Title: Update On The G1 Action Vinyls!
Post by: StarlightFrost on June 15, 2016, 07:02:04 PM
So it's been a while and the original thread on this has sunk into the back pages, here's what i am talking about for the unaware:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


These are MLP Action Vinyls (the above are prototypes from the Toy Fair) from the company The Loyal Subjects. They will be in blind boxes and are about 3-4 inches tall with articulation. There will probably be a chase figure or two but i can't remember if that was confirmed.
The prototypes are subject to change so they may not look the same as the picture above anymore.

(There was more info on the old thread, http://mlparena.com/index.php?topic=376450.0
It's a big thread, but there was a bunch of info at the time of the toy fair earlier this year. Keep in mind TLS might have changed some things since it has been a few months.)

These were announced some months back and I was keeping an eye on their facebook for any more info. None appeared.

So I decided to message them on facebook a few days ago. I asked a few questions: Are these ponies still being worked on? When will they be released? And the final was because I was curious: Why did TLS decide to pick up on the g1 license when it seems a lot of their other toylines were traditionally 'for boys'? (TMNT and Transformers were what primarily came to mind at the time)

Here's the reply
--
Hi -Name-,

Yes, we are indeed still coming out with My Little Pony Action Vinyls, and are hoping to have them out by the end of this Summer.  Trust that we're looking forward to them too :)

We decided to pick up the license, because there's a ton of G1 collectors out there who need something fresh to add to their collections!  Plus, they're so cute!

Thanks again for the support, and I hope we can continue to earn it!

All the best,
TLS

I thought that was super cool so I wanted to let others know.
Also I'm personally hyped that they'll be released in the relatively near future!

And they seem like a great company who really seem to care which is great :)

I also would be tempted to buy a whole case just to get them all.

They care more about us then Hasbro does that's for sure. I'll pick some of the set up just cuz of that. My daughter is eyeing Firefly for a custom and she wants Lickety -split and she wants a unicorn as well. I sure would like to have Sundance or Snuzzle.

Still having a hard time getting over those proportions.

The proportions are strange, but that Gusty is so cute!  Plus, as they are so small, the proportions may not look as odd in person.
Title: Re: Update On The G1 Action Vinyls!
Post by: rosierjay on June 15, 2016, 09:23:30 PM
i'll get some for customizing purposes, but probably not to collect.

They definitely are. I have talked to them in the past once or twice and they were similarly polite and nice to contact. They also said back at that time that they were taking peoples' feedback into consideration, such as the colors and proportions. So who knows, maybe they've tweaked some things.

I think they're really cute either way, and thrilled that g1 collectors are getting a chance to collect something new and good quality.

I'm so glad they didn't get dropped. I can not wait for Minty and AJ! I might fall for a few more though depending on how easy they are to find xD
Title: Re: Update On The G1 Action Vinyls!
Post by: ponycake on June 15, 2016, 10:05:08 PM
Everything they do is kind of 'chibi' styled from what I remember. I don't think they'll be abandoning that when that's what they do and what they put out.

http://d1nr5wevwcuzuv.cloudfront.net/product_photos/7983685/GIJOE_GROUP2copy_original.jpg

It doesn't bother me personally. I still hope they're successful and put out more characters than just the ones we keep getting on retro clothing, the same characters and same poses over and over again.

 I'm not a fan of the style, but I love the fact that with this surge in retro stuff there are more older ponies appearing in stuff.

I'm excited about any retro merch.  But I'm less excited about the articulation and the price point.  I'll probably get a couple to support retro mlp.

I want to buy them all.  I forgot are these being sold in stores or only on their website?  Are they being sold individually or a few ponies to a set, also are they going to be blind boxes or do we actually know what we're getting?
Title: Re: Update On The G1 Action Vinyls!
Post by: Al-1701 on June 16, 2016, 04:56:12 PM
I think they're going to be carried in stores that carrier their other stuff.  Great that they answered you back.  Hope they received my letter suggesting they add Wind Whistler and Fizzy.

This is what i remember from the old thread, They will be in retail locations and also on the website. They will probably be individually boxed, and they will be blind boxed. You will also be able to buy them as a set of 16 as well.

Also I found a review of one of TLS's blind box TMNT figures with a ton of pictures for those curious about the general quality.

Ah, yes.  That was the other thing that put me off.  Not only are they a whopping $14-15 each but that we will have to pay that much for a blind boxed figure.  I don't like spending that much and not knowing what I'm getting.
Title: Re: Update On The G1 Action Vinyls!
Post by: Jocelyn on June 17, 2016, 06:24:49 AM
I think they're all cute, so I look forward to picking them up and being surprised with who I get! But it would be nice if there were a way to get specific ones as well...
Title: Re: Update On The G1 Action Vinyls!
Post by: octocorn on June 17, 2016, 06:59:13 AM
wow that's a high price point for blind boxes...  I like these, but I don't know if I'll pick them up or not.

someone mentioned on the original thread that bigbadtoystore lets people pick and choose for a slightly higher price. alternately we could always trade/buy off other members.
Title: Re: Update On The G1 Action Vinyls!
Post by: PrincessTiffy on June 17, 2016, 07:18:25 AM
Maybe there will be some kind of code like on the blind bag packages. I'm not sure if any boxed blind toys have these since I've only bought the ones in the foil bags.

I would love to get my hands on these. However, I read somewhere that they were going to be $14.99 a pony. I hope that's not right. I was really hoping they were going to be around the $7 mark. :(

Mmm but if the quality is good (at least better than funkos) then the $15 would probably be worth it.. we'll see
Title: Re: Update On The G1 Action Vinyls!
Post by: Eternia on June 18, 2016, 09:59:34 AM
ouch $15 each?! I originally was going to spring for a whole case, now I might not even get 1!
Title: Re: Update On The G1 Action Vinyls!
Post by: ponycake on June 18, 2016, 10:27:06 AM
Yep, the case is $235.

Has anybody actually preordered any of these or the case or the 4 pack?
Title: Re: Update On The G1 Action Vinyls!
Post by: Sparkle Pony on June 18, 2016, 01:58:13 PM
These are super cute but $15 is a bit much.  I will probably get at least 1 though!
Title: Re: Update On The G1 Action Vinyls!
Post by: Chelsea7 on June 18, 2016, 06:25:06 PM
It stinks that they'll be $15 and nobody even knows if the quality will be worth it. Plus they're blind bags so that is extra frustrating..
I hope that they're decently made! I definitely want at least 1 of them

Thanks for the info.  That's a lot of money to pay for something you don't know what you're getting.  I would hate to spend that much and get a repeat.

So you will be able to buy a set of 16? Because I'm not going to be buying many if they are only blind boxed. It's pricey.

Maybe I'm being a party pooper but I don't understand the whole popularity of this blind bag/box thing. I like to know what I am purchasing.

I prefer to see what I'm getting as well. I can understand that people like the surprise and thrill of hunting. And it's alright for the little $2 blind bags, but for stuff like this or Breyers Treasure Hunt horses? It's a little too much sometimes.

There was a non MLP line of Funko Mystery minis I was interested in. I ordered them online  2 single boxes and was disappointed to get the same character in both boxes.

That happened to me with some other Blind Bags that I ordered online.. got 3 in a set and two of the 3 were the same figure..

Edit: However, even if you get doubles you can trade with someone else, that's what I've been doing for the Funk Mystery Minis recently

Post by: FantasticFirefly on July 23, 2016, 10:40:18 AM
My dad collected sports cards and stuff. same idea, blind package with rares hidden every so often. Trading among other collectors is common. and MLP looks like it'll be popular enough to be able to do with connections from a hobby shop, or a local buy/sell/trade page so there's no shipping involved.

I am super excited. I am pretty broke at the moment, but eventually I'll have all of them. LOVE the unique proportions. they're a fresh take.

I would love to get my hands on these. However, I read somewhere that they were going to be $14.99 a pony. I hope that's not right. I was really hoping they were going to be around the $7 mark. :(

I haven't seen them up close, but sounds about right for the level of detail and quality I anticipate. I hope they are of good quality to reflect the price point. Glad they didn't poll g1 collectors like Hasbro did with the 25th anniversary G1's sets. No wonder they looked so terrible- $5 per figure that size gets junk, never mind a stunning package... the respondents didn't want to pay near enough for a collector quality item. :(

Oh good, I'm so glad! I need some of these, especially Princess sparkle!
And they seem like a great company who really seem to care which is great :)

They care more about us then Hasbro does that's for sure. I'll pick some of the set up just cuz of that. My daughter is eyeing Firefly for a custom and she wants Lickety -split and she wants a unicorn as well. I sure would like to have Sundance or Snuzzle.

Still having a hard time getting over those proportions.

Shots fired

I'm honestly very excited for them, they look cute but different. I just hope they're available in my country, I don't wanna fetch them overpriced on ebay :'(

Hello (name removed),

We're still in development for the MLP line, and are awaiting the update to determine exactly when the line will become available.  As for now, the best bet for receiving updates with regard to the line will have to come through our social media pages. 

That said, once the line is ready, we'll be sure to have it up on our site and available for purchase.

I hope we can look forward to your support in the meantime.

Kind regards,
Eamon
Sadly I have not seen any form of an update on their FB page about this line as they seem to be posting more about TMNT and a few other lines..

There is always the option for trading with others :3 or buying from others when they start selling them
but pretty much almost all their lines are blind boxes

Glory is one of the other purple unicorns. I believe Fox Tails confirmed the identities.

Glory is in fact one of the original "revealed" set of ponies.

They did hint that there would be a few "Chase" characters that are not pictured in the original prototypes.

Hopefully we get an update soon. I hope they don't miss the Christmas season so they do well... that way we will see more in the future. ;D

Hello Everyone! I figured I would reply to this thread but I have news from the Toy Fair.

Accordingly the figures are finally coming to us in June of 2017 after many snags in production and the approval from Hasbro. All the items at their booth are pre-production runs instead of painted prototypes.

Hot Topic is a confirmed retailer and has purchased a variety of the special chase items for their Blind Boxes.

The ponies that were revealed before are still the only ones being produced but the chase figures have been revealed. They are glow in the dark, clear with glitter or black with colored manes.

Here are some additional images I took at the booth:

Where did you pre-order from?

I tried to get the information as to which retailers bought which chase figures but the guy I was talking to wasn't 100% sure (even though he was super sweet and informative). Hopefully the glitter ones are in all the variations as well as the glow one. :D

Gypsy! She was running preorders through her online shop, but this was like ... at least a year ago, when they were first announced to be 'coming to stores soon!', which was not the case. :P She gave the buyers several opportunities to cancel our preorders, when it became obvious that three months was gonna stretch into six, then into indefinite, but I kept holding on! So I will keep an eager ear out for updates from her!

I believe the yellow is the GLow in the Dark version of Firefily. Unfortunately the only pegasus right now is Firefly. Hopefully if we give buy enough they will make more! If i recall Lofty is in the Hasbro g1 catalog so she might make an appearance. I think they just went with the ones that were prominent thus far in the G1 items.
