Molded Hair G4's - Funko Pop Figures

[Dusky]

And this is why I stopped chasing/bothering with anything pulled from Taobao. $300 today, $5 tomorrow! ;P

[Galactica]

I would have bought those wax prototypes that were available for $99 in a heartbeat- I WISH I had known about them 

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...

[Dusky]

The see-through ones aren't going to be a line after all? Darn. Maybe they couldn't stabilise the plastic again, after the G3 line started to fleece oozy stuff after a while.

[Galactica]

Ooh- maybe that is why!

I don't know for sure- I do know that after the initial clear ones showing up on Taobao- they dried up entirely and there is not even a whisper of them now- which tells me they were a test run that got the thumbs down.  I would be shocked to see them (or the White Celestia) in regular production at this point.

I wonder how many of those brushable minties were ever made? I sure wish they had made more of those too...

[HawaiianRain]

Would love to get my hands on a white FS Celestia at this point. There is always hope though ladies!

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 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.

Ah well...Lesson learned. The second I see a prototype I should snatch it up because I'll be killing myself trying to find it later.

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.

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

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.

I didnt take it as an outburst I was honesty just confirming they had been known about for a while - maybe not by the whole MLP community but by quite a few within it. Not everything is picked up on straight away - on this occasion it has taken the items coming into stock for there to be a reaction on this scale thats all I think.

[Galactica]

It does seem a lot like these have gone from - hey... maybe there will be Funko ponie.... HERE THEY ARE!  It was so fast and no advance notice from Taobao- so obviously Funko is a lot more careful with their products, lol

[dinobuzz]

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.

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?

It may not say on the link but they are certainly Funko products.

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:

I'd like to get these. I'd definitely like to get a Pony for my room mate since he missed out on the Comic Con figure thanks to that whole fiasco. Would make a good Christmas present...

[Heliodor]

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.

[ShortyBoo]

I kind of want that Pony, but I just wish she were cheaper. I think I'd feel better about spending that much if she had her cutie mark on both sides. I like the side of her without the cutie mark better because of her hair, but if I display her like that, she'd look like a blank flank. I think the Rainbow Dash looks ok, but the hair bothers me. It seems like they could have done some more research to be sure the hair colors were correct before releasing her.

Would guess its just a forgetful website administrator then Years ago I worked for an online golf goods retailer and I can remember how easy it was to forget just one piece of information when you were uploading dozens of new products every single day!

[ShortyBoo]

Pony's back in stock now for anyone looking for her: http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/PopCulture/MyLittlePony//My+Little+Pony+Bubbles+Vinyl+Figure-144782.jsp

I just ordered her. I still don't like that her cutie mark is only on one side, but then since the only other Pony is the SDCC one (which I have) I figured I'd get her. I have way too much stuff with RD already, plus I hate how they colored her hair, so I skipped getting her.

[kakenterprise]

I still think its odd they keep going back in and out of stock.

I passed on Rainbow Dash too I'm not supposed to be buying stuff as it is...
