MLP G1 Vinyls Coming Soon

[sd_dreamcrystal]

Originally they said Spring of 2016 but the official word was July 1st. So hopefully somewhere around there.

Oh boo well there goes not getting Snuzzle or Gusty on my birthday

I hope I'll be able to find these at Barnes and Noble. We have one within walking distance, so I would probably get a good number of them if they were available there.

I just hope I see them at all. I was really hoping Hastings would be on the list but Target is fine.. just further away from me...

I was not a fan of the initial images at all but Foxtale's pictures really made me love them! Plus, even though I know they are a commercial company out to make money, I like a company that tries to listen!

I may not completely buy the reason for the line up...any one notice its the exact same as the dollymix ponies? If the chase figure is Mainsail or Powder I will giggle I am thinking more that this is a first license pack.

I'm super excited for these. I hope we see some vinyl version of the Twinkle Eyed ponies.

I mailed out a letter suggesting they make Wind Whistler and Fizzy.  Here's hoping it reaches them and they take notice.

am i the only on who wnats them to make a sprinkles? >.>

Bummer. Something about the proportions makes me not like them . and i want to like them...

I feel the same way. I think the heads are too big in comparison to the bodies or something? They are super cute and I NEED that "Sweet Scoops" aka Lickety Split in my life. But something about the proportions DOES seem a bit off....

Hmm, I suspected that after noticing Princess Sparkle on one of my retro cups.  I suspect that they didn't specifically choose these characters after all.  They just used the characters that Hasbro has already been using in its retro merch.

I agree, these are the characters turning up on a lot of retro merchandise.  Hasbro probably sends clipart of them to all its licensees.

Foxtale did say they were open to making more waves, so people should email them and let them know their favorite ponies, with a link to their My Little Wiki entry.

He did say they were planning to make more waves. He was really into convincing Hasbro that G1 Ponies are important to us and we want more merch.

I know there are clear pictures out there but I forgot to post the full list of characters to avoid confusion (based on their symbols):

Applejack
Sundance
Lickety Split
Snuzzle
Gusty
Glory
Firefly
Minty
Princess Sparkle
**Mystery Chase Figure

I still want a Bowtie in the next wave. ;p

I dunno who this man is,  but I could kiss him for saying that. 

ME TOO!!!

AHHH I love them! It's so amazing that someone is paying attention to G1 <3 I will definately by, at minimum, three, but hopefully many more!
My hopes for future releases are Sugarberry (and the other TAF ponies), glow 'n shows and sea ponies!

[Gusty]

They look awesome! I'm going to buy them. I hope they make Wind Whistler .

Sugarberry would be awesome!  She was my first G1 pony. 

I'm definitely even more interested in these after seeing more photos.  I can't decide who I want most!

*flails* Really tempted to preorder the whole box right nowwww.... considering it, probably will do it. So if we order the whole case can we get doubles? Or we get the full set for sure?

I'm pretty sure you would get a full set, I'm sure they have to put the possibility in there just in case..? Not sure how the rare chase figures work though!

I was looking at their other mini-figure sets, because whatever they do for Transformers, TMNT, etc, will probably be the same as they do for MLP.

From what I can tell, a set usually has 8 common figures and up to 3 chase figures (i.e. rare figures), and the typical case will have two of each common.  (A case has a total of 16 blind boxes in it.)  This seems to be pre-set, not random--like, even if Donatello and Rafael have the same level of rarity, you aren't going to get a case with 4 Donatellos and zero Rafaels.

BUT sometimes a common figure is switched out for a chase figure, and that part IS randomized.  It is pure chance whether a case you order has a chase figure or not. 

They often have three chase figures per set, with the odds of getting them being 1-in-16, 1-in-24, and 1-in-96.  Whether they're doing this for MLP is uncertain, because from what Foxtale said it sounded like there might be only one chase figure?

Also, we have seen 9 figures to date.  If we assume that The Loyal Subjects are following their usual set-up of having 8 commons, one of the ponies we've already seen may be a chase figure.
