am sure that Funko sees the demand for more vinyl ponies. And I am willing to bet that DJ PON-3 is not too far off.

Ok, looking back, Fluttershy is a pretty good pony to use.  :yikes: Finally she will get an on model figure

I don't care for either one to be honest, but I still want both.
Sigh.

Are the Dash and Ditzy ponies sold out for good? I didn't like them enough at first to get right on the ball, but the more and more I see them....

And then someone posted the link here to the official site, and now I need a collection of Michael Jackson and Muppet POPs. *sigh* If you buy a single pony....
Title: Re: Two more Funko Vinyls.
Post by: khyron on October 25, 2012, 01:24:06 PM
I'm going to get both.  I can hardly stop myself, but...

I really hope that they finally produce a molded product where Fluttershy gets her actual hairstyle.  Heck, I'd buy TWO if they got her right.

As for the Doctor, I'd LOVE it if they'd package him so he's facing the opposite direction as DH faces, so I can face them toward one another.  That'd be a nice display, even in the box.  :)

While I can't say for sure, I'd doubt it.  They sold out so fast (Ditzy was in a day or something) and they aren't limited, so I feel confident they will get more in stock.

Post by: ShortyBoo on October 25, 2012, 01:29:54 PM
I definitely need Fluttershy. She's my favorite of the main six. I don't really care about Dr. Hooves, though. Are these next ones going to be Hot Topic exclusives again? I hope not. I don't have a local one anymore and I like to buy things in person, especially things that can vary in quality.

As for other characters I'd like to see, I'm hoping they'll make Luna, Trixie, Lyra and Rarity. I'd buy any of those four. As much as I love Pinkie Pie (she's my second fave of the main six), I have tons of Pinkie Pie stuff already, so with how pricey these figures are, I'd really rather spend my money on characters that don't already have so much. That's why I got the :muffin: Pony figure, but skipped over Dash. RD has almost as much merchandise as Pinkie Pie.

Funko just said on their Facebook that the ponies are not a limited run but that they do eventually retire most of their figures. They also said that they are not exclusive to Hot Topic. So hopefully, for everypony that wasn't able to get Ditzy and Dash they will start showing up other places soon!

Can't wait to see what these 2 look like!

What other stores besides Barnes & Noble carry Funko figures? I want to know where to keep an eye out for Fluttershy. I can get it from B&N since it's just down the street, but every non-book item they sell is super over-priced and I'm sure these wouldn't be an exception.
Title: Re: Two more Funko Vinyls.

Curious to see how they look. I do hope they will put some more effort into the details though.
My RD looks kinda rushed.

Hott Topic, online and in stores, have started carrying the Funko ponies. I managed to get the Ditzy Doo pony from my nearby Hot Topic yesterday. She was $14.70, without tax.

As far as brick and mortar stores go I know that FYE carries Funkos as I bought my Freddy Krueger POP from there. For online stores there are a lot of options: Amazon, Entertainment Earth, Gemini Collectibles and I am sure a lot more.

The Doctor is an interesting choice, not something I'd buy, but it's nice to see them making a character who would have had pretty much zero chance of getting a brushable. I wonder if they'll do all the Mane Six and fandom "background six"? I'd love Octavia.

And it's nice Fluttershy is getting another toy that actually has her proper hair.

I can definitely see them doing a fan favorite 6 and a Mane 6. I would love to have an Octavia as well as DJ PON-3 and Lyra Heartstrings. And I think an in scale Celestia and Nightmare Moon/Luna would be awesome as well. Really once they get the bodies for the other pony types there could be no limit to what they could put out. I am kind of curious if their license from Hasbro has any exclusions as to what they can make.
Title: Re: Two more Funko Vinyls.
Post by: RavenFeather on October 25, 2012, 03:58:45 PM
I like how they are releasing the Mane 6 with the popular Backgrounders. 

I could see Pinkie and DJ being a wave, And Rarity and Octavia?  Applejack and Big Mac makes sense..
Wonder who Twilight would be with? Trixie?  Shining Armor Maybe?  or Maybe Shining Armor and Cadance would be together?  Celestia and Luna together would be nice...Maybe even a Deluxe figure on it's own of Discord?  I'd buy that in a heartbeat!!!

I found the vinyl Rainbow Dash when I was on vacation and on a tour of Hollywood/LA!  Still need to find Ditzy though..

I hope there's a Big Macintosh. It would be nice to see ponies that the writers put effort into developing as characters, rather than just shiny background characters. I also hope for a Cheerilee.

As for being pegasus heavy, I'm guessing they want to get most of their pegasus mold.

I would be reasonably certain he will be called Time Turner or something similar to be honest. Calling him Dr Hooves will run them into all manner of different problems. Dr Who is an intellectual/creative product that the BBC protect almost possessively.

Cant wait to see what these ones look like!

Post by: StarlightGaze on October 25, 2012, 04:45:53 PM
Hasbro registered him as Dr Hooves/Doctor Hooves, as they were able to pass legal by leaving out the W in Whooves.

Frankly I thought they were going to do Dr Hooves and DJ Pon-3!

Post by: hathorcat on October 25, 2012, 05:04:39 PM
Last I heard they were not able to register that name and it doesn't show up as a name registered as a trademark...do you know when it was done? I am impressed and surprised they managed to agree it without the potential claims of infringement.

I'm also really glad that they're releasing one mane six character with one background character. Not only do we get more show-accurate versions of the mane six, we also get characters that might not otherwise be made into toys. The best of both worlds! :biggrin:

It IS a collectible. Like Tokidoki vinyl collectables, where it clearly says on the box that it's collectable art and not a toy. These are meant to be displayed more than played with.

I know what they're for. My post was about the word being on the box. Kidrobot is able to convey it without having the word being part of the display, so I think other companies could do it, too. I like the way these Funko MLPs display except for those two words at the top.

I feel that the word is used to help bolster sales, to make people think they're getting something that's of higher value than the "regular" toy, when it'll be up to the collector's market in the end.

Those two are wise choices, by that logic I would guess DJ and AJ w/ hat & freckles next wave. I'm sure I'll be wrong though, as I wouldn't have predicted Doc Hooves.

Regardless it's nice to have a toy company that understands the venn diagram of pony fans and show fans.

Unless that's changed by now?

They may have got confirmation from Hasbro but HB still haven't registered the TM so at this point its unofficial and unlikely to ever be on an HB toy until a TM is in place. With the BBC licensing out Dr Who to toy manufacturers it would certainly be impressive if they got a TM on it.

Licensing is a little different however and printing it on a t-shirt is different from making a toy/collectable but perhaps using Funko is how HB are going to get around 1) satisfying the fans who seem to want moulded ponies and 2) releasing characters that they simply cant or don't want to release in the actual toy line.     

They may very well do it and to be honest it keeps it in line with the popularity of the character - hopefully the powers that be behind Dr Who just see it as a nice little nod to themselves and don't decide it infringes in anyway.

How much do these ponies go for? I'm not normally one for things that aren't brushable, but I like the idea of Dr. Hooves. It's probably the only way to get him. And since he won't be tiny like the blind bags, I can buy without regret. lol

Post by: Tulips on October 26, 2012, 06:09:18 AM
Yeah what is the price? I seem to remember something like $12 or $15? Of course on ebay they mostly start at $30ish and international postage kills any chance of me getting them from anywhere online :(

Aha! I'll bet you're right, this is the perfect way for Hasbro to get some money from the older collector community without running the risk of alienating their other buyers with characters that wouldn't normally sell--just license someone else to make the toys! (Er, 'collectables' I mean haha)

Clever company is clever.... (Well, they didn't get to be one of the biggest toy distributors in the world without doing a few clever things I guess!)


@T.L. Squiggle: Yeah they're $14.99 in stores here. Not too bad, but they are HEAVY! They're not hollow like MLP toys, they're solid heavy plastic! >.< I think that's going to drive up shipping price.

The body of the vinyl figure is thin (because that's the show style) but the head is big and round...that's the heaviest part of the whole figure, the giant head and mane. I always fear my RD is going to do a faceplant and fall off my desk, but so far it hasn't happened. Thankfully she has that heavy tail to help balance.


As for me, personally I am hoping for a DJ PON3 figure cuz... that would be cool. >.>;;

Post by: Tulips on October 26, 2012, 06:48:17 AM
The shipping price mostly has to do with insurance. ebay sellers can do about $15 cheapest (but scalp for $30 or u watch the auction skyrocket anyway), Hot Topic does $30+ insured.
I just wish they would tell us if they would be available in Aussie stores! There's several here that carry Funko items and I'd rather buy these in person or at least online from an AU store so the shipping wasn't too painful. Of course emailing the stores usually gets nada info too

To me, collectable just sounds like they will have more later to add to a collection. What really gets sales racked up is if they had the words "Limited Edition". Limited Edition anything will make people want it because they know it will be difficult to get later.

I like the Funko pony designs, and while I was tempted when they first popped up, I've avoided ordering RD and "Bubbles", just because their characters don't do much for me. I'm really happy to see these two though. Fluttershy is a must, while I'll have to wait and see "Dr. Whooves" to make a decision. I'm a newly found Doctor Who fan and I like the connection the FIM fandom has made with this character just for the novelty factor alone.

EDIT: Now that I've gone back and read through the thread, I guess it is nice that they are releasing the mane 6 and a bg pony together...just as long as they make all the mane 6!

I think getting "more of the mane 6" is what people complain about the most 'round here- so there is probably a reason no one agreed with you.

I actually think that it is genius of Funko to release a standard character together with a background character that is very unlikely to ever be released en mass-  so fun!  I really hope they keep doing this and it doesn't fizzle- but given the popularity thus far, I am pretty optimistic on that front.

Given how fast the last set was announced and then appeared and then sold out- I find myself checking Hottopic.com obsessively.... I know they will probably appear in stores too- but the nearest Hottopic is QUITE a drive for me, so I never ever go there.   I wish the'd give us a time frame (or did they and maybe I missed it?)

I know they will probably appear in stores too- but the nearest Hottopic is QUITE a drive for me, so I never ever go there.   I wish the'd give us a time frame (or did they and maybe I missed it?)


See my edit. :) As long as they make the Mane 6 I think it's awesome too. I was just thinking maybe they wouldn't keep making these. I know there's a lot of Mane 6 out there already, but I just wanna see all of them in this style. I'm kind of the minority in that I really don't care about background ponies much.

Based on the characters that appear most frequently at Hot Topic and WeLoveFine  (which seems to be the crowd Funko is catering to)

I think Trixie, DJ-Pon, and Octavia are the most likely background characters to appear!  Lyra and Big Mac maybe- but they seem to appear less often on these sites...

Luna, Celestia and Spike are also popular- but given the likely issues that would arise due to the differences in size from these characters to the regular ponies (and given that all of Funko's characters seem to be about the same size to fit into that box) - I bet they will skip these characters.  If they made a Luna the same size as Rainbow Dash- imagine the whining that would ensue.

The shipping price mostly has to do with insurance. ebay sellers can do about $15 cheapest (but scalp for $30 or u watch the auction skyrocket anyway), Hot Topic does $30+ insured.
I just wish they would tell us if they would be available in Aussie stores! There's several here that carry Funko items and I'd rather buy these in person or at least online from an AU store so the shipping wasn't too painful. Of course emailing the stores usually gets nada info too

You should try speaking to Funko via facebook or twitter - they are a really social media friendly company and putting a simple question like whether they know if the lines are being taken on by any retailers in Aus may be something they can tell you.

Those two are wise choices, by that logic I would guess DJ and AJ w/ hat & freckles next wave. I'm sure I'll be wrong though, as I wouldn't have predicted Doc Hooves.
An AJ with freckles and the correct hat would be absolutely fabulous!! I hate the pink hat that my fs applejack came with.

They could probably make the princess ponies a little smaller, but I wouldn't bet on a Spike. He's just completely differently shaped from all the characters so it would be a difficult mold to recycle.

He he he - great minds think alike I guess!

It sounds like at the moment they dont have anyone planning to carry them for certain but hopefully that will change - they are new enough that they could only be becoming available in Funko stock lists in the next few months.

Agreed-

But when a store hears requests (particularly multiple requests)  for a certain product- they might consider ordering some to carry (I am sure that is what Funko was hoping)

So cool to see more of these - and Fluttershy, yay! :heart:  I'm really not a fan of crossover stuff between unrelated TV shows so Dr. (W)Hooves has never been a favorite of mine, but I'm excited to see them make a boy all the same.  I do like brown ponies though, so I guess I'll see!  I definitely agree with everyone else who has said that one main 6 + one background pony release pattern that seems to be appearing is a great idea.
Title: Re: Two more Funko Vinyls.
Post by: appletini on October 27, 2012, 01:37:16 AM
All I'll say is that I hope Fluttershy gets her own mold for once instead of another RD recolor. As for the Dr. I'll probably pick him up as well. But I'm fairly indifferent to him as a character since I'm not big on the tv show he represents. Also, I wish they would give a release date for these instead of just suddenly having them appear.

Also Has anyone yet heard if the first two are going to get restocked ever? I managed to pick up the pair for myself but I've heard rumors that it's gone permanently out of stock, mostly from worried fans that missed out. Personally I'd be shocked if it was limited release. For one they never said it was, that I know of, and You'd think with how fast the comic con :muffin: Pony sold out they'd market the heck out of this one. As it is she's selling for an insane amount on Ebay. Selling for up to $50 alone and $70 for the pair seems to be the average.

Also, way off topic, but for those looking I've been keeping an eye on the comic con :muffin: Pony on ebay and the prices have dropped back down to around $100 bucks. It seems  the influx of the cheaper priced Hot Topic :muffin: Pony sated those fans that wanted a toy of her and she's steadily floating back down in price.  So anyone still looking, now is probably the time to buy.

I think Trixie, DJ-Pon, and Octavia are the most likely background characters to appear!  Lyra and Big Mac maybe- but they seem to appear less often on these sites...

I have been waiting for an Octavia...  well, anything.  I realized that a brushable may not happen because she's a gray pony with dark gray hair, and she probably wouldn't appeal to the five-year-old-girl market.  So getting a vinyl from Hot Topic would be nice...  Hopefully we'll someday get a blindbag of her, too.

Octavia's my favorite pony.   :cry:  I really hope they make her.

I think this would be an interesting way to market the background character ponies, licensing them out like this...  That way Hasbro could keep releasing occasional friends for the Mane 6 in brushables each year.

Post by: Tulips on October 30, 2012, 09:32:06 PM
I don't know if anyone is interested to know this but I got a little info from Funko about these.
Hot Topic has an exclusive selling period deal, we shouldn't see these for sale anywhere else until Feb/March 2013.

*insert rant*
This has really annoyed me because I've been running around contacting Australia stores that Funko has recommended only to later be told by Funko that these stores won't be offered the chance to stock them for months, then why did you tell me to ask them now? One store even said that were completely unaware of their existence and they doubted they were in fact Funko, they're not even on Funko's wholesale catalogue yet... If I had exclusive rights to sell these ponies I think the entire world would know lol, hopefully Hot Topic will pick it up and have enough stock to satisfy but I still need to learn patience and wait the 5-6 months for Australia stores to be able stock these so I don't have to pay huge shipping or scalpers costs.

Post by: Saiko on October 31, 2012, 06:31:33 AM
I really like that they're going to be making more of these, but does the box really have to say "vinyl collectible"? I hate it when a toy says it's "collectible" or "collector's edition" on the box. Companies like Kidrobot don't have this problem, and therefore don't need to write 'collectible' on the box, because their toys and brands have always been for adults.

It IS a collectible. Like Tokidoki vinyl collectables, where it clearly says on the box that it's collectable art and not a toy. These are meant to be displayed more than played with.
I know what they're for. My post was about the word being on the box. Kidrobot is able to convey it without having the word being part of the display, so I think other companies could do it, too. I like the way these Funko MLPs display except for those two words at the top.

I feel that the word is used to help bolster sales, to make people think they're getting something that's of higher value than the "regular" toy, when it'll be up to the collector's market in the end.

I suppose it's because parents will see these, see the words "My Little Pony" and assume (rightly so, really)  it would be a good toy for their children. And they're not suitable for kids, those hairstyles look sharp! As this is the first time ever that pony figures have been marketed to adults, they're really just trying to convey the 'not for children' angle.

Thats interesting info T.L.Squiggle - frustrating yes but at least its a time-barred exclusive. It would have been worse if it was a retailer exclusive and if it was a worldwide exclusive. At least with a restricted period and not being restricted in countries there is more chance of them being picked up.

I am glad it will not be an exclusive too- that just feeds the scalpers.  I think Funko's advice to "not pay top dollar" was good- these will be out everywhere eventually, probably...

But I always fear I will miss out when and if they ever do come out- so I have been checking hottopic.com daily- I wish there was a time frame announced for the next set, Funko did say "soon" but that could mean what? Days? Weeks? Months?  They might not even know...

Not sure how to feel about them. They both look a bit dopey and i don't get why they changed the materials.
However it's fun that they will also release a crystal version and giving Time Turner a tie is a nice little extra.
Doubt i will get all 4 though. My G4 collection already looks pretty "copy paste".

WOW- those look really different!  Not what I was expecting based on the last two- but I will for sure get them. visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Are the re-released RD & Derp more glossy like this?  I love the way the look but they don't exactly match by existing Funko ponies...

THANKS FOR SHARING THE PICS!   For ease of reference...

They don't really look like they are made out of that vinyl resin anymore-  I hope that the glossiness is just a surface coat.... I LIKE the heavieness of RD & D


You know- I bet they switched materials because RD & D were so rough-  people probably complained about the texture and you could see flaws much more easily with the heavy vinyl-

But still-  the new look is neat but kind of reminds me of shampoo bottles or something-  I hope they are heavier than they look...  I bought the prototypes already sight unseen- can't wait to see how they compare with the final product.

Maybe next one will be Pinkie Pie and DJ Pon-3 or something.

True, but I don't think they intended them to be different and I didn't feel the need to have both slightly different versions of Rainbow Dash or Bubbles (although I did want the wonky bubble version more than the 7 bubbles).

I think I might end up getting both versions of Fluttershy. I just don't like how expensive they are, because I'll have to pay shipping since I don't have a Hot Topic nearby. But I haven't bought any MLP items since last fall, so I guess it's ok. I just hope the Build-A-Bear ponies don't come out too close to these because I won't be able to afford them.

I would think they will be making all 4 although perhaps the transparent will be limited or more expensive [maybe?]...they wouldnt get away with tempting and then not following through. Some collectors are hard core serious about these and a teaser of ponies which they werent going to release would no doubt end up with a backlash :P

Naa- because he said that one set was "white" and one "color" - so I assume they will look a bit like the last set of protots (solid base color & solid white).   However, I AM very curious whether the protos will have that look above, or the look of the original resin...

Hottopic said we could start "preordering" the ponies next week, which means they are probably already being shipped from the manufacturer and Hottopic already has the numbers for how many they will receive...

I can't wait!

My Crystal Fluttershy & Dr. will look so cool next to their crystal BB minions - yay!

I hope the ones released are more matte too. The shininess makes them look a bit cheap but maybe it would reduce the seam line problems. I will  still buy them either way. I have to say I was not expecting the crystal one one bit. It is an interesting surprise.

Thats an interesting point - Funko figures do tend to be very rigid in their design a lot of the time - but these would have been a great opportunity to have ponies in active poses.

Funko has chase figures. Usually 1 in every case. The ponies are a case of 24 and so 1 out of every 24 is the sparkly one so that's the chase figure.

I'm trying to decide if I should order more than 1 of each to improve my chances of getting a chase....

Why are they even more over-priced than the first two?

I don't think they will be blind boxed. I've collected funkos other lines of toys/collectibles for years. One of the lines I collect is the pop figures. So in a master case (36) of say Wonder Woman 35 will be the regular Wonder Woman figure but 1 will be a chase  in the case of Wonder Woman the chase has metallic paint. But for some of the other figures might have blood splatter (horror line), glow in the dark or in the case of the MLP be 'glittery'. In all cases they are in regular boxes but the 'chase' figures have a small sticker on the window. Here are a few pics (wonder woman's chase is pretty subtle but here is pics of flash) regular

Chase

Noooo!  Chase figures, really?! :yikes: That's disappointing.  Maybe I need to re-evaluate how I collect these. I really do want all of them but I don't want to kill the fun by stressing over seeking the variants out either.   :pullhair: I'm not even sure I want to pre-order these now. Maybe I will just wait to see what I can find in stores because if I only get 2 I want regular Fluttershy and regular Dr. Whooves with the green tie (because that is what color his tie is when he wears one in "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000"). I do have some consolation in knowing that the MLP Funko figures will no longer be exclusive to Hot Topic come spring so maybe they won't be impossible to find but  >_< this news is frustrating.

Its disappointing to hear that you can't pick which figure you will get. I really want the sparkle versions of both of them. Oh well. I ended up ordering 2 of each to increase my chances. I'd be happy to trade a normal one for the glitter version if someone gets one they don't want. I used this promo code for $30 off an order of $60 or more $30 off $60: BH2WB7V3.

I'm actually very quickly falling out of love with these figures. Maybe when they finally actually hit stores in Australia (crosses fingers) and I see them in person it'll be different.
I think they really missed a chance to be creative with unique poses for every pony, using the same basic body shape is what we've already got from Hasbro. I would have gladly payed extra for ponies with unique poses that expressed their character! But maybe if you buy the entire set and have them standing together they will look like an impressive army just like any Funko. *shrug* I just with them down under now, stupid Hot Topic. :P

I was able to use my hot cash :) all 150 dllrs of it :) had to do an order by phone though , cause the max for codes online is 75 dllrs.

@Pony Adventures - posting promo codes is fine...in fact its fantastic to help out fellow members :)

@Pinkamena - unfortunately at the moment its shipping from the US Hot Topic only - I am sure if you post over in TS you ll find someone to help you out however. Thankfully the exclusivity deal that HT had expires soon so this makes it more likely HT can start selling the product to other retailers. Many comic book shops and specialist outlets like Forbidden Planet carry Funko so if they make it here thats the best bet.

I have come across Chasers before as a collector and I know its something Funko with their big collectors focus like to do, but I ll admit I had hoped it wouldnt be something we would see with MLP. Guess we know what items will be hitting crazy prices on ebay next month.

Just bought my two with my hot cash:D Not bad about $12 each after shipping. I'm really hoping for the clear ones but I'll just be happy with what I get. I do like that they tell you the street date though because HT is really good about having the stuff on the shelves so I'll at least go out and look when they come out if I don't. I'm just so happy to have some new figures!

Does anyone know how Hot Topic's shipping works if part of my order is in stock and the other is pre-order? Will they ship what's available or hold it until it's all available to ship at once? I haven't been able to find out and I would like to know before I place an order.

I'd like to know as well. The comic is set to come out at the end of this month, the ponies not until the end of the next. I'm wondering if they'll wait and ship them all together. I've never preordered anything from Hot Topic before. It doesn't really make a difference to me, as I'm buying another version of comic #3 when it comes out, but I'm kind of curious to see what they do with my order.

Any very nice wonderful Americans willing to pick up a pony each for a Canadian?  the shipping over here is $40 :(  I'm only after the solid coloured ones, so if buy chance it comes as the chase figure, I would HAPPILY just take the solid one instead.  Of course I would pay my share, plus all of your shipping fees!  PLUS, its cheaper for everyone if we buy more with the promo codes!!!

Anyone, pretty please??

Oh, this is really tempting to pre-order. Getting a Fluttershy for my boyfriend would be a nice little mini-gag Valentine's gift, considering I jokingly refer to him as a "male Fluttershy" due to how alike they are. XD

I apologize for asking this, but the "sparkly variant" the clear one? I wanna assume it's that clear variant that is on the HT site, but I am a bit bummed because that "clear Cola" Time Turner is the 1/24 variant (and I like it more than the regular Time Turner one).

I ordered all 4 Funko Ponies with the discount code since I don't have any of them yet. If I get the glittery version of Fluttershy or Dr. Hooves, I will gladly trade them for the regular versions if anybody wants them.

Count me in as another person who is disappointed that the glitter/translucent versions of the two will be random, 1/24 chance of receiving when you buy. I definitely prefer the look and uniqueness of them and would have loved to just outright buy them from Hot Topic.  Ah well, I suppose I should just be happy that there are some nicely sized glittery ponies now.  :P  The discount codes look awesome though, so I'll probably order them since I do like the regular versions as well.

Yes the "sparkly" one people are talking about is the transparent version. Both transparent versions are the chasers or the 1 in 24. i.e. every box will have 23 solid colour Fluttershys or Time Turners and 1 of the transparent versions. It splits further for TT/Dr Whooves as he either has a green or a red tie which means half the 23 has one colour and half the other colour.

Preordered them both! I do hope I get the sparkly Fluttershy for the purpose of my army-- then it will be easy to get the non-sparkly one. So yeah, if anyone ends up with the sparkly one and doesn't like it, I'll trade for a "plain" one... Still, so excited to have both of them in my herd!

I hope that they are planning on having the sparkly ones in the stores. I went several times and it appears that I was the only one who seemed interested in Dashie and Bubble butt, so I have good odds of getting a sparkle pony in person. If not, I think it's a gamble (for me) to spend that kind of money in hopes of getting one, blind bags aren't so bad because they're always $5.00 or under. If not, I think I can live without them, as I'm just mostly interested in Fluttershy! I might have to get one for my nephew this summer for his birthday

I'm just afraid the employees will buy them all up before they're put out if the variants are this limited. I usually don't  pre order things, but the hot topic employee scared me into it this time. He told me that the stores were getting a limited number of these after the online preorder. I hope that he was just lying to me trying to make more sales because I know that the previous ones were restocked several times and still in stock. I just wasn't about to take any chances and miss out on my little Fluttershy.

I am actually pretty happy about there being blind variants. It makes the unboxing more fun! I don't know what version I am going to get and it is fun and exciting.

I ordered the first day and I think it`s kinda funny we all used the coupon codes :) I wonder what the people who run hot topic think about it? Maybe the mark up is soo high they don`t care or maybe they can`t stop thinking about how much moola they lost.
 I am hoping I get TimeTurner/Dr.Whooves solid with a green tie and Clear Fluttershy because there are so many regular Flutershy`s available.

They're Hot Cash codes. It's supposed to work that you can only use them if you purchased something in the weeks before and earned the Hot Cash towards a future purchase....... but for whatever reason it lets anyone use any code on their orders. At least this time around.

Well I know hot topic is making a decent amount of money. I ordered 2 of each and if it wasn't for the codes would have ordered only 1 total. Because of the codes I ordered a set for home and another set for my office.

The codes also encouraged me to look around the site and I picked out a few things for my daughter. I would not have ordered or looked without the codes.

Fluttershy, special edition

It's actually just speculation at this point that there are red and green tie versions of the clear Dr. Whooves, I think. The Hot Topic website says nothing about it and both known pics of him have a red tie. So while it may be true we shouldn't take it as fact quite yet.

The mark up will be a lot. In 2008 it cost Hasbro approximately $0.08 to make one pony, so it won't have gone up much higher than that for smaller ponies with no hair and no accessories.

Re-read the pages. Those are the non-clear (and 1/24 chance at clear) versions. They show pictures for both kinds and you randomly get one or the other type.

oh right you are.  I thought that's what they were doing, but then it was described as variant and I didn't want to take too long to order in case they disappeared.  I really hope they're in displayable boxes (even if they are inside another box first) as I hate taking ponies out of their box, especially these guys with their poor paint work.

I also wonder if it will be easy to see what they are in person... I want both kinds, but I'm not going to just keep buying them over and over until I get the ones I want.

Title: Re: Two more Funko Vinyls.

It's not the first time Funko has done variants, so I really doubt they'll change the packaging to make it a mystery box.

(every time someone says mystery box I picture a black bag around the box with a question mark)

Post by: Tropical_Sunset on January 22, 2013, 03:53:47 PM
I ordered mine.  I wonder which ones I'll get.  I'd much prefer the regular ones to match RD and Bubbles over the clear ones, even though I usually adore clear/glittery ponies.  Maybe I'd like the clear/glittery G4s better if they were brushables.  I LOVED the prototypes of the clear/glittery brushable Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack.  These, not so much...

I'm a little disappointed that Dr. Whooves is the same size as the female ponies.  I was hoping his mold would be a little bit bigger than them, like he is in the show.

Still super excited for these!

Yes I agree the statement on HTs site of "Half of the assortment wears a red tie and the other half wears a green tie! Which will your pony be wearing? It's a surprise!" can be taken a couple of ways. But I think its most likely that 12 ponies will have green ties, 11 ponies will have red ties and 1 pony will have a red tie and be transparent.

@xeevee - it is confusing isnt it! It seems a little cheeky to put variant in the title of the listing when they are not actually selling the variant just a chance you may get it!

EDIT: Okay, was finally able to place an order. I ordered two Fluttershys (Thanks for posting the promo codes, guys!), and although I do want a Clear variant Time Turner, I didn't feel it was worth the risk to pre-order for a 1/24 variant.
Does anyone know when they'll be shipping out the pre-orders? I hope Fluttershy comes in before Valentine's Day so I can wrap and give one to my sweetie for the big day. :heart:

They aren't officially released until 2/22, so I don't think they'll ship before that, unfortunately
Aww bummer. xD I had a feeling that was the case.

Tiny heads up: I used the promo codes again to order a second Bubbles and Rainbow Dash... I want the second wave variants. u__u The $15 code AEM8HY4U didn't work anymore, but I changed the code to the other one (F4YUJ8TB) and it went through. Not sure if it's just me, but if it tells you that it can't find one promo code, try the other!

I'm so excited for my Fluttershy now... I'm going to have so many Funko ponies.  :drunk:

Here's how the new funko fluttershy compares in size and design to the design-a-pony (threw a g4 for further size clarification).  I like the funko pony's sculpt much better! :D

Just a heads up, the Funko Vinyls are going to be available at places other than Hot Topic, but not until June, and Fluttershy and Dr Whooves also come in the regular window packaging (ie. not blind box). Here they are for preorder at BarnesandNoble.com:

 that is great, I have a BN very close to where i live, closer than hot topic which is in a mall that is always crowded and hard to park .
I just got back from the mall while ago,I always get out of there with the feeling on never wanting to have to deal with such a place LOL
passed by the hot topic, they had a lot of mlp merch this time ,like I have never seen it before , they have lots of the 2 funko ponies :)

Yeah, they're not actually available to pre-order yet, so that's why there's no prices. I'm curious as to whether they'll be cheaper, as well, since Hot Topic seems to mark up things.

Anyone find them in person yet? Do they have clear windows like the first two sets or are they enclosed boxes?

Woot!  :lovey: I preordered two Dr. Whooves the other day, one's a gift for someone though. Really hoping I don't get any of the clear ones, I don't like those...
Wish they could ship a little sooner, though.  :drunk:

edit: Galactica, please excuse me for being stupid but which Fluttershy is the design-a-pony and which is the Funko? I've never seen either in person so I can't make an educated guess xD

Big applause to Funko for making these awesome figures. Hopefully they'd make more in the future: I'd really love to see a Zecora figure or Chrysalis figure. Heck, maybe they could even make a proper Discord figure: that'd be something totally awesome! :D

I believe that any stores which carry Funko are likely to have them but Hot Topic have a 6 month rider - which means they will carry the items first for a 6 month period and then 6 months after the first release other stores which wish to can pick them up.

Post by: Galactica on February 06, 2013, 04:40:33 PM
Entertainment Earth appears to have the ponies available for $13.99 (Dash & D available- Preorders of Dr. & Fluttershy) - cheaper than Hot Topic!  Maybe the 6 month exclusivity thing has expired?

http://www.entertainmentearth.com/hitlist.asp?company=Funko&theme=My%20Little%20Pony&collect=Vinyl%20Figures&SearchOrder=comthmcol (http://www.entertainmentearth.com/hitlist.asp?company=Funko&theme=My%20Little%20Pony&collect=Vinyl%20Figures&SearchOrder=comthmcol)

Guess that resolves the debate about the packaging.  No mention on EE about the chase figures- wonder if that is a Hot Topic thing ?
Title: Re: Two more Funko Vinyls.
Post by: hathorcat on February 06, 2013, 05:20:02 PM
Dash and Drama Pony are not available on EE until May of this year though and then Fluttershy and DrW in August - that makes sense for the 6 months-ish release.

I would imagine there will still be chasers in the sets as there isnt either a mention on DrW that he is coming with 2 different coloured bow ties - so perhaps they still have to update the information?

It's cheaper than Hot Topic until you get to shipping. I was going to pre-order two Fluttershys, but with shipping, it's going to be $18 per figure.

I (and pretty sure Galactica too) ordered right after they went up, so that's probably not the case. It makes sense, I suppose, that they want to fill as many people's orders as possible before using the (currently) limited number available to fill massive orders. *pout pout* I will forgive them IF they include sparkly ponies in my shipment :silly:

I just called them up (had a question since I ordered my lot with some other in-stock items, so they already showed up as "shipped".

They said that I'd for sure get an email when they shipped- and that they were expecting receipt of the ponies tomorrow, so they'd likely go out that day or Monday.  Good to hear!

I didn't remember how many I'd ordered- and when I saw how many, I realized that I could very likely NOT get a jolly-rancher pony.   I wish those coupon codes still worked!!!!!!!

Mine just hit the doorstep, I got a green tie Dr Whooves and a red tie Dr Whooves, both solid, and two regular fluttershys.  I may go by there later and see if I can spot a glitter one!

Mine are suddenly in Montana as of last night, so hopefully they'll come in today. I just wish I didn't have to be at work when they arrive.

Mine arrived today.  I got regular Fluttershy and regular red tie Dr. Whooves.  The quality of my Fluttershy is pretty disappointing... She has some sort of gap in her tail and dirty, grey, dried glue on one one of her legs. :/  Not sure how I'll go about trying to remove that.

Mine arrived just now.   I got plain green tie and plain FS.  Still happy.  I'll have to check out hot topics near me for the clear ones though, as I'm obsessed with translucent ponies.

Got mine today, regular Fluttershy and regular Green Tie Dr Whooves. I am happy, I wanted the plain ones, and I wanted green tie. only problem is my Dash and :muffin: Pony are of the first wave kind, matte, old eyes on Dash, and 5 stretched bubbles on :muffin: Pony, so they don't quite match. Hate that.

Gap in the tail, like it wasn't pushed in all the way and glued like that? Because my second wave Funko Ditzy is the same way.

(My new Funkos came in while I was at work; both normal.)

Yeah my fluttershy was kinda sloppy. her left wing wasn't pushed all the way in and she has a gap on the bottom of her tail as well as glue on her body.

Yes, like part of the end of her tail wasn't pushed in all the way and they glued it like that.  I didn't know that was a problem with Ditzy too!  Lame.

I went to the store on the listed street date of feb 22 looking for them and the employee there told me that he didn't know when they would arrive in stores and that's why he told me to preorder online because it could be up to a month before they show up on the shelves. I told him that I DID preorder but still wanted to check the store for them.

Ahh man, I was soo hoping for a sparkle Doctor since I love sparkly things but no dice for me. I had such a good feeling that I would get one since I ordered a few. I guess I should give up hope. Life is much better and you don't spend as much money when you do.
If anyone wants to trade, let me know!

Well my two arrived in Michigan this evening, and although the Fluttershy has a few quality issues I think both are fantastic! (Both regular, btw, just what I wanted!)  They are quite a bit shinier than the first two, but if that ever really drives me up a wall there's a can of satin clear in the workshop!

I love the Doctor's mane... :nerdy:

I just saw on EQD that someone posted a pic on them at a Hot Topic in Utah. So I'm guessing that by next week at the latest, most stores should have them in. :D
Hopefully the one near me has them in soon. I want to try and get a normal Fluttershy and hopefully a "Dr. Cola Whooves".

Yes, like part of the end of her tail wasn't pushed in all the way and they glued it like that.  I didn't know that was a problem with Ditzy too!  Lame.
My Fluttershy has the same thing with her tail as well. I had thought it was "meant" to be that way. ;_;

I got my order in last night so I'll prep orders tonight or this weekend.

I pictured them having a bit less shine.  I'll see about posting a picture when I get a moment.

called my local Hot Topic, they said they are waiting to get them in. They were just told "some time in February" lol today is the last day of February. But I am stalking their local Hot Topic Facebook page as they said they would post it there when they get them. I do not think my area is big on ponies, as I see them sitting around forever, so we will see, maybe I can get a clear one....keeping my fingers crossed.

I got my preorder just want to try for the variants and pick a Dr. Whooves up for my mom who loves Dr. Who....

Mine is shutting down too. u__u I hope not before I can hunt down some chase figures. If I can't, I guess I just have to give in and check ebay?

I went to 2 hot topics today and was able to get Fluttershy and green tie Dr. Whooves!
 :newpony:
The one I shop at most that I got Fluttershy at had told me they'd call me when they came in but didn't. I'm a little disappointed in them.  :huh: I had just stopped in there because I was in the shopping center today and was surprised they had her! Of course I had to go hunt down the Dr. at the other HT in town after.
I'm very happy to have them both.  :biggrin:
I still really want the chase figures though too.

My Funko ponies came today. No sparkle versions sadly. But I did get one red tie and on green tie Dr. Whooves. If anyone gets a sparkle version that they don't want I'll happily trade mine for it.

Post by: ShortyBoo on March 01, 2013, 06:57:34 AM
I really want Sparkle Fluttershy, but with how expensive the figures are, I don't feel like gambling on their site (I don't have very good luck, so I'm sure I wouldn't get her) and there isn't a HT anywhere near my house so finding one in person is out of the question.

Went to Hot Topic on the way home from work yesterday--they have NINE Rainbow Dash Funkos. o.0 No Bubble-butt, just RD. I'm guessing they won't even order the wave 2 ponies until all the RD's are gone... and then I'd have to wait for the shipment to arrive... so it'll be a while!

Got mine. Both are normal, and Doctor Whooves has a green tie (I wanted a red)  >_<

I'll have to try to get a sparkly clear version of him. I love it.
These guys are A LOT better quality than Drama Pony and Rainbow Dash. I think the shiny finish helps.

Ugh, that listing is CLEARLY trying to pull the wool over people's eyes. They put 'varient' in the title and post the sparkly version as the first pic, then put 'no choice' in smaller print after you have to scroll down. It's all about greed with some sellers... People make me sick sometimes...

I think you are right that it is a replicated listing-  but the actual Hot Topic listing (at the Hot Topic webpage) makes it much more clear- as the description is right at the top
Awesome My Little Pony vinyl collectible featuring the likeness of the loveable Fluttershy.
1 in 24 will receive the sparkly clear chase figure variant!
Approximately 5" tall
Sorry, no choice.


In the amazon listing- it says first:

Price:   $16.50
In Stock.
Ships from and sold by Hot Topic.
Approximately 5" tall
Vinyl
Imported
By Funko


The actual "product description" is identical to the Hot Topic listing- but doesn't appear until pretty far down in the listing, sandwiched between other irrelevant announcements/info.

So it is probably not Hot Topic intentionally trying to mislead folks (maybe) - but the set up of that listing is bound to trick more than a few I bet.

Post by: hathorcat on March 05, 2013, 04:45:27 PM
Toywiz shouldn't be able to sell them but they always have exclusives whether they are from Hot Topic or Target. As you know retailers like Hot Topic pay a premium or an inflated unit price in order to get exclusively on items so there is no way Hasbro are selling the same item to ToyWiz. There prices are always a touch over inflated [this perhaps being an exception], so I think they must simply buy retail in bulk like the rest of us and then sell on.

Don't give up checking your local stores ! I was going in to HT to check out the new fluttershy merchandise and low and behold I found him on the shelf.

OOoooh lucky-  I want that guy so bad!


So unfortunately I just pre-ordered my ponies only to trot on over to EQD only to discover they have a discount code posted!  So for any of you planning to pre-order the new ponies, don't forget to put in the discount code: EQDpop  - for an extra 10% off.

Not gonna lie - i am tempted to preorder the Twilight figurine. But i have never ordered anything from toywiz before. Do pre-orders generally get to you in time when you order from them? I ask because I am moving out of my apartment  in late May and I am a bit scared to pre-order in case the figurine doesn't get it to me in time.
Title: Re: Two more Funko Vinyls.
Post by: Galactica on March 06, 2013, 12:01:44 PM
I think pre-orders can definitely be late!  Usually Toywiz is pretty good- pre-orders get delayed all the time (no fault of Toywiz but the delivery of the product itself)

If you are moving in May- you might want to hold off or have the item shipped somewhere that you know won't change (ie a friend's house or a parent's house)
Title: Re: Two more Funko Vinyls.
Post by: MilkyTaroMochi on March 06, 2013, 12:39:06 PM
Yeah, i should mail her to my parents' house just in case. I was actually considering doing that in the first place,but was wondering if it would actually ship way before I move out. But my mom could always mail it to me should that happen. :)

One last question: how are Toy Wiz' shipping costs? Are they "normal" or more on the pricey end?
Title: Re: Two more Funko Vinyls.
Post by: HawaiianRain on March 06, 2013, 01:18:22 PM
It costs me 8.08 to have 4 of them shipped to me here in MI and 9.00 for the new plush set so I would say pretty fair.

See if you can cancel the first order and place another one using the promo code. That is what I did with Hot Topic for the Funko vinyls.

I noticed someone saying on Facebook that it would cost $60 to get the full set shipped over to Australia! My local Tassie brony group really wants to get a hold on some. Would we be best off a) finding a friend in America to ship them to us, b) making a bulk order to split the shipping costs, or c) asking stores if they can get them in stock? I know EB Games stocks the Pop! figures, so I just sent over a casual facebook enquiry, but I'm not sure. I really really want them though!

I suspect these will be available everywhere- since both Toywiz and BigBadToystore have them as available starting in April- these figures don't appear to be subject to the 6 month hot topic exclusivity thing.  So probably in late April or May- you will start seeing them wherever you normally find Funko products sold.

The Funko people actually encourage people to contact their retailers (ie comic book shops, bookstores) and ask them to carry the products-  because they just might put an order in if they get a couple requests...
Title: Re: Two more Funko Vinyls.
Post by: SailorEarth on March 06, 2013, 05:13:59 PM
Toywiz shouldn't be able to sell them but they always have exclusives whether they are from Hot Topic or Target. As you know retailers like Hot Topic pay a premium or an inflated unit price in order to get exclusively on items so there is no way Hasbro are selling the same item to ToyWiz. There prices are always a touch over inflated [this perhaps being an exception], so I think they must simply buy retail in bulk like the rest of us and then sell on.

This is what I gathered as well. My sparkly Fluttershy was marked as sparkly and was not a pre-order so I'm sure they just bought cases from Hot Topic to resell.

They are getting rather numerous-  hopefully I'll get the next two soon-  apparently they are "on the way" from China (for some reason that usually means a couple of months).

I am so happy that Funko is totally willing to sell off their own prototypes-  I wish Hasbro and Mattel would!

So I ran across this last month- but forgot to bring it up.  Did anyone else see this in various news sites?  Hot Topic said on their facebook page in March that they were expecting

Pinkie & Lyra (which we already knew) and/or Pon-3 and Octavia as the next Funko ponies.

http://s1264.photobucket.com/user/BronyGalore/media/Collection/Other/HotTopic.jpg.html

I wonder what they mean by the "larger" comment.  I can only guess they are referring to the Alicorns, Chrysalis and/or Discord... !

Anyone have any newer info ?  Still no sign of the prototypes from any of these.

I'm pretty sure I remember them posting on fb as well that they are hoping to be able to have alicorn Twilight.

They are way delayed-  I think Toywiz or BBTS were taking preorders of the bobble-heads with an estimated delivery date in April.  That didn't happen- and there aren't even pics of the actual products yet.  Maybe they ran into some problems.

Boo hiss.  Oh well, I can always customize a styling-size Pinkie to turn into a molded-hair, styling-size AJ (ain't no way I'm doing anything to a  real styling AJ until they're a LOT less rare haha). 
Anyway, I can't wait to see what they do with Octavia.  I really like her, and I'm dying to see what she'll look like as a vinyl!
