Funko MLP Pop! Figures

[Jocelyn]

Ahhh, was replacing AJ and Rarity really necessary? They're my two favorites These do look pretty cute though, I just wish Hasbro would stop giving AJ and Rarity the short end of the stick...

[moonsugar]

Ohhhh, they're so cuuuuuuute!  I must have them. ALL of them.

These are really cute... but I really wish they had Rarity and AJ instead of or in addition to Drama and DJ

They said they won't reveal the prototypes for awhile, they are still in the very early stages of the planning process. The sketches are super cute and a lot of vendors were interested.

I don't know what to think.  On the one hand, they *are* pretty cute.  But, on the other hand...this is more proof to me that they don't care about AJ or Rarity anymore.  The "fan favourites" get more attention, because they are sure money-grabbers (which is understandable...a company IS supposed to make money).  I dunno, I'm just irked because those two are my favourites   I wouldn't be as uptight about it if Pinkie or Dashie were my favourites lol.

I love these! Very cute! My only sadness is that Rarity and AJ aren't represented. Rarity is my favorite pony, and AJ is my sister's! Not gonna lie, pretty unimpressed that two brief background characters get more merch than two MAIN characters do ...

[Galactica]

Aww they look cute! I'm sure they will make AJ & Rarity- probably release fan character + main 6 characters in lots like the funko vinyls...

[Pinecone]

I wish they'd come up with new background characters to make, if they're going to skip main characters. Those two are way over used, and it's getting boring.  I'm not sure who else to use though...maybe Bon Bon? She's got a cute design.

Cool! Thanks for the info!

I love Pop! Vinyl and the pony prototypes look adorable.
I have a litle Pop! Gandalf and would be very interested in Pop! Ponies

I'm tired of this trend as well.
I think it's absolutely understandable that they are producing the fan favorite BG ponies as well, but to switch two of the main characters with them?! That makes me a little angry.
AJ and Rarity are my favorites and I get so bored with all the "let's only make merch of the Brony favorites, the other fans can have the endless stream of Main Six brushies".

Wasn't this incarnation of MLP all about the theme that "there are many ways to be a girl"? Well, obviously fashion/creativity and farm work/family oriented stuff are not so much desired in the line-up anymore

I hope they'll make a second line that will include Rarity and AJ (just like I hope Nici will make a second line that will include Fluttershy, Rarity and AJ)

[ShortyBoo]

I'll definitely have to grab Fluttershy. I'll likely also grab Drama Pony just because I already have the SDCC version and the Funko vinyl and I'm planning on getting the brushable once it's released.

I saw some Adventure Time Pop! figures in the toy fair pics and I want either Jake or Marceline. I'm sad there's no Princess Bubblegum, though.

How much do these figures normally go for and where can I likely find them for the least amount of money? I know Barnes & Noble carries some of these, but they seem to like over-pricing everything, same with Hot Topic.

[MilkyTaroMochi]

Not gonna lie, I'm getting annoyed at how Rarity and Applejack always seems to get the short-end of the stick compared to the other four mane girls as well. I get that the other four are really popular, same with DJ Pon-3 and Ditzy, but really? They couldn't just have added the other mane 2 in, and maybe pull a "chase" with Ditzy and/or DJ Pon-3 (as annoying that would be)?

I do think the Pop! figures are cute, and I'd likely get the Ditzy and/or Twilight figures. And I do look forward to seeing if/how they release other MLP characters like this.

[ShortyBoo]

I'm surprised there's a Fluttershy. She gets left out of stuff almost as often as Rarity and Applejack.

I'm surprised she is included too, but in a way I'm not since I know she has more fans than Applejack and Rarity. But it is a bummer that Fluttershy also gets left out as well, even though you do see toys and merchandise of her more often.

And I think unless you go online, Barnes & Noble and Hot Topic are the best/easiest places to get them. I think maybe GameStop sometimes have Funko Pop! figures, but I doubt they'd get in MLP ones.

I think they're usually around the $10 mark in the US? No idea where you could get them, in a physical store though. Sorry.

For any Australians: In Australia they retail for around $15 and I've seen them on PopCultcha.com, Minotaur in Melbourne, Toys R Us has had some of the Marvel ones, a South Australian based shop named Kollectable Kaos gets them. And Mighty Ape has them too, not sure where they are based.
