Title: Show-accurate Princess Luna??
Post by: FlickaFriend on September 14, 2017, 09:05:51 AM
Does anyone know if there is a Hasbro or fakie Princess Luna figure with the right colours?  My daughter loves her character in the show and really wants a toy of her (pref brushable but any will do), but when she sees the pale lilac toys she says "that's completely wrong!! That's not what she looks like!"

The best I've seen is the Funko but I don't know how good it is for play or if it's just for display.

There are several 3rd party sellers from China you can find on ebay. They make plush Lunas in the correct colors.

There's a correctly-colored plush by Ty!

I don't know all the places these are available at, but I've seen them at Ben Franklin Crafts.

Some of Hasbro's newest fabric-hair plushies are fairly accurate too.

Nightmare Night Luna has pretty accurate colors. That's the one my daughter has.

The Build a Bear plush is lovely, too.

I think the Funko minis have pretty good colors-  they are only slightly larger than blind bags, which works perfectly for the princesses (who should be larger than the blind bags make them anyway- in my opinion)

I agree with everybody here.
Funko 'nightmare night' Luna is good, and not too costly. but the crown & necklace CAN come off & are super tiny so they're easy to lose. The Mystery Mini is pretty playable, (it seems) but it is costly because those were always over-priced to begin with and then the 'blindbox style' making it worse to get the one you want.
That TY is actually really nice! They got the correct head shape going a little better there, and the colors are really good. Is it big?

You can also get upset with all the pale/wrong colors and do what I did which is paint that DAP Luna after some kid markers it, and make like this

Which gives a good big Luna. The best one is the Funko regular size but it's like 400 dollars now because they didn't make enough and its super pretty which is so too bad.

The other opinion I haven't seen anyone mention yet is, if your daughter isn't super rough on her toys, you could always go the custom route and either yourself or pay someone else to make a show accurate Luna brushable.
