Also added pre-orders for something called 'Winter Gear', but no pictures. Just Pinkie, RDash, and Twilight for that.

(Hope this hasn't been posted! I checked the first two pages but didn't see anything)

My goodness can they fail on Luna's colors anymore, she literally looked like that in one episode, thats all. Funko better atleast give us the one accurate Luna figure for once.

Also Luna looks awkward to me, and Spike doesn't look too bad he looks good, but still not interested.

"Winter Gear" probably refers to the prototypes we saw at the Toy Fair, basically the same ponies but dressed in wooly hats/scarves.

Yeah, judging by the description that is probably what they are.

Luna looks gorgeous, I went and preordered one right away! Thank goodness we're getting decent plushes this generation.. if they had stuck with those hideous things with random pieces of fabric for hair and ugly faces I'd have never bought anything.

Ah the Luna! She is magnificent! Even if her color is off and her wings are just a little wonky.

Why does Luna look like her wings are growing out of her tail?

I like S1 Luna and those colors best. I wish Fu nko would give us a Luna in those colors and manestyle. S2 Luna is nice too, sure, but to her, she always seemed too dark in color with too little contrast between her shades and looks a bit muddy.  Opinions.

But I'm pronably the only one. :/

I don't understand all the hate this version of Luna gets - I personally think it's her cutest character design and I'm glad they chose this one.  These two will be coming home with me when I find them!

OMG OMG OMG THAT LUNA! She needs to be in my life RIGHT NOW! I like both her designs, so I am quite happy with this version.

I think Luna is really cute, but...
 :snicker:
Butt wings.

Butt wings.

Yeah, what is up with that on some of the plushes...very awkward   :|
Spike is super adorable, though and looks like he wants a hug!

The only problem is they are not going to do two different hair molds it would be like two different ponies (never say never but very unlikely I think) I don't mind the Reborn Luna shes kinda cute, but I much prefer the Magic Luna's hair and colors and bodytype. And since hasbro, and every other type of Luna figure that have been released so far match either the Reborn Luna or incorrect colors, and non even close to Magic Luna, which is one of the main reasons I want the Magic Luna for the Funko much preferred over the Reborn Luna. Plus because of show accuracy, Reborn Luna was a version after she lost her Magic after being defeated, as you can see in the show in the S4 premiere even in the past she looks as she does now. Meaning that version was very short lived she may have also looked like that younger, but I still want a current Luna.

I don't "hate" the "young" Luna, I just prefer the "matured" version. :) That said, the "young" version would make cuddlier-looking plushie. (Although I just went and bought a "mature" Luna plushie.)

What I'm not fond of is the butt-wings!! XD

OMG!!! That Spike is just TOO CUTE!!!!!  :hug:

I think Luna looks lovely. Honestly, I'm just glad to see an official Luna at all. After talking to the plushie reps at the Fair last year I wasn't sure that it was ever going to happen. I wish we could see her cutie mark in the pictures. Her cutie mark has been the biggest problem for the plushie companies. It's so much more complex than the other ponies. They were having trouble making it show accurate AND cost effective.

No, you're not the only one- I love the sparkly moving mane of S2 Luna but I love the coloration on S1 Luna best.

Thanks for posting the preorder link!!! I am debating whether or not I want to grab one through there or not. I do like to pick out my plush in person, since they're all a little different depending on how they were sewn. And the last two times I bought a plush based on the preorder photo, I was sorely disappointed. I just hope she doesn't become immediately impossible to find after being released. x_x

I love Season 1 Luna the best as well :) I much much prefer her colours. I think this one is adorable! And I am going to be unable to resist her when she hits shelves.

Me either. But yikes, that price!

Post by: Skeen on March 03, 2014, 01:53:57 PM
I went ahead and preordered Luna.  If I don't like the butt wings, I can remove them and re-attach them in a better position myself!  :)

I have been wanting a plush Luna for ages but I agree, this one looks a bit awkward.  Maybe she will look better when she's released fully and not a prototype.  Spike is adorable though!

I actually like the Luna one.  Mostly, because it's more show accurate now than light purple or pink.  Luna is now beyond that color and I don't understand why it has taken Hasbro so long to make a more show accurate Luna.  I guess it's the same story as a more show accurate Celestia when we were waiting on that.

I can't wait for this Luna to hit the shelves!  She is SUPER cute-  I do think her wings look a bit cheap- but her face is so cute and her overall design is great-

Spike is cute too but I already have that BAB one and see no need for a 2nd...

Yay!! Season 1 Luna is waaay preferred to her other look, for me! I can't believe we got a season 1 Luna plush! ^_^ I will be picking her up!

I for one adore this Luna, as I've always preferred S1 Luna's design. The more contrast the better, says I. I may actually buy a pony plushie now.
