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.

I hate it when a toy says it's "collectible" or "collector's edition" on the box.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 keep seeing it on We Love Fine and that they said they planned on changing merchandise to Doctor Hooves.http://mlpg4merch.tumblr.com/post/27021321112/its-official-his-name-is-dr-hoovesUnless that's changed by now?
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.

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.
