Quote from: StarlightGaze on October 26, 2012, 12:36:29 AMQuote from: Bellevi on October 26, 2012, 12:02:00 AMI really like that they're going to be making more of these, but does the box really have to say "vinyl collectible"? I hate it when a toy says it's "collectible" or "collector's edition" on the box. Companies like Kidrobot don't have this problem, and therefore don't need to write 'collectible' on the box, because their toys and brands have always been for adults. It IS a collectible. Like Tokidoki vinyl collectables, where it clearly says on the box that it's collectable art and not a toy. These are meant to be displayed more than played with.I know what they're for. My post was about the word being on the box. Kidrobot is able to convey it without having the word being part of the display, so I think other companies could do it, too. I like the way these Funko MLPs display except for those two words at the top.I feel that the word is used to help bolster sales, to make people think they're getting something that's of higher value than the "regular" toy, when it'll be up to the collector's market in the end.

I don't know if anyone is interested to know this but I got a little info from Funko about these.Hot Topic has an exclusive selling period deal, we shouldn't see these for sale anywhere else until Feb/March 2013.
I'd sure like a Rarity one. She never get any love.
I suppose it's because parents will see these, see the words "My Little Pony" and assume (rightly so, really) it would be a good toy for their children. And they're not suitable for kids, those hairstyles look sharp! As this is the first time ever that pony figures have been marketed to adults, they're really just trying to convey the 'not for children' angle.
It looks Bubbles and RD are IN STOCK right now on HotTopic website???Rainbow Dash: http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/PopCulture/MyLittlePony//My+Little+Pony+Rainbow+Dash+Vinyl+Figure-144781.jspBubbles: http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/PopCulture/MyLittlePony//My+Little+Pony+Bubbles+Vinyl+Figure-144782.jspgogogo
