WeLoveFine Chibi Not-Blind-Boxed Vinyls

[Judhudson]

And order for complete set has been placed.  Yay!  I hope we get a round #2 with Doctor Whooves and Trixie and Rainbow with Applejack

[Cassie85]

I'll probably have to pay more for it, but I'll be stalking the sales threads here and on ebay for miss muffin. She is insanely cute!

Chrysalis is cute

I'm so glad they listened to everyone's complaints and changed it!! Thumbs up to WLF, I never expected them to do that.

[zombienixon]

Never seen a company before that THANKED us on the page for calling out their BS.  LOL

Putting in an order for a complete set sometime today

Haha, right?  I saw my name as one of those being thanked and was like “I'm buying a full set!" They really could've ignored us, but the fact that they listened AND thanked us...crazy!  I do hope that this is the beginning of WLF taking the opinions and comments from their fans into account.

Speaking of which, in the update on the chibi figures they emailed, I noticed they mention you by name.

That was honestly such a shock to see my name and the others.  It seems like such a little thing, but taking the time to thank us like that and to go through and change how they planned on selling these figures shows that WLF is at least trying to be a better company.  I wonder if they've seen complaints about how they dealt with the very first two pony figures they did?  I honestly stopped supporting them other than the Twilight and Nightmare Moon figures I got, and I figured I'd be done with them.  This is most definitely a step in the right direction for them!

Maybe they ought to consult us fans first before they sell products.  We have good ideas!

That was why I went ahead an preordered Chrysalis - I didnt want to risk waiting out on her and she sells out beforehand (since she was originally a case-exclusive character, right?)
I have waited nearly six months for a preordered figure to get released before (*looks at Disney Elsa nendoroid*). So I think I can do it one more time, in a situation like this. xD

...I just hope they don't suffer the same fate that their Fluttery/Discord figures did, granted that figure was made of resin.

[Aquatic Neon]

Wow they really do change the rules a lot, this time for the good tho, I may have to buy me a Chrysalis because well I love her, might not be the biggest fan of the style, but I kinda need anything Chrysalis that looks better than Hasbros Celestia repaints.

[Galactica]

Chrysalis is super cute-  the only other one I really like is Discord though, so it is not really worth it to get the set I think.  They are cute but I really don't like the ones that are standing up (looking at you Pinkie and DJ)- not a big fan of the Twilight sculpt either. Or the "best pony".

Fat Rarity is kinda cute, but $15 cute? Hmmm. Flutterbat is kinda cute too-   

Glad they are offering them separate!  DEFINITELY getting Chrysalis just have to decide if I need any more than that

[HoustonCollector72]

Not surprised at all
  I did mention  before that they would do this ,and I'm pretty sure after a while they will sell them for less
they are super overpriced , for 15 they should be giving the customers a big figure like the Funko vinyls size
so won't be surprised if the go down to half price or even less around next year

[MilkyTaroMochi]

You know, i am even surprised they thought it was a good idea in the first place to have it as blind boxes. WLF clearly didn't know or understand how/why blind bags/boxes work. xD
You can't charge $15 for a blind box figure and expect people to be content with shelling out $300 just to get all eight figures (and end up with extras you may not even be able to sell off). You have to price them cheap to get people to impulse buy, and not question if "if I buy this blind bag/box for $___ , would I be okay if I don't get the character(s) I want." $15 is too much for that.

I honestly cant think of a single blind box/bag figure series that normally retails for more than $10 each, even from Japan (of course by that,  I mean if you convert their normal price from yen to US dollar, and excluding anime conventions or stores where they raise the price a lot).

I've been offline for a few days and boy am I relieved to hear that they are now offering them individually!! Flutterbat, here I come!

You know, I was pretty sure the Funko boxes were around $10, aren't they even more at Hot Topic? Or am I remembering wrong?

Hmm, I'd never order them from Hot Topic- but they are usually $8.59 there (full price) and almost always either 30% off or buy one get one half off or something.  They always got some kind of promotion...

$15 is pretty expensive for a 2" figure.  But I really like the Chrysalis

nah I dont think you are remembering wrong. I think they normally retail for a bit less than $10 (I wana say Walmart or Target sells them for around $8?) , but HT charges a few bucks more?
Plus HT does often have that BOGO 50% sale, so that does help with impulse buying. xD
