Wow, just wow! Not a big fan of these characters (AJ and Big Mac), but these figures look great.

Okay, Applejack's eye is clearly photoshopped on ... and is Big Mac's too? Ditto for the cutie marks, I don't think these are the finished products. They just look too clean! :P

Blargleflargle!!  I want to order now, but last time I tried to return something I pre-ordered they gave me trouble (the order date was a little beyond 30 days even though I had gotten the pony on the date I was trying to return it).

If anyone outside of the US wants one, please let me know:

I will get one for you at cost (i.e. the $18.50 + actual shipping costs to your country).

I'd like to get a few people involved.  I plan on ordering sometime within the next week.

PM me please (it's easier for me to keep track!)

These were posted on Funko forums today:
15 off 30 is WEDF23NB
30 off 60 is SAZCTG62
45 off 90 is DUTH57UB

No idea if they work though.

edit:
I made some calculations and with a Hotcash code, price for one of each shipped (ordered together) would be approx. 60 euros after import taxes.  Kind of steep, but on the other hand, I don't like waiting 4-9 months to get these somewhere cheaper.

I can't decide whether to order one or not! I sort of got disinterested in Funkos because all the poses are the same :( but I do love AJ...

Am looking forward to Rarity though

WOW  60  euros is way too much  , they will be around 11 dllrs  shipped to us .
for 2 of them shipped international  should be around 2 or 3 lbs , so that is 24 to 30 dllrs on shipping, you are looking at 50 for the pair shipped more or less , that is around 40 Euros , you could save 20 Euros , If I or anyone else ships them for you !

It's actually 45 to 50 euros before 24% import tax, which we have to pay for imports over 22 euros. So based on your calculation, I might be able to save about 10 euros, when import tax is taken into account.

and what if it is marked as gift ? do they still charge you?

more likely because  Big Mac is bigger, I think we are retro paying the difference from Trixie on the AJ figurine this time around :)

I may be ordering extras this time too, since it seems like I spend just as much trying to get the sparkles on ebay.


Seems like I can ship "to my local store" for free.  Do you think they would go through my order if I use that option???

Awesome! I ordered five of each-  sure hope i get at least one sparkly!  Thank goodness for the codes, these ones were pricey!  I guess because of the size/hat?  Ah well.  They are wicked cute.   Wonder how much Celestia will cost? $49...  lol

So cool that Funko now has TWO different boy molds-  I wish that Hasbro would copy them a bit...

I sure hope they don't go up more.  I don't understand why AJ has to be more expensive too when trixie wasn't and she had a hat and cape (and no tail!).  I also ordered 5 each.  I still have extras of nearly all the others because I tried to get the sparkles (and failed).

  I think you have to order at the Kiosk from the Store to be able to use that option, and mostly it costs 1 dllr for them to be shipped there :)

Exactly-  but maybe the shape of her hat was harder to mold or required a separate part? It is a bit more complicated than Trixie's.  Who knows.
Hopefully someone will want my extras- I haven't been very good at advertising my OTHER extras- still have a number of extra Lyras and Pinkies and Bon Bons....  maybe I should try to sell them in a lot.

I don't have the code for 90/180-  i just made two different orders. :P

What the heck Funko, photoshop promo pics? I hope they update those. At first I was like, no sparklies!? then I realized there is just not a pic of them and it still says 1 in 24 in the description. And what's with the price hike again? These things started out at $14.50 less than 2 years ago. Thank goodness for hot cash I guess.

Aw... I have a soft spot for Big Mac and I've never been a fan of the blind bag and who knows if Hasbro will ever make a brushable. :( Not a big Funko fan but... I went ahead and pre-ordered two with the codes. Fingers crossed for a chase.

I found it interesting on Big Mac's box it says BIG McINSTOSH I thought it was a typo on hottopic.com, but now I see maybe thats just how they spelled it on the box?

Anyways I think these two are some of the best ones they have ever made, they look very accurate to the show down to the last freckle to the accurate colored hat and shape of the hat! Even Big Mac has his little neck brace thingy and the little silver posts are colored right and everything, not to mention he is larger which is the best part! I love you FUNKO!

I am positive they will all come with serious quality errors.  I love the Funko ponies, but the factory that they are using is pretty sloppy when it comes to the screening details.  It is rare to get a pony without the eyes being slightly off kilter, or glue streaks, or sloppy paint... 

For some reason the mini-funkos don't seem to have near the same problems, not sure why.  I hope they do minis of ALL the new characters!!!

I disagree I don't think that many of them have serious errors at all, a couple of the waves were worse than others, but I still didn't have too much of a problem finding ones that looked really good! Out of the tons of ponies I ordered last wave I would say only 1 Twi and 1 Trixie had bad issues, the rest were fair to really good shape.

As for the minis yea that would be cool, even though I'm not a huge fan of them, I like the bigger ponies better since they are the perfect size. Anyways it won't be until another 10 ponies are out (so we need another 6 ponies), then series 2 minis will be out.

I have given up on the G4 brushable line due to lack of new characters. However I went into TRU the other day and saw a whole bunch of these. I never bought one before, but I ended up buying 7 of them and really liking them. At least the G4 line gets new characters this way. I am sad the brushables seem to be going the way of core 7.

Yup I'm with you given up on brushables, all about the funkos for me I love how we know new characters are always on the way with these and I love them so much! Love that we are getting cutie marks on both sides from now on that was like one of the best perks ever! Not to mention the accuracy and character selection!

I prefer brushables, they are my favorite form of pony.  But I do like these a lot too.  Just got Sweetie Drops after TRU send me more Dashes when I ordered her.

I just hope these don't come with all the quality errors the funko ponies often have if they're charging so much more for them...

I am positive they will all come with serious quality errors.  I love the Funko ponies, but the factory that they are using is pretty sloppy when it comes to the screening details.  It is rare to get a pony without the eyes being slightly off kilter, or glue streaks, or sloppy paint... 

For some reason the mini-funkos don't seem to have near the same problems, not sure why.  I hope they do minis of ALL the new characters!!!

I disagree I don't think that many of them have serious errors at all, a couple of the waves were worse than others, but I still didn't have too much of a problem finding ones that looked really good! Out of the tons of ponies I ordered last wave I would say only 1 Twi and 1 Trixie had bad issues, the rest were fair to really good shape.

As for the minis yea that would be cool, even though I'm not a huge fan of them, I like the bigger ponies better since they are the perfect size. Anyways it won't be until another 10 ponies are out (so we need another 6 ponies), then series 2 minis will be out.

Well if they fixed the last wave that's news to me and great-  because I have had a LOT of quality problems with nearly all the Funkos I have bought.  I bought like 10-15 each of Lyra, Spitfire, Sweetie Drops and Pinkie (to get sparkles)- and only like two out of each lot looked good- the rest had some serious problems (mostly off-kilter eyes).  Also nearly all of my sparkly ponies have really large glue drips and marks - the worst being Octavia and DJ.   Of course we all know that most of the Dashes were a complete disaster, the regular, second edition and sparkly versions- all had super sloppy painted tails and manes. 

I'm not saying it's impossible to find nice looking Funkos- but their track record so far has not been great.   If that has changed with the very last wave, well I can just say that I hope you are right but I won't hold my breath.

What's funny is my glitter DJ is so perfect better than my regular one haha, and I had lots to pick from.. Sweetie Drops and Spitfire had the most issues I would say. I would say yea many do have minor flaws, but most are fine I guess, I do think they need to work on improving them so they are better quality all around rather than having to pick out the best one! The eyelashes on Twilight don't have the best placement on many, and finding perfect stars on Trixie may have been a little tricky, but I would say they were improved from the last few waves. I think the next wave looks promising, not too much that can have errors anyways you know.

What do you think looks off about him? Maybe it's the lighting outside, because AJ looks like clear orange without glitter, nice to see the glitter hair back again this wave.

To me, not all ponies translate well into the glitter/clear version. Fluttershy is one, and Sweetie Drops is another... big Mac, I'm not sure about, will need to see one in person. Could be the lighting, but his glitter version looks more orange-red than his regular version (which is awesome!). The glitter Big Mac looks like a nice, refreshing popsicle, or Italian water ice. :D

I think honestly so far the are the hardest to come by I think that one maybe the only one found in existence so far, that store doesn't carry Spitfire even yet just Sweetie Drops, and thats the only other place besides TRU she has been spotted so far... as for large orders on these I'm not sure if I'm going to do that yet or not since reselling the extras of ponies that have been out for awhile would be hard!

I ordered 2 Big Macs and 2 AJ's and a t-shirt during the Hot Cash sale.  Used Paypal.  Came around to $60 bucks.  My shirt shipped and I got it, but it appeared Hot Topic refunded me back the remaining money from the Funko Figures.  Do they take back the money when they get started to ship out?

My order status still shows them listed, but it was marked as shipped (due to the t-shirt).

I'm not sure what to do...

Yes they do take the $ out when they ship. I freaked out about this during the Twilight/Trixie pre-order thinking they cancelled my order but they just keep it for authorization at first, then put it back, then take back out again when they ship.

Unfortunately, the Pop figures have plenty paint issues too :(
There's a couple times when either couldn't find a Pop/didn't like the one I saw in a store, but I'm afraid to order any online in case they have the same issues. I know there's good ones out there, but it's hit-or-miss.

I have a problem with the pop figures as well. The wings on my pegasi tend to pop out of place, especially when I try to twist their heads. The Amazon ones I got are the worst quality of all my Pops.

On a happy note, I won a glitter Twilight for $36 on ebay! :D squeee totally in my budget! Im soooo excited to meet her in person! ^ͺ^ Now to obtain glitter DJ! (I have given up on glitter Pinkie for the moment).

I am probably just remembering something wrong or something, but wow $37 for all that? That is an awesome deal! I thought the Monopoly itself was like, $40. What that all the HotCash codes?

Also anyone who ordered please let me know when you expect to get yours in the mail! I dont think I preordered due to financial issues at the time, but when you guys get them- HT gets theirs too! I need to know what exact day to call them up for the glitters!

Ya same Galatica, thats why I'm wondering if they shipped his other items first. Anyways side note has another found Sweetie Drops or Spitfire anywhere except toysrus?

See I found them up for "preorder" on a few sites saying they are fresh off the truck! Does that mean they are 1/24 for the glitters? Ugh I wish I knew!

Okay guys so I went a little nuts and ordered a ton of them... I'll let you know if I get one.. wish me luck!

If anyone needs Bon Bon still please message me will have a bunch for sale.

I just remembered, that I had ordered Bon Bon and Spitfire from Amazon. It seems they didn't get their shipment on April 30th like it said, when I did the pre-order, since that date was two weeks ago and I haven't heard anything from Amazon since the pre-order. It now says "Temporarily Out of Stock" on Amazon for both of them.

This may just be the pictures we've seen so far, but it looks like glitter Big Mac is a bit more opaque than the others, which is interesting. Also interesting that they fit him in the same size box as the girls!

As an east coaster my HT stores won't see these for another week or two.

I'm not super fond of how the sparkly applejack and big Mac turned out. I'm so glad I don't normally collect these. :I I'm only getting the glitters that I really like and I've been lucky to find those locally so far. Yay.

Well, except Octavia, but I'm still hoping I can find her at toys r us eventually. :)

I got Sparkly Twilight and Vinyl, because those two make sense to me. The others, I'm doing good just to snag the others.

I have the same hope of finding glitter Octavia at Toys R US. Good luck!! Hopefully it works out for both of us because she is wayyyy too expensive on ebay.

I don't have any glitters as of yet but I am really hoping to get a big mac or aj when they come in fresh at Hot Topic.

Yea thanks! Lol I hope you can get them. I got lucky last wave and got to hot topic right when they got the boxes in. :)

The only other one I wanted was Lyra, and while I didn't find her in the store I found pinkie pie and then traded for her.

I still have Trixie too. Not sure if I'm going to keep her or try to trade her later for a glitter I like better... I suppose time will tell.

There was one sparkly but some kid took her and was super stoked about it so that made me happy!

That was my thinking too. The website says street date is May 29th so why are stores getting them early but people who per-registered don't get them. *pouts*

I didn't know glittery versions appeared in stores, my store people said that stores didn't get them it was an online thing only. LIES!

Yes, that is a lie. They can show up in stores, though depending on just general luck, it's rare to find them in store. Possible that locale has never seen it in their store.

Idk it's funny because when I've called HT online that's what they said, but individual stores never lied to me- they said yeah we sometimes get them.

Some employees have tried to say that too, and people at barnes n noble, they don't understand assortments sometimes I swear, usually hot topic knows what you're talking about though! One of my hot topics I don't like anymore and it used to be my favorite, because the last wave the guy only put a couple out and said the others were all the same in the back room, but he still wouldn't show me, I was suspicious yes maybe they didn't get glitters, or maybe we wanted them for himself I didn't like that he wouldn't show me when I asked.

Ps. Anyways I had a dream last night I found a glitter Fluttershy outta the box lol, funny maybe because I was fixing my shelf up yesterday.

No news on glitter Sweetie Drops, IIRC. I'm anxiously awaiting her, too. Will probably pay a pretty penny online for her for reasons most have already posted, aside the fact that my area just doesn't get many if at all of anything in our Hot Topic.

I suspect my Hot Topic would be shady, too, since my local Gamestops have the same practice of hoarding preorder bonuses or saying they didn't get stuff in when they just take it for themselves. I understand if you work there, but either preorder it yourself or, in HT's case, buy the glitter on YOUR time, not the store's time.

Though when I found the pinkie pie on the shelf she was literally sitting in the very front. I grabbed her so fast. haha

Post by: Midnight_Dream on May 19, 2014, 12:06:33 PM
I am always envious of people who find a bunch of glitters in the "wild" so to speak. I only ever saw one, a glitter Fluttershy. The only reason I did not buy her on the spot was because the Hot Topic employee lied to me about her price, I had only ever bought them at conventions and this one did not have a price sticker on her. So I foolishly asked how much she was rather than just trying to buy her, it wasn't until later that I realized I would have been able to buy her and I have been kicking myself for not buying her ever since. It was my only bad experience in the store and I try to assume that the employee did not mean to lie, i.e maybe they were like me and just bad at math, and it was just a misunderstanding, so I am more disappointed in myself.

Bah! Sorry for the sob story there...:P

Anyways, I can't wait to see Big Mac in person and fingers crossed it is the Jell-o...er...I mean glitter version. ^.^

  They Will hold them :) at least they have done it in the past.
but some workers are after them too :(
last time a couple of stores ,refused to even check if they had glitters, they told me I need to visit their store   -_-  I  hope my pre orders get here soon :)
so not up for chasing them at the stores anymore to be honest .

I didn't. I went into the store to get another Twilight to repaint, and figured I'd check for her since I was there. Didn't expect to find anything but since she was there I wasn't going to leave her. :b I didn't want Trixie either, but I still picked her up when I found her. I have no interest in reselling the glitters I didn't want for my own collection, but I am going to hold onto them in case one comes out in the future I want to trade for (like I did on my Pinkie Pie. I wanted Lyra instead so I traded her.)

So in a way, they are still going into my personal collection. :b You buy glitters even though you already have one, so I don't see how its much different.

I was hoping to score a glitter to trade for Sweetie Drops  :cry:

My hot topic is also almost sold out of big Mac already. They only had 4 left and the person working there said all the ones they have are out.

Yay!!! Nice find!! I went to my Hot Topic today. They still haven't gotten them in. Booooo North Carolina!!  :lol: But she did say that if I call up there when they get them in they can hold a couple for me. Hoping they really will.

You're in NC too? Which part? I've checked in CLT n RDU...no luck

Yep. I have checked in Fayettville. Thats the only Hot Topic I know of around here.......CLT?? Is that Charlotte?? RDU??? Sorry. I'm abbreviation illiterate.  :lol:

Grrumbles about preorder.....I want them!

I'm pretty angry about the preorder situation right now... so not even fair.


Of course I am being ridiculously impatient, and hoped a preorder would save me from driving all over.  So I am trying really hard to just not do that.  The order will come, but I was hoping it would be before street obviously.  Otherwise what is the point.  Clearly I'm too grumpy.

Yep. Well looks like we have covered all the big cities in our area.....I'm going to start calling up there and checking during this week and next. Will let you know when they come in! Unfortunately they could end up being late tho. Aquatic said they have been up to 2 weeks past street date before. :(

Looks like we got this handled! I'll let you know as well if I hear/see anything over in these parts. And yes, they've been late before so no reason they wouldn't be this time. Just very weird with them putting out so early in stores and nothing with the pre-orders. I don't remember that happening with that much time difference between the two.

EDIT: So glad they're literally filling the shelves of western and middle America HT stores...yet still fulfilling my pre-order...a$$hats

Yea I feel the same way... sucks other areas get them so much later especially this time around! I just wish atleast my preorders would ship so I wouldn't have to worry about it so much. I think if they can show up in stores two weeks early the preorders should be shipped as well, otherwise it clearly isn't a preorder really since you get it later than the stores?

I agree with everyone else about this pre-order stuff...... I thought the point of PRE-order is you get them before store release.... Otherwise it seems like they're punishing those who do pre-order. Hot Topic you may have lost my business after this transaction....

I noticed that on the Hot Topic website that when you click on AJ and Big Mac it doesn't say the street date anymore. It used to say Street Date 29th........that is kind of strange. Is it because they are already showing up in stores??? But I mean they are in control of when they are shipped so why put a street date if you are just going to ship them whenever??  :lol: Its a mystery........... :blink:

When you pre-order something from a store, you aren't actually guaranteed to get it before in-store release (or street date) you are just guaranteed how many of that item you pre-ordered.
However, I do think it is messed up how (IIRC) AJ and B-Mac are street-dated for the 29th, but people are finding them in stores now and the pre-ordered ponies haven't shipped out. I can understand a day or two before streetdate but one to two weeks beforehand? :( Situations like this make me hesitant to pre-order anything unless it's a video game.

Well someone emailed hottopic for me at my hottopic and she asked if they can sell them once they get them, they responded that they can sell them when they get them so I guess we no longer have a street date.

Side note just checked and still no ponies in my area  :cry:  :yikes:  :rant:

Still fulfilling order status on hottopic.... not shipped yet, hey atleast some of you guys have them in stores, imagine not having them in stores, OR your preorder shipped its the worst of both worlds..

Very true. I definitely would :biggrin: Well the girls at my Hot Topic don't seem too interested so maybe I have a chance. The ones I have talked to don't really know what I am talking about(one even said she doesn't know anything about MLP).....Oh well...guess I will have to wait...just wish I knew what day they were getting them!

Hey guys okay got the update, apparently they got tons of orders of these I think monday they got another 600 or so each, and those must have all shipped out, today they just got over 1,300 I believe of each so cross your fingers we get our orders shipped!

I emailed to ask the status of our order yesterday (because I always have problems logging in to my account, no matter how many times they try to  fix the problem), and they told me "it appears to be a pre-order which will not ship until the street date". So, how do they define street date??? I would call it "if it's on the shelves for people to purchase at the stores, it has passed the street date"! arg! Still waiting for response to my (more polite than ranted here lol) response query about that aspect.

Don't worry they ship in the order they received them, I know mine aren't shipped yet because I ordered later in the day sadly.. he told me mine should be shipped today or tomorrow. Depending when yours were ordered they should be too, besides the street date was removed.

That's really good that they got a lot of orders for AJ and Big Mac! I am guessing those Hot Cash codes are part of the reason why so many people ordered a bunch of them.

I noticed that as well only heard of 2 Big Mac finds I believe, and lots of glitter Ajs maybe 10? They are still 1/24 it's just that a lot maybe you snagged the Big Macs are keeping them and not on the forums or selling them on ebay.

Here's my question on this:
Is it really about the Apple Family Love or is it just people ordering way too many of these vinyls hoping to get a glitter with full plans to return all the extras?
I'm thinking the latter. I mean, I'm all for the Apple Family- give me a Granny Smith any day of the week!!, but I really don't think that's why they've gotten so many orders.

Yea...I think you could be right about that......I personally think it would be better if they sold the glitters separately for a little higher of a price. They could still make them more limited but then you wouldn't have to worry about either having to hunt them down or pay ridiculous ebay prices. I know they are meant to be "chase" items but its more stressful than anything. My Hot Topic has told me that they usually only get in 1 glitter pony so even if I call up there everyday I still have a small chance of getting it...and for people like me...I don't have 50-75 dollars to spend on a pony -_-

I hear ya. I have a smaller Hot Topic as well and there is usually only 1 glitter of each. The problem for me is that there is another collector/stalker in my area  and I've lost a few to them. I think we're both calling every day and it just depends on which of us calls first. And  as far as the whole chase thing is concerned, I honestly think it's such a problem becuase of the popularity and  resale value of the MLPs. Plenty of other Funko chases are easy to find.

That makes sense. I have a feeling the Hot Cash coupon offer/promos really "helped" with some of those orders , with them sorta being a "BOGO free" deal so people ordered a ton of them.
If that's the case, I wouldn't be surprised if in the future, they make the Funko Ponies not eligible with Hot Cash/BOGO offers.

I think it being AJ as the fans have wanted her - hat and freckles - for a long time, and Big Mac, both of which Hasbro have failed to deliver, is a large factor. I suppose we'll see if it's down to people ordering in bulk for glitters if this volume of orders continues with the next releases.

I think its a combination of people ordering a ton with hotcash hoping to get a glitter and people wanting an applejack funko in general because she seems to be excluded in merch often. OMG I would love a Granny Smith! xD I can see them making Braeburn before her though, or even Apple Bloom. I hope funko makes most of the characters in the show! Im hoping for Zecora most of all!!!

Just bought that Amazon Exclusive POP! Vinyl 3-pack. I did bought it once already, but that time it was for a giveaway I had on my Finnish pony blog, this time I bought it all for myself. I was able to resist temptation this long, but with 53% off from the original price, I caved in.

Edit:
Also just got email from Amazon to confirm that I accept even further delay with my order of Bon Bon and Spitfire. I accepted it as I don't think I would be able to get them any cheaper from anywhere else anyway.

Wait is glitter Bonnie on Amazon!? I think I missed something! *goes off to read previous pages*

Post Merge: May 22, 2014, 11:16:40 AM

So Aquatic where did you get yours??

I ordered online on a website that recently got them in stock, I asked if they got their product directly from funko they said yes, so I ordered a bunch of them and got one in the mix! Sadly the site is outta stock now I think I wiped them out..

*poke poke* are the glitters randomly assorted on this magic website like the HT preorders or are they selling gauranteed glitters like how amazon released the glitters of RD and muffin last year for a short time before SDCC?

If you're referring to my post, I was talking about the regular Bon Bon (and Spitfire), which I pre-ordered from them, but when the release date came, they went straight to "Temporarily Out of Stock".

Hey guys okay got the update, apparently they got tons of orders of these I think monday they got another 600 or so each, and those must have all shipped out, today they just got over 1,300 I believe of each so cross your fingers we get our orders shipped! He said they got an insane amount of orders on these.

This is great news! Im glad so many got ordered this wave!! Maybe Hasbro will find out this info and learn a lesson for not having AJ AND boy ponies more often in their toyline! This is more than enough proof fans dont think AJ's family is boring! Funko is beating Hasbro by a longshot!! Keep em' coming Funko!!! SPREAD THE APPLE FAMILY LOVE!!!
:banana:


Here's my question on this:
Is it really about the Apple Family Love or is it just people ordering way too many of these vinyls hoping to get a glitter with full plans to return all the extras?
I'm thinking the latter. I mean, I'm all for the Apple Family- give me a Granny Smith any day of the week!!, but I really don't think that's why they've gotten so many orders.

I think you are right. I think its the latter. Lots of people ordering in the hope of getting a glitter. We had a discussion recently in the SDCC thread where Galactica kindly contacted Funko to ask about the actual numbers of the glitters sold. It was only 1008 for :muffin: Pony and 1008 for Rainbow Dash; and they did not sell out fast. I think that shows that while glitters are popular the line is not so overwhelmingly popular that Hot Topic could not manage normal expectations. If they are swamped its probably because of over demand probably because of people ordering too many. Ebay will be awash with them soon enough no doubt :P

I'm still a bit unsure on mine.  I ordered 2 AJs/Big Macs and a T-Shirt.  Paid using PayPal.  Shirt shipped, and Paypal refunded me back the costs of the 4 Funko Figures.  Did they not take my money, or are they planning on taking it back out again?  My order has been marked shipped due to the shirt, but no details on the figures themselves :I

It bugs me, cause I need them by June 5th for my mom's birthday.  I dunno if I should keep waiting, or just nabbed them in stores as soon as I spot them.

Yea. I am in the same situation as you.......except I want the Big Mac glitter. My area doesn't even have them yet so I have been calling up there everyday to see when they get them in. Then I am hoping that the day they get them in....maybe if they have one they can hold it for me til i can get there or else I'm just going to haul butt up there and hope for the best. Honestly though...I would probably go up there and look anyway even if they said they didn't have one because you never know....one could be hiding in the back and they didn't bother to search through all the boxes. Good Luck!!

Yea you can try that most stores will help you out, side note I wouldn't call them ebay scalpers, the fact is only 4% of the ponies are glitter ponies so they are more rare which is where there price increase comes from, with supply and demand for them there isn't as many supplied so there is a higher demand so thats where the prices come from.

Side note where in the WORLD are the Big Mac glitters I have only seen like 1 online, and tons of AJs!

No they are still 1/24 its just weird that we see less of him, I wonder if it's because many stores didn't get him yet and got Aj first like some were saying. Happened last wave with my stores and Trixie she was later than Twi.

My area hasn't even gotten AJ and Big Mac. Well at least what I could find calling around. (except for the one store where the employee snapped at me for accidentally calling when they were closed and wouldn't tell me if they have them.)

Bummer that street dates got thrown out. If anyone gets an extra glitter AJ PM me. Not a whole lot of Hot Topics in my area.

About Big Mac, I think maybe there just aren't as many around yet. One store I went to earlier this week only got AJ in and another I called said they only received 3 Big Macs. The store I got my glitter AJ from had a stack of them though, just no glitters.

People who buy items simply to sell them on at a marked up price, are scalpers. No matter what way you look at it. Even though only 4% of the ponies are glittery, they are still sold at the same retail price as the regular ponies. Therefore someone buying, marking it up and selling it on to a collectors for more than the same collector would pay if they discovered that pony on shelf is doing something which is the bane of many collectors existence and it is scalping.

Now buying multiples in order to get a glitter and then selling on those spare is fair enough and something lots of people are going to do. Thats not scalping, because there is no interest in profiteering from fellow collectors.

I had my order shipped to store and I didn't get a glitter variant,but it was cool to be able to get one alot earlier than most seem to be! They still aren't actually in stock in the store, I just got one Big Mac.

Mine arrived with a dented up box though,which is odd seeing as it was shipped with packaging around it. Wonder why.

I also noticed that my local store has all the Funko Ponies very high up on a shelf so you can't pick them up yourself. Why is that?=/ I don't really like having to ask employees to get an item for me...

I have the exact same problem at mine...they are so high up you can't reach them at all. And of course that really sucks with the Funko Vinyls cause you need to check them all to find the best paint job...but obviously the employees don't want to get every single one down for you........
Ugh!! and when I asked at my Hot Topic for them to get some down the girl didn't even get a ladder she just took a big stick and started whacking them off the shelf :shocked: :shocked: I was like STOP!!!!!!!!!!

I never quite understood why stores would put the funkos (or other figures) way out of reach. I can understand clothes, but figures?
Even more so when you ask an employee to get one down for you, and they give you an attitude about it. O_o

oh man. I don't normally care about glitters but these were the 2 I DID want glitters of. :(

I got mine in yesterday and my AJ has a spot they didn't paint on her tail. A huge glob of glue streaked across her symbol, and her tail is loose (guess all the glue that was supposed to hold the tail on went into fading the symbol)

As for the big mac he's pretty good, a chunk of his bangs near his face looks like someone set him on the sidewalk and dragged him around to scuff it up and make it dirty.

I am still amazed at the quality of Big mac though (not this one specifically but like the new mold and what not) All the proportions look great and he's so handsome.

Did  you preorder or waiting to go to the store?? My Hot Topic still has no idea when they are getting them in....just talked to them last night  :( I got 20 bucks in my wallet though that I am not using for anything else except my Big Mac glitter :biggrin: ooooorrrrrr regular I geuss.......... :|

I did get regular Octavia today though!! And she has a perfect paint job. YAY!!!

Post Merge: May 25, 2014, 01:38:53 PM

I also have a question for anyone who knows about this...........I'm a little confused as to when and how glitters come out....because on the toysrus website it doesn't say anything about 1 in 24 will receive a glitter variant so does that mean that they don't have glitters of Octavia and DJ?? Which I know they exist because I have seen both but were the glitters only available when they were at Hot Topic or do other places get them too???

I have also heard about the Sweetie glitter just now coming out???......but I know she has been out for awhile but big mac and aj are just now coming out and already have glitters available?

LOL. I am confused. Someone please explain.

Congrats on your perfect Octavia, she was a very hard one to get perfect for me, mines still not perfect.. I need an upgrade. As for Big Mac and Aj in certain areas I'm almost getting worried we might not get them now, because I was talking to one of the managers and she said they ship where they sell well, ad Trixie and Twi did not do good in my area really, they still have them, while DJ and Ocatvia were gone like instantly.

I pre-ordered with shipping to store option.

So anyone correct me if I'm wrong here but here's my shot of explaining this for ya.

Glitters come out with their respective originals at time of release; with 1/24 odds. Pretty much most of the releases start at Hot Topic and Hot Topic only for about 6 months, then they get picked up by other stores like TRU. Toysrus site might not show the odds but the odds are the odds. They still get their shipment from Funko.

Sweetie glitter just was quietly released into the wild in about a month or so ago. She's being trickled down "with same 1/24 odds" but I find that hard to believe but it is what it is. She was available along with the original ones that wasn't apart of the HT exclusive club. She & Spitfire came out @ TRU first and even early at that, I think Aug of last year? Can't remember all too well.

As it stands right now, when the vinyls come out @ HT first (6-ish months) they have their respective glitters available at that time as well. Everyone now has a glitter counterpart...well I take that back, Spitfire is the only glitter we're awaiting and not sure what they're doing about that.

Hope that answers it some! If not I know Aqua or Houston can prob elaborate more on it.

Your info sounds right to me, Dashy! :D I think Sweetie and Spitfire are TRU exclusives, but  i could be wrong on that. I havent seen them in other stores.

And glitters can appear in other stores, not just at Hot Topic. I know I have seen glitter Lyra and Pinkie at TRU.

They used to be TRU exclusive for several months maybe 6+ not exactly sure on the time, but now other stores can pick them up, and they have the 1/24 chances for glitters not at TRU still though, only other stores, so far only one store in IL called Gamers World had Sweetie Drops/Bon Bon other than that we don't know of any stores picking them up. Most glitters of her that have been found are from websites that just started carrying Bon Bon and get there ponies directly from Funko, Spitfire has not been seen yet, because her re-release is a tad later for whatever reason.

In case anyone is looking for a Sweetie Drops/Bon Bon glitter one on ebay ends in 3 hours!

Sweetie Drops and Spitfire were previously TRU exclusives, but they're becoming available at other stores, which is how the glitters for them are now being distributed, if I'm not mistaken.

Yup, I only ever preorder one of each and this makes the third time I've gotten a glitter. I was pretty shocked to get him, I figured I'd used up my pony luck on the last wave. Here's a pic of him:

Good luck to everyone on their preorders, I hope to see lots more glitters here as they start to roll in  ^.^

I'm actually really sad to see this picture of glitter Big Mac... I didn't like him much from Hot Topic's original picture, but this one shows that he's actually exactly how I was hoping he would look. :( Now I'd really like him, but I'm not willing to pay an exorbitant price, so I just have to hope I get really, really lucky and get one in my order (I bought 2x Applejack and 2x Big Mac).

Also, glitter :muffin: Pony & Rainbow Dash were 2013 Amazon/SDCC exclusives so those won't be found in stores.

I've noticed this before.  I think they have an office in TN that submits the shipping orders to FedEx, but the warehouse that the packages are actually coming from is in Atlanta which makes it look like they are taking a little side trip.

Sooo....I have still been calling my Hot Topic to check for AJ and Big Mac....but I seem to be getting a different response now. Before no one knew about them but now they have told me 2 times that they will have them by the release date. But I also noticed that it seems like Hot Topic took the street date off the site and obviously people are getting them in other stores. I am wondering if they already have them but they are holding them until the street date and just don't want to tell people???

What do ya'll think??

I had my order shipped to store and I didn't get a glitter variant,but it was cool to be able to get one alot earlier than most seem to be! They still aren't actually in stock in the store, I just got one Big Mac.

Mine arrived with a dented up box though,which is odd seeing as it was shipped with packaging around it. Wonder why.

I also noticed that my local store has all the Funko Ponies very high up on a shelf so you can't pick them up yourself. Why is that?=/ I don't really like having to ask employees to get an item for me...

I have the exact same problem at mine...they are so high up you can't reach them at all. And of course that really sucks with the Funko Vinyls cause you need to check them all to find the best paint job...but obviously the employees don't want to get every single one down for you........
Ugh!! and when I asked at my Hot Topic for them to get some down the girl didn't even get a ladder she just took a big stick and started whacking them off the shelf :shocked: :shocked: I was like STOP!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I thought my store was the only one doing this! Like the Funko ponies are literally alllll the way on the tippy-top shelf up to the ceiling! O_o like hooow am I supposed to pick mine out!? I think its possibly they are hiding glitters up there xD

EDIT: I havnt picked any AJ or Big Mac up yet, waiting a few more days! No glitters in the area apparently. Soooo anyone else getting this strange response from HT employees when you ask for glitters and employees say, "sorry glitters are not availible in stores you can only get them from preorders from the website" although you have found/bought glitters at the store you are calling? I know this employee is lying to me, I know her voice anywhere UGH same chick thats worked there for 3 years and she run me up when I got my glitter Dr Whooves.

I hope I don't run into this problem at my HT.........we still haven't gotten in any AJ's or Big Mac's so I'm still waiting....

We need to write HT and complain about the top shelf!!!  :lol:

I feel you, Sprinkle. The lady I keep getting at HT tells me every time I call that I can order them and have them shipped to the store. After she told me this last time I went ahead and told her I was looking for a glitter specifically to which she replied "oooooooh, we can't tell you that because they're limited and we hardly ever get them anyway". I found my glitter Twilight there last wave and when I took her to the register the clerk commented on how much they go for on eBay so the employees there definitely know the deal. Now I'm afraid to call again lol.

Mine came in the mail today. No Glitters here sadly. My Applejack has a misprinted eye, though I'm not sure which one it actually is.... one her right eye, her green iris makes a crescent moon shape, but on her left, it goes all the way around her pupil. sigh. I love them, but I wish they would at least have properly printed eyes. I can't even buy them at a store and try to check for this kind of stuff because our Hot Topic shut down a while ago. :(

Ok thats weird.

We had this discussion in the SDCC Funko thread. Where Galactica asked Funko about the numbers of :muffin: Pony and Rainbow Dash glitters and they were confirmed at the 1008 each level.

It was then kind of speculated that the exclusive versions of these ponies which had been spotted in store - I think 2 people had spotted them were essentially returns - someone had bought too many online and then returned to store for refund. However even for a board this size 4 people coming across glitters in 4 different stores seems quite a lot.

Hopefully the store will get their normal stock in soon so I can replace him with a standard.  I wish I could be a fan of the glitters, but I just dont care for them. :/

There are none. Hot Cash can only be used, when Hot Cash redemption period is going on, which is something like two weeks about every few months. At the moment Hot Cash redemption period is not going on, so no usable codes either.

You can earn Hot Cash at the moment, but you can't use it. With Hot Cash it's either you can earn it or use it, but not both at the same time.

No kidding insanely slow I haven't had an update since tuesday night.... getting so fed up with fedex... my estimate date is Saturday the 31st... ugh :(

Picked up my order today: 3 regular AJ and 3 regular Big Mac.

The extra AJs and Big Macs are for sale/trade so just send a PM if interested.

I know I shouldn't be disappointed, but I was hoping for multiples with the large order.  Or at least I thought it was a large order.  Ugh.  Probably not going to do this again.

No worries, I had the super code so it wasn't too terrible.  I order 7 of each.  But I had pre sold a  few and a pair for my daughter, so I don't have too many leftovers.  But one of each glitter sure would have been excellent.

Ugh!! Bad news I am geussing....I am really getting impatient! I want a Big Mac so bad.........I wanted to wait and try and find a glitter in store but I have been waiting so long now I am tempted to go ahead and just order one online and take my chances........How did you find out about the district shipping date???

Post by: MoonStars on May 29, 2014, 06:12:02 PM
Ours arrived today. One sparkle AJ,  :biggrin: but no sparkle Big Macs.  :cry: I *might* consider trading the sparkle AJ for a sparkle Big Mac if there's someone out there who prefers a sparkle AJ to a sparkle Big Mac (or a sparkle RBDash or sparkle gray pegasus--those are for sure up for  trade--also looking for a sparkle Pinkie Pie or sparkle Lyra--but sparkle AJ, = will only trade for sparkle  Big Mac ). AJ is pretty, and I like her but I *kind* of like the regular one a little bit better, and am definitely in love with the sparkle Big Mac according to an image someone posted here. Again, still mulling it over,  not sure on the AJ yet, but feel free to contact me if any of that sounds good to you.

Congrats to everyone who is getting what they hoped for!

To those who commented about my pics, I'm so glad you all enjoy them. :) Their paint I don't think is bad at all. The worst thing is on one of Big Mac's eyes, the white part is a little offset but not so much that I'll exchange him I don't think. There are small things I could nit pick at but I think the quality is pretty good. There are no scuffs or anything like that. Their hair is not painted but the plastic is just that color which I think eliminates a lot of possibility for error.

Fedex tendered my order to my local post office today, so I'm hoping it'll get delivered either Friday or Saturday, even though the estimated date is Monday.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I really want a Big Mac glitter, but...it's so hard D: I would even be okay with glitter AJ to trade for a Big Mac. Any are better than none at all!

I camped outside HT yesterday morning for half an hour waiting for them to open. They still don't have any in stock. I asked just to be sure and they said they were still on preorder. I'm tempted to just order another set and hope for a glitter AJ. My husband's going to check HT for me again today since he'll be close by but I'm not hopeful.

For whatever reason several states have no sign of these two coming to stores I have no idea why! Hopefully they will get them soon, anyways OMG I'm freaking out they are on their way to me now yay for day early!!! Hoping for some glitters!!

Anyways talked to my local hot topic, and she said still not shipped to my district, she said which is so bizzare because she said these two items are the top sold items on all of Hot Topic!

Maybe they aren't getting them because they weren't expecting such demand?? Because I just looked on the Hot Topic website and both Big Mac and AJ say almost gone already!!! OH Nooooo......I think I might go ahead and order one before they are....does this usually happen when new MLP vinyls come out?

And the Big Mac glitter on ebay is already up to 80 dollars. That is just ridiculous. There is no way I am spending that amount of money on something that costs 5 times less than that.

Finally! I'm so excited for Rarity. She looks great!

I wound up cancelling my order for Big Mac and I'm glad I did. I fell out of love with him about a week later. :P I can't wait for Rarity though, and this is one glitter I am going to track down for sure.

I was not expecting Daring Do to be the one to be paired with Rarity! Though I did  have a feeling that Daring might be one of the characters Funko might do eventually. I was really interested to see how'd they do Rarity's hair style. It's cool to finally see her. Can't wait to see them finished! Thanks for the info, AppleDash1.

...And his box came damaged. It got crushed, so the top of the box is also warped from being pressed against Big Mac's head. The box for the other Big Mac I ordered didn't really fair any better either, or else I'd just swap them.

I'm super stoked I got the glitter I wanted, but the crushed boxes are really, really disappointing.

*Stares at new ponies for 10 more minutes... VERY EXCITED for Rarity! Daring looks okay.. for sure not my favorite would have preferred Zecora, or Cheerilee if it had to be a mare... Daring should only have the hair on one side of the mane, she will probably look a lot better once shes painted, but anyways time for the Princesses Funko like yesterday!

So cute! Rarity's horn seems a little large? But I do love her hair and Daring Do's outfit! CUTE!

Horn is looking the same size as DJ and Lyras I think why it may seem large to some is because the hasbro molds always do shorter horns than they are in the show just look at any of the figures especially ones like Princess Celestia her horn has never been the right size.. cannot wait to see how Funko pulls that one off!

Hmm...I wonder if Daring will have her wing bandaged, and I hope she doesn't have the same issue as Twilight where her cutie mark is a little too far round onto her butt because of the wing placements. I don't usually like clothes on ponies, but I like Daring's look really good, though I imagine the chase variant might look a bit silly!

If I preorder and I get a glittery, I will probably trade her off. So there's that haha. I'm just not a fan of them.

Mine finally arrived.  I ordered 7 of each, and got a glitter applejack. It was my biggest order yet as there were two of us hoping for a glitter Big Mac.

Finally! I'm so excited for Rarity. She looks great!

I wound up cancelling my order for Big Mac and I'm glad I did. I fell out of love with him about a week later. :P I can't wait for Rarity though, and this is one glitter I am going to track down for sure.

Ooooo!! Rarity! *grabbie hands* I haven't bought any of the Funkos yet, but I will be buying her!

Which one did you get???

I have totally gotten frustrated with waiting also and calling when there is no sign of them in NC either. Then I saw yesterday that they are almost gone on the HT website so I went ahead and ordered a Big Mac. Don't think I have much of a chance of getting a glitter but oh well...at least I will have my Big Mac.

And I see that Big Mac glitter is now up to 200 on ebay?? These people have gone insane....no way am I paying that much for a glitter pony.

I just placed an order today & had it delivered to my local HT.  I figured since I'll be going there to return most of 'em anyway, I'd just take advantage of the free shipping.

I am crossing my fingers for some glitters!  Last time I ordered this many, I got 2 glittery Twilights...hoping for the same pony luck this time around!

Hot Topic has tricked me!!!!  :lol: OH well...I have been dying for a Big Mac anyway.......and I ordered over the phone yesterday and when I asked the guy if I would still get my 30 percent off for the internet special they had going on he put that onto the 12.54....??...I don't know...but my order ended up being only 9.69 so I'm not complaining. Not a bad deal. Would be an even more spectacular deal if I got a glitter Big Mac :bubble: Please don't pop my bubble!!! Lol

Title: Re: Funko Vinyl Collectibles Thread II (Rarity & Daring Do Prototypes found)
Post by: Gloomygirl777 on June 01, 2014, 08:05:38 AM
Does anyone know if Rarity and Daring are going to be a Hot Topic release...or could they possibly be going to ToysRus????

Gemini.....I started collecting these not long ago too so I will let some of the others answer your question but I would say as far as finding them that ToysRus has some of the older ones or else Barnes a Nobles and FYE......I have seen Dr Whooves, Fluttershy, :muffin: Pony, and RD at Barnes a noble and Fye......and toysrus has pinkie pie, dj pon, and octavia(also a few others). I think Hot Topic depends on your area...because my HT has nothing but Twilight  and Trixie...and they only have a couple of those.
Title: Re: Funko Vinyl Collectibles Thread II (Rarity & Daring Do Prototypes found)
Post by: MilkyTaroMochi on June 01, 2014, 08:28:40 AM
The ones released so far have been:
Rainbow Dash & "Muffin Pony"
Dr. whooves & Fluttershy
Pinkie Pie & Lyra
Spitfire & Sweetie Drops/Bon Bon
Octavia and Dj Pon-3
Trixie & Princess Twilight Sparkler
Applejack & Big Mac

As far as Rarity & Daring Do being released in what store, I would assume they would be at Hot Topic first for the first 6 months before other stores get them. Spitfire and Sweetie Drop were a special case since TRU had them first.
Title: Re: Funko Vinyl Collectibles Thread II (Rarity & Daring Do Prototypes found)
Post by: Flitter on June 01, 2014, 08:37:30 AM
I wonder if TRU will get dibs on any other characters again. I'd expect if they do it'd be a pair of secondary or tertiary characters again and would assume that Rarity & Daring Do will be HT pre-releases as usual.

Since Rarity is in this wave I'm guessing this aligns with the Pinkie Pie Lyra wave, so we should be seeing two new background ponies soon if TRU decides to do another wave!

2013
Wave 1: Rainbow Dash & :muffin: Pony Hooves
Wave 2: Fluttershy & Dr Whooves
SDCC: Glitter Rainbow Dash & :muffin: Pony Whooves
Wave 3: Pinkie Pie & Lyra Heartstrings
Wave 4: Spitfire & Bon Bon
Wave 5: DJ-PON3 & Octavia

2014
Wave 6: Twilight Sparkle & Trixie Lulamoon
Wave 7: Applejack & Big Macintosh
SDCC: Dark DJ-PON3 & ??Dark Rainbow Dash??
Wave 8: Rarity & Daring Do
Wave 9: ?? & ?? (TRU Exclcuive??)
Wave 10: ?? & ??

Hopefully we get more than last year I would love that, but who knows so far seems about the same pace, I wish more stores would carry more Funko pony exclusives, so we could get more characters faster! Like Berry Punch and Thunderlane as like Target exclusives and then like Flitter and Braeburn as walmart exclusives etc. haha I wish...

You could say 2012/2013 for RD and Muffin, since they did have a rerelease wave.
I do recall buying my Muffin pony in that first 2012 wave, since mine has the 5-bubble error.

I just love how Funko Rarity's tail looks, with the curls. They look so nice! :D
I'll certainly try to preorder two (with Hot Cash) of her, and hope one is a glitter. But either way, yay for Rarity Funko!

I do wonder who else will be in the future for a Funko release, besides the princesses (and most-likely-will-happen Discord). Maybe Zecora (gosh I can imagine a glitter funko of her being quite pretty!) ? Shining Armor? The CMCs?

Totally agree her tail looks so accurate I love it, she has one of the coolest hairstyles!

Anyways from what we have been seeing in the past from funko we usually get either main character/background character wave or background/background. The background ponies are always the most popular ponies in the fandom because they know they will sell well. So using this logic this is what I have gathered.

First off main characters we don't have yet:

Princess Celestia
Princess Luna
Princess Cadence
Shining Armor
Spike
Applebloom
Sweetie Belle
Scootaloo

Popular "side characters" we don't have yet:

Soarin
Zecora
Granny Smith
Cheerilee
Maud Pie
Coco Pommel
Cheese Sandwich
Braeburn
Diamond Tiara
Babs Seed
Silver Spoon
Sunset Shimmer
Flash Sentry

Popular background characters in the fandom we don't have yet:

Berry Punch (Berryshine)
Carrot Top (Golden Harvest)
Colgate (Minuette)
Cloud Chaser
Flitter
Bulk Biceps
Thunderlane
Carmel
Roseluck

Of course the villains are popular heres the order of popularity I think:

Discord
Nightmare Moon
Chrysalis
Tirek
King Sombra

Hasbro likes them, but the Caske sets just sit on the shelves, the bronies aren't big fans of them decreases their chances, I don't want them to be honest unless we got so many ponies way before them.

Seriously though.. I want the royal guards so much with lots of different color variants and pony variants all they would need to change is adding wings closed or a horn on some... they should do like the white classic pegasus with blue hair, then Lunas guard, then get rid of the wings add the horn for the grey unicorn guard then for the glitter variant make the crystal empire purple crystal pony!

Not wanting to burst any bubbles but funko has done new characters as SDCC exclusives. Last year there was an Oswald pop figure (original Walt Disney character. The precursor to Mickey). The metallic version if Oswald was first available at SDCC and then The reg noj metallic version was available from retailers later.

Man...I hope Rarity isn't going to be a SDCC exclusive ._.  :cry:

No no of course not! They already announced the SDCC ponies which are a Dark DJ PON-3 and a Dark Acrobatic pony, funko doesn't do new characters for SDCC only variants.

Rarity and Daring Do will be the next two at Hot Topic presale somewhere in July 7/10-7/20 and will be shipped the next month after that so August more than likely.

Not wanting to burst any bubbles but funko has done new characters as SDCC exclusives. Last year there was an Oswald pop figure (original Walt Disney character. The precursor to Mickey). The metallic version if Oswald was first available at SDCC and then The reg noj metallic version was available from retailers later.

Oh good to know! Well so far with MLP its only been variants but maybe there is hope in the future then thanks for the heads up!

Anyways now that I have cooled off a little bit I'm very excited about the Big Mac/AJ wave Big Mac may just be my favorite release from Funko yet its pretty close to Lyra/Bon Bon! I was disappointed I ordered so many and only got 1 glitter, while last wave I got 5 glitters ordering the same amount but you know you win some you lose some, can't always have the best of luck it just sucked on top of everything because my orders were so late and no sign of ponies in store. Hopefully next time around it will go better :)

Nope.  I think you're right, there's no painted on glitter. Hmmm. That's odd.

Many of the glitters dont have the glitter hair though, it is a nice touch, but Spitfire doesn't have it, but I do love that blue!

I've been trying to hunt down a glitter Octavia recently and it ended up with me checking into some nearby comic shops today. It looks like they're releasing a "new" set to small retailers that consists of DJ, Octavia, Sweetie Drops (bonbon) and Spitfire. I believe this is where the glitter sweetie and spitfire is coming from. Especially since their 'release date' for these is around now (june) so... that's my theory. :b

Sadly none of the shops near me are carrying them, but one of them did show me the retailer catalogue that showed that was the assortment they could order.

soon octavia... soon.

@Alzatia I actually highly doubt that Hot Topic will pick up Spitfire and  Bon Bon since they have been out so long, Bon Bon has been out for over a month now I believe as a re-release with a glitter and only been found from online retailers and a couple tiny comic book stores, which is what makes them so hard to hunt down, same for Spitfire I believe so far.

Oh thats interesting. It would also explain why we are seeing so few of them at the moment in glitter if they are instead an alternate wave rather than a straight out 1 in 24 release.

I think it might make them harder to find with it being at small stores. The store I saw the catalogue at isn't even ordering them, but if they wanted to carry them, they could...

so it just depends on if stores want to sell them or not. :/ I know the reason the store I went to said they weren't going to is because the funko figures are already at a lot of other larger retailers around.

Unless this 'wave' is also going to be shipped to toys r us and other stores than hot topic... that much I don't know. I kind of hope it does just so it increases the chances of finding the Bon Bon and Spitfire ones... (and Octavia for me :b)

You found the glitters there? You're right though these two are very popular its fun though because they are far from my favorite releases. Ohh idea for a new thread maybe??

My TRU still has a ton of Spitfires, BonBons, and a few Lyra and Pinkies. And I am almost certain they are the exact same ones I see each time I visit the store. xD So I have no clue if my TRU will ever "restock" with the newer Funkos.
Title: Re: Funko Vinyl Collectibles Thread II (Rarity & Daring Do Prototypes found)
Post by: AJLareneg on June 03, 2014, 04:44:59 PM
I'm pretty sure the Funko releases at Toys R Us are Spitfire/Bon Bon in one box, and then everyone else in one assortment box. My TRU only ever has 1 Octavia/DJ on the shelf at a time (and about 1 of each of the others) but then LOADS AND LOADS of spitfires and Bon Bons. :|

I even asked an employee there and the case SKU were scanning the same for all the other ponies except Spitfire/Bon Bon who shared the same case number, or however it is they do it.

But maybe that's just at my store? I dunno. He was really helpful and I just need to see if I can keep checking/stalking their store in case they get more in, but considering there are so many Funko figures there they're practically spilling off the shelf I don't see them ordering anymore any time soon. -_-;;

That maybe has changed then over time. Initially they were cased as Whooves, FS, :muffin: Pony, RD, Spitfire and Sweetie - assortments of 6 and 12.

I would guess that after those assortments and about the time the Octavia/DJ wave was then available for other retailers, TRU and the likes simply bought in assortments of the 2 pony waves.

For TRU I'm pretty sure that Spitfire/Bon Bon share a number, Rainbow/:muffin: Pony/Dr. Whooves/Fluttershy shared a number with no glitters just a assortment for the four of them, they no longer restock these as far as I know. Lyra/Pinkie shared a number with glitters from what I tell they come in a box of 3 each and glitters are possible. Then lastly DJ/Octavia shipped together in a box of 3 each I believe glitters are possible even though I have never seen them!

Actually, that still may be the case. There was no fluttershy, rainbow, muffin, whooves on the shelf. Just some Lyras and the lone DJ/Octavia, who all shared the same scan. I hadn't considered that then. I guess that would mean my TRU really isn't ordering more funko, since they've been out of those characters for quite some time. Or it could have been part of an older case they still had, since theyve had loads of bon bon and spitfire ever since they first came out.

I wish I could have asked how the assortments came, but that might be a bit too much to ask someone who isn't familiar with the characters names. They'd all just look like random assortments otherwise.

Then lastly DJ/Octavia shipped together in a box of 3 each I believe glitters are possible even though I have never seen them!

The first Spitfire/Sweetie wave at TRU shared the same code and was a part of the same assortment as Fluttershy, etc. That was part of the problem when they first started showing up in shelves, when people went to stores and checked codes they were offered the whole selection or if they called stores to check stock they would be told the items were there only to turn up and find Fluttershy, etc rather than the Spitfire or Sweetie who everyone was looking for. Most people seemed to find boxes of 6 when TRU staff were kind enough to bring them from the back - one of each character.

I think that sounds the most likely and the reason why we are seeing glitters for Lyra/Pinkie and DJ/Octavia there. They have been ordered as 2 pony waves. Where as Spitfire/Sweetie was part of the Fluttershy group and hence why glitters of FS and Whooves have never been found [or confirmed] at TRU. I would think if TRU are carrying the other 2 pony waves, they would perhaps carry the Spitfire/Sweetie 2 pony wave.

Its possible different retailers are being offered different assortments. The 6 pony wave for TRU after all was new and not seen at any other retailer. It was probably what they demanded in order to carry the line - variety in the assortment and as many options in a wave as possible. Its perhaps the same thing Funko do for smaller retailers who dont need to order 24 of the same pony but will consider a wave of 24 if it has at least 4 different characters in it.

I think it's very possible that TRU has different assorts that other retailers. The company I work for offers items to various retailers. We have a standard assort but if Walmart, target, Jen, tru, etc want more or one thing or less of another we will adjust an assort for the store and assign a different sku to the assort fr the retailer. If they stop ordering the assort we can take the assort apart and put the items back into regular stick.

Applejack is my favorite gemstone color. She looks just like Mexican fire opal. So perfect! 

Sadly I think I will have to resort to ebay for some glitters. Especially if sweetie drops and spitfire are so elusive.  Plus I still need to backtrack and find Pinkie Pie. If anyone is selling them for $50 or under send me a pm.   

I think Big Mac and Applejack might be my favorites from Funko. Especially as glitters!  Both actually have a fire opal look to them.  Big Mac would be a cherry fire opal.

I couldn't find them in stores either, so I just asked in store and she ordered them for me.  It's always buy one thing and get 50% off another, PLUS it's free shipping to the store.  I got them before the store order!  I didn't get either glitter but they still look AMAZING in person!

So, can anyone tell me if clear Sweetie Drops and Spitfire are going to be available on Hottopic, or do we have to hunt down little stores and such?  I'm not totally clear where people are finding them.

I completed my Funko POP! collection today. Now I have all the regular ones and the exclusives (Toywiz, Gemini collectibles and Amazon).

Also Applejack and Big Mac have arrived to Finland. Based on tracking info, I may get them on Monday, but the way Finnish Post has worked last month or so, package may not arrive till Tuesday, but I should get them by Wednesday the latest (barring any unexpected delays).

Not Hot Topic.

From what i've gathered, they've been showing up in random comic shops that are starting to carry the funko ponies. I suppose this means they might possibly show up at TRU eventually as well, if they still get new cases of spitfire and sweetie drops.

My Funko collection :) I've got the minis, two glitter Doc Whooves and glitter Rainbow in another cubby. I think the Funkos are my favorite part of G4 to collect.

You can't see the back row really we'll in the picture...it's Spitfire, Muffin Pony, Octavia and Doc Whooves. The only one I don't have is DJ, but I'm not bothered by that because I'm not really a fan. Applejack and Rainbow are my favorites, I think.

Anyone else feel like sharing their collection? :D

My glitter Spitfire arrived today!

I think she looks really neat. Her nds eye is pretty flawed though which is quite disappointing. I might be able to touch it up a bit but the white part is like smeared looking :( She has a little stray orange mark on her tail too. I'm a little more forgiving of paint flaws on the glitters but the eye kinda bugs me, especially as I display my funkos facing forward. I'm still happy to have her. She is a cool color of blue. I just need glitter Big Mac now!

Congrats on your Spitfires Aquatic Neon & SprinkleCupcake! That wasa great deal you found Sprinkle!

Thanks. Yes I did get her off ebay. I understand they kinda had to do solid ears/nose because those are painted on, but the hair might have looked neat if it were translucent. I think she's cool how she is though. I know 2 HT in my area got Big Mac, just no glitters. I haven't checked with the other ones in the past week as I wouldn't have had time to drive out anyway.

Yea, they should have given her the glitter on mane since she doesn't have that much of a glitter body! Awe gotcha no sign of them still around here, thankfully I have both the glitters, but I had to buy my Big Mac on ebay :/

Still waiting for the second box.

Out of the first box, 19 AJ's and no glitters...

...still waiting on 5 more AJ's and 12 Big Mac's.  Crossing all of my fingers and toes on this one!  Hopefully the box will arrive ASAP seeing as that it's the one with a packing slip and I really need to return these!

Glitter prices rising? I see Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Twilight and Big Mac all from $200-$300. Bon Bon and Spitfire are in bidding between $150-$175 woah I only thought a pony like Princess Luna would reach these amounts! :O

Post by: hathorcat on June 11, 2014, 01:13:48 PM
I find them being so expensive odd. We had a conversation before about RD and :muffin: Pony being produced in the 1008 number range. So the prices/values would suggest that store bought glitters are produced in much smaller numbers than 1008 total. It actually surprises me that the sales for this line are so quite low; mind you it just proves that they are quite a specialist item to collect - makes them that much more special :)

I'm pretty bummed about that. I saw Glitter Bon Bon hit $154 and I was like "Nope. Never owning this one. That's ridiculous." I could justify if it was bigger or a con exclusive, but come on, its not worth that much... and Bon Bon is one of the few ponies I actively collect...

I think I will stay satisfied with my regular Big Mac rather than spending a ridiculous sum on ebay.

Post by: Kitzka on June 11, 2014, 07:32:31 PM
I'm
Always amazed at folks who bid so high so early. The there current auctions for Bon Bon and spitfire are so high and have DAYS left. I think with these two in particular we are dealing with pony fans as well as funko fans. Both crowds are very enthusiastic about their products. When you factor in the fact that the stores getting spitfire and Bon Bon now are smaller stores, like indie comic shops or smaller online retailers. Then the current supply for them is low. Not sure how the ponies have been selling at retailers that are not HT, esp with the 6 month exclusivity. If they haven't been selling well then perhaps they won't order as many.


I think it will take time for these two to pop up.

In regards to Big Mac, it's seems that they just hit the east coast today and tomorrow. So I think we will see more glitter Big Macs soon. I think prices on AJ and Big Mac will settle down at $50 like the others.

I hope everyone who wants glitters gets them.

Seriously Flitter! I'm so glad I snagged my Spitfire, honestly the auctions on these guys are going to be high for awhile, my advice is snag th buy it now when you see them for a decent price!

Also Big Mac and AJ finally come to my stores and none got glitters! Wow this wave is opposite of last time!

WOAH okay wow Spitfire is up to $305.00 and still not done! Wow I almost want to sell mine and rebuy again later on, people are willing to pay extreme prices for the new glitters!

Lol! I literally just said the exact same thing to my husband! Sweetie Drops is up that high too. It's just insane. Insane I tell you!!
 :freak: :nuts:

And my Hot Topic got the glitters in yesterday, one of each, and I called too late. Dang!

I've been lucky enough to snag my new glitters at great BIN prices. You've just got to be vigilant and keep checking back and eventually you'll catch that cheap BIN price. Unfortunately, I still need Big Mac and for whatever reason, he never gets listed at a low BIN price. Someday....

Wow you're right thats double what I got my my extra dang I should have put it as an auction lol. Both of them are over $300 thats crazy and still more days to go! I hear you on Big Mac I was lucky enough to snag mine for a good BIN wasn't easy though!  Best of luck to you, Big Mac/AJ wave has been the WORST for glitters for me. First out of all my orders only 1 glitter AJ and no Big Mac. Then out of the four stores semi near to me none got glitters, not a single one unless they are lieing.

A friend of mine is at Origins this weekend and he found a glitter Fluttershy at one of the vendor tables! He picked her up for me. Then after work I stopped by Hot Topic and found a glitter Big Mac! Two glitters in one day. I'm so excited. Big Mac is up on my Funko shelf and if everything goes right my friend should be bringing Fluttershy to me next Friday.  :frolic:

WOAH okay wow Spitfire is up to $305.00 and still not done! Wow I almost want to sell mine and rebuy again later on, people are willing to pay extreme prices for the new glitters!

Lol! I literally just said the exact same thing to my husband! Sweetie Drops is up that high too. It's just insane. Insane I tell you!!
 :freak: :nuts:

And my Hot Topic got the glitters in yesterday, one of each, and I called too late. Dang!

I've been lucky enough to snag my new glitters at great BIN prices. You've just got to be vigilant and keep checking back and eventually you'll catch that cheap BIN price. Unfortunately, I still need Big Mac and for whatever reason, he never gets listed at a low BIN price. Someday....

Wow you're right thats double what I got my my extra dang I should have put it as an auction lol. Both of them are over $300 thats crazy and still more days to go! I hear you on Big Mac I was lucky enough to snag mine for a good BIN wasn't easy though!  Best of luck to you, Big Mac/AJ wave has been the WORST for glitters for me. First out of all my orders only 1 glitter AJ and no Big Mac. Then out of the four stores semi near to me none got glitters, not a single one unless they are lieing.
They might have been lying. I had called my store before asking about glitters, and they said they had none. When I went into the store I found one sitting on the shelf. Luckily though, I only live about 5 minutes from my store so its not a big problem to check. I just was feeling kind of lazy that day. Now I know to just go into the store on the day they come out just in case.

So I'm not sure how far away your stores are or not... but if mine was 30min to an hour or more away I probably wouldn't just show up at them unless there was another reason I had to drive that far.

Due to the low amounts / limited availibility, I fear Bon Bon will stay at least in the $150-$100 range. I think Pinkie's glitter usually sits around $100? I need her for my wife's collection but I'm not paying that much.

Picked up my 2nd box from my order at HT last night.  Get this:  out of 24 AJ's, none were glitter.  Out of 12 Big Mac's, 2 were glitter o_O

I only had 1 extra of Big Mac and 2 of AJ. They aren't truly extras as I ordered them to give to my nieces on their birthday in July.

I've had no luck finding AJ. It's weird that no stores around me have her yet. I want to pick her up at a store so I can get a Twilight half off too.

SoCal Arena-ers: Seen AJ in the wild yet? If so, where?

I call ahead to see when it's best to come in.  I explain I have X-number of Funko ponies and know it can take a while.  They usually tell me a time frame or day that works best for them.

*shrug* The way I look at it, it's their company's policy that you can return online orders to the store.  If someone has a "problem," they shouldn't complain to a customer but find out a way to get the job done.

Making a big stink over four Funko ponies is, IMO, ridiculous.  Something like a register being in the negative isn't your problem.

I admit that I wondered for quite a while about how the people who buy a ton of the Funkos return the extras via store, and how the stores would react to it.  :(

Four isn't a lot at all. I could see/understand them getting upset if you wanted to return like (for example) 40+ Funko ponies all at one time, but just four? That's a really small amount to get upset over. It wasn't right for the store to get mad at you for returning them. Like LittleSpiffy said, it's not your fault/problem that their register is in the red.

Well I would definitely call back up there tomorrow and ask if you can go ahead and bring them back up there. They are still in the box and you have the receipt. There is no reason why you can't return them. If they said no again I would ask to speak to a manager. They are just being jerks.

I have always manged to sell them :)
but  I still have some from  Trixie and Twily , slowly they are going .but I'm sure they all will go, since they are not available online any more and some of the stores are sold out as well.
I prefer to sell them than return them .

A comic book store near where I'm staying in Canada had a handful, sadly both their Lyras had terrible QC (wonky eye decals, large paint flaws, mould issues so there are random lumps of paint or plastic on them, massive glue spills. All of these on both. One or two I could overlook but geez). I bought a mystery mini and aside two pin prick dots on her NDS wing, she's perfect. Heck, even the regular Hasbro blind bags I bought don't have as many quality flaws as the regular-sized Funkos =/ It's incredibly disappointing, especially as these are supposed to be collector's items (and aren't exactly cheap). Hopefully the store just got a bad batch and I'll find another Lyra who doesn't look in such bad condition whilst I'm here...

Why are you quoting my post, while asking about glitters of Bon Bon and Spitfire? My post was about regular Spitfire I ordered from Amazon, because living overseas, where TRU USA doesn't ship, I haven't been able to get this before now (Bon Bon is on its way to me from Amazon too).

Where are people finding glitter Spitfire and BonBon at, just curious?

There Eurocoin, is that better?

From what I have read Brandon people are finding them in random shops. Like small comic book stores...and I know some people are getting them off ebay. They seem to be quite elusive.

Are glitter Spitfire and Bonbon distributed exclusively to comic book shops?

If that's the case, then no wonder their eBay prices are so high! I bet a lot of these shops get their cases in and sell the glitters for a higher rate. It would be hard to look at their going prices online and not do that!

WOW INSANE FIND! You realize that Glitter Spitfire sold for $660 and  Bon Bon sold for $330 right!? How much were they??? I would have bought them all besides Rainbow and :muffin: Pony! It looks like $50 each say you spent $200 for the four Octavia, DJ, Spitfire, and Bon Bon and put them up on ebay you could end up making $1110 on them! Thats a $910 profit you know how many ponies you can buy with that!!!!

For that buyer's sake, I hope that Glitter Bonbon and Spitfire doesn't become more "common" [very soon] to the point where they are worth around $50 each.

Okay but if Spitfire can go for $660 I never thought glitters would go over $200 and if they did it would be a Princess... but just think how popular Princess Luna is can you imagine how much her glitters will go for.... I'm afraid they might go over a thousand...

I would not be surprised if a Glitter Princess Luna went over $1000+. Or even $2000+ if a big-enough bidding war happened.   :shocked:

I hope they do become common and drop down to $35-55 range like most of the glitters seem to get to. I don't want auctions like that setting any sort of standard for future glitters.

Agreed. Even if I had that much money to spend I wouldn't buy a glitter for that amount just on principle.

She's my favorite pony and I WILL get a glitter Luna (I have the feeling many others think this same way) Supply and demand on her is going to be rough I feel due to her popularity kinda like glitter Pinkie Pie. I also wonder if Luna's regular variant will have a glitter mane? I'm SO IMPATIENT waiting for her! Now that the mane 6 is done, we finally should be seeing them!

Oh don't get me wrong at all, guys - I truly do hope the glitters do go down in price drastically to the $35 - $50+ range. And I'm pretty sure more Glitter BonBons and Spitfires will show up soon.
I had meant what I said earlier like this:

Buyer: "...Wow, I paid nearly $1000 for both glitters, and now they're only worth $50 each... D: Why did I do that? "

Especially considering there [quite likely] will be more glitters of both ponies in the future, I find it nuts both of them sold for so much.

I wouldn't say all the glitters drop that low Pinkie, Octavia, etc have not averagely gone down that low I think it depends on the character. This is how I would say the current sales are going, mostly going off auctions and some buy it nows even though those don't really count since thats not as high as they can go, and usually sell fast when they are posted buy it now low.

Rainbow Dash $25-$30
:muffin: Pony Hooves $25-$30
Dr. Whooves $30-$40
Fluttershy $45-$60
Lyra Heartstings $35-$50
Pinkie Pie $70-$100+
DJ-PON3 $50-$60
Octavia $65-100+
Twilight Sparkle $40-$70+
Trixie Lulamoon $50-$70
Big Macintosh $80-$200
Applejack $60-$165
Sweetie Drops $80-$330
Spitfire $660 (Only one auction found)

   buy them all !!!!!!!!!!!!:)

WOW INSANE FIND! You realize that Glitter Spitfire sold for $660 and  Bon Bon sold for $330 right!? How much were they??? I would have bought them all besides Rainbow and :muffin: Pony! It looks like $50 each say you spent $200 for the four Octavia, DJ, Spitfire, and Bon Bon and put them up on ebay you could end up making $1110 on them! Thats a $910 profit you know how many ponies you can buy with that!!!!

Holy cow, really!???? I know where I will be at 10am tomorrow!!! Yes they were $50 each and hopefully Spitty is still there!!!!

That is beyond ridiculous, I can't wait for the prices to go down. AJ's my favorite character and I've been waiting for her glitter version, but I'm not about to pay over $100 for her! I'll wait til she's in the normal stores and see if I get lucky :)

I MUST find a store like this holy cow! You got two Spitfires?! Or was that the one you already had? Good luck with your sales, trust me I know the feeling of wanting to help out a fellow collector and give them a great deal, at the same time needing the most money you can get, its a rough situation.

Aquatic- one of them is my first one, im probably going to sell all 3 of these! I can always buy Spitfire and Bon Bon later since I didnt expect to find them but it depends on how my first Spitfire sells. I got them from a comic book store called Madness Comic and Games (a chain I think?) They order large amount of funkos and always seem to get glitters. I have not checked out Toys R Us or HT for glitter variants in a long long time. The HT lady in my area loves to lie and play dumb with me even though she knows im onto her!  :lol:

Those are ridiculous prices!  I have to think though that it only takes two stubborn people and one bidding war to get a result like that, and there are probably about 4 people who want these that bad.  I'll wait until the hype has died down for sure.  I'm not even that thrilled with glitter Spitfire, I think she looks a LOT like Rainbow Dash...

But did the winners pay for the auctions? I've seen high end auctions that end up relisted or the seller keeps it because the buyer never paid.

I'm just a bit doubtful someone would pay nearly 1000 for two glitter funko. I mean, I suppose it's possible but they must have a very disposable income then. :b

Ive been asking myself that, if the seller even got paid the winning price. It looks like there was some sort of bid war going on. Thats why my husband didnt want me to buy Spitfire and Bon Bon at first. I was reminded the first time a Dr Whooves mini Rainbow Power blindbag went for $700 on ebay and I wonder if the buyer even paid the seller on that one and here I am again asking myself the same question.  If they could sell that much that would be great though! xD. The Spitfire bid history says there were 8 different bidders.

Welcome :) Hope the Surgery goes well.

I'm also going into the Hospital next week :(  even with insurance is a lot of money to pay on co insurance fees for me .
they kill my pony fund every time :(
having Chronic back pain from a herniated disc is a never ending deal :(
so that and the fact that  I hate calling the HT stores lately , so over it with their lies and playing dumb all the time :(. will prevent me from getting glitters at the inflated prices.
I think I will get over it some time later , but right now I'm just fed up with all the non sense, so will just take a brake from hunting the glitters, just keeping an eye on Ebay for a cheap one when  all the hype dies down in another 6 months :) LOL

I went to my Hot Topic today and unlike last time when they only had 2-3 AJs and Big Macs left, they had a full shelf of AJ, Big Mac, Twilight, and Trixie. This little gal was sitting up front and was the only glitter out of, like, 30 MLP Funkos on the shelf:

I'm almost disappointed. She's beautiful and perfect and I want to keep her. I was hoping for Big Mac so I could trade for Sweetie... I may trade this AJ for Sweetie, but I'm torn. :(

Also, after tax she was $21... I was like, damn, these things used to be $17 a peice... she was $18.50 or so before tax... Half my monthly spending budget...

In all seriousness AJ looks delicious!!

Ya know, Ive been wondering that too! Are they still making Rainbow Dash and :muffin: in the factories or are they done with them and  just distributing the extras to stores? Im seeing less and less of the first wave, second wave still floats around my TRU stores. I think eventually they will phase out the first wave, then second, etc and bring them back if theres popular demand. Makes me wonder if characters phase out if their glitter version prices will raise online.
Title: Re: Funko Vinyl Collectibles Thread II (Rarity &amp; Daring Do Prototypes found)
Post by: Kitzka on June 18, 2014, 05:18:36 AM
Hmm that's an interesting question. I don't think any of the waves are officially retired but wave one has been out for 18 months? (Someone correct me if I'm wrong). There isn't a rhyme or reason with what funko decides to retire. The first wave of DC pop characters has had 3 or 4 of the characters retired (out of 6), wave 2 is still readily available (4 characters) and wave 3 was retired after about 6 months in production (6 characters). But all waves can still be found at a few I like retailers, including wave 3 which had the shortest retail cycle.

I think the price of the crystals will depends on whether or not other pony collectors decide they want them. I only see prices rise if there is a sudden uptick in interest. Which could be caused by a retirement or a new interest in the line if they create a long sought after character that hasbro hasn't. So if there are fans who decide that they have been waiting for daring do and then say "wow. I love these funkos. I gotta get them all and the crystals".

True, I just wonder how long that will be I mean I can't see them continuing to make the first few waves after say another 10 waves are out, Hasbro never does that they never restock old waves, once the new ones are out it seems.

Post by: Galactica on June 18, 2014, 10:17:45 AM
Well it really has nothing to do with Hasbro unless Hasbro decided to yank licensing from Funko, which seems unlikely in the near future given how popular the FUnko ponies seem to be.

Whether the ponies will continue to appear on shelves (including the older ponies) depends solely on whether the shops (like comic shops, BnN, Hot Topic, Toys r Us, etc.) continue to order them.  They will probably do so if the product sells well, and not do so if the products seem to be sitting.  Turnover is a lot faster at places like Hot Topic and TRU, so they are much less likely to order the older ones once they run out-  Hot Topic especially is all about what is NEW. 

That's why I don't like the idea of people ordering a ton online only to return them to a Hot Topic store- if that store sees a loss on that product, they are not likely to reorder...

Finally managed to get Trixie, who has eluded me for so long. Found her at a HT 40 miles from the metro area, basically in a big mall that's in the middle of nowhere. My visit confirmed no pony collectors in that area as the clerks told me she had been sitting there for months. They had also gotten in AJ and Big Mac, so I managed to nab a second glitter Mac. No AJ. *sighs* Though a kid who posts in the local FB pony group said she's interested in trading one...

And my god are the online auction prices for Bon Bon and Spitfire ludicrous. There's a good chance they'll start appearing more constantly in the wild soon anyways. They're not worth dropping the equivalent of a PS4's price on them.

I'm sure you can trade glitter AJ for glitter Big Mac-  for whatever reason (popularity probably) he is much more highly sought right now.  You might try the Funko Fanatics forum if you can't find a trade here?

I'm guessing it's popularity. We have six Hot Topic's in my island, and three have been reported to have received glitters in their first shipment, all three glitters being Big Mac. I'm finding that AJ's the harder to come by. And thanks for the suggestion, I haven't really bothered joining Funko Fanatic as I felt this place was already a good enough source for my pony collecting hobby.

Whats funny is in the beginning Big Mac was the harder one to come by due to him going for over $200 on ebay its totally random unless you get a brand new full sealed box of 24 in one order, that's the only guarantee of 1 glitter of a pony. By the way the Funko Fanatic forum really isn't into trading, because when I brought that up a lot of them got mad, they prefer when you find extras glitters to just give them retail price to other members, which I think is silly, trading makes more sense, glitters are worth more than retail because of their rarity.

Some of those DC pops were still selling very well before they were no longer available for retailers to order. I think Batgirl from series 1 was just retired and i know she was a hot seller.

As for trading on the funko forum- it is allowed. in the trading area of the boards. you have to be a member there for a certain amount of time and have a certain amount of posts to be able to post there. The thread that Aquaticneon is talking about is a non trading thread that was begun to help others find the ponies. there has been pony trading but on the trading section of the board.

This. I find trading to be the fairest option. Sometimes one invests a lot in hunting these figures down. Selling them for retail price just doesn't cut it. I'm not saying over charge, but their prices should definitely be above retail.

As to FunkoFanatic, I've been aware of them for a while and have browsed a couple of times. But outside of that I have no real idea of the workings at that place. Just joined, so I guess I'll start finding out soon enough.

I will admit it has surprised me that this has not become a factor for some retailers. Returns are always factored in to decisions on stock and whether or not its worth continuing to order. I wont be surprised if eventually we start seeing limitations on quantities of purchase. I would say I guess it depends on the scale which this happens on?

Someone here posted they do have limits on how many they can take back if you ordered them online, they will make you return them directly to them and not the store, also  if you pay with paypal ,they won't take them back at the store, they have to be returned to them , i believe their limit to take back is less than 10 , but  the only time I returned some ,were for the quality issues on the Pinkie and Lyra, I did not want to get in trouble with people buying them from me and then complaining about the quality issues :(, so I sent them back directly and i remember they wanted me to pay for the return shipping and I escalated to a manager who listened to the quality issue and authorized a free shipping label to be issued for my case of 12 funkos .
but other than that wave , I have not made a return again:)

Muahahhhaha I LOVE it! I think Funko should be paying me for all the advertising I do for them lol jk ;) I love your picture! Glitters are so awesome I love them you have become quite a good hunter, glad I had an influence on you lol. Totally agree I'm almost done with hasbro, I love Funko ponies more than anything hasbro now. We need more stores that carry their own excluives so we get more ponies faster! Come on TRU, Gemini, Think Geek, Walmart, Target, Etc. You guys need your own exclusive pairs! :P

Exactly Alzatia, its a pretty good forum though, the members are cool, its just not as lively as this one. Anyways still wondering when we will see the SDCC ponies... ugh its taking forever anyone remember how many days before the event did we see the Funko pony SDCC exclusives last year?

If I recall :muffin: Pony and Dash where revealed almost a month before the event. And even went on pre-order at Amazon.

Last year official reveals didn't happen till early July (for ponies it was July 12th), but some pics of the figures surfaced before then (Muffin Pony pic on May 16th and RD June 11th). Though for example in Muffin Pony's case the pic was of some kind of non-final production piece, because it had translucent mane and tail, which was not true for the final released figure (I'm still disappointed about that). And yes, both Muffin Pony and RD went on sale at Amazon about month before SDCC, but it was Amazon's mistake and they were pulled out fast and many of those orders were cancelled too (I was lucky and got mine). These early mistake listings were without any pictures.

I love the idea of your dreams but for my wallet I hope to goodness there is some spacing. How about all of these over 2 years.

With how well hT did with these ponies, other retailers would be dumb not to try to get a piece of the action.

Last year it was amazon who released the pony images early. Yes a snafu. But I am guessing if they have any then they won't be making that mistake again.

We know that we are getting SDCC ponies but I wonder what the edition size will be. I know there was much speculation over last year's 1008. And there are still a good number of SDCC muffin and RD around. I'm curious if funko will do a smaller edition size. In my years collecting funko 1008 has been the most. Usually they do 480 or 240. I wonder if they have a smaller edition size if this year's SDCC will be harder to get. Clearly some if the SDCC items will be an edition size if 1008.

Oh and help all of us pony collectors if funko ever does any of the ponies in one of their smaller editions. For there fan evening at SDCC they have a Number of items that are limited to 6, 12 or 24. If a special pony were ever limited to 24, well the price on those could be crazy.

OMG!!!! SO MUCH LOVE!!! Heey Ive taken a picture similar to yours, with the glitters scattered all over the floor like that! Great minds think alike!! I think when Funko is done with MLP (maybe in like 5years) I can arrange all of them into one GIANTrainbow!!! :rainbow: Hmmmm.... by then I might need a really big shelf!

I think the price of Big Mac is just settling down to normal now that more people are finding him.  $50 should be what these cost at most.  I've been able to get all mine off ebay for that much or less including shipping. A few have been only $35!  Spitfire and Bon Bon might be the only exceptions depending on if they start sending out more or not.  The fact that you couldn't get glitters of them at Hot Topic is what is making them more scarce. 




They all remind me of different things:

Big Mac is a Mexican cherry fire opal.
Applejack is Mexican fire jelly opal (orange  variation).
Spitfire is an aqua marine gemstone of the highest quality color.
Dr. W is a rootbeer gummi.
Fluttershy is a lemon gummi.
DJ is Sprite.
Bon Bon is Ginger Ale.

And I meant to thank Aquaticneon for posting pics of the glitter ponies like that. Against the white background the colors really pop! and what am impressive display in box. Do you display inbox? I know you have pics of them out of the box but was just wondering.

I also forgot to mention that I was able to visit Funko HQ and saw a production sample for Rarity. It;s been a long time coming but she looks FANTASTIC and is totally worth the wait. I wasn't allowed to take a pic sorry.

Awe thank you! I actually am displaying in box right now, but I do switch it up, I was displaying them out of box for awhile, but my display with my shelf atm looks better with them in the darn Trixie Box doesn't want to fit though! Once I have a lot more figures such as Discord, and Princesses I will probably start displays out of box I'm not sure it kinda depends on space and what not so far half of my shelf is filled, the blindbags and all that will have to move when more funkos come out ;)

I don't think (once the hype dies down) that Sweetie Drops and Spitfire will be as hard to find as people fear.  They will show up at Barns n Nobles and all the little shops that sell most of Funko's product.   I think the prices we are seeing are due to people not wanting to wait, and panic.

I've been out of the loop for a while, so this may be a silly question (I'm at work and didn't want to leaf through 46 pages), but has Daring Doo been released? I have been hoping that she would be the fair exclusive for a few years now, and my guess is this is going to be the only way to get one.

Found glitter Spitfire at Wizard World Philly!!!!!

The vendor made the comment that I got the last one.  He had TONS of normal Funkos, so I asked if he had more than one Spitfire.  Apparently he did...but didn't know how many.

...although I am kookoo for for glittery Funko ponies, she's going on eBay (I,er, spent too much today lol).

Were there different versions of her released? I thought for some reason she had purple glitter and not gold, but maybe I was mistaken? I wonder where I got the idea from. xD;

Yea mine has gold too. :3 Maybe I was just mistaken in what color her glitter was?

Either way, she is so pretty and I'm really glad I managed to get one.

And now I think I have the glitters I like (for now)... unless future releases change that.

I'm really curious to see how Rarity is handled. I hope her mane is clear as well, like Twilight's is. I think she'd be super pretty like that. *_*

Got my Bon Bon (standard non-glitter version) from Amazon today. I had read, that like Spitfire also Bon Bon has a pretty bad qc, though this one, while not flawless, wasn't worse than my other Funko ponies from other waves.

  So in total  the box will have :

3 discords
2 Twilies
2 Trixies
2 Big Macs
1 Rarity
1 AJ
1 Daring Do

Wish it was 3 Raritys instead of 3 Discords !

I like that there is 3 Discords, so you have a better chance of getting the character that a lot of (if not most) people want from this set.
But I do agree on wishing there was more Rarity. I can see P-Twilight getting two figures, but I'd rather not Trixie get two (but i admit i really dont like her character, so I am a bit biased on that ^^; )

Good point, many are going to want him most. Ugh they had better make a big Discord... getting worried since we haven't seen the prototype.. the minis are okay.. but I MUCH prefer the standard size

ALL OF MY YES RIGHT NOW PLEASE! *faints :drunk: Hmm but wouldn't she be in this set then? That's what I don't understand...

So in total  the box will have :

3 discords
2 Twilies
2 Trixies
2 Big Macs
1 Rarity
1 AJ
1 Daring Do

Wish it was 3 Raritys instead of 3 Discords !
I like that there is 3 Discords, so you have a better chance of getting the character that a lot of (if not most) people want from this set.
But I do agree on wishing there was more Rarity. I can see P-Twilight getting two figures, but I'd rather not Trixie get two (but i admit i really dont like her character, so I am a bit biased on that ^^; )

Good point, many are going to want him most. Ugh they had better make a big Discord... getting worried since we haven't seen the prototype.. the minis are okay.. but I MUCH prefer the standard size

My kid is dying for someone to produce a plush discord with poseable arms, as well as a funko vinyl "big"  sized one

My complaints are laughable:  I can't get a glitter AJ!  I've gottwn 4 Glitter Macs instead!

I know, right?  #ridiculousponycomplaints

In case anyone is curious... 0/36 for AJ & 4/24 for Big Mac

I wonder if they shipped the majority of glitter AJs first...

I may place another order if they aren't sold out online...

When I went in, I said "This is my last order..."

Then I went through the box.

"The next order will be my last order...until the next two come out."

They just laugh at me.  I asked if they return them to the warehouse or keep them there.  I was told they keep them in the store...but they're so popular that the last 32 I returned were almost all gone.  One lady bought six AJs at once.  I guess I'm keeping the masses happy?

They have revealed a bit from here and there. The lowest revealed hint on the list so far is #40. Assumed ponies are #48 and #49 on the list. With their current reveal pace, it takes just before SDCC until all have been revealed. So with bad luck it may take three weeks or so before we have our pony reveal (if indeed those two entries on the list were ponies in the first place).

Grabbed Lyra and Fluttershy minis (it's lovely being in a country where the supermarkets stock this kinda thing and comic stores are alive and well!). I really like the miniature ones, actually. I got a full size Lyra, gave up on finding a flawless one lol (how do they screw up painting one single, fat stripe? geez).

It's a shame I'll have left before series 2 come out, as I want both Twilies, black Trixie and Discord and Daring Do, but ah well xD In good time!

I had a Twilight figure I got for repainting purposes, and I hadn't noticed they forgot to put the stripes on her tail on one entire side. :/ It was just blank. I had been there assuming Funko had just gotten lazy and didn't paint the one side of her tail until I looked at my other (regular) twilight and saw her tail was painted on both sides. e_e;

I mean, I repainted her tail anyway since she was the one I was editing, but it is a bit ridiculous they let stuff like that slip through too. I wish I had noticed in the store before I bought her, or else I wouldn't have picked that one. -_-;

I've been attending Crystal Fair convention here in Finland this weekend and I got crystal Dr. Whooves from there. Kinda having a small buyers remorse because of the price. One seller there had a crystal Fluttershy I'd really want, but price was horrible (80 euros approx. $110). Though I did buy a German Burger King Fluttershy from him as it was reasonable priced and good addition to my Fluttershy collection.

OH well that was not much of a surprise.  Guess I'm glad that it's Spitfire and not RD, who was the more obvious choice.  I'm not surprised in the least at the SDCC choice, since Funko traditionally just does a new material/pose/color of an existing character for their exclusive (they are a super tiny company so this is probably related to production cost)

Wow, those are big numbers! 

I think last year's SDCC ponies actually sold pretty well from Funko's standards, we see them a lot on the secondary market since I think a lot were bought up in the hopes they'd have more value...

I hope Amazon does another special sale for them again this year!

They're okay. Spitfire's orange looks really nice with the black (though, shouldn't her wings be orange, too? I thought the Wonderbolt suits had gaps for their wings, too, and it looks odd they coloured her nose orange and not the wings). I had been debating picking up her mini, actually. If these are available on Amazon US for the same price as Dizzy and Dash then awesome; those were cheaper and easier to get hold of than regular Funkos here :lol:

Well my master plan of buying 24-36 ponies at a time & returning the non-glitters at the store ended.

The district manager called me & told me it's messing up distribution...and I can't do it anymore :(

Tge thing is: I have another 36 AJ's at the store (or about to be).  I called customer service & they'll work something out with me regarding the return shipping costs...after I pick them up.

Great company, great customer service, but I am bummed out that something I thought was too good to be true...is.

(Although he did say if there wre only 5 or less it would be okay....)

Well I guess the guesses were spot on but I do think its still disappointing. Even if they had just done one exclusive but perhaps a different character; they could even have used an existing mould and just changed colour to add some variety.

As to the numbers...wow 2000 in a run! I guess there will be no issue in tracking them down after SDCC then if last year's exclusives are any indication.

Oh, I really like these. I think Spitfire is one of the nicest looking Funko's yet, so I don't mind having another one, as for DJ, I don't have any Funko's of her, so this works out perfectly. Keeping my fingers crossed that these are easy to get and not overly pricey :)

That pic bugs me more about Spitfire's wings :lol: I hope they'll have the matte black finish the Minis have...The more I look at her, the more I want her. I really hope they'll be on Amazon again...I'll cross my fingers!


Also, I reckon if they had simply repainted Spitfire's mould, people would be complaining that the character hadn't gotten their own unique mould. I personally think the exclusive variant is a great idea as it means the basic version of the character is (in theory) readily available to the average fan, and hardcore collectors or fans of the character will still buy the exclusive variant.

So why are people disappointed they're variants of existing characters if all Funko's SDCC figures are repaints and variants? It's not like it's a surprise :huh: And they at least regularly releasing new characters with unique moulds unlike another company coughHasbrocough.

I will say that's absolutely true. The reason I don't collect all the funkos is the lack of unique looks and poses, but yes at least they do produce distinct characters!

People are dissappointed because they are the same as the minis, if they would have made them glow in the dark versions or something would have been much better, or Rainbow Dash with wonderbolts outfit colors painted on.

I guess, but those would still be variants of the same ponies (I suppose a Wonderbolt Rainbow Dash would have been more imaginative but there's way too much Rainbow Dash merch as it is.) and they already made a glow-in-the-dark DJ in the mini pack :lol:

I think DJ looks weird in black but I'm not massively keen on her anyway. My major issues with them is that they don't look like they'll have the matte finish the minis have and the inconsistency with painting Spitfire's fur. Her mini did have painted wings so I wonder if this is a mistake?

Wow, and I thought the regular MLP SDCC exclusives were bad. ^^'  They could have at least made Spitfire a Glow in the Dark figure and do the same for another pony, instead of DJ. Heck, maybe even DJ a GitD would have been better than this.

Unless Spitfire is pretty cheap when she gets released, I'll just go hunt down the Funko Mini version of her.

Face, meet palm. If the black figures are the norm for the minis and you have to work to find ones with proper coloring, shouldn't that have meant Funko knows the black ones aren't as good? It's like someone reminded Funko that SDCC was coming up and they panicked and grabbed the first bucket of paint they could find

they could have made clear black glitter versions of Spitfire/DJ. Like, the same black versions, but "clear glitter'd". (I probably made no sense. D: )
That would have been neat.

A bigger version of an already released figure that already had a bigger version in a different color.
I love Dj but i can't see myself spending a lot of money on one of these. It would feel like buying something i already got.

I don't think the black works too well on DJ PON-3 in that particular mold, but I do like Spitfire. And actually, comparing the pictures of yellow wings vs black wings, I think... I actually prefer the black ones! I wonder which one we'll end up with.

I'm not too thrilled with these and I won't be getting them, but I'm not complaining either. Probably just means that they will be doing an entire line of large vers. of the black MLP Funkos soon.

All my money is going into savings to get the EAH exclusive. God, I want it so bad. I hate Mattel and the way the market their SDCC stuff.

Something about that expression just didn't communicate well to vinyl, because while those eyes look okay in the show, they don't look the same of the figure. Something is just...off?

They are nice but not super exciting. I get that they were going to do existing characters but instead of just a black recolor they should have gone with a special finish. Something like metallic or Glow in the Dark or flocked.

At least we didn't get Equestria Girls ReAction figures.

I don't like Spitfire's eyes either.  I LOVE this pony and her color/design, but the Funko version looks like she's stoned or something.  It looks very odd.  Maybe they made her eyes a bit TOO slitted.  Not something easily fixed either.  Somehow it doesn't look so horrible on the tiny figures...

I like the mini dark ponies, but I don't think I need larger versions of them.  The black is an interesting concept (however odd it is in the first place), but it isn't as well loved as the colored and glitter versions. 

I am not sure if I will get them to complete my collection or not.  I really dislike DJ Pon3.  There is nothing about her design I like (just my personal opinion), they keep shoving out versions of her across the board (for Funko she is a mini glow, a mini black, and a mini colored, regular sized colored, regular sized glitter, plus with Hasbro we have the SDCC DJ crystal pony and the brushable, then there was all of Welovefines DJ statues), and finally, her backwards music notes drive me crazy.  So I don't want any thing else of her at all ever. 

I know some of you love her and there are tons of overdone versions of other characters (like Pinkie), but DJ is just the one I personally can't stand.

Rarity, Daring Do and Discord are now on pre-order at Hot Topic, with street date August 19th. Rarity and Daring Do are $18.50 a piece and Discord is $24.50. All of the figures also have crystal variants, though they were not pictured at HT site. Pictures of figures are below hidden in spoiler tags.

Also if anyone can help out this poor overseas fellow to get these, it would be awesome and highly appreciated.

Aquatic thanks for posting the HT sweepstakes info. I was going to mention that with some retailers or licensers they want to keep the funko proto types or a certain number of them. I know this happened with the wrestling ones. Some protos only came up for sale recently. The WwE held on to their protos for quite a bit.

I'm happy to see discord will be able to stand well. I hope these arrive to me before I leave for vacation. It will be tough to know that theses rewriting for me all week! Lol

I'll definitely be grabbing all 3 of these from an arena member again since I can't order from Hot Topic lol.

ETA I had no idea that Discord was being released so soon :shocked: Although I'm not a huge Discord fan, I really like this figure and I can't wait to add it to the collection :)
I can do it :) let me know !

You were just the person I was gonna ask :P Please put me down for one of each :biggrin:

Nice! Rarity's eye looks really misplaced in that pic, but it also looks shopped so it'll probably be fine in person. I want to preorder her & Daring but I'm a bit concerned about Daring; with all those details I think I might want to pick out paint jobs in person this time. I don't think I'll get Discord. I might change my mind once seeing him in person but I think I just want an accurate color mystery mini of him and can be good with that if anything.

It's interesting that normal-sized Discord is in a different pose than mini-Discord. I wonder why that is? I wouldn't think they'd use multiple poses for one character.

I am really excited for this wave, but I think I'll wait to get them. Money's kinda tight, and I'm putting some aside for the 4DE Rarity I preordered :D

I assume so that he would fit into the standard mini boxes; if Discord's boxes were larger there would be less of a mystery  :P

I just preordered all 3 for a little under $39 shipped. That's a pretty nice deal! Thanks for posting the codes. I can't really afford it at the moment, but hopefully I'll do some more sales on MH Arena before they take the money out of my bank account.  ^^;

...I don't even want to think about getting the glitters. I still haven't been able to get Big Mac or Applejack at an okay price. I may have to give up on those.  -_-

Aww, I was hoping he'd be in his "statue" pose from S2. :C

At least Rarity looks fabulous x3 Buuut Funko needs diverse poses. It would make the characters look more like...well, their character. Rarity's figure would look better and more accurate with a pose like this:
http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/159/c/6/rarity_posing_by_triox404-d52szp3.png (http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/159/c/6/rarity_posing_by_triox404-d52szp3.png)

I normally don't care about accuracy, but Funko's trying to be as accurate as possible aren't they?

Post by: Gloomygirl777 on July 19, 2014, 07:49:06 PM
I agree with your idea about the poses Vulpy...Rarity would look great in a pose like that. She is probably going to be the only one I am going to get out of these 3. I am not interested in Daring....and still debating on Discord. He is not my favorite character but his figure would look really awesome up on my shelf......hmmmmm.....did I just talk myself into getting him?? :lol: I can't wait to see what his glitter looks like but I have a feeling it is going to be waaaaayyyyyyyy too expensive for me :(

I have pretty much given up on glitters at this point...as far as I know..the only HT near me never even got in Big Mac and AJ. It just seems hopeless.... -_-

Preordered the new 3 and entered the discprd prototype sweepstakes!!!

Couple things that I thought worth noting thats interesting about the two exclusives people might be happy about the DJ one. First off they both have different stickers which is interesting DJ has a round purple one like last years, and Spitfires is black and square. Spitfire has black wings unlike the mini who has colored wings! DJ has glitter in her hair! Interesting.

SDCC DJ Pon-3 and Spitfire are up at Amazon. DJ is "In Stock", while Spitfire has estimated arrival date of July 28th.  And they are priced $19.99 / each. And yes, I just ordered a set.

They are listed with these names (and are sold by Amazon themselves):
* Funko My Little Pony Vinyl Figure: DJ Pon 3 Dash- Black Version
* Funko My Little Pony Vinyl Figure: Spitfire- Black Version

I got Spitfire but passed on DJ.... I like DJ well enough, but there have been SO MANY VERSIONS of her- I might have reached my max.

I might remove the black on her wings with acetone.  I bet the plastic underneath is orange.  It looks stupid for her to have black wings- how on earth would she fly?  Definitely a factory error- but one that they evidently decided not to correct (probably because not enough time to correct the entire lot).  Pretty sad.

I might find someone to re-paint her eyes too- they just look a little drugged.

I think you're right actually. I can see a small size difference too. I think SDCC DJ's neck might be shorter? I'm not sure, but I'm definitely seeing the size difference as well.

Four new Funko POP characters are coming as well including Discord, Celestia, Trixe, Spitfire, and possibly two more I would assume Applejack and Rarity.

Target is getting their very own exclusive as well soon (this could be a rumor, but almost for sure this is legit, now if only walmart, barnes, and toysrus would do the same we would be flooded with ponies!)

Tons of great news today! If only I could have saw the wall myself! Luna and Celestia will probably have a October presale and November release looks like just in time for Christmas, apparently they stood together on the wall so more than likely will be released together!

I would guess a concept wall is like what most of us work to in product design - which is thoughts and possible options...not actual releases unfortunately.

Right makes sense. I was told that a another princess was coming this year besides Twilight so I knew one of the other three were coming, because everything she has told me has come true. So I would bet both Luna and Celestia will be coming this year. Pretty exciting since the sisters are two of my favorite all time characters!

Also for the first time ever we will be getting an accurate Princess Luna with the correct colors!

It's very random I would say its about a 25% chance that a walmart carries them.... I think out of four by me only one has them...

Oh the irony. It would now be cheaper for me to order Rarity, Daring Do and Discord from Hot Topic, than it was with the Hot Cash. Though I don't think I'll bother to do a cancellation-reorder thing just because of few dollars (or euros) savings.

If they do do princess ponies I hope that they change up the pose. Actually I hope they end up changing up the poses for all of their new releases, the same pose over and over is getting old.

The guy said he could have a BonBon, no more Spitfires, and I haven't had the time to check the vendor hall since then. And if they do have her, I sadly won't be able to get her or I'll starve here lol. I'll ask him tomorrow about it atleast.

Went by my local HT today... there were no Funko Vinyls in the store, but a wall... literally floor to cieling, a section devoted just to POPs. They have a lot of the SDCC ones... really wanted to pick some up for people but I don't have the cash.

Still NO luck at getting glitter Sweetie Drops. Has her price dropped at all?

I did get an Ariel Disney Mini Series 2 figure, though. Its the closed eyes/smiling one, if anyone wants her. Would trade for the common Simba.

I think it's going to take a while for the Sweetie-Drops and Spitfire scalper/collector fever to die down.  As long as there are people (who don't realize they aren't as rare as previously thought) willing to throw down big $$ for them on ebay, the prices will stay high.  They have started to fall a bit though I noticed...

stupid scalpers.  :throw:

It took a long time for the price of glitter Fluttershy to go down too, but she did eventually.   Big Mac got very pricey there for a second, but then was eclipsed by Spitfire and Sweetie Drops.

Patience....

I think only one wave they were early correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was the Lyra/Pinkie wave? All others seems to be weeks late from what I remember especially the last three waves.

And Spike since he is the same size! I bet they would all be cheaper too since they are like half the size of the standard sized adult pony so maybe $12.50 each?

i know when I preordered Fluttershy, she was sent out basically the day or two after the street date, if not the day of.

And I dont see why they wouldn't put the CMCs funkos in a special set. In a way, it wouldnt make sense to release them by themselves, unless it was with their sisters/idol (in Scootaloo's case). Just because it hasnt happened yet, doesnt mean it never will. But i can imagine them getting the mini treatment like the blind boxes before a full-size release.

You can't use Hot Cash at the moment. With Hot Cash you can either use it or earn it, and at the moment Hot Cash earning period is going on. I think the next time you can use Hot Cash is at some point in September.

You can only use one Hot Cash code at the time online, but if you have multiple coupons, you can contact Hot Topic's customer service and they'll provide you with the code for the combined amount, but like I said above, you can't use Hot Cash at the moment.

I doubt it also but you never know it's hard to imagine getting them seperate . But I guess they would be too big to be cooped up in one box. I guess we will see what happens if they get released.

My local HT has the same setup except the vinyl ponies are on the top shelf touching the ceiling, so it's impossible to rifle through them for glitters. I think that's why they were put up there? Not sure. It's a really confusing setup that makes it impossible to figure out what ponies they have in stock.

Have images of glitter Daring Do surfaced? I can't remember if they have.

I didn't get any notification but I had them shipped to store because I thought they might arrive the same time the store stock does. It made sense in my head. :b

Still "Fulfilling Order" for me. Of course, with my luck I'll get email from them saying I'm not getting Discord because it's not available at the moment. And this is not some far fetched story or thing, but something they did with a product I pre-ordered from them last year.

I am in the east coast and the ponies show up here about 2 weeks after the "street date". In the past the west coast and south stores have received them first and then central and east.

And I too wonder why there have not been any real life pics or pics if the glitter.

I can't wait for these to arrive. Post pics folks!

I bet when they do pop up, it will cause Spitfire/Sweetie chase figures to drop in price finally (hopefully).

In typical Tulsa fashion, the man I spoke to at the local Hot Topic didn't even know what a "Funko Rarity" was.

In typical Tulsa fashion, the man I spoke to at the local Hot Topic didn't even know what a "Funko Rarity" was.
Whenever I call stores, I just try to simplify it as possible. Like I'd say " Do you have any of the My Little Pony figurines? They're kinda big, come in a black see-through box, ect.". If they say yes, I try to say (for example) " Do you have one named AppleJack? She's orange with yellow hair, has a cowboy hat on, ect."
 I've learned that most times, they don't know exactly what they're selling in their own store. ^^;

I checked my stores and none had the ponies in yet. They said they probably wouldnt get any Discord in because they sold out online. Aaahhh! I want my pones to get here already!!!

Also I wanted to add my stores told me today they will no longer hold glitters for people anymore. I have no idea if that means all hotopics in general or just my local stores making up their own rules.... :|

Post by: MoondancerMilkyWay on August 19, 2014, 02:19:54 PM
mine told me they never got glitters in and they would *call* me or put me on the list...
they called me to remind me to spend my hot cash, i'll give them that...but i haven't received a call about "hey, we have glitters" so i guess we will see, huh?

I can understand why stores wont hold Glitters anymore, ic an imagine it being annoying when people constantly call to ask about glitters, asking them to dig through what Funko ponies they have in search for one.  Truthfully, if I ran a store that sold them, I wouldn't hold glitters for people, either.

Post by: AJLareneg on August 19, 2014, 03:18:35 PM
I don't ask about the glitters, I go check myself if the store has gotten the new wave in. :b partially for that reason and also because the one time I asked they said they had none and I went and found one on the shelf anyway.

nope , last time I ordered like that too, and the boxes were sealed :) 
they said if I wanted to open them and just take the funkos on bags instead of walking with too many boxes to the car through the mall :)
so hope is that way this time around too :)

I wonder if they'll ever rerelease Rainbow Dash with better, more show-accurate mane colours? At the moment she's got her orange streak replaced with a very clashy blue, and it's putting me off buying one.
Title: Re: Funko Vinyl Collectibles Thread II (Rarity/Discord/Daring Do Now Shipping)
Post by: Midnight_Dream on August 20, 2014, 01:28:01 AM
If you want more show-accurate I suggest you buy a Rainbowdash and paint it yourself. Expecting show accurate from anything that isn't a customizer is a bit ridiculous.

I am interested in seeing what Glitter Discord looks like, hopefully better than Spitfire.

Anyone up to date with their local stores? Manager at the nearest one gives a 4 day arrival after online street date estimate at the earliest for them to arrive here in Puerto Rico. I'm guessing since most of you are mainland you will see them sooner.

Sadly I don't think I'll be here for when they do arrive as I'll be in California. Anyone know anything about Hot Topic's near Pasadena?

Really? I don't think it's ridiculous at all :P The reason everybody loves these is because they ARE so show-accurate! I'm not asking for super-fine details like individual coat hairs, just correctly-ordered mane colours. It'd be as simple as changing it from blue-red-yellow to red-orange-yellow, really. Wouldn't require a change in mold, just paint.

but if they did change the mold I'd really like her green-blue-purple hair on one side only as opposed to both! I think they got that idea off the blind bags, and they haven't done it for any other characters. Thankfully.

Series 2 minis were just released....the cheapest way (unless you're after the HT Exclusive ones) is to order a case on toywhiz or bigbadtoystore.  the GITD ones I believe came from Aliexpress?

The stats are 1 in 72 I think? 

I think all the Hot Topic stores are BOGO for the minis right now, so it probably would be a good time to get them!

Hope to find the Glitter Daring Do on my next orders

No waaaay! Houston, did you get both of those through your preorder!? Did you order like 5 of each? Ahhh! So jealous! xD Congrats!!!!!


If anyone is curious about a glitter Daring Do, these a couple overpriced ones on evilbay! She looks like a cream soda :)

Went by Hot Topic again today and they only had Aj and Big Mac. No glitters. No mini funkos or any mini trading figures at all. Still a wall full of Pops!, including tons of SDCC ones.

Today has been a very good pony day!

I left work today to find my phone had exploded with texts. Turned out my friend stopped by Hot Topic today on his lunch break and came back with Discord and Daring Doo glitters! He's keeping them safe for me until we can work out a time to get together.

I stopped into my local Hot Topic hoping that I could find Rarity to complete the set. They had to pull the boxes from the back. The cashier handed me the box containing the Rarity figures. The first one I pulled out was glitter Rarity!

I can't believe I managed to get all 3 in one day!

Good luck to everyone, I still have more on the way lol, and I'm done already, so much better than last wave for me, the Big Mac and AJ were super late and glitters were so hard for me to obtain!

Hmmm Funko worthy? Besides what you listed, well who knows what ponies are to come in the future, but anyone who has a lot of popularity! I think Maud Pie, Flash Sentry, Zecora, Soarin, Chrysalis, and Shining Armor have a pretty good shot! I think as the show grows more and more, and certain characters stand out and become a hit, they have a good chance!

Daring Do was a surprise. I'd say Zecora for sure, at least, and probably Cadance and Shining Armor too.

Post by: Aitsuki on August 23, 2014, 02:15:40 AM
I agree on Cadence and Shining Armor.... they're hardly background ponies after all, and their designs are very good. They'd sell well. Roseluck, Daisy, and Lily are possible too; they're popular in their own way. Then there's Babs, the other foals at Ponyville school, Cheerilee, the Mysterious Mare Do Well could be another Comic Con exclusive... not to mention other villains. After all, Discord is more villain-esque in his release with his maniacal poses. So Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis, Sombra, maybe even Tirek. Although Tirek would be a positively massive figure.....

Houstoncollector's looks pretty white to me. She has a milky look, like light through smoke... look at his pictures, you'll see what I mean. She's not soda clear like the others, definitely more translucent, but still see through enough and not as pink as she seems. It's just the purple hair parts and purple glitter in her, she would have wound up looking pink either way.... probably why DJ was so dark in her chase.

Maybe it's my screen? I thought she had a milky appearance, but I didn't see the pink tint until Mori posted her photo's. I guess I was hoping she'd look more like her Glitter BB release.

Wow these pics are awesome.

Aquatic- you are running out of room! :) but the collection looks good like that. The boxes fit well and display perfectly in there.

Mori- huge congrats on your find and so nice of your friend to pick up the other glitters for you. And thank you for the awesome out of the box pics.

I can't wait to see glittery rarity in person. In some pics she looks pink to me, in others more translucent. I'm still not sure how I feel about the cloudy glitter but I need her so I won't complain either way ;)

These have not hit my local stores and with my luck they will hit next week when I'm out of the country but I know I will get them eventually.

Congrats again everyone!

Yes, the HT closest ro me has all three...

...but when I called other area HTs, they didn't seem to have Daring Dk for so.e reason. Very weird.

I am currently standing outside a HT that said they had glitters on FB.

BTW:  I asked why only one store in the area has Daring Do.

According to the sales rep, when they don't know how popular an item will be, they send it to their biggest store in the area first.

If it does well, they'll order more.

I'd love to hear who is finding Daring Do in their area.  Just to see if she was correct or making things up (like when she said glitters are 1/500 o_O)

Boston area peeps: Just got back from Hot Topic in Square One Mall, Saugus and they're well stocked with all 3 new vinyls. Including one glitter Rarity (I care nothing for glitters). If you're coming a long way, call them. They're nice and they may hold it.

If anyone stops by their HT and sees a spare glitter they dont want, can they pick it up for me? xD Apparently I have competition as the lady on my phone said she has been bombarded with mlp callers! I dont think I stand a chance here :(

I did call the stores in the area and only one other got them in. I also picked up 2 mystery minis and got a reg colored spitfire and a black daring do! A great day!!

I called the biggest store in my area this morning and they said they haven't gotten the new ones yet. I always get so anxious at this point. :drunk: I'll probably run by the HT nearest to me later this afternoon just to check.

I'm actually glad they did a milky finish on the Rarity chase. I think it suits her and distinguishes her from DJ.
Big Mac is slightly more opaque too so I think it's cool.

We should start some sort of Glitter Funko Co-Op where we glitter hunters agree to get every glitter we find & sell it to another person in the group for retail cost.  Even if it's juat a couple of us, it may make getting them easier/less stressful.

On that note, since Discord is sold out online, I grabbed the only two in the store if anyone needs one.   I noticed people are attempting to price fix him at $49.99.  I think we may witness one of those lovely over priced pony bubbles.

Anyway, if anyone needs a regular Discord, I can sell it to you at retail + shipping.   My guess it will be $25 -$30.  I'll also trade him for Glitter Daring Do if you aren't into glitters and just hzppen to have one :)

Got mine in the mail today! Glitter Discord and regular Rarity and Daring Do ^_^ I'm still quite behind on my glitters though.

I do have an extra glitter Fluttershy if anyone wants to trade for glitter Rarity, Applejack, Daring Do, Spitfire or Bon Bon.


Ooooh!  I'm still looking for Fluttershy!

I have more ponies coming in next week.  If I get a second Rarity, I am totally goibg to PM you!


I'm glad there's interest in the glitter group!  I'll see what I can do to organize it ;)

I really like the idea of a glitter group, it would be nice to not have to pay scalper prices, especially for those of us who don't have hot topics near them :)

Yeah! A group or trading thread would be great! I'd love that as long as there is no price policing. (There is a lot of name calling and whatnot going on in another collector group I'm in right now and it's really irritating. I'd hate to see that happen here. Hunting chase figures can take a lot of time and gas often without success and you can't always find a trade partner. I know we all would like to be able to buy glitters at retail but I can't blame someone for asking market value.)

I agree: there are times when I need to sell a glitter for market value to offset the costs of collecting.

I consider a scalper somone who is in no way affiliated with the pony community who buys them just to make a buck.

I think, maybe, a cap could be placed on each pony ( like no more than $10 or $15 above retail). 

We'll work out the details together :)

As I just started collecting glitters about 2 months ago, I would love to do trades when possible.  I am way behind obviously.  But I already managed to pick up a double of one.  I bought it hoping to trade. :)

I don't have any local Hot Topics, but since the newest set seems to be showing up in east coast and midwest locations already, I'm going to give a few stores a call tomorrow and see if they've got them in. If so, I'll be going on a bit of a road trip to hunt glitters... :'D It's a good excuse to visit the malls too since I never get to go anyway. :)

I'd also be up for the glitter trade group... Though if I end up with any glitters tomorrow aside from Rarity, I will probably keep them for a future wave since I've got all the glitters I want currently.

You should definitely try to go. I have been to the old hq and the new hq. Got a tour of both it's really cool. If you time it right you might be able to get a preview of upcoming releases but also see prototypes. My last tour was when we saw prototypes of daring do and rarity. So when I was there I saw the proto type as well as hand painted proto type of rarity. Also got to peek at the concept board.


It's really cool oh and I met the designer who works on the mlp line. There are a few designers but just 1 who does the ponies.

Not officially. When I was there it was all about SDCC so I knew most if the SDCC exclusives before they were announced. There were a ton of projects on the concept board but some may be coming out this year or some may come next year.

I would prefer not to say who I saw as there was no timeline for their release. I also wouldn't want to say and have it turn out that funko or hasbro changes things up.

I can say there should be a target exclusive variant coming this oct/nov

No new Funko vinyls in my state's two HT stores yet! I mustered up the courage to ask at my local store. They had received notification of the item coming in and said that it's usually a few weeks later that before they actually see them.

I have seen the new mini wave, though!

I really want a glitter Rarity!

I drove an hour and half away to go to Hot Topic. They had Rarity and Discord. No glitters but they did order me a Daring Do for half off since I got Discord. ;) Rarity will be here in the mail on Wednesday. I can't wait to get her! ^.^

Post by: Midnight_Dream on August 24, 2014, 05:09:19 PM
We should start some sort of Glitter Funko Co-Op where we glitter hunters agree to get every glitter we find & sell it to another person in the group for retail cost.  Even if it's juat a couple of us, it may make getting them easier/less stressful.

On that note, since Discord is sold out online, I grabbed the only two in the store if anyone needs one.   I noticed people are attempting to price fix him at $49.99.  I think we may witness one of those lovely over priced pony bubbles.

Anyway, if anyone needs a regular Discord, I can sell it to you at retail + shipping.   My guess it will be $25 -$30.  I'll also trade him for Glitter Daring Do if you aren't into glitters and just hzppen to have one :)

I am all for a Glitter group. Whether it is trading one for another or selling at retail, I think this is a great idea.

I am stopping by my Hot Topic on Wednesday to search for my grail Glitter Big Mac, so I will keep an eye out for any of the new glitters for those who still need them.

I went on a bit of a road trip today... I visited the four closest Hot Topics and did not come home empty-handed!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


I found Discord at the first Hot Topic. The second was a bust, but the third I found Rarity. And the fourth had Daring Do apparently but she was sold yesterday. So I very nearly got all three today, but I'm happy with these two at least.

Rarity is for AJLareneg (unless she manages to get one either in her order or at her Hot Topic tomorrow), and Discord I'll be saving to trade for something in a future wave since I'm not a huge fan of his glitter...

I also got a show color mystery mini Trixie. I'd love to trade her for show color Twilight, if anyone's interested. :)

Hahah nope! The glitters are pretty but there are only a few I love enough to want to keep. Aside from that, AJLareneg is my best friend, so between the two of us we've got all our favorites anyway (e.g. she has Octavia and Applejack, while I have DJ and Big Mac, etc.). As long as at least one of us has the glitter for a character we both like then that's enough for me.

I have a question I hope isnt stupid LOL! How does the 'ship to store' work? I know they ship your order to HT and you come pick it up but my question is do they ship over a whole case (if i order one) and I pick one out of the case or do I need to order a full case? Im curious if I can order one of each next wave, ship to store, and pick out a glitter from a full case. xD It seems much easier if its done that way!


* Also on a side question, does anyone have SDCC exclusive pop Frozen figures at their HT stores? I wanted the clear Anna and GITD Olaf. If someone spots them lemme know because the BOGO sale is still going on!

I think Glitter Fluttershy is my cutest glitter-  honestly RD looks pretty good too.  Not sure I am loving Rarity's body color, but I'm sure I'll get her when her price dies down a bit. 

People are just super excited to get her and all the new ponies right now.  You can get glitter Fluttershy for $40 or thereabouts right now, and she used to be wicked expensive.

I haven't seen all the glitters in person, but of the ones I have I love twilight the best, I think.

I just want fluttershy now because I always like to match my rarity things with an equivalent fluttershy thing. I don't know why... so clear rarity means I want a clear fluttershy too. :b

Glitter Rarity is not at all what I was expecting. I was thinking I'd pay anything to get one, but now I think I can pass if she doesn't come in my order of 2.  That's not to say I wouldn't be happy to get one, but I'm not going to intentionally seek her out.

I think my favorite glitters are Fluttershy, Trixie, and Big Mac. So far I have all of the ones I want except Big Mac, I haven't even seen him in person. :/

I think glitter Rarity is neat with her milky color, but I ust don't care for her beyond that.

Honestly, even though I may not like some glitters I want to find one in the wild just to feel all special and lucky. XD

My preorder did not have any glitters, but the guy working at my store says he always thinks of me when they get the funko ponies in, and he said he'd call if  they got their store order in and he'd let me trade from my order for the glitters if they have any. :3

He said they don't normally do that...but I guess since I go in there all the time for pony stuff he knows. Right now I'm still hanging out in the mall in case they find them. It'd make sense for them to have their order today too, I think. Plus I don't want to drive home and back again just in case. :b

Same thing just happened to me! My bf just called because I told him to go to Hot Topic again. When he went on Friday he got a glitter Discord for me but the girl said that they didn't get Daring Do in and said that they would probably get them Monday. He went in there today and the guy working knows us and whenever he sees glitters he holds them for me. My bf grabbed a regular Daring Do and the guy working said "Hey I have something for you!" My bf was like what? For me? He goes out back and brings up a glitter Daring Do!!!! Apparently what happen was Friday they did get Daring Do in but didn't realize it until they unpacked everything. So, the girl from Friday held her since Friday knowing that my bf was going to be back in! THEY ARE AMAZING EMPLOYEES! Also, the guy working was talking to my bf about collections. He wants to see pictures next time we are in there of my collection. And, he apparently he has a friend that he was going to help unload her 80's My Little Pony Collection she is getting rid of some things! He is going to give me a call when she is ready to do it so I can have first dibs on things she is getting rid of! Great pony day!!!! Sorry for the long story just super excited!!!!


Oh and anybody with glitter Daring Do does yours have Chinese symbols on the front of the hat??

Our order arrived today and we got a glittery Rarity! :) I may have to go visit the local Hot Topic and see what they have.

My preorder did not have any glitters, but the guy working at my store says he always thinks of me when they get the funko ponies in, and he said he'd call if  they got their store order in and he'd let me trade from my order for the glitters if they have any. :3

He said they don't normally do that...but I guess since I go in there all the time for pony stuff he knows. Right now I'm still hanging out in the mall in case they find them. It'd make sense for them to have their order today too, I think. Plus I don't want to drive home and back again just in case. :b

Same thing just happened to me! My bf just called because I told him to go to Hot Topic again. When he went on Friday he got a glitter Discord for me but the girl said that they didn't get Daring Do in and said that they would probably get them Monday. He went in there today and the guy working knows us and whenever he sees glitters he holds them for me. My bf grabbed a regular Daring Do and the guy working said "Hey I have something for you!" My bf was like what? For me? He goes out back and brings up a glitter Daring Do!!!! Apparently what happen was Friday they did get Daring Do in but didn't realize it until they unpacked everything. So, the girl from Friday held her since Friday knowing that my bf was going to be back in! THEY ARE AMAZING EMPLOYEES! Also, the guy working was talking to my bf about collections. He wants to see pictures next time we are in there of my collection. And, he apparently he has a friend that he was going to help unload her 80's My Little Pony Collection she is getting rid of some things! He is going to give me a call when she is ready to do it so I can have first dibs on things she is getting rid of! Great pony day!!!! Sorry for the long story just super excited!!!!


Oh and anybody with glitter Daring Do does yours have Chinese symbols on the front of the hat??

congrats and good luck!

I am trying to wait until Friday to go to Hot Topic in search of Rarity/Discord. Is their BOGO deal still going to be on by then? Heh, part of me wished I pre-ordered them. xD

I haven't seen glitter Daring Do yet, but I admit i am not really keen on glitter Discord and Rarity. Especially the latter, but maybe she is one of those glitters that look better in person to me?

Unfortunetly my HT still has Twilight/Trixie and Big Mac / AJ. I managed to score my second glitter AJ (she's for trade or sale here) and I got 2 Daring Doos and a black Twilight Funko Minis for trade/sale, too, if anyone wants them.

My husband went to Hot Topic to look for sparkly Funkos for me today. He found a sparkly Daring Do, but didn't buy it since he didn't think I wanted that one. I went after work to see if it was still there, but of course it was gone! :(

Sniffle. I asked, and it sounds like that's the only sparkly one they got in this batch. I was hoping to have something to trade for sparkly Rarity, too!

My HT store still doesnt have the new ones in yet!!! My husband keeps telling me everyone in the collecting mlp community (including me) needs to STOP bugging HT over 'd*mn glitter ponies' because he thinks it pisses the employees off when collectors call for glitters. Firsf off, YEAH RIGHT i will call and check each day and second ummmm, isnt that their JOB to answer the phones ya know since they get paid to do it? I only call once a day anywho. Customers bug me at work ALLLL the time you dont see me telling customers to stop shopping! The HT staff doesnt even seem mad about the calls, at least the people at my stores. He just doesnt understand collectors and hes getting tired of me looking for glitters everyweek. Ugh. :'( Its literally the ONE thing that keeps me happy in the city because I can look forward to looking for ponies to distract me from wanting to move back home.

I haven't even asked my HT because most employees are jerks. However, their recent hires seem spot on. I just kind of figured out when they restock and go in in the morning (its in a mall). Luckily, all the kids are in school so I get a pretty good shot at glitters, after a little digging. Found two AJs this way.

Now that I work across the street, I hope I can make friends there and keep a better eye out. Right now, they're clearing out the Twilight/Trixie's and the shelf is full of AJ and Big Mac. Only saw glitters of Aj, though.

I find it incredible that I ordered the SECOND orders were being accepted for these, and am STILL waiting, while even people in say Finland have already received their orders !!!!

I thought FedEx was supposed to be like 2-3 days?  My ponies seem to be taking a slow tour of the states...

****

I have thought very seriously about taking the car in to work so I could call HotTopic during the day, and drive down there if they happen to get a glitter in of any of the new ones. (It's like 30 or so mins away).  But then I'd be paying $20 in parking, which kind of defeats the purpose...

Well I got all my orders in today, out of the tons and tons of ponies, no glitter Raritys, no glitter Daring Dos (even accidentally ordered extras) and 1 glitter Discord, gosh the preordering is almost not worth it anymore, I swear they save the glitters for the stores.

I wouldn't quite say it's BS. After all, isn't the glitter rate a 1/24? It doesn't mean that you are guaranteed a glitter if you order more than 24 of a character - you just have a slim chance of getting a glitter of said character. And to be honest, I don't think it's all that unfair if someone who ends up with a glitter only ordered a couple of Funkos (if not only one of them). Everyone should be able to get a chance of getting a glitter after all, no matter how many or little they ordered. That's just how luck is, unfortunately. I do understand why you are so frustrated about it though Neon, don't get me wrong. 

It could be worse - HT could have actually put a "limit 2 _____ per person" on the Funko MLPs.  :(

(although I do admit that it would be messed up if HT somehow specifically set it to where people who order more than X amount don't get glitters, or they give glitter priority to people who only order a few of them).

I think it is BS. If you purchase 24 and there's a 1/24 chance then by the laws of probability you should receive at least 1 glitter.
in one unopened case of regular size Funkos, 1 will be glitter and 23 will be standard. if you order 24 you should receive 1 full complete unopened case and be guaranteed 1 glitter. if they pick the order from various boxes and you don't get one complete box, then your chances are no longer 1/24 they become 1/48 or how many other boxes they picked from to fill your order.
basic math.

Exactly I believe this is the truth the Trixie/Twilight wave I got 5 glitters from preorders the Aj/Big Mac and the Discord/Rarity/Daring wave I only got 1 total, while ordering enough to get one of each. I think they are trying to discourage people from large orders, the one glitter I got was in a sealed non tampered with factory case, while my other orders where all "repackaged" with no glitters at all in those, I think there is some picking and choosing that goes on in the packing...

Not really. Ordering a large number doesn't guarantee they'll all come from the same box(es) of 24 (or however many are in a box). And it wouldn't surprise me if they are doing what MM said, and that it's likely only a matter of time before they limit the number people can order.

Does anyone have close-up pics of Daring Do? I'm debating getting my friend to bring one over for me when she visits next year. Just a tad concerned that with all those details on her it'll be hard to get one with a half-decent paint job...  -_-

Yes but...how many glitters did you get in your Twilight and Trixie order? Its a little turn and turn about that's all. You have clearly lucked out on previous orders so perhaps the odds were that you were going to miss out on a future one. Its not great if you are buying that many and dont get what you want but at no time is it guaranteed that buying more entitles you to get something someone who only buys 1 gets - thats the nature of a chase figure. If you think its worth the gamble then go for it, but its unfair to moan about someone who perhaps does not have the $$$ to buy 27 ponies but enough $$$ to buy one. Limited availability and the randomness of a chase means every one should be equally entitled to get that glitter.

I think it is BS. If you purchase 24 and there's a 1/24 chance then by the laws of probability you should receive at least 1 glitter.
in one unopened case of regular size Funkos, 1 will be glitter and 23 will be standard. if you order 24 you should receive 1 full complete unopened case and be guaranteed 1 glitter. if they pick the order from various boxes and you don't get one complete box, then your chances are no longer 1/24 they become 1/48 or how many other boxes they picked from to fill your order.

Thats actually not how it works. 1/24 simply means that for every 24 ponies produced 1 of them is a glitter it does not mean that if you buy 24 you are guaranteed a glitter. You could buy 24 and get 2 glitters, you could buy 24 and get 0 glitters - those are still 1 in 24 odds when you consider probability and those are the risks you have to take. Sucks...but true. Odds are the chance of something happening; they are not a guarantee of something happening. And I would not be surprised if there was perhaps a comment about discouraging large orders which are then returned in bulk either - thats a pain for any retailer.

basic math.
I would believe/assume it's the latter when it comes to Hot Topic orders - they pick from various boxes and not just one box at a time. Also have to take into account how many people are working to fufill orders that require/demand various amount of that particular pony, how many cases of said pony are opened up, ect.
Unless I am wrong on this, I don't believe Hot Topic straight up send out full unopened Funko cases to people who ordered 24+ of one particular character. They likely send them out in "pieces"/X amount of pony per box right? If so, you can't 100% expect to get a glitter just because you ordered 24+ of that character.

To me, them saying 1/24 is just them saying in every normal case, 1 of the 24 will be a glitter. It doesn't mean them saying " hey if you order 24 of ____ from us, one will be a glitter!".

Now, if you had ordered that many from Funko themselves directly (or another site like Entertain Earth, Big Bag Toy Store, ect. that will actually send out a full brand new case), they send you a full unopened case, and there wasn't a glitter inside, then that would be messed up.

I hope I'm making (at least some) sense with what I am saying - I know my wording can be off when I am trying to explain something. D:

Yup. The 1/24 (roughly 4%) is calculated by the producers based on how many glitters they produce. Thus, if they make 10000 of a given pony, then 400 are going to be glitters. As to the distribution of those glitters in individual preorders? That is in no way guaranteed based on those odds.

I do think it's probably just luck.  Or the arbitrary nature of whoever is packing the boxes.

Although it would make sense for Hot Topic to stop putting glitters in large orders due to the number of returns of the regular ponies, I think that would probably just be too hard for them to do.

Well I think the reason I got so many on the Twilight/Trixie wave was because I had less orders and larger orders, meaning their were sealed factory cases of 12 and 12 in a 24 box inside thats where most the glitter came from.

I heard they were purposely not sending out as many glitters in preorders anymore because they were trying to discourage larger orders, which is not fair in my opinion.

I understand a lot of it is luck, but what bothers me is I think they are purposely tampering with the big orders, for the record I don't return my ponies.

Post by: hathorcat on August 27, 2014, 03:46:56 PM
Maybe there is a guide on not including glitters, maybe there isnt...either way they are not tampering with big orders. There is absolutely no guarantee on what you get in an order and the retailer is well within its rights to pick and choose how it fulfils an order which has no commitment anyway. The warehouse picker's can put whatever they choose in the truck for an order. Its not that dissimilar to ordering 24 individual blind bags on a retailers website - no guarantee of you getting them all, it could just be 24 random bags selected unfortunately.

If I worked at a Hot Topic, and someone came in with 20-30+ pre-ordered Funko MLPs with the intention of returning them all right then and there, I admit that I would be very upset. Very polite, professional and respectable of course, but upset. ^^; Especially if it ends up taking a long time (and causes a long customer line/back-up in the store) and it somehow messes up with the money in the store/register.

I understand a lot of it is luck, but what bothers me is I think they are purposely tampering with the big orders, for the record I don't return my ponies.
If it's true, the tampering probably wouldn't have happened if people who ordered a bunch of them didn't just return all of their pre-order extras to their HT store. The way I see it, the ones that do that basically are going to mess things up in the future for people who do want to order more than a couple of them, glitters or not. 
It is good that you don't return the ponies you order - I wish more people who do the huge pre-order orders were like that (or at least don't return all of them at one go).

Post by: MoondancerMilkyWay on August 27, 2014, 04:02:40 PM
as an example I know more about the Minis. With every factory sealed box of Funko Minis with HT exclusives, the 1/24 chance ponies in wave 1 - buy a whole case you get all the show accurate color ponies, 1 of each of the regular ponies and I think it was 9 duplicates.
with the series 2, you get exactly what it says on the box, 1 of almost everyone, 2 of I think Trixie, Twilight and Discord (Black) to make up to 17, then 1 out of every single box is a 1/72 chase figure.

I know that directly from experience. Since this is how Funko appears to work their MLP line, I can't imagine that it's so different from their large ones as well. one factory sealed unopened box is going to have 23 regular ponies, and 1 Glitter. if the orders are from more than 1 box then your order becomes 1/48 or 1/72 or however you'd like to work that math.

when it comes to Disney Mystery Minis (which I also bought several boxes of) all bets seem to be off as I have 3 1/24 HT exclusive Ariel figures and I bought one complete case and two mixed incomplete boxes. they also have at least 2 1/144 and a few 1/72 and other 1/24 and 1/12 in a 12 ct box.

Anyways I found the post people are talking about from a Funko Mod I believe...

"The ultimate goal for Hot Topic is for them not to sell the Glitter ponies on their website at all anymore. They are hoping that would stop people from ordering them by bulk. I wish they charged a restocking fee when they were returned. That would help solve the problem. "

Well I think the reason I got so many on the Twilight/Trixie wave was because I had less orders and larger orders, meaning their were sealed factory cases of 12 and 12 in a 24 box inside thats where most the glitter came from.

I heard they were purposely not sending out as many glitters in preorders anymore because they were trying to discourage larger orders, which is not fair in my opinion.

I understand a lot of it is luck, but what bothers me is I think they are purposely tampering with the big orders, for the record I don't return my ponies.
I do not return them either , the only time I returned some were with Pinkie Pie and Lyra .

also, it's easier for any warehouse picker regardless of who the order ships to that when someone orders a case to just grab a case rather than take individuals and put them into a case. I used to work at a warehouse and this was always preferable.

Yea I hear you, it just is mind boggling to think that so many people who order one get a chase glitter their odds are much less than someone who orders 24 right? Thats 24 chances for 4% atleast rather than one chance? Not sure if that makes sense, okay I'll make myself crazy thinking about what happens int he warehouse I give up lol.

How it probably works is this. First they recieved the order of the person who only ordered one. This person was lucky and got the one glitter one in that case. Now let's say the next order that comes in is for 24. They get the rest of the first case, minus the glitter one because that one has already been claimed. That's 23 so that leaves 1 more. There is a 1/24 chance that one will be glitter.

Now let's say the next order that comes in is for 27. They get the rest of the first case, minus the glitter one because that one has already been claimed. That's 23 so that leaves 4 more. There is the same amount of chances that one of those will be glitter as there is if you only purchased 4.

That makes the most sense :)

Yeah unfortunately not everyone is ordering whole cases. And throw into that I don't think there are separate cases for each pony so if you are trying for a glitter Rarity and the only glitters they get in the cases they open are Discord and Daring Do they will just fill it with regular Rarity.

Yea probably but that has to be rotten luck to happen several times in a row for me, I think there is a little more involved then that , I do think they like shipping extra glitters to stores on purpose. Because how is it with two of the ponies I miss out on that single glitter with both of them, extremely unlikely also the same thing happened last wave. It's possible for sure, but highly unlikely. I think it has to do with multiple split orders and getting some ponies per case, rather than ordering all in one order, I think your chances are much greater if you buy all in one order.

Do you think they ship sealed cases to Hot Topic for stock purposes, though?

If that's the case, then it's probable that there is not one glitter in every case. My Hot Topic only got the one glitter this time around, not one for each character. This seems to be par for the course.

Yup, definitely- they've gotten whole cases with no glitters in it. Confirmed.

Since the odds of glitters are 1:24 and there is 12 ponies per case yep its common! Ive seen HT and TRU pull out full cases from the back and open them in front of me with zero glitters. Now I wonder if there are cases with more than one glitter inside!

Edit: As far as the characters go inside the boxes and how HT orders them, my local store always buys 3 cases and the characters of the wave (usually) share a box so there was once 6 pinkies and 6 lyras in a case onetime and at TRU I got to open a case of 6 spitfire/6 bonbon. However I have also seen boxes of just trixie and boxes of just twilight because of box size, since trixies box is bigger. I am not sure how this new wave is divided but its probably 6 rarity/ 6 daring do together sharing a box and discord is probably all by himself with his own 12 since his box size is irregular compared to other releases.

I got the second half of my Hot Topic order today, AJ & Big Macintosh/Discord and Rarity. I was absolutely overjoyed to get a Big Macintosh glitter! But... I'm really not too fussed on the plain Rarity. Oh, man, the quality control on these things is nuts. Discord actually had a splash of yellow paint on the inside of his box, and Rarity looks just awful with scratches and seams and what-have-you. She doesn't even look all that great from a distance, since her white coat is a lot darker/dirtier-looking than the other brushables of her character. I've offered her up for free grabs on my local brony group, that's how unimpressed I am.

(Glitter Big Macintosh, though! My first one! :biggrin: )

This is how 1/24 works, not some crazy conspiracy theory of them taking out your glitters. So you didn't get a glitter in your giant order, but that is the risk you took when ordering that many. There is nothing but luck that goes into it and it just happens that you lucked out, but given all your past luck you shouldn't feel cheated at all.

Besides, don't you HAVE all the current glitters AN? I would be content in your shoes if I were you.

Yeah LOL he does own all the current glitters but he got a lot of those from finding extras and traded them  for ones he doesnt have! He probably wants more right now to save for the next wave incase he cant find glitters in the future. Sometimes even the pros have bad luck during certain waves! That aaand he keeps and eye out for extras  for his friends :D

I guess I was just upset about it yesterday, the last two waves I have been really unlucky with my orders. I do have all the glitters, but I like to upgrade them as well and have one with the best paint job, so it would have been nice to pick out the best one, my Discord is perfect, but I could use a Rarity upgrade..

Not everyone returns them me, houston, etc don't I don't know of anyone who does.

Yes I do have them all lol, but extras are nice because I can upgrade, trade, and when you go through that much money and effort you'd hope you'd get one of each. When I made the orders I didn't have any of them, so if I wouldn't have found them I would have had to buy on ebay, or trade for them.

*blushes*

The last wave I did bulk returns without understanding how their inventory system works.  Thankfully the store I returned them to is the biggest in the area and has sold nearly all of them!

This time around, I was well educated on how things work and found homes for all of the ponies before I ordered :)  (and then I bought more Discords when I went to the store XD)

Still looking for glitter Daring Do, though...

Aha, I'd missed that the case sizes are 12 instead of 24!

My Hot Topic still has a pile of Applejacks and Big Macs on top of all the Rarities, Daring Dos, and Discords they got in, so I doubt they'll get restocked soon. :( At least I got to come out of my shell this time and actually ask about them, though! Now they know that I like me some shiny ponies.  :P

Got lucky, one of each Discord and Rarity glitters in our order! Not interested in the Glitter Daring Do, so quite content. I do not normally return the extras, either, but on the Big Mac order, two pf the boxes were badly damaged. They would not take them back in the store because of the bulk returns that were happening. The clerk tried to ring them up, but the computer apparently has them blocked for returns. They said this was an order from higher up in HT somewhere. So, I now have two Big Macs in damaged boxes (in addition to the ones in undamaged boxes I'm keeping to sell or trade). :-/ I could mail them back for a refund, but that would mean eating the cost of the shipping. But, Meh, I figure there are others like me who prefer to display them out of the boxes and don't mind a nick or two in the box. :) they will eventually find a home.

I prefer show accurate regular ones of course, but nice to have the crystal empire ponies as well :) It's the rare chase aspect which is why its what we talk about the most on these threads I think. Funko is brilliant I hope they continue to keep making more ponies and characters they do the best job!

I like the glitters, but for some of the ponies, I do think their normal versions look better than their glitter version. For example, I don't like Discord's or Octavia's glitter variant.

I think if they didn't make glitters a chase figure, and had it like where you could regularly buy them, people wouldn't want them so badly. But people do want the regular versions, no worries on that. I remember when the Dr. Hooves and FS wave came out, one site I was looking at had people getting upset they got the glitter variants and wanted to trade for the show accurate ones.

Any west coast stores got the ponies in yet? Wondering if this wave is skipping my store. It should have arrived by now if it shipped by the street date. It's not like my store can't sell the vinyl ponies. There is just 1 big Mac and 1 trixie left. They usually get in 24 of each, too.

I'm gonna be hitting up the Universal Studios Citywalk Hot Topic today so we'll see what happens there. I haven't been checking lately. I know it took going out to Santa Monica to find my Applejack.

Sometimes I feel like all everyone wants anymore is JUST the glitters. I guess Funko knew what would make money, but jeez.
I always get both the glitter and normal versions. I really only buy the Funkos that fit in with my armies or are my favorite characters.

According to employees at 2 of my local stores, only 1 store in the whole district got any of the new wave so far and that store, which is about an hour drive away from me, only got Rarity.
I've still been calling at least 1 store nearly every day. I wish I at least had an estimate for when they'd arrive.

I don't understand why my store wouldn't get them. They always sell all the previous waves no problem. Maybe 1 or 2 stragglers from previous waves but not tons. The oldest one they have is the one trixie.

I'm seeing them mostly on the East Coast at the moment, if the ebay listings are anything to go by. Almost all of them, especially glitters, are located on the East Coast.

I like to get glitters if I find them as I prefer their look and don't collect normal colors.

Ugh.. the odds still aren't any better for Bon Bon... I wish TRU would get her glitter. I don't have any small shops nearby and none of my friends could find one for me. She's the only one I wanted. :/ Although, Rarity is stunning. I wouldn't mind finding her, but I'm not paying $100 for a glitter that's $18 at the store.

Planning on going to the mall tomorrow.....not sure if they have been spotted in NC yet but I guess I will find out. I still would rather find a Big Mac glitter but if I find one of the new ones I will try to trade. That is my hope :biggrin: I wouldn't be surprised if they had nothing new though...it took forever for Big Mac and AJ to show up.

I can confirm all HT syores in DFW dont have this new wave in stock :( I think some people in Houston are having problems finding them too! Did HT forget about Texss or somethibg?

I think this time around they must have decided to put them in the east coast stores first since a lot of people always say west coast gets them first

I was very surprised to find them at my HT today. Big Mac and AJ were incredibly late in showing up so I wasn't expecting to see them. Unfortunately I was still too late. No glitters. Looked like they had already been picked over a bit. :( Oh well.......the hunt continues. I didn't get any today......don't have the money to get things I only kind-of-like at the moment. I enjoyed browsing though!

I'm in the Webster area and our HT always is a month behind after people first start spotting the new wave. I'm just surprised at how much surplus of AJ and Big Mac there are on our shelves... I had found 2 glitter AJs at the same location, once when the wave first showed up and once this past weekend.

I live in the Houston area, and we often tend to get things first (or within like a week of other places getting it) when it comes to certain stuff. It was like that with a good chunk of Monster High dolls, and quite a bit of the MLP stuff. My HT got in the Wave 2 Funko Minis surprisingly quick (but have since sold out).

Managed to get Glitter Discord and Glitter Rarity. Really greatful to the closest HT's manager for being so amazing and calling me the moment she got them out of the box.

I've also kept tabs on the other local HT's, and are shocked at how fast their glitters have sold, the other HT's are always slower than the one closest to me, and have had glitters sit on the shelves for days. Never sold out on the first day. Luckily two of them didn't get Daring Do in yet, some I'm hoping it means possible Glitter Do.

Also bought two boxes of the mystery figures, darnit I'm still two figures short of the entire set not counting the transparent Discord which is a whole other hassle on it's own.

If anyone has a Glitter Daring Do or AJ, hit me up.

I had hit the Arcadia, Brea, Glendale and Burbank HT's before I left Cali on Monday. Spoke with several employees and most came to the conclusion that the west coast has been getting things last. Their stocks where actually worse than stocks Puerto Rico's HT's have which shocked me considering we're a dinky little island.

That's really odd considering last wave SoCal got them a week before the street date and was the first to get them on the shelf... and now they're super far behind. I don't want to keep calling my store asking because I feel like I'm being annoying. :(

I'm finding myself in a similar situation with my search for Glitter Do. I called all and visited most HT's on the island today. And might be forced to call in tomorrow yet again. I don't want to seem annoying...but I really don't trust most of the HT's here.

OMG I'm so happy- they still aren't at my store, but I managed to get a glitter Rarity from a dear friend today :)

Sorry, I just had to share because she's really the only glitter I ever REALLY wanted.

Since I work in the mall though, I'll continue to keep an eye out.

Glitter Rarity is to die for  :lovey:
Been following this thread living vicariously through you guys (:
If anyone happens to find an extra and wants to sell her, please let me know!! I would be eternally grateful  :good:
I have an address in the states to ship to.
We only get the normal Funko Vinyls here in Singapore, and even then we don't get all of them,
and they're like $50 and up for normal ponies  :sad:

Thanks! I would say they are in fair condition, although Pinkie Pie's tail seems loose. Rainbow dash is a little bent with minor paint errors on her tail but other than that they are great! They do have the mlp stamp on their hoof. I have no idea why they didnt release them!!!!  I feel like they wete supposed to be in the case of 12 for wave 2.....

No problem, I got them off ebay for $9 each! I searched 'glow in the dark funko' and they came up! :) the seller was junjie or something like that....

 I held them for a second time just now and snapped some pics of them to kind of review them for everyone. When I got them I just took at picture and stuck em on my shelf LOL. So now im actually taking a good look at them, they were not as fair quality as I thought and I apologize. I really think these are rushed prototypes, not the fishished product. Especially with the hair!

The hair on RD is not matte or finely painted, the hair mold is yellow with sloppy rainbow designs painted on. However the body is pretty good! Rainbow Dash's eyes and cutie mark are pretty awesome quality and the funko stamp is printed on. The CM is on both sides and portortional. The hair and tail are all sticky ugh... I plan on repainting her later! The paintjob is sloppier than I remember seeing yesterday. UGH aaand I must have been tired as HECK yesterday because I never noticed that dark blue splat on RD's mane! D: the hoorrrooor! Yep. Shes definitly getting a repaint! Im questioning if a GITD rainbow dash was in the works and they used spare Muffin's hair to experiment on! I dont think shes a bootleg or custom.

Pinkie is honestly pretty great, her hair is a little matte but her tail is pretty loose. The mane/tail are duller than the final releases that we have seen. Her CM and eyes are fine, porortional, and she also has the stamp on her hoof. However mine has a little rough part on her ear where she would twist out of the plastic mold. I especially dont think she is a custom or bootleg. :-) Im happy I bought her!

Sure thing Sprinkle not sure if you saw my video on them? Otherwise I can post pics basically Pinkie is perfect besides being kinda bent/slanted over to one side. My Rainbow Dash also has a little bit of a sloppy paint job, but the blue is consistent and dark, mine has no red on the tail though, where the red is on your is purple on mine, and one side of her lower mane sticks out!

My GitD Pinkie and Rainbow Dash are actually in much better condition than their black bodied counterparts from the first mystery minis series.  It's weird.  :huh:

My mystery mini RD had a very loose tail (that eventually broke off when my fiance accidentally knocked her over) but the tails are very sturdy on these mysterious GitD ones.

Am I the only one who finds it odd that they didn't include GitD figures in this series?  And that they gave us yet another variant with the mini crystal Discord?

That's so crazy that so many places haven't gotten the new ponies yet.  I was shocked that my local Hot Topic had them on the shelves when I went to pick up my pre-order.  That's never happened before, because usually we here on the east coast are the last to get them.  I hope they show up for you guys soon!

Also, two of the Hot Topic's near me doesn't have Daring Do, but they have Rarity and Discord.  I find that really odd.  Especially since the one closest to me actually does have all 3 of the new figures.

That's so crazy that so many places haven't gotten the new ponies yet.  I was shocked that my local Hot Topic had them on the shelves when I went to pick up my pre-order.  That's never happened before, because usually we here on the east coast are the last to get them.  I hope they show up for you guys soon!

Also, two of the Hot Topic's near me doesn't have Daring Do, but they have Rarity and Discord.  I find that really odd.  Especially since the one closest to me actually does have all 3 of the new figures.

Omg first offf  hi!!! :D *waves*

It seems a lot of people along the new england coast has gotten them in, and the rest of the US hasnt? This is so strange!  We do have series 2 of the minis however. Does anyone think the rest of the US not getting in the new wave have something to do with Discord not being availible online? Maybe they sold out entirley and are producing more before distributing them to the rest of the US?

No sign at my store yet either. I can't imagine an entire half of the country not getting any in, but I guess it can't be ruled out entirely. Is there any way to ask funko or corporate hot topic or something?

Hiiiii Lala!  :deathhug:

Maybe they got more preorders than ever!  I dunno though, it's still really weird.  We've had the new figures here in western PA for at least two weeks now.

I've only seen the series 2 mystery minis at two of the Hot Topic's that I frequent.  The other 4 didn't have them at all, so I thought that was weird too.

Distribution seems to be crazy with this wave - my store got the new Minis in that first weekend they were out, but still no sign of the the new big Funkos. I'm trying to wait until tomorrow to go to my HT, but I am curious if they got anymore in finally.

I wouldnt be surprised if there were a ton of pre-orders this wave, due to glitter-hunting. Same thing happened with AJ and BMac. xD

I hope this means that they're just having an issue this time around, and it won't impact future releases.
Personally, I hope they continue doing them in groups of 3.

AGREED X100 we have 4 months left this year we should get a november/december release. I would love a Shining Armor, Cadence and Chrysalis wave. Or if they do two regulars with one big I hope for Soarin, Cloudchaser and Luna or Flitter, Thunderlane and Celestia :P

Right could that wave be any more fitting I just would explode of happiness for an accurate Chrysalis. A third that makes sense with Celestia and Luna tho... hmmm.. NIGHTMARE MOON!

Then the series 3 minis could all be larger characters!

sad pony.
and they did have minis, but the box had been tampered with so no go.
in other related news, I have 5 Discord, 5 Rarity and 4 Daring Do Full Size for sale (plus a case of series 2 minis and several series 1 and a bunch of Disney Minis. Who needs 3 Ariels? anyone? anyone? Bueller?)

would just like to sell quickly because they are in my car as I have no room in my house. :D

Gosh if the next wave had Celestia/Cadance/Luna/Chrysalis, I would pre-order in a heartbeat! Especially if the Hot Cash codes were available during that time. <3

I'd love to see how they would look as glitters, especially Luna.

I honestly don't think they could do Nightmare Moon, not with her hair being...not really even hair. The plastic would have to be thinner to get it right and that would make her prone to breaking during shipping, and her box would have to be HUGE in order to accommodate it. I could see them maaaybe doing her as an exclusive figure, but not on a mass release like the rest it would just be too expensive.

Of course they did make a Sharknado POP figure, so what do I know?

They can do it, they did Discord they can do anything, her mane would just be glitter and translucent more than likely, also they are making Celestia and she is the same size as Nightmare.

I'm on the “Funko can do anything" bandwagon.  I definitely think they'd do justice to the more detailed characters.  They did an amazing job with Discord.

As long as Chrysalis has swiss cheese legs. I need an accurate figure of her, she's my favorite!

I'm going to be checking out a Hot Topic tomorrow that's normally out of the way for me, and hopefully I'll find a glitter Daring Do so I can be done with this wave.

My store has them in but they all think that glitters are special order items. They have never seen one in the store itself. So they say. I'm inclined to believe the employee who said that because she seemed quite unaware of the odds. I think my store is just unlucky. 

I'm more a fan of the glitters than the normal colors so I might just get them from ebay from now on. Or if anyone has extras for sale.

I have a glittery Lyra available if anyone is looking.

I guess I should rephrase what I meant...
They gave us Discord, so I believe that they can give us characters that we wouldn't see otherwise.  So not literally anything, but definitely more than what other toy making companies can/will.

[unnecessary comment removed ~ hathorcat]

Funko has given us some pretty awesome and accurate figures so there's no reason to think they wouldn't do a great job with Celestia, Cadence, Nightmare Moon/Luna, Shining Armor, Chrysalis, etc.
I look forward to them hopefully giving us what we are looking for that others can't seem to deliver on! Though the ponies may have similar poses, the details are right so I don't think they will just make one Princess mold for all.

Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on September 08, 2014, 10:02:28 AM
I'm also hoping for more POP! figures, so that I can start collecting the pony ones again.
It's really odd that there's no metallic Fluttershy yet, but all of the others have metallic versions.
Or the fact that there's not AJ or Rarity at all.
But I much prefer the regular vinyls when it comes to ponies, so I hope we don't see an end to those any time soon.

If we could get at least one of the princesses before this year is over, I'll be extremely happy!  :)
Queen Chrysalis is my ultimate dream figure from Funko, but I don't think that'll happen any time soon.  There are still lots of other characters to work on first.
But I can only imagine what her glitter chase would be like... a girl can dream...

I am enjoying Funko's work, the fact that they are a small company making what is technically merch, rather than ponies, maybe gives them a little more artistic freedom.  Can't wait to see what they come up with next, although I'll admit I am getting a little tired of the same standing pose too.

They did an amazing job with Discord...

Didn't get any glitters in my lot from Hot Topic, I will admit there are so many Funkos now I am not quite as keen on getting every variation anymore anyway, but if an inexpensive glitter comes my way, I won't say no :D

I am honestly happier with Funko's work over Hasbros. Funko is amazing!! Better show accuracy and quality than what Hasbro could ever do! :-) I think they might do Celestia and Luna maybe soon! I would still die over a Cadance!! I  would LOVE to see some princesses soooooon since we are done with the mane 6! Maybe Sunset Shimmer is on the list!? So many possibilities!

Post by: Rainbowrific Renia on September 08, 2014, 12:49:59 PM
I agree on the variation front.

At the same time, Funko doesn't make other vinyl figures like the pony ones.  They're already pretty unique for the company, since they mostly seem to focus on their POP! figures.  I'm sure once we get bigger ponies, we'll see different poses, even if they're just slight.

I really like the Funko ponies but i disagree with the quality thing. I don't own a single Funko pony that doesn't have some kind of messed up paint or glue sticking to them. Even my Glitter Dj pon-3 has black marks inside her legs.
I find it sad that people actually have to order several of them just to get a decent looking one.

As far as quality control goes, I guess I have gotten lucky with my figures since they all seem to look pretty good whenever I take them out of their box.

Agreed. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask that, especially the ponies with extremely simple designs, at least have no glaring paint flaws, nor to expect what is marketed as a collector's item not be covered in glue, scratches, and/or dirt MIB. They're not cheap, especially if you live outside the US, and there are other toys and figures that you can pick up for around the same price or cheaper that do not have these sorts of problems (heck, the Mystery Minis are near flawless!). I do like the Funkos, but I think I'll stick to the Minis unless their QC really picks up.

ACK!  That's crazy.  There are still places around here that don't have Daring Do, but they have all the others. 

I'm with you on that one, I've been pretty lucky with mine.  There may be some minor problems with a few of the figures, but nothing too noticeable.  Nothing worth complaining about anyway.

I think my biggest issue is that the first few waves of ponies don't have cutie marks on both sides.  It's not a huge deal, but I wonder why they didn't do them on both sides from the beginning?
Title: Re: Funko Vinyl Collectibles Thread II (Rarity/Discord/Daring Do Now Shipping)
Post by: Aquatic Neon on September 08, 2014, 02:10:21 PM
From my understanding when I asked about the poses situation they responded they wanted the intail releases in the same pose and later down the road they might do other poses, Daring Do has folded wings thats another pose, Discord has two poses, both boys have their own molds, I'm sure we will start to see more poses, but honestly I like the pose they are in the best right now you can display them either way then, sitting poses would be cool maybe, but I'm not really interested in head turns that limits display. If you think about it each character has their own unique parts all the hair, clothing, eyes, etc. Honestly is a raised leg really going to make them any different? The exact response on the poses was.

"Maybe in the future, but we're going with the same formatting for all of these initial releases"

I think my biggest issue is that the first few waves of ponies don't have cutie marks on both sides.  It's not a huge deal, but I wonder why they didn't do them on both sides from the beginning?

Because Funko had to wait for the okay from Hasbro to do so, they wanted to in the beginning, but did not have the okay. Same reason we don't have a unicorn Twilight, Funko wanted to make a variant of her, Hasbro wouldn't allow it. Here is the response.

"It will be her as Princess Twilight with her wings and all.  Hasbro wouldn't let us do a version without her wings unfortunately. "

I find it so crazy she told me that, especially since this is the same HT that i got the Series 2 Minis (and they had received another box of them a few days ago). It kinda has me wondering if it's not just my store but maybe the whole HT company in general as far as if/when the new big Funkos will be in more stores (if that makes sense).

I didn't even notice about the first ones only have one cutie mark.  Heh, maybe i should check my Funkos and see if they have one cutie marks or two. xD

My Rainbow Dash, :muffin:, Fluttershy, Doctor Hooves, Lyra, Bon Bon, and Pinkie Pie all have one cutie mark, and since Fluttershy's box was facing the opposite way, her cutie mark isn't on the same side as the others.  Spitfire just has one logo on the side of her uniform as well.

I also have :muffin: with just five bubbles as a cutie mark and not seven, and my Rainbow Dash has the wrong colored eyes (purple, not pink).

I've noticed that most people out west haven't seen the newer Funko ponies and Discord in stores, but around here we've had them since a few days after their projected release date.  When I had gone in to pick up my pre-order, they had Rarity, Daring Do and Discord sitting on the shelves already, and within the next few days, the other HT's around me had them in stock as well.  There are two or three HT's that don't have Daring Do, though.

I have been disappointed by the selection in DFW lately, so I have been doing the website orders & hoping for the best.

...unfortunately, website ordering means I also strike out a lot. hahaha

OMG you live sooo close to me! Yay!! You might have seen me run around Fairview TRU in pajamas LOL!!!

I have a question. Does Funko make an additional prints for their figures? For example, do they restock the 1st wave (:muffin: Pony and RD) when they running low on them, or once the figures are ended, they won't be made anymore?

So far no, no re releases on any other ponies besides RD and :muffin: Pony that were made twice but even them are not identical.

I called the two Hot Topics that didn't have Daring Do and neither of them have her yet, but they've had Discord and Rarity for two weeks now.  I'm hoping at least one of them will have a glitter Daring Do when they get her in stock, since she's all I'm missing from this wave.

What I'm picking up is that there's a rarity of Hot Topics actually getting all 3 of the new figures.  Weird.

Well it's because Discord sold out on the site so quickly with preorders, and I think they are testing Daring out at not as many locations. Hard to say if all stores will get all three, because it seems they ship them once and thats it until next wave.

I figured that's what was up.

At the very least, at least the figures are starting to pop up in more places, even if it isn't all 3 at the same time.

Found my first glitter in the wild! Snagged a Rarity as fast as I could. She's really pretty but I'd much rather have glitter Daring Do so up for trade she goes. The store didn't even have a regular Daring Do. With the amount of people looking for her finding one is gonna be tough.

Good luck!  Of this current wave, glitter Rarity was the only one I found in-store.  I got glitter Discord with my pre-order, and now I'm hoping I can find a glitter Daring Do somewhere.  She's a tough one to find!

Muahha we are bad... :P Well sometimes to get them all you got to pay the premium prices, or put lots of time money and effort to get them, well great one to start with she is awesome! Hey everyone has there limits though mine is defiantly funko prototypes I want nothing to do with those, those are triple the price of glitters or more maybe in some cases, no thanks.

I wasn't even concerned with getting the glitters until I got a glitter Octavia in my pre-order whenever she and Vinyl Scratch were released.  Then I found a relatively cheap glitter Vinyl Scratch and it was all downhill from there.  :yikes:

Now I just need two more glitters to be caught up. If you do decide you want to collect more glitters, make sure to set a limit for yourself price-wise!  There are prices I just flat out refuse to pay for these things, and waiting is usually best.

Good luck if you're looking for Daring Do or Discord because they're still sold out online.

This is why I'm glad I pre-ordered them the last time Hot Cash was usable.  I didn't think they'd actually sell out, though!

I'm not surprised they sold out I'm surprised Daring sold out before Rarity?! Big Mac and Rarity are almost sold out and probably won't last long guys!

Yeah, looks like AJ is going to be the only pony Funko figure left on the site soon!

What are the chances we'll see new Funko figures pop up in time for this round of Hot Cash?  I know we haven't seen prototypes for anything new yet, but a part of me is reeeeaaallyyyy hoping we'll see at least one more wave of figures before the year is up!  So maybe not this time around, but who knows?!

At the same time, I want to get my hands on a glitter Daring Do before another wave of ponies arrives.  That way I'll be (almost) caught up.  :lol:

Yea AJ will be the last one, I really hope we get new figures up for preorder, but it almost seems a bit too soon? Houston is good at knowing this stuff, I wonder what he thinks? Is this the last Hot Cash of the year, since we know the ponies always come up during Hot Cash, or will there be more? And you know we never saw the prototypes of Trixie and Twilight before we saw them up for preorder, so we have a chance this time around!

I was *super* lucky with my Rarity package - it included *2* glitter Rarity ponies! I have *never* gotten a glitter in all of the Funkos from HT, so it was a super duper cool surprise. After I danced around the living room, my husband joked that I am gonna hoard all the glitters.

I didn't have the heart to tell him I already want to :P

I hope for the new pre-order round, it will be at least one of the Princesses/Chrysalis. I totally would order two of each with a Hot Cash code.
Otherwise, i cant think who else they would release at this point, save for maybe Cheerilee, the Mayor, Zecora....wow, I wanna see a clear glitter Zecora now!


My search for (big) Discord is over: peeked into my Hot Topic today, saw they had two Discords at the front, something told me to look further back into the store, and I saw they had four other Discords on the other side of the register area (near their clearance/records/jewelry area), with one of them being a glitter. I threw a master ball at itbought it after being in shock for a few moments. ^^;
So I guess my store only got in a box of six of them? Unless they had more in the back. They still have a lot of AJs and BMacs, which frustrates me. xD

Last Year there was no more hot cash sales after  DJ and Octavia were released , but this year we heard about a Target Funko release :)  But with the next Hot Cash sale , we will be surpassing the number of such sales the year before ,so I would love if they surprise us with more releases :)  The rest of the Princesses and SA would be a nice way to close the year :)

I am still missing glitters of AJ, BM, Daring, Rarity, and Discord. Then I still need sdcc Spitfire and DJ. Ahhhh im soooooo behind! How could this happen lol im lazy or somethin! :freak:

I hope to see the Target Funkos soooon! I wonderif it will be a wild rainbow theme!? I am sad because eh.... Hot Cash to be spent and no Funkos. I agree, it feels too soon for them to release more this time but I hope they surprise us! One can hope....

You are so lucky to have a store like that I wish I did, anyways good luck on catching up!

As for the Target exclusives they will not be wild rainbow, that is a Hasbro line. As far as I know it's not a for sure thing yet, but I heard that it was going to be a black Rainbow Dash ugh. #boring

Thanks!  If you happen to see another Spitfire at your comic book store, Lala... well, you know.  I would totally buy it off of you.  ;)

On the topic of new figures: Oh wait so... if it's a black Rainbow Dash, then it'll be like the SDCC exclusives from this year?

Okay, I love Funko.  I do.  I own a ton of POP! figures and I love my pony vinyls.  That said: It was already severely disappointing that the SDCC exclusives were just regular sized versions of the Mystery Minis, which are already just small versions of the regular sized figures except with black bodies.  See what I'm saying here?  It's really silly when you think about it.

I had honestly hoped they would continue just doing regulars and glitters, and leave the black bodies to the Mystery Minis, but then they went ahead and introduced yet another variant for the MM's with crystal Discord.  I'm at least glad that one of the ponies didn't get that variant, but is Discord going to be the only one or will they make more for future MM releases? 

I dunno, maybe I'm the only one slightly frustrated with their variants...

Glitter Bon Bon and glitter Spitfire would've been GREAT as SDCC exclusives this year, instead of (apparently) only being shipped to comic book shops from the sounds of it.  Having new variants of the regular vinyls is just... UGH! Basically, what I'm saying is, the regular sized black bodied Funko figures should never have been a thing. /rantoversorry

^ LOL you said MMs as in mystery minis but I took it as M&Ms and now I want some! xD

That comic book store is awesome, but they sell the glitters $50+. Ergg they even go to the HT down the road on their break to hunt for glitters as well! I hope I can head out there today. Id really like to go and catch up in the comics!

LOL im retarded for not realizing Wild Rainbow was Hasbro xD wow! *facepalm* though it would be awesome if they made anything else besides the shadow ponies in regular size. I like the Rainbow Dash shadow bit I dont want it in regular! How AWESOME would it be if it was a Princess!?

Im also a huge fan of Funko! I have all the POP! vinyls, all the cupcakes, both tins and erasers, all of the regular size vinyls except sdcc 2014 this year, most the glitters, and half of the minis. I hope Funko keeps making ponies! :-) I love Funko in general, I also have some Jack Skellington, HTTYD, and Frozen Fuko POP!s.  I wonder if they will come up with another adorable collection? Id love me some princesses!!!!

Haha! I have some pumpkin spice M&Ms with me right now at work.  They aren't very pumpkin-y, which is good since I don't like the flavor when it's overwhelming.  They're yummy!

Yeah, like I said, I love Funko too.  If I had the room, I'm sure I'd have a wall of POP!s like other collectors I've seen.  They are so many that I want but I want to wait until we move into a house and have more space.  I just wish we weren't getting regular sized black bodied figures of the ponies.  -_-

$50 is usually my limit when buying glitters, although I made an exception for Bon Bon since she was so hard to find.  I'll also make an exception for Spitfire.  All the other ones I have have been $50 or less, and I know I got glitter Discord, Rarity, Octavia, Trixie, Twilight, Big Mac, and AJ at regular Hot Topic prices. :)  So really it was just Fluttershy, DJ Pon-3, Lyra, Doctor Hooves, and Pinkie that I paid more for.  All less than $50 though, hence why that's my limit.

Peanut won LOL! Its a shame they dont taste very pumpkin-ish, but I had the coconut ones before and I remember them tasting no different than the regular milk chocolate.

Back on subject, LOL, I went to the comic book store and got caught up in the mlp comics! I have sooo many comics to read! As far as glitter Funkos, they had only had these left:

I have so many comics to catch up on.  The last two Friends Forever comics, included.  They've been piling up on my couch for about a month now so that's like... 25 comics I have to read.

Oh yeah, the Vocaloid POP!s are brand new, I believe.  I wanna get the new DragonBall Z ones but like I said before, I barely have room for my things now.  Next year though!  Next year we'll be in a house and I'll have more room to display stuff!

I'm going to do another round of calling the Hot Topic's around here and seeing if any of them have glitters.  Daring Do for myself and Rarity for my friend.  Or even one of the other glitters to use as trading fodder.

Is it still only Ebay and small comic book stores for glitter bon bon and spitfire??

No- I'm positive that glitter Spitfire (and probably Bon Bon) have been found at TRU now.  Somewhere back in this thread...
I completely forgot about TRU possibly having them, but then again...the TRU's that I frequent hardly ever have Funko figures anymore.

Thanks marigold!  I sent yours yesterday and sent you the info.  I am also still looking for rarity.  Hoping I can trade my extra glitter discord for her.

That is opposite from my TRU - mine have been flooded with Spitfire/BonBon/Octavia/DJ funkos and basically shelf-sit for months. :( I think even the one Walmart in my city that sells the Funkos sell more of them than TRU.

And I hear ya about the whole variant issue with the Funkos. For the Wave 2 minis, I wished they had done something different besides make a clear Discord (I still think it would have been neat if instead of a crystal Discord, it was a "stone/marble/statue" Discord - like he got turned to stone again).

I just called before and asked them what to do because I had 10 hot cash (or some other insane number) and they gave me a code for the $75 off $150 and said to call back after I placed my order and they would take the rest off. I dont think they have a way to verify your hot cash, they just hand out codes like candy.

Cute sig, Lala!  Congrats on your anniversary!

I almost never get Hot Cash in the store anymore because I honestly don't buy much outside of the Funko figures from Hot Topic.  I might get a shirt here or there, but that's about it.  Plus a quick Google search will help with finding the higher codes.  Hot Topic really does give them out like candy, so I guess people see no difference with putting them online.  :shrug:  Plus, earlier this year, whenever I would try and use the codes on the site that I got from the store, they NEVER worked.  It was really frustrating.

FINALLY I found Rarity. Apparently my nearest store got her and Discord in 2 days ago. Of course I was out of town last week so I feel I've lost any chance at glitters locally :( and no way I'm paying what they are going for on ebay right now. What the heck is going on with this wave!? This is a month after the street date and still no Daring Do at my 2 nearest stores.

This is the only wave I haven't pre-ordered besides the Fluttershy/Dr. Whooves wave (because I wanted to be sure to get a green tie Dr.). I'm now regretting a bit but I want to pick out Daring in person because of the more intricate paint and figured I always stalk around my local stores like crazy anyway. *le sigh*

Rarity's figure is so great!

Glitter Rarity has grown on me.  At first I didn't like how she wasn't as clear as the others.  I was really hoping she'd have the same glitter body as DJ Pon-3, but I'm really starting to like hers despite that.

Oh, and the pictures above reminded me... I love this one a whole lot so I want to share!  These are probably my two favorite glitters because I love their colors and they're my favorite background ponies!

Every time I look at Dr. Whooves's glitter,  I get reminded of either Coca-Cola or those Root Beer hard candies. xD I jokingly call him Dr. Cola Hooves.
Also not a fan of glitter Octavia. I feel like they should have used a different "color" for her clearness, or something.

I wonder why they decided to go with a different type of clear body for Rarity? Like I said, it's definitely grown on me, but she does stick out when compared to the others.

Funko may simply not have been as pleased with how the grayish-white DJ turned out and wanted to try something different for Rarity... DJ is a WHITE white pony, and Rarity is white touched with gray... but DJ's clear figure of course looks gray, and so to make it plain for Rarity's gray hue they made her that smokey milky clear variety?

Her glitter does have a slight yellowish tint to it.  I didn't notice that before, but now it makes sense why they would change it so that Rarity looked more white. :nod:

Random question!  Do you think Funko will re-release (I say this because Dashie and :muffin: have been through changes already) the ponies who don't have their cutie marks on both sides?  It isn't a big deal, but it does look silly when you compare them.
I have that small issue with most merch.  Why not put their cutie marks on both sides?!  :mad:

Because you only display the pony so that one side is visible and not both? Some Hasbro made ponies don't have symbols on both sides, so it isn't something that ever bothered me. *Shrug*

I went to HT the other day to pick up the :muffin: Pony plush and I'm pretty irritated. They moved the Funko Vinyls up to a shelf you can't reach and as I was chatting with the surprsingly kind employees (seriously, recently we've had a wave of wonderful workers there) one said in the last shipment they got 1 glitter, a Discord, and an employee bought it for a family member... so, I doubt I'll be finding glitters there anymore.

I'm just tall enough to reach the shelf that I've seen some of the figures on, although there was one Hot Topic that had them on a shelf so high that an employee had to go get a ladder out.  Still, it is pretty irritating.

The Hot Topic I went to today said they had a glitter Daring Do and a glitter Rarity in yesterday, but someone bought them both. I was mentally kicking myself because I need Daring Do for myself and Rarity for a friend!  :yikes:

I'm really surprised at the people trying to sell glitter Daring Do for $75+ on eBay. I looked at the sold listings and it's been a looooong time since she's sold for anywhere near that much.  It's really annoying that sellers don't take notice of these things and lower their prices.

I'm sure mine does this too- the Funko ponies are super high up, you have to ask to get any of them down so you certainly can't check out multiples for glitters, if they even kept glitters up there.

The 2 HT nearest me just started doing this. The pony vinyls are on the freaking ceiling. So stupid.  :enraged: It's embarrassing enough to have to ask them to get one down and wait for them to get a ladder;I'd feel rude asking to look through them for paint flaws/dig for glitters. I asked if there were glitters up there are both stores and they said no but I'm not sure whether to believe it.

I totally agree with you Flitter. My HT has had them up on the high shelf for quite a long time......and it has really discouraged me from even going there. I am a very reserved person and I also find it embarrassing to want to dig through them and search for one with a good paint job.

The worst part is at my HT they don't even get a ladder for them....they just use a big stick to knock them down!!!! :crazy:

Yeah, not sure why they decided to move the pony vinyls up so high where no one can reach them.  I'm a tall girl and I still have to stand on the tips of my toes to see who's up there, then ask an employee if they can get them for me so I can look for glitters.  It's silly.

I just sent a message to HT on fb about this. It's really ridiculous. The only reason I shop at HT anymore is because they get the mlp vinyls first and to have a chance at glitters. I've felt like at one of my stores in particular an employee was taking the glitters (I was told a 'collector' works there and that's why the bbs were all ripped open. "They wanted a certain one." among other things employees have said that made me think that.) and now I'm even more suspicious. I mean, the employees at all the stores I hunt at are really nice but still I don't want to bug them more than I have to.

and then the website glitching , I wanted the minis, had to orders and the got cancelled the next day, I decided I will just get the black ones from other collectors , I found 4 at TRU and 3 were the same pony  LOL
a sign no to mess with that stuff anymore , so I traded the repeats and just bought the rest open already :) and is only 6 new black ones anyway, no discords ,will be selling the discord vinyls,  Hope I can trade the Discord Glitter for a Bon Bon or Spitfire :)

Post by: Alzatia on October 06, 2014, 07:51:04 PM
One should really give no bucks about having the employees getting a ladder and checking the merchandise for you. As long as the customer is polite, there should be no complaints. I work retail, and even when customers see me with food on my hands and need me to pull the ladder to get something down I do it. It's my job, I might be making a sale and I'm most likely going to get a happy customer regardless of finding their item or not. They'll know we're always willing to help and they'll most likely come back to look for something another day.

I've even had employees get up there and check when they've told me no. The fact that they actually bother when I ask regardless is one thing that keeps me coming back to that store.

As to why they do it. It could be because they usually have little space for their collectibles and the ponies aren't their main selling point in the department. It's the POP Funkos. So they push the least selling items to the top.

My fiance called one of our local Hot Topic's yesterday to ask if they had any glitters (specifically Daring Do).  The worker told him to check back with them every other week because they tend to get new shipments of the figures in that time frame.  I'm not sure if this is true for all of them, but I figured I'd share that info.  I know the newest wave of figures tends to sell out quickly at the stores around here, which is probably why they are ordering them so frequently.

Ok...I my subtle hints are not working and I did not want to post this in a live thread...but

...We are not having multiple threads on the same thing bouncing back and forward here. We either have 1 thread where we all talk about Funko or we allow multiple threads in the Corral about new finds.

Lets make this a community decision - if you go for the former everything will be merged into this thread; if you for the latter this is the last big Funko spam thread from now on its individual threads for new announcements. Majority vote will rule.

I probably shouldn't have posted a separate thread, my bad! I just figured since it was a new find that I'd post a thread for everyone to see.  I tried to keep the discussion about that particular find to that thread, though. :( I say merge all of it into this thread so there's one vote for that.

If it was my vote...I like separate threads. New announcements get lost in general spam threads and more people can join in without having their opinions drowned by so many posts. And this one worked when Funko was a smaller entity - there are now more and more announcements and waves it may be too much to have it all in one place. Plus you were not the only one who posted a new thread on the topic - I actually merged another one in to yours. And there are other single Funko threads recently posted by members; the trend for starting new ones is what has me asking this question.

However I think this is one that everyone should have a weigh in on rather than just locking this one at 100 pages and saying "single threads from now on". :)

I'm torn I think either way would be fine, the problem with these big threads is posts get lost very fast, and its hard to keep track of all the news sometimes, although it is nice to have it all in one place if the original post is being updated with the latest news like (Blue Flu Discord & Metallic Rainbow Dash) I don't really know where my vote goes..

Maybe we could have

- A thread for the core line of vinyl figures
- A thread for variants/exclusives
- A thread for POP! figures
- A thread for the Mystery Minis?

Maybe that would corral the discussion without mashing it too together too tightly?

I'm okay with New Products = New Threads myself :)

I think that might just get a little too confusing, plus there will be discussion crossing each other a lot. I'm starting to think new threads for every new release/news.

Yeah, new threads for each new find is okay with me. Now that I think about it, that'll make it easier for more people to see the newest info.

I really like having a big single Funko thread because it really helps me figure out when the glitter variants might be coming to my hometown. It would be harder to gauge it if I had to dig for individual brag threads.

One big thread gets my vote.

I think I prefer separate threads for each release/wave.

I prefer separate threads as well - things tend to get lost in bigger threads like this.

Right further to this thread and a few pms we are going to go with individual threads. DO NOT NOW SPAM THE CORRAL WITH FUNKO :P Because I will use moderator privileges and go back to one single thread if it starts to take over. Remember the Corral is for all generations and all releases. We dont need daily Funko updates...unless its a new item every day :P

I am going to lock this one up as we are actually now discussing the same release here that we have in other threads.
