Well I hope it doesn't hurt their marketing too much-  I'm sure they must be a bit miffed at whoever it was that leaked the picture before the press date. 

I'm pretty miffed at myself for going ahead and preordering with Toywiz.  I noticed they decreased the price somewhat.  I guess I'm just concerned that they'll sell out, and I definitely want the entire box at once so I don't have to search through the stores for each one.  I sure wish it were easier to get the box somewhere else.

Wonder if Hot Topic will have its own exclusive colored again-  probably...
I think so , and buying them during hot cash sale was the cheapest or me last time :)

I got this mail in the Mailbox today.

Hi there,

I am contacting your site from the Funko headquarters in regards to your post about the My Little Pony Mystery Mini Series:
http://www.mlpmerch.com/2014/06/funko-mystery-mini-figures-series-2.html

This series has not yet been released and the images are not yet approved by the licensor. We please ask that you could take down any posts containing images of unreleased content. Would you be able to direct us to where these images were found? We are currently trying to track down any information on this issue. We appreciate your cooperation.

Best Regards,

Madeline Salazar | Social Media and Public Relations Assistant | Funko LLC

I already took down our article. Hope EQD will do to.

They only removed the photo from theirs. The article is still up.
Not much they can do about it now since it's already been on the internet for some time.

Its also still an active discussion...along the picture on the actual Funko forum which is live linked to the Funko website and frequented by Funko staff. Seems odd they have only asked a few blogs to take it down. And its way too late to do much about it.

They're a teeny company- so probably they don't have someone who can comb all the pony sites (assuming they even have access to them) and ask the boards to take the pictures down.

I suspect if they knew how much the pix had already been circulated, they'd give up. 

Oh I understand how small they are and as someone who works with product launches on occasion I cant imagine how upsetting something like this must be. We had an internal investigation once over a picture of a new sports shoe leaking and it was a nightmare - turned out it was a leak by a retailer and not our little company but still pretty intense when everyone was hauled in and the investigation went on. 

My comment was more that I thought it odd they were contacted the odd pony blog or two, while the picture and the thread discussion stayed live on the actual Funko forum itself. One which is checked by Funko staff - you would think perhaps they would have caught started there.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!
I love Loa more than PonyLady!

Black Discord and Big Macintosh are the ones with doubles, those are 2/12 and the rest are 1/12.

Aww, they did that weird thing with AJ's eyes...Last wave, it was Pinkie Pie. For some reason, her eyes were much skinnier and longer than the others, and it just looks weird. That stops me from really liking Pinkie. I'm bummed they did that to AJ too though, since she's my favorite character :( Daring Do's eyes are perfectly round, so I don't see why they couldn't make AJ like that as well.

*rubs hands together* I wish I could buy these at HT with my Hot Cash in July. That would have been perfect!

Wonder if Hot Topic will have its own exclusive colored again-  probably...

I'm wondering if I should wait and see, or just go ahead and get a box.  Last year I wish I had waited for the Hot Topic releases so I could get the colored ones and not have to hunt.

I have 7 Hot Cash right now but they have to be used in July. I don't know what to buy other than MLP and I don't collect the big Funkos!

hmmm really only want twilight. and maybe big mac for a custom, so i'll wait till they hit stores.
there are so many of the first wave at B&N i'm surprised they haven't discounted them yet.
