WeLoveFine Chibi Not-Blind-Boxed Vinyls

[Rainbowrific Renia]

See that's just cheating...offer a combined price for one box then One day WLF...one day you shall prove to us you are not a cold hearted commercial monster.

One day... but probably not.  Siiiigh.

I'm grateful that I'm sorta 'done' with the whole Funko/WLF blind box thing; I'd rather focus my collecting energies on the legitimate Hasbro ponies, even if they are all in the same pose.

If I happened to find one in a store, or someone was selling their extras for cheap, I'd probably pick one up; but I dunno that I "care" enough to go after them, even though Rarity is my favorite.

Does anyone else think the eye/symbol paint looks photoshopped on in these pics? I have a bad feeling that the promo photos will look much nicer/less smudgy than the in-person release pics... :/

[Bergamot]

I do t think these images are photoshopped that much. They're color balanced and cut out, but I don't think the product has been touched up! Twilight's hair looks a little rough paint-wise.

I think the eyes just look funny because they're outlined in grey. They will probably be screened on like what we see with Hasbro's ponies.


EDIT: Finally got to look at these on my computer. I believe you are right; the eyes really do look 'shopped! Perhaps it's because they're still in the prototype phase.

In saying all of this, would anyone be interested in going in on this with me?  I don't want to spend the money and then have it go to waste, or have any trouble finding people to buy the extras from me.  I'd obviously sell them at $15 each, no crazy eBay prices.

So yes, this is me announcing that I'm willing to buy TWO BOXES OF THESE if there's enough interest from you lovely Arena members to buy the extras from me AT ORIGINAL COST!

Like I said, I'm just considering it.  That's a whole lotta money to spend, but I really would like a set of these figures.

I'd totally be in for Muffin and Rarity if you did this!

I'd totally be in for Muffin and Rarity if you did this!

I have a thread set up on the For Sale board, looking for interest.  I honestly wouldn't be surprised if not too many people take this opportunity, but it's worth a shot!

Also just voiced my frustration at WLF via their Facebook post announcing these.  Looks like I'm not the only one, either!

[BerylBreeze]

They're sort of cute there's enough nitpicky details I don't like (plus the uneven odds and price) that I have no interest in them at all. It's a bit of a shame since they looked cute from the back.

NMM is the only figure I liked enough to buy from them, I guess I just don't like their preferred style.

[Bergamot]

That's awesome! Thank you for looking into interest for a group buy, MoonBeamStar!

The page on the website now includes this:
"Temporatily Unavilable : Please check back tonight for an important update!"

I don't know what "Temporatily Unavilable" means, buuut...

Perhaps WLF has heard everybody out and they will no longer be blind boxed? Hooves crossed!

[Rainbowrific Renia]

Not a problem, just trying to help my fellow Arena members out!

Ooooh, that certainly is interesting.  I'm sure they've seen all the comments on their FB page about this, so maybe they're taking some advice into consideration.  We can only hope!

edit: I left a comment saying " If you're considering making this a pick and choose deal instead of a blind box deal, you'll definitely have some very happy customers!" and the We Love Fine page liked the comment.  Maybe I'm reading into this too much, but maybe it's a sign?!

[BigBrotherPony]

NEED!!!!

[Mori_LeStrange]

These are very cute, but I really only want Pony and Chrysalis. At $15 each and not being able to choose who you get I'll have to pass on them. I hope We Love Fine listens to all the complaints and changes it.

[Pinkie21]

They're cute I guess.  But really?  Flutterbat instead of regular Fluttershy?  And no AJ?  Instead we get the two most over-used "fan favorites".  And a couple "meh" villains that I couldn't care less about.  Pass.  Well...except for maybe Pinkie. I may very well need her.  I have a special place in my heart for the Pink Menace.

[Rainbowrific Renia]

THEY LISTENED TO US!  Go check the item page now, you can buy them individually!

[BerylBreeze]

Oops, Discord is only for purchasing a whole set.

Well Chrysalis is cuter than I thought so I caved on her.

[Bergamot]

Yesss!

It looks like Discord is only available to those who buy a full case.

But that's fine! Cheeselegs looks really cool! Also, we can pick the ponies we want! Yipee.

[Rainbowrific Renia]

Did Discord sell out or did they decide not to release him?

Discord is only available if you buy the full set.

[Bow Tie]

I caved and bought a Rarity figure. She is just too cute to resist and I must have all things Rarity.
