Basic Fun 2023 New Releases: Celestials! RaMC Figures! Plushies! Etc!

[tailrustedtealeaf]

Probably a stupid question, but were the Celestials ever found in major US stores or are they still pretty much just Amazon? Was hoping to ask for them for Christmas but getting nervous with all the talk of variants and would really like to see them in person...

I haven't heard of any Celestials in US stores.

Yeah, that's what I figured. :/ It's a shame, they're so cool! Wish I'd just bought them when they first came out but I didn't think amazon could just raise the price like that... ugh.

Anybody selling a Blind Box Spike (like next week)??? I'm still seeking one

[Sarah-Bee]

Has anyone in the UK found the pink stripe Nova yet? Are these now being sent out by Amazon or are people still receiving white stripes? TYIA

[lovesbabysquirmy]

the Milky Way I ordered this week came with pink stripes

That sounds so pretty!

[Taffeta]

So are they all getting a pink makeover? How pink is pink for Milky Way?

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I noticed that (although it's not in stock), plush Applejack is now listed up on Amazon.co.uk. And that's a weird packaging choice, if real...

The Applejack and Twilight plushies were up for preorder on Amazon.ca for a while in the fall, but they were taken down since. They used the same weird pillow bag packaging mock-up picture as what you posted Taffeta! While they were up I checked out the specifications, and they were marked with a March 1 2024 release. Who knows if that’s true, but it would explain why so little has been heard about them outside of the toy show pictures.

I'm hearing elsewhere online that Books A Million has the blind box sets, so if you have one near you go check it out! I'm also hoping that we may see these pop up in the "weird shops" like TJ Maxx or Ross, since that's where I found a couple of the Basic Fun TE ponies! (Only Sweet Stuff, but hey! A win is a win!)

I've also seen the Celestials on the Walmart app, so it's worth a look if Amazon if sold out!

omg that Amazon packaging photo is so weird I bet it's just a mock-up, though why the heck they'd make it look like THAT is anyone's guess

[Barnacle_lady]

I need that plush when it's released

I keep forgetting about BaM, I might swing by mind sometime soon just to see if it has the blind boxes

I found my minis at Books a Million a couple weeks ago.😁

Okay I didn't realize we had them exclusively! Yes I work at BAM and we have them here. I can pick them up at cost + shipping if anyone wants them.

I bought a bunch of them at first, and I got all the regular ponies but neither Spike nor Ember, so I was a little bummed. I decided to go back and hefted the boxes carefully and I bought one that felt heavier than all the rest, and one that felt lighter than the rest, and I got Spike and Ember! So now I have the whole set. Spike is quite a bit heavier than the rest, and Ember is a little lighter.
