The updated patterns are really nice, but I've never been much of a fan of brushable hair on plush toys. I wonder if Aurora will make these with the old style hair as well?

There's a definite push and pull between Hasbro and Mattel right now.
Hasbro makes little plastic brushable ponies. Fashion dolls for kids who don't like fashion dolls. Cool!
Mattel makes the Monster High line. More fashion dolls for kids who don't like fashion dolls!
Hasbro says, "I want a chunk of that. We can make humanoid monstery things that are totally hip, too, and we can ride on the coat-tails of one of biggest household names." Ponies grow hands and Equestria Girls are born!
Mattel says, "Pony chicks are totally awesome. We should have more pony chicks." They proceed to make an offshoot of Monster High featuring centaurs. Frightmares are born! (Coming soon to a toy aisle near you!)
I'm not sure where it's going to go from here, but I do not think that the Pony line is going anywhere. I also think that Equestria Girls are here for the long run, as they give Mattel a little more diversity in its "pink aisle" offerings and therefore more shelf real estate.

Thanks for the photos! The presentation on this one really is some kind of special, and... New characters! Yay!
For those who want to leave her wings off, maybe one of the old saddle accessories from the original G4 waves would look good on her!

Karma, that's terrible!  I hope they make good on it (again!) and make it worth your time.

I love the overall look of Celestia, but I was quite disappointed to see that her hair wasn't translucent, too!
I'm glad your ponies look good! That's the tricky thing about Funko. At their best, their pieces are incredible. At their worst, they leave a lot to be desired. The quality really is all over the place!
It's strange that Celestia ended up being the easiest to come across. Wasn't she the one that got held up at the docks originally?

I've only seen them at TRU, but that kind of thing isn't terribly unusual where I live. TRU tends to get new toys ahead of other stores in the area.

I bought one of the broken Lunas at Hot Topic today, and in putting her together, I think I figured out why the tails like to break so much on these.
When I put mine back together, her tail had apparently been installed in a slightly crooked fashion. Since the packaging is so specific to the product, the tail ended up resting up against the packaging in a way it wasn't supposed to, causing it to break at its weakest point

Luna arrived at my store. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginShe'll probably be coming to your stores soon, Moonbeam! I ordered a Luna and had it shipped site-to-store. When I went to pick it up today, I learned a couple of interesting things! 1) Funko's Quality Control. Whyyy. The Luna I got has a really craggy-looking face. 2) Glitter Celestia is awesome in person! (I got to buy one! Woohoo!) 3) My Hot Topic got a bunch of Lunas in with tails that are broken right at the butt. They didn't appear to be snapped off. From what I can see, they've just come loose somehow. They're being sold for about $4 a piece. If I hadn't already ordered mine online, I would have bought one of those for sure, because I figure it would be an easy fix.

I'd forgotten about that! He had been given the name "Time Turner" at one point!  has been lots of things. I've seen her as Muffins and Bubbly Pony, with both of these names apparently trademarked. G4 sure is complicated!

Given how quickly the Pony POP line expands, I think we'll see all of our favorites soon. It's been much faster to expand than the Brushable line, given its modular mix-and-match nature.
The spelling of Dr. Whooves / Hooves seems to be undetermined. Funko uses the former, with Hasbro here using the latter.
It does kind of bother me that they didn't give him a "boy face." More variety would have been fun!

A Google Search (Luna Funko Hot Topic) usually will find the product page for you regardless of stock, too!

I sent a message to my local Hot Topic's Facebook page about Luna, and they said that they had received a few with their Celestia shipment over the weekend. It looks like she has made it to the East Coast, but in very limited numbers! (Also, RATS! I missed her, too! I would have loved a regular Luna.)
