I wonder what the general reaction to her is on more Brony centric forums is.  Because in all honesty, I was expecting a g4 fan favourite, so that isn't my beef.  My problem is that you can already buy her, so how is she an exclusive figure? Glitter doesn't automatically make something extra special.

People over at EQD seem to love her. I don't think anyone needs to hope that she will not be expensive. XP

I love it. I love Vinyl Scratch and I think it's awesome they're making figures of her.... but it's totally not worth the money. Maybe 30 bucks at the most.
Especially since Funko is gonna make one that will be way cheaper and will look very similar.

I love Vinyl, but I'm really not digging this figure. I was hoping for something more for the 30th Anniversary, G4 or otherwise...

I kinda expected that.... Looks like Hasbro wins again.

Hasbro gets all the money and a sold out 'exclusive', the brony community gets to pat themselves on the back for how well the company listens to their demands, and the long-time collectors get to grumble and keep our money in our pockets...

A win-win situation for everyone except the long time collectors. As usual.
Thank you Thimble for my amazingly cute avatar!

I think she is kinda cute, but a little tacky...
I have already bought a pre-order for her though, I am uber excited to see her in person!  :)

A few people do... most reactions seem to be "that looks sort of weird" or "lol 'adult collectible'." It's not overtly negative, but nor is it a slam dunk by any means.

It doesn't hurt that bronies tend to have little to no idea of what's already been announced (or even found in stores). Every time there's a new photo of the Elements of Harmony blindbag Fluttershy, for example, a new batch of people get surprised. Once photos do come out of the Funko figure, a lot of people are going to make the comparison for themselves instead of thinking this is the first time any figure ever made has had molded hair.

sadly, that's what I see as well Dragonflitter

in the past Hasbro would occasionally listen to long-time collectors, but only to a degree and would usually put their own spin on it so that we were left going well, *technically* that's what we asked for, but not really

since FiM, it seems like Hasbro has been bending over backwards for the bronies and practically ignoring the collectors. The Fair is still dominated by collectors of G1-G3 (though most of us love G4s just as much), and Hasbro should have noticed that there was a HUGE exodus after last year's exclusive sold out. Those people were not there to support Hasbro or MLP; they just wanted a certain gray pony

Yeah, it seems to be either "OmG, must have her!! Awesome SDCC exclusive!" or "Eh, i'll wait for the Funko version / I can get a more show accurate custom figure for that price or cheaper / adult collectible? Lol ." from what I've read on EqD.
I sorta don't think she would sell out quite as fast as Ditzy Doo did last year, going by general reactions to the reveal.
Thank you so much for the adoptable, Corona! :D

It's interesting that it's not marketed as a toy, but they're still careful to round off all the sharp points on her hair.

This is exactly how I feel. I like her a lot but not at that price and certainly not at any kind of inflated after market price. I can just get the Funko one and add glitter for much less. I would have preferred a brushable FS DJ Pon3 like last year's Bubble Butt at the same price as last year.

I think Hasbro thinks it does. :P
