I heard they were coming out on the funko forum I belong to as I collect PoPs. The MLP figures are actually not PoPs! but are made by Funko (who makes Wacky Wobblers, PoP!'s and vinyl figures).
Here's a link to an online store who sells Funko products....on this page, the MLP protos are available so far:

Here's the actual Funko website:

i saw $99.00 for rainbow dash and Ditzy Doo , what the..........
cool dash though loven the eyes
I thought she was just a colored version of those "deco" ponies until I compared the two. Wow, she looks much nicer!at least it has 5 colors in the main a in the tail not 3 in the main 2 in the tail
Except nobody can get her hair colors right D:
Dinobuzz: EqD links don't show up here on the forums, unfortunately!
Here's the forum post that the EqD article links to. Cool stuff!

Does this mean....MOLDED FLUTTERSHY, FINALLY?!
PROTOTYPE.
HAND PAINTED.
NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF FINAL PRODUCT.
Does this mean....MOLDED FLUTTERSHY, FINALLY?!I hope so! and Rarity too though I think these these are bigger than the other molded figures.
I wish they wouldn't use that brony name for the yellow haired pegasus. Would it kill them to respect people who are offended by it? Can't people respect others anymore?
Does anyone know exactly what size these are? Are they comparable to the regular Hasbro releases with brushable hair. I really hope they are so they can "play" with the released accessories and playsets. :)someone posted a picture of one next to a fashion style ditzy doo and it was smaller but not by much.
Love these! :) I feel like Funko has definitely been delivering with their acquired franchises as of late, and this is just the icing on the cake as far as getting my attention. I can't wait to see more MLP characters from them.
There's a chain of comic stores around here that typically has an entire section dedicated to Funko products, I'll have to hit a few of them up once they're officially out.
I heard about these several months ago around the time the license was granted by Hasbro to Funko for the product.
For me? I find it weird that Hasbro are licensing out the production of what is essentially a "toy" - all be it a moulded vinyl product. At this point I am missing the days when we got new brushable My Little Pony toys - between these and blind bags. But I guess this item has a completely different target market than the actual MLP line so perhaps its an attempt to cater to as many fans as possible which is a good thing.

Probably the same reason they are having Integrity do the new Jem dolls. They want a company adult collectors are familiar with making them.

Mandy~ have you seen the GoT Funko PoPs pics yet? Series 1 is coming soon and series 2 has already been announced! Deanerys PoP comes with a baby dragon!!
I hope they make all 6 like this.

Honestly, I can relate about fans thinking these are a bit strange in spirit. I also thought it was a bit ironic at first that Hasbro, a toy company first and foremost, is licensing out use of their characters, that basically came about in the first place to push signature line products, to a fellow toy/collectible company. The more I thought about it though, how are the Funko ponies much different than say, the G1 porcelains put out by Extra Special in the 80's?
I wish they wouldn't use that brony name for the yellow haired pegasus. Would it kill them to respect people who are offended by it? Can't people respect others anymore?Hasbro had to have okayed that as a licensor. Even though I think it's taboo, there's a ton of money to be had with that moniker and I think it's a great way for Hasbro to make one without actually making it. Maybe they'll make pimp daddy destro next, lol.
Yeah- I have no problem with Hasbro selling the license to fantastic toy manufacturers- these look great and I bet Hasbro is cleaning up profit-wise.I think HB just shot themselves in the foot big-time. They have the capacity to make these pony themselves, but they license it out to a company with much less presence in the world (seriously, I've never heard of these Funko guys until just now, and have never seen their toys on the shelves ever).
Still, as long as it stops the whining about how toy accuracy...
The only thing I don't like is that they are doing this rather than improve the quality on their regular products because they figure kids don't care about scuffs or smudges or dents.
Oh gosh! They are both in stock on hot topic RIGHT NOW! I just placed an order! :dance:order placed!!! yeaahh!!! thanks :)

btw Ditzy Doo is called Bubbles, so cute! I love that name for her. <3
I most definitely will get Bubbles to go with my SDCC one. :)Hurry and do it now while she's in stock!
I really really wanted Bubbles, but... but the shipping to the UK is $40... that's so... ugh... and she sold out... so fast... crying
Oooooh okay! I'll keep an eye out on their website for it. :3 Thanks!I really really wanted Bubbles, but... but the shipping to the UK is $40... that's so... ugh... and she sold out... so fast... crying
Forbidden Planet carry a lot of Funko in the UK - if they are popular they may very well end up over here yet.

Possibly because people leave her in a cart and don't buy her, then the 'cart' time expires and she goes back in as stock.

Can't be this. I had her in my cart, Paypal was being cranky, I had to make my shipping arrangements, I click on place order button:
"The quantity you have specified for 144782-000, is greater than the available quantity. Please enter lesser quantity."
She was in my cart and she still sold out. Does it really take that much effort to make a system where quantities are deducted from the stock when they are in the cart? Since I've seen other lesser sites do it, probably not.
I'd be willing to pay and draw someone something, anything they want, if someone can get a Ditzy Doo and ship it to me from the USA. ; ~ ;

I don't think they will be exclusive... Funko products are sold at comic book stores and other fun places as well, so I'd imagine we'll see them on the shelves of other stores soon. :)
What is the price of them?$14.99 plus shipping
Got my shipping notice already! :happy:me too!!! yay!!!
Back in stock. Got one of each!
Hot topic.com lets you pay with PayPal though- that's how I paid?
Are international buyers not permitted Paypal?

Correct. I was about to pay when i got something along the lines of "We don't take paypal payments from non US customers".

Funko does do exclusives (Disney/Gemini/Astro Zombies/etc...) whether these ponies are, not sure.....I looked at the HT link quickly.....didn't notice anywhere saying that these vinyl ponies were made by Funko....am I blind?
So in a few days they go from "rumored" to "sold out"!? Somebody could have at least put out a press release, I hope this means more will get produced.
Sorry for the outburst, but I just think these weren't on most people's radar until a few days ago. Anything to do with "Bubbles" usually gets an absurd amount of coverage beforehand.So in a few days they go from "rumored" to "sold out"!?

Its not just in a few days :) They were confirmed by Funko several months ago.

I NEED IT.
I looked up shipping to the U.K.- looks like a package weighing 16oz/1lb (I assume the packaged pony in another shipping box will weigh around this much) will cost $11.60 to ship first class- plus an additional $11.75 to send by registered mail. so $23.35 IF you can manage to ship it in a package that is less than 12".
If the recipient want the packaging to look nice (and I will assume they do) you might have a very difficult if not impossible time finding a box less than 12" to fit it into. (I am considering wrapping it in sheets of foam and cardboard like Chinese shippers do- but will need to assess once the package arrives)
If you can't get the package shipped in a box under 12"- you can't ship first class- and also the package is likely to weigh slightly over 1lb. Assuming a package with dimensions of 14" x 14"x 10- and a weight of 1lb 6 oz- usps.com shows a shipping price of $40.85 for priority- and $48.40 for express- I think that is pretty close to what Hottopic is charging, isn't it?
So maybe Hot Topic is actually charging actual shipping costs after all?
This might be a dumb question... but does anyone know if they're going to sell these in stores? Or if they already are? I'd rather go to my local Hot Topic and pick one up than pay for expensive shipping.
Of course I don't work at Hot Topic- but just about everything they have in their online store- they often have in some of their stores-
I WONDER if they are there already???
Does the ones that are showing up look like the one that sold on ebay for over $400.00???? If so I bet that person feels stupid!
I would have bought those wax prototypes that were available for $99 in a heartbeat- I WISH I had known about them :cloud:I feel you on those prototypes. I was hoping they'd be up a little longer so I could find the money grab one. And I remember when the first :muffin: Pony prototype went up on TaoBao. I figured she was either fake or would be released with accessories (which I would've wanted) and passed. Now I'm searching high and low for it and can't find one.
That one on ebay doesn't look like anything special at all- even if it was an EP (and it doesn't look to be) that price was way too high ...
That is the risk with getting stuff from Taobao I agree- but then sometimes the prototypes never get made! I still wish I had bought one of those white FS Celestias- or the clear/glitter mane six characters- it is always a risk with new stuff...

I saw the page but was referring to them not saying, "by Funko" as it does for the other Funko items like this Tinkerbell Funko PoP page:

Man, Hot Topic is on top of stuff. They already shipped my order. It just feels super quick after how all my last pony purchases took forever.mine 'shipped' the same day I ordered, but when I put in the tracking info, it just said the electronic info had been processed. So it hadn't actually gone anywhere yet.

I got her about an hour ago. I checked a half hour later and saw she had sold out already. Either they're only putting very small amounts of her on the site at once, or there are just tons of people buying her each time. My mom paid for mine. She said it's part of my Christmas present, though, so I have to wait until Christmas before I can have her.
So, do the boxes say funco on them at all, anywhere?On the back and the bottom, the price tag says, "MLP Derp.y Vinyl"
"We heard you wanted better Pony toys so we told Hasbro to make them 20% Cooler. "
Riiiight...

Bahahahahaa, oh man.
They're doing some major "Thank You Economy" stuff with that direct shout-out/link to EqD in their post. Props for that, but a big part of me still wants to say "Well, actually..."

Speaking of that post Hot Topic made on facebook, we also now know why Derp.y keeps going in and out of stock. Apparently someone on their end screwed up and accidentally relisted it. So for all those still wondering it was a mistake. But, considering it's not a limited edition figure, more should be stocked up soon enough.
Are these a Hot Topic exclusive or can we expect to see more characters and stocked at places like TRU?
Sorry if this has been covered, there's so many pages of convo I don't know what's going on with these anymore :P
I was contemplating getting them, but after seeing pictures of them, they're kind of "meh" in my opinion. I am much happier with my SDCC "Bubbles." Although, those who were not able to get their hooves on a SDCC version will adore this molded version, I am sure of it.yep, they are like the blind bag ones but bigger :)
*scratches head* I can't even make out 'Bubble's' cutie mark in those photos... are they the same shade as her body or what? Are they that hard to see in real life?
:frolic: Oh my gosh I can't wait for mine to come, I'm dying!! I'm going to buy every single one of these!! I need Fluttershyyyy
I actually got the two RDs I ordered; one for me and my brother. However, the paint job is pretty sloppy and they're about as dirty looking as something that'd come from a Hasbro factory. Kinda upset over that, but I still really like her. :/
The gushing ends, annnnnd the complaining begins. XDNot for me! I;m not that picky, I;m still very impressed and happy and excited for what else they have in store!
Got mine today. QC is pretty meh. Issues in forelock paint bottom part of the tail is lifting off the tail itself (by the base.Can we see when you're done?
Currently repainting her forelock to the proper colors.
awesome to hear all the reviews , it is really sad that their quality is not aligned with their price .
I got mine today! I agree that the NDS is more attractive on both ponies. The eyes are painted on not stamped. The paint on R's mane is a little light and the blue shows through the yellow is somewhat discolored but I am very happy with them and can't wait to collect more! Who else are they making?

Thank you for answering the question I had about the eyes. Mine are waiting for me at home but I am stuck at work for another hour! The word is that Vinyl Scratch or DJ PON-3 if you prefer is also planned. I really hope that this line sells so well that Funko keeps making them. Or at the very least maybe Hasbro will see how well they are selling and will start making more show accurate ponies with molded manes and tails.
Also, the cutie mark is is backward on RD. (Same with the plushes by Funrise.)

I think Dash's cutie mark is correct to screen, but not to most of the other toys made of her or half of Hasbro's stock artwork of her. :P Poor RD!

Dash's cutie mark IS correct on this toy and the funrise plush. It is backwards on most of the Hasbro stuff like the brushables and FS.

Yes, this is one of the few cases where RD's cutie mark is actually show accurate. For whatever reason (my theory is the toy makers don't watch the show, which seems likely) the toys of RD have always had her cutie mark mirrored the wrong way.
There are a couple more "Bubbles" in store at the Hot Topic where I am as well as 3 RDs. If anybody wants me to pick them up for them, shoot me a PM and we can make arrangements. :)Can I pay with credit card?
Ahhh, sadness, I just got an email from Hot Topic saying Ditzy Doo is sold out and they didn't charge me for her. :[
I thought I had my chance and grabbed her in time...
Sigh, I never have good luck with this pony. :/
At least I have Dash...

I saw on EQD they said :muffin: Pony was added up again when she wasn't supposed to and they oversold her by 56. I was worried I was one of them since I didn't get a chance to order until Saturday morning. But I didn't get an email cancelling my order and I got a shipping notice with a tracking number, though it's still stuck on "electronic shipping info received" which is the reason I was worried.
I just noticed that no-where on the package for the grey peg does it actually say "Bubbles" - it just says "I love [picture of said pony]"Oh, really? I think I read maybe on HT's webpage they called her "Bubbles", and in stores the receipt scans ":muffin: Pony" ? Unless what I read was untrue
Odd eh?

So many names! :muffin: Pony, Ditzy Doo, Special Pony, Gray Pegasus, Best Pony, and Bubbles. It looks like her name will forever be unofficial. Even Enterplay left her name blank.
It makes me wonder if a few people cleared them out to scalp them or if there are actually more pony fans in my tiny town than I thought.
I love how everybody's just blatantly prancing around the name filter, like it wasn't put there for a reason...
Enolaalone yours shipped yesterday! You are going to LOVE THEM!!!
I love how everybody's just blatantly prancing around the name filter, like it wasn't put there for a reason...It's fine, no one is using it as an insult. That's her canon name. It always will be. ^.^

I use it because it's her name. Rainbow Dash called her :muffin: Pony on "The Last Roundup" and it doesn't get anymore official than that. She didn't call her that as an insult, she said it because that's her name. I think of all the other names as just nicknames for her.
I'm concerned that many of the pics I see the plastic is bumpy and mottled and there are seam lines on the ears, etc. Looks cheap.You'd have to be really picky to find it annoying when you have the toy in hand.

I went to Hot Topic today, the four RDs they had all had the same paint or casting flaw on her cheek, it would have been a deal breaker if I had wanted to buy one. The two Ditzy Doos (MINE NOW--MWAHAHAHA), while not perfect, were much better.
They should make a family set with the Doctor, Sparkler and Dinky. I bet they would sell a few of those.
Also, I want an Octavia standing up with her cello.

Um, no it won't, thanks. It's called respecting your fellow Arena members, some of whom find the name offensive, which is why the word filter exists, ok? The name caused an issue, so it'd be nice if everyone would stop putting periods in and everything to get around it, because that's not cool.
BerryPunch, seriously, can you please stop being passive aggressive? The word filter for this name is put here for a reason and you are completely ignoring the fact some people are uncomfortable with this, like me. Which I just said, and some people agreed with me. Please respect your fellow members. I know respect seems hard, but really? You made an entire post spamming the name and ignoring all of the above? That's just being mean, now, come on.
