The thing I don't like about blind bags and blind boxes is the way the companies deliberately make certain characters/variations scarce. I'd be fine with the trend if you had an equal probability of getting any figure. But deliberate scarcity is such a sleazy marketing technique, and I refuse to buy into it. The pricepoint on these types of figures is getting absurd too. I like the Loyal Subjects ponies and I like the Gift 'Em figures, but with ponies being ~$15.00 apiece and unopened Gift 'Ems going for ~$10.00+, I don't see them as being worth buying unless I know what I'm getting, so I only buy ones that are already opened.
I am outraged that the poopsie unicorn surprise are a whopping $60 blind box & its not fair that only one of em has tattoos. That's gonna be the one most wanted I'm quite sure & there's no unique element, like the tattoos, in the remaining 3 so they're just...20% less cool. Speaking of which who are they kidding with the blue one with rainbow hair hahaThe blind box cups & diy slime are superbly done knockoffs of popular brands. My hope is that they make the unicorns & more magical animals in that size. But i still really want to see those big unicorns poo slime!
