It's rather funky, and the glasses are cool.
In fact... I'm rather loving the use of Swarovski.... :glitter:
Edit:
I've been looking at her and really am very taken with her :P Just need to figure a way to acquire her lol
Better than last year's. *ducks fakies* :PBut that IS her 'Hasbro' name more-so than Vinyl Scratch, it was used on last years TRU collection!
I find it sort of sad that they are not using her Hasbro name, just the weird fan name that doesn't really appeal to me.
for the 30th anniversary I would have preferred something a little more representative of the whole line.Yeah. This too.

Well that's saved me a fortune!
Crystals and light-up doodads! This is the Lady Gaga of ponies, only not as exciting as the words "Lady Gaga of Ponies" sounds like it would be.Lady Gaga is so......gone !!! LOL no?
I hope that's not the Fair Pony this year too..
and if it is I'm glad I didn't pre-order one.

I LOVE IT! =D I wasnt expecting this at all, she isnt brushable?! Oh well LOL. At first glance she looked like a Funko Pony! Is there a way to preorder this right now!? I NEED IT! Wow Im glad that their exclusive is something we havnt seen before, those Pinkies threw us off!

I like the idea of Swarovski a lot and I am okay with G4s but that is where it ends.
I don't like:
-DJ Pon3 (She just isn't a favorite of mine and I don't like that you never see her eyes)
-Non-brushable
-glitter everywhere instead of more crystals (if you look closely she doesn't even have that many real crystals).
-light up box (only because I've never been big on things with batteries that eventually fail).
-Doesn't celebrate 30 years in a big way
-Doesn't celebrate 30 year anniversary at all
So, I am disappointed. But on the other hand now I don't have to worry about buying an expensive second hand pony.
What did you people expect?
It says the box lights up.
Unfortunately it likely is the Fair Pony :( the price matches and Hasbro did say last year that it would be the same pony for the two events from now on.
-DJ Pon3 (She just isn't a favorite of mine and I don't like that you never see her eyes)That's not true; they're visible in A Canterlot Wedding Part 2.

Hasbro does not have an online pre order system like Mattel and some other suppliers.
Pre orders tend to be people who make listings on ebay and then attempt to fulfil the orders they have taken.
That's kinda how I feel about her. Like,if she had more crystals on her (like on her cutie mark, a "bling'd out" crystal glasses, horn, and hair), then I could understand it more.What did you people expect?
A lot more for $50.
Wow, a non-brushable? It's still kinda neat but I dunno...the hair is like, half the reason MLP is so great. :/
What did you people expect?
Shoot, I'd be fine if she herself actually (mostly-to-full body) lit up like those LED shirts (to where if you hooked up your MP3 player to her, she'd light up in the beat of the song that's playing). That, I could see being like $40 to $50 for an exclusive.I would pay out the nose for something like that! I have a lot of pony trance remixes that would make good use of that kind of cool feature. And it would give Vinyl some kind of character or quirk.
Uhh, I meant that Hasbro has not acknowledged an anniversary at all this year and i feel like assuming they would is a bit silly and too hopeful that they'd just suddenly remember. Besides, I'd assume IF they acknowlede it, it'd not be an exclusive like this. :/Wow, a non-brushable? It's still kinda neat but I dunno...the hair is like, half the reason MLP is so great. :/
As a kid the cheapest toys were always the ones who had molded hair. Like McDonald ponies and Barbies. I know there are now lots of cool, detailed, and often expensive collectibles with molded hair, but I still can't help feeling as if it is a cheap version of the real thing.

There is a whole thread on what we expected! Unless you are saying we should have known to be disappointed and should have known they wouldn't acknowledge their own anniversary? Sounds like you have no faith in Hasbro. Is that what you mean?

Let's face it, we already know that Hasbro favors the brony's now and pretty much pushes aside collectors at this point. This makes me sad. I want a fair pony exclusive when I go to the RI fairs, because it's a cool souvenir like getting a t-shirt but in pony form. I don't think they would charge $50 for a standard G3 mold type pony or even a G4 type mold. Unless the pony was made of platinum or had diamonds on it or something. That's more of a joke really though.
Well, crap. I'm SOOOOOOOO glad I shelled out for the most expensive Fair ticket package if this is what the pony is. /sarcasm
I personally have accepted it will be a g4 from now on but (a) I expected FS brushable and (b) something totally new. Vinyl is old news not an exclusive by any means.
Also out of curiosity, are people more upset that its a G4 pony, or that its Vinyl in particular?

Agreed- but I mean, since a mini Drama Pony is being released in the fan favorites, would you say she is no longer an exclusive either?
Light up? Lack of brushable hair makes me sad, but It prevents bronies from being picky and cutting it anyway, so whatevs. I want one, but if I end up missing one, I won't be too upset.

yeah that is how I feel. If it's an exclusive, it should be an exclusive. Not just a rejig of something already out. Maybe if it was a redo of an old character (the way they do with transformers or GI Joe) I'd be ok, but seriously, vinyl is everywhere. She isn't special.
Also out of curiosity, are people more upset that its a G4 pony, or that its Vinyl in particular?G4 is the current generation, so anything else wouldn't have made any sense. But it's Vinyl, who isn't a main cast member by any stretch of the imagination, and it's a pretty dull design overall, and there'll be another release of her soon enough which will likely look much better for only about $16.
This. If someone showed me this pony without telling me anything about it I would've said "Oh wow, Funko went all out for SDCC!" Nothing about it says "Hasbro" and everything about it says "cheap." I like it and even I wouldn't pay $50 for this. 30 maybe but 50 is lunacy.Also out of curiosity, are people more upset that its a G4 pony, or that its Vinyl in particular?
I think because it's all plastic. Funko has already said something along the lines of her being released down the road so I am unsure why Hasbro went this road. You can buy a funko version without the glitter and glued on gems for less then $20.00 at hot topic.

I really liked last years pony so it isn't about the generation for me. It is just that she is vinyl and that it is DJ who we already have in several different figures. I was hoping for a new pony with real hair. Or at least a new pony if it had to be vinyl.
Also out of curiosity, are people more upset that its a G4 pony, or that its Vinyl in particular?Because it's Vinyl Scratch/ DJ Pon-3, especially considering we know that Funko is going to be releasing a figure of her in the near-ish future for a much lower price. So, to me at least, it's like "Exclusive or not, why shell out $50 for this one when Funko's version will be $30+ cheaper and generally will (quite likely) look the same (minus the crystals and glitter)?" ^^;
Her music note is totally backwards.
It's actually pretty cool, but for the 30th anniversary I would have preferred something a little more representative of the whole line.
Her music note is totally backwards.
I was thinking that too and wondering if she has always been like that.

Just about every single piece of official art and screencaps I can find has it backwards.
I can not believe I just noticed this.
I am assuming they are clumping the SDCC and fair pony together is to save on cash. No need to make two different runs for two different events.
I like her a lot, but as an exclusive she's disappointing.
As others have said, we already have a brushable of her, she is easily the most merchandised pony short of Ditzy Doo and the mane six, and we're getting three Funko vinyl figures of her (regular, Pop!, and that cupcake one) this year or early next and no doubt the standard vinyl figure will look exactly like this, minus the crystals and glitter. She's not much of an exclusive. The same thing happened with Ditzy, just in a different order.
It's obvious Hasbro is focusing its collector/adult market sights on the bronies and they love their bg ponies but wow, it'd be nice to have an exclusive that's actually... exclusive? The fun thing about exclusives in the past is that they were limited, there were no mass-produced versions made of them beforehand or later on. I know Vinyl is going to be FS size and have a light-up box and Swarovski crystals and the whole she-bang, but they could have put all that on a pony that we aren't going to see 20 times this year.

Wow I didn't knew there were coming three versions of the funko O-o
I wish they could have released something different and wit hair, a styling Daring would be cool since I don't think Hasbro is going to release ever a brown pony wit black and grey hair to the stores
2012: Ditzy
2013: Vinyl Scratch
2014: ...Octavia? Time Turner? Some other big merch pony?
She looks fun. I really wouldn't mind having her in my collection. But I don't think I'll be too sore if I can't get one.
(Just saw another picture of her in the Fair speculation thread from a different angle... That hair is crazy!)
Also out of curiosity, are people more upset that its a G4 pony, or that its Vinyl in particular?

For me, I'm upset that it's Vinyl/DJ Pony (whatever her name is) I expected it to be a G4 (though I was still hopeful for a G1) I don't like DJ Pony and no offense to those that like her, but she's hideous with those glasses and the rhinestones make it worse. I think Hasbro is trying to cash in because they saw the craze for Drama Pony and knew they could have gotten more money for her, seeing what people would pay for her on ebay. So they made a popular brony character and bumped the price to $50 because they know people will pay for it.
*looks at the comic con exclusives reveal*
I'm more excited for the Jem doll and the G.I. Joe/Transformers things, and I don't even collect those! Looks like I'll be buying those instead this year, and wait for a less expensive, less tacky version of the Funko pony to come out to my local Hot Topic. If I even bother, I don't really collect Funko ponies and don't have much enthusiasm for them.
Hasbro has been making it surprisingly easy for me to not spend money on new ponies.

It just makes me glad that the pony is nothing special. I do want it, but if I don't get it for an extremely reasonable price- who the heck cares? Jem on the other hand... my heart is breaking already.

Will Jem be available on Hasbro's website after the con? I think the article mentioned something about DJ being available. I can't remember if they put Jem up there last year.
But this new (largely Brony fueled) direction that Hasbro is going says that everything has to be exactly like the show. This character always has to look exactly like *this* and her hair always has to look exactly like *this* and heaven forbid that it isn't exactly like the show. (And don't get me wrong, I like the show). But MLP use to be all about imagination. Doesn't feel very conducive to imagination anymore.
looks like she has speakers on her glasses, that would be cool,you can plug your mp3 player or pc and she will play your music.

I think she's pretty, and I might end up getting her, but honestly, it's the 30th year of mlp... I'd have liked something more multi-gen friendly.
looks like she has speakers on her glasses, that would be cool,you can plug your mp3 player or pc and she will play your music.
I"ve already paid for her with my ticket. I'll wait to see her in person, but i'm probably going to sell/trade mine. I just hope the market isn't flooded with Fair-goers wanting to sell theirs (as I suspect will be the case), which would make it harder for me to get my money back.
I have a Fair pony from every other Fair I've been to, so it would be sad to not have one from this year....but I don't like the molded hair (made worse by Funko making a cheaper version)
Hasbro made a cheaper pony by not doing brushable hair yet raised the price...I'm angry that it's costing me $50
So Do you like the SDCC Pony this Year? And if it is the Fair Pony Do you like it? Im not sure if I like it or not at this point, Im just glad I didnt get a ticket with a the pony included at the fair if this is it. And dont really think Ill wait in line for one unless Im missing something major here.
What do you think?

I hate her, and this is the main reason why.
I like Vinyl Scratch and I like the mold. But the totally random glitter and crystals (and light up? I heard she lights up) are just ridiculous. There's no chance she's worth $50, that price is a rip off. At this rate it looks like I'll never want a G4 exclusive, which is fine with me. Hasbroken is so bad I don't even buy normal G4s anymore, but I would've made an exception for a cool all-generations thing.
The box lights up. I think most folks keep their exclusives in the box, but many of them don't so?? ??? confused by that. Would have been better if the pony lit up imo.
I absolutely adore her, but I simply can't afford her.
She'd look stunning on a display shelf, but I'm probably going to settle with Funko's Vinyl Scratch, because I can NOT pay $50 for a pony at this current time.
I would rather have a commemorative Grumpy Cat with glitter and Swarovski crystals than the SDCC.
Also, it doesn't feel like a real mlp toy to me; it's just a collectible based on the cartoon show. =/
I wondered if they could possibly do worse than last year's pony.
You've impressed me, Hasbro. You hit bedrock and just kept digging. Great work! :rolleyes:
Like I said Im sick of the overrrated-ness of Ponies who appear only 2 seconds in the show. They get even way more merch then the CMC. WHAT?! Also Im sure a normal one will be released soon at Hot Topic. I rather had a Brushable with some awesome designs like the G3 ones had.

YOU TOO, HUH??
Seriously, Rarity/AJ were edged out of one of the Funko toylines (the mini-ones I think) for GreyPeg and DJP0n3.
Let that sink in for a minute.
Funko/Hasbro thought it was a good idea to drop a third of the mane six for a pair of background characters with a sentence of screentime between them.
I'd guess it's because Rarity and AJ aren't as "popular" as the other mane 4 ponies, Ditzy, and DJ.Like I said Im sick of the overrrated-ness of Ponies who appear only 2 seconds in the show.

Fifty g** d*** dollars for that!? Lmfao...wow.
At least this one should be easier to get, as that is totally not what anyone was asking for. So underwhelming...
Ah, so what we have here is a "Golden Turd".Fifty g** d*** dollars for that!? Lmfao...wow.
At least this one should be easier to get, as that is totally not what anyone was asking for. So underwhelming...
Yes and considering they can get it cheaper at hot topic when it's released.
Think of all the G1s you could buy with $50!!!I totally agree - and since I don't collect G4s I'm gonna take the $50 to the Fair to buy a pony I really want or need.
Maybe even a MB for that price!
I agree, vote no with your wallet.
OK I'm trying to find something positive so I don't just stick it in a box when I get home....
~ At least it's not another Mane 6 (although I would've taken a brushable Mane 6 over a vinyl, or an art pony Mane 6 with lots of design creativity)
~ The glasses are molded on, not painted on.
~ The box lights up, so kudos on a creative packaging design.
~ It's not pink.
OK, I'm feeling a *wee* bit better. Still having a hard time with it being a non-brushable. I wonder how this is being received by the bronies.
Well! Having read through all five pages, now I can share my own opinion.
I woke up, checked my RSS feeds over a cup of tea, and went ~absolutely berserk~ when I saw that the SDCC 2013 pony had been revealed. So. Much. Awesome! :shocked: Look at all that awesome! Glitter! Crystals! Lights! Pretty! $50! Pony pony pony pony pony (continued for half an hour)
Now all my enthusiasm has calmed somewhat, I have to say I still love the look of her and I was devastated to find out that preorders are now about $160 at least on eBay. I thought to myself, this is probably the cheapest I'll ever see her, and I was incredibly sad. If anybody has preordered one of these with their MLP Fair ticket packages and would like to pass her on to someone who would give her the love and adoration she deserves- please let me know. I would love one of these so much.
(Also, I think some people are getting confused. Vinyl is her name. She's not actually made of it, like a Funko figure.) :P

This is not show accurate! DJ PON3 doesn't have glitter all over her and her cutie mark is backwards and the hair not show accurate at all! Blah blah blah!
:rolleyes:
But (in my opinion) Gray Bubbles was unique and sold like hotcakes last year because the fans never thought she would see any sort of toy release - this was right after the controversy with her last year. DJ has already had a brushable toy and will have a Funko figure. I wanted Gray Bubbles because I thought she would be a one-shot (of course, now she has a Funko and will have a small brushable as well, which is ok with me). I really like her toy as well with the lovely blonde mane and tail (mine has one of FS Twilight's barettes in). If I would want a plastic haired DJ, I'd wait for the Funko release. I have glitter if I felt so compelled to bedazzle her myself.
I don't think this will sell anywhere near what last year's pony sold. I'm hearing an overwhelming "meh".
Especially for the cost! Even casual pony fans wouldn't mind shelling out $20 for a special pony of a popular character. But $50?? Nope.

I wonder what the general reaction to her is on more Brony centric forums is. Because in all honesty, I was expecting a g4 fan favourite, so that isn't my beef. My problem is that you can already buy her, so how is she an exclusive figure? Glitter doesn't automatically make something extra special.

People over at EQD seem to love her. I don't think anyone needs to hope that she will not be expensive. XP
A few people do... most reactions seem to be "that looks sort of weird" or "lol 'adult collectible'." It's not overtly negative, but nor is it a slam dunk by any means.I wonder what the general reaction to her is on more Brony centric forums is.

I kinda expected that.... Looks like Hasbro wins again.
Hasbro gets all the money and a sold out 'exclusive', the brony community gets to pat themselves on the back for how well the company listens to their demands, and the long-time collectors get to grumble and keep our money in our pockets...
A win-win situation for everyone except the long time collectors. As usual.
Yeah, it seems to be either "OmG, must have her!! Awesome SDCC exclusive!" or "Eh, i'll wait for the Funko version / I can get a more show accurate custom figure for that price or cheaper / adult collectible? Lol ." from what I've read on EqD.A few people do... most reactions seem to be "that looks sort of weird" or "lol 'adult collectible'."

It's interesting that it's not marketed as a toy, but they're still careful to round off all the sharp points on her hair.
I love it. I love Vinyl Scratch and I think it's awesome they're making figures of her.... but it's totally not worth the money. Maybe 30 bucks at the most.
Especially since Funko is gonna make one that will be way cheaper and will look very similar.

I think Hasbro thinks it does. :P
Seeing the higher resolution images she is growing on me. Makes me wonder what she is made from and if I can saw off the hair and maker her brushable..... hmm...

Hasbro are like kindergartners in that sense.

I dunno... very few ponies get fashion style releases period, so that's not a big deal. And drama pony is getting a standard brushable soon, and her hair wasn't molded, and Pon-3's already had one.
I would have liked to have seen Hasbro include a matching DJ pin or lanyard for the cost, but then Swarovski crystals are very expensive. Speaking from an artist's viewpoint, this pony clearly wasn't designed to be removed from the box (and most collectors don't debox anymore anyways). The background on the box shows a disco room- and those little crystal embellishments are going to light up and sparkle more than that picture can show- and the effects should be beautiful. If you've ever been roller-skating under a prismatic disco ball, the people and the floor fill with little sparkles which are really enchanting. No online picture can show that too well- or hardly at all.
I do agree that the battery thing will be annoying, but do we know whether they will be replaceable?
You know, since DJ is a pony about music they should have had a music element about her. Some people had mentioned turning her into an ipod speaker or something. That would have made sense. For $50 that would have made more sense actually.
I have a friend who wants this pretty badly, but isn't going to SDCC... what would be her best bet of getting one?
