Some more cool Taobao girls

If this isn't too horribly off topic: I just got the new transluscent Funko Dash with glitter in her body. Would that type of hard material have the same problem of glitter breaking down, or is that just a normal-pony-plastic thing?

Since the material is really different between MLP and Funko vinyls- it might be more helpful to look at 10/12 year old Funko vinyls that were cast in clear sparkly vinyl- if any such things exists.  Otherwise we'll just have to wait another 12 years and find out what happens.

Thanks, hadn't thought about that. I hope it doesn't break down like MLP glitter... I also hope/wish Hasbro could find a new way to put glitter in the pony plastic without it breaking down.

All plastics will break down over time, how that certain pony handles it only time will tell

When you just scratch slightly with your fingernail, the glitter comes off from Twilight. It's not really embedded in the resin as with the other ones.
Good thing is, now that she has been "aired" she doesn't smell anymore.

It might...it might not. Funko and their products are completely new to most MLP collectors and Funko as a company have not been about as long as the original G1s - in fact although they were launched in the late 90s, it was really not until 04/05 something like that that they started so many of their licensed products I believe, so many of their items have been about for a shorter time frame than many G3s.

It is still a flexible, mouldable plastic being used but it is of course a different manufacture process in order to ensure the ponies are solid and not hollow like regular MLPs. There is also slightly less of the mass market production about the line than regular MLP so this suggests, but does not guarantee, a better quality.

With these...I honestly think only time will tell. All plastic breaks down at the end of the day, the speed and manner of break down is what varies.

such a shame that Twilight's glitter is not imbedded.

Are we sure the glitter is not literally through the entire plastic batch? So it would of course appear to an extent on the surface but if we cut the pony in half [THEORETICALLY before anyone throws things at me] I wonder if the glitter would appear on the surface of the inside as well.

Also since the ones that are out now are early toys taken from the factory without permission, some might have been removed from the production line and sold before the resin/coating/whatever was put on the toy. So the actual toys sold in the store might have the protection that Galactica described, but Honeycomb's glitter comes off more easily.

They aren't taken without permission. That isn't how Taobao works. They are sold (By Hasbro) super cheap because they are factory flaws. Then sellers stick them on Taobao

That's our hathorcat, always dissecting ponies... *live studio audience laughter*

I wonder that too though; if someone managed to scrape some glitter off the surface of the pony if she'd still be glittery inside? (Either way I think they'd be pretty with the glitter removed from the outside. :S )

Look at those bangs! Looks a little like Shadow Dash minus the costume.
