Well I got SA right...He actually resembles the show version of crystal SA. PC on the other hand is probably gonna be amazing in person. You can see that she is a very light shade of pink and appears to be almost see-through. Cant wait to get these. Dont know when I'm gonna order though.. :stitch:

Love them. Shining Armor has a pretty great expression on his face. I think Dorian is right - Cadence is going to look pinker in person than in that photo, in which she looks orange almost. I think she'll look better with true light. What a great sculpt on these.

ooooo! they're cute! can't wait to get my hands on them

Postby **Birdeh** » Tue Mar 10, 2015 9:54 pm

I really feel they captured the feel of the characters properly. c:

Postby **frankusho** » Tue Mar 10, 2015 10:09 pm

Shining Armor looks smooth. Cadence looks too intense. Does that mean I still want them?.. OF COURSE lol

Postby **XXDCXBATMAN** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 12:01 am

I love SA, he looks great to me. But Cadence looks way off to me. Way to dark.

Postby **Dark69** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 3:29 am

I love them! Hope spike pop's up soon.

Postby **Galacticat** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 2:10 pm

I wish the glitters had been brighter- maybe they should have experimented with colors before casting? Cadence looks too dark as does Shining Armor.

Interesting that we haven't seen a Spike proto but we saw him at toy fair.

Woah that Cadence proto is really cool!! Looks like a different pony almost!

Postby **Arloe8** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 4:59 pm

Congrats Carol!! Both protos really look good! Cannot wait for a complete updated picture.

Excuse my pony ignorance, but who should they be displayed with ?

She should go up top with the princesses...he could go up there as he is her husband, however I think you should dedicate a shelf to male ponies :stitch:

Him, Big Mc, Dr. Whooves, Discord and eventually Spike!

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 5:08 pm

What about Shining Armor ?

Postby **Arloe8** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 5:10 pm

Edited the first post

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 5:13 pm

Thanks for the info !

Yeah Princesses should be together and Shining Armor next to Cadence since they are married and Twilight Sparkle next to Shining Armor since that is her older brother.

Postby **frankusho** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 7:48 pm

Freakin' awesome Carol! Congrats!!!

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 8:16 pm

I thought i was putting all the boys together ?

Postby **Birdeh** » Wed Mar 11, 2015 8:24 pm

idk if it helps you but my top shelf is going to look like this (from left to right as if I'm looking at the shelf)

Celestia, Twilight, Shining, Cadence, Luna.

reasoning being Celestia is the 'first' princess. She's also the one who raises the sun. And Twilight goes next because she's Celestia's prodigy. Shining goes in the middle because he's a boy, and because that puts him between Cadence (his wife) and Twily (his sister). Luna goes last because she raises the moon, the 'end' to the day (or in this case, my shelf)

also with my setup it fits exactly five to a shelf so it's perfect for the whole royal family c:

Here is what it looks like without Shining & Cadence...suggestions on groupings by shelves ?

Good thing you don't have to look at my shelves. I have no room to be that organized!

Alright Carol I have an idea for you! Hmm well I'm trying but its hard because you can only fit a few across on your shelf like only four right? Heres a few ideas I had for you.

Top: (Left to Right) Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, Twilight (Royals)
2nd: Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack (Rest of Mane 6)
3rd Trixie, Discord, Spitfire, Daring Do, Big Mac (Villians, and extras, make sure Big Mac is under Applejack since hes her brother)
4th: DJ-PON3, Octavia, Derpy (Start Background Mane 6)
Bottom: Dr. Whooves, Sweetie Drops, Lyra (Rest of Background Mane 6)

Otherwise here is a few tips/info
Mane 6 are the main characters in the show Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity
Big Mac is Applejacks Brother and Shining Armor is Twilights Brother
Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor and Twilight are all Royals
Celestia and Luna are sisters and the rulers of Equestria
Shining Armor and Cadence are married and rule the crystal empire (where the crystal ponies live!)
Trixie and Discord are villians
Daring Do is a Indiana Jones kinda pony and Rainbow Dash is obsessed with her, Rainbow Dash is obsessed also with the wonderbolts who Spitfire is the leader of she want to be a part of them
DJ-Pon3 and Octavia are fan favorites and often paired together because of their music and what not
Lyra and Sweetie Drops also known as Bon Bon form LyraBon because they are always together
Derpy and Dr. Whooves are also a fan pairing and along with LyraBon and Dj/Octavia they form the background Mane 6 (fan stuff)
Discord and Fluttershy are close friends
Rest of mane 6 get irritated by Discord easily
Trixie and Twilight are enemies/ arch nemesis kinda deal

Omg carol. Thank you so much for sharing the pics. In this case the color protos are much cooler than the white protos. I love them.

Such a gorgeous collection! I have always liked the white protos better personally, but they are all pretty cool.

I think my daughter would cry if she saw your collection! She knows there are a lot of ponies, but if she sees your's then I'll definitely go broke because she'll want her collection to look just like yours! Awesome awesome collection! Heck I'm not even the one that collects the ponies and I'm jealous lol

Yay! Thanks for posting that- just ran to HT and ordered mine! (I hope they don't botch my order for the 4th time, lol

Same here! I also had 15% off on top of that, so I got the two of them for just a little over $11 each. $\:D/$

Nice deal.

Postby **Galacticat** » Tue Mar 17, 2015 12:44 pm

So no sign of Spike yet? Did Gemini ever get his prototype yet, or was it just Shining Armor and Cadence that sold for $350 each?

He is a bit of an oddball figure- maybe he will be a SDCC exclusive or something (I hope not- unless they have huge quantities of him like the Derpy and Rainbow figures)

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Tue Mar 17, 2015 12:52 pm

Haven't seen Spike show up yet.

Postby **Galacticat** » Tue Mar 17, 2015 1:02 pm

Hmmm- the more I think about it, the more I am suspecting he may be a SDCC exclusive- since Funko seems to like to release the ponies in sets- and he doesn't seem to fit in.

Postby **Birdeh** » Tue Mar 17, 2015 6:09 pm

Maybe this means they're holding out on other small molds and plan on throwing them all out together, too!

It would be interesting if they had another small mold they were planning on releasing with Spike- I wonder who that would be? Gummy maybe?

That'd be super rad. Or any of the other pets, too.

Excuse my ignorance, but Spike is a baby dragon ? Someone's pet ?

He is a baby dragon and I think he's Twilight Sparkle's pet.
