Update On The G1 Action Vinyls!

[Foxtale]

These are cute! looks like Firefly has her wings on backwards though:lol:

Anyone know if there is only these coming out? I would love to see Bowtie and Glory as well...

Glory is one of the other purple unicorns. I believe Fox Tails confirmed the identities.

Glory is in fact one of the original "revealed" set of ponies.

They did hint that there would be a few "Chase" characters that are not pictured in the original prototypes.

Hopefully we get an update soon. I hope they don't miss the Christmas season so they do well... that way we will see more in the future. ;D

I'm curious to see who the chase figures are. Who do you think they'll be?

Did you guys see the website updated to show they are pushed back til February? Hopefully no later than that. 3 more months!? I wonder why.

bummer, i was hoping any day now

I really hope it's because they're making more characters and further refining the design.

Come on.  G1 fans need a bone here.

Well so much for Christmas shopping!    A pre-order slip is just not the same kind of impact for a gift, you know?

Ugh I wonder why they are taking so long but it better be due to QC and designs

I second this.

Hello Everyone! I figured I would reply to this thread but I have news from the Toy Fair.

Accordingly the figures are finally coming to us in June of 2017 after many snags in production and the approval from Hasbro. All the items at their booth are pre-production runs instead of painted prototypes.

Hot Topic is a confirmed retailer and has purchased a variety of the special chase items for their Blind Boxes.

The ponies that were revealed before are still the only ones being produced but the chase figures have been revealed. They are glow in the dark, clear with glitter or black with colored manes.

Here are some additional images I took at the booth:

Let me know if you have any questions. I have some more pictures I haven't posted yet if someone wants to see something specific.

Thanks for the update, Foxtale!

Awww yeeeah, Glory is white now instead of lavender!   I'm digging the crystal variants too.

GLOW IN THE DARK oh man!! Now I kind of want one!! @_@ OH NO! I'm gonna have to see if my preorder is still active, given that it's been a literal year...

Where did you pre-order from?

I tried to get the information as to which retailers bought which chase figures but the guy I was talking to wasn't 100% sure (even though he was super sweet and informative). Hopefully the glitter ones are in all the variations as well as the glow one.

Gypsy! She was running preorders through her online shop, but this was like ... at least a year ago, when they were first announced to be 'coming to stores soon!', which was not the case. She gave the buyers several opportunities to cancel our preorders, when it became obvious that three months was gonna stretch into six, then into indefinite, but I kept holding on! So I will keep an eager ear out for updates from her!

Do I spy Lofty? Or is the all yellow just a variant?

I hafta admit, I don't understand why there was only one pegasus.

I believe the yellow is the GLow in the Dark version of Firefily. Unfortunately the only pegasus right now is Firefly. Hopefully if we give buy enough they will make more! If i recall Lofty is in the Hasbro g1 catalog so she might make an appearance. I think they just went with the ones that were prominent thus far in the G1 items.
