Awesome, I think I'll wait to order them until they have the flash sale, should be soon.

Postby **nogames** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 1:23 pm

Any information about their size? Their boxes look bigger than regular ones, but will Celestia be bigger than Luna?

Postby **Dark69** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 3:33 pm

Her feet are different so I'm hopping she's taller.

Cool! Can whoever got her post pictures with other ponies so we can see the height? Where is Celestia I want to see real photos of her since we have only seen photoshoped stock images of her mold.

Postby **beckysaurus** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 5:08 pm

I have a feeling this proto went to someone who isn't on the board. Maybe someone who picked up a lot of the other recent pony protos.

You would be incorrect. :-#

Congrats! Can you please post pictures of her with other ponies how tall did they list her height? Did you get Celestia as well?

Postby **Trixt** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 5:19 pm

We will have pictures up comparing them next weekend, I had it shipped to home address and not college.

That was the only one I saw up, except for a trixie Pop proto. So unless I missed it, the color versions may still be out there.

Yaaaaay!! I'm so glad to hear it. Congrats!! Can't wait to see photos.

Postby **Trixt** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 6:23 pm

Hm, my picture is of Luna right? Because my receipt says celestpia (sorry if I spelled that wrong) I'm not too worried, she will be happy with either but now there is a bit of mystery :P

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 6:53 pm

They both look the same to me.

That's definitely Luna (wing shape and length of tail give it away). Congrats!

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 7:01 pm

I don't really know the characters but what is the physical difference between them ?

Postby **renirawr** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 7:03 pm

ShoMeNodder wrote:I don't really know the characters but what is the physical difference between them ?

Celestia is taller, her wings are bigger, tail is longer, horn is longer...

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 7:14 pm

So you wouldn't know unless you saw them side by side if you were not familiar with them ? Like one has 1 horn and the other 2 horns ?

Postby **renirawr** » Thu Oct 30, 2014 7:17 pm

Yeah, if you aren't familiar with them, I can see not being able to tell the difference. Especially without color. It took me a few moments to realize that the proto wasn't Celestia, but Luna.

I'm curious about their sizes though, since the pictures don't help at all. Luna actually looks bigger than Celestia judging from the pictures, but I doubt they would've screwed that up.

I also wonder how they compare in size to the other ponies... and where the heck am I gonna put 'em?! My Funko shelf is full! :-k

You would know because Celestia is taller, Luna is smaller.

I preordered Luna and Celestia last night, had a 15% "loyalty discount" so they ended up being about $13 each. Can't wait to get them!

Sidenote, this is the first order I've ever shipped to the store instead of to my house - anyone ever have any issues with that or does it still arrive in a reasonable amount of time?

It usually arrives to the store about a week after shipping for me.

Postby **a99kitten** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 8:13 pm

Just pre-ordered all 3! Since my name is Celeste - I **needed** Celestia

Oh and that proto is AWESOME!!! Super congrats on that score Trixt! $\:D/$ Where did you get her???

p.s. just ordered target Rainbow Dash too! Doh! I better stop reading this forum for the rest of the night!!

Nope, I've never had any big issues having items shipped to the store. I've been doing it ever since they started the free ship-to-store option. My only (small) issue is that there's sometimes a lag with them emailing you about when your item has shipped. The last few times I've gotten an email about it and immediately after got an email that my package was at the store. It's not a huge deal, but I found that weird.

Postby **TornadoTwist** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 1:31 pm

I'm such an huge fan of these 2! But I'll have to wait until they are available on European websites as well. They are really expensive to ship to NL>

Thanks! Anymore it seems like it takes HT forever to send out any kind of shipment emails, there were a few times that I didn't get one until after my order was already delivered. But if goes smoothly I'm definitely going to go this route from now on.

Postby **MHowe1980** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 1:47 am

I considered preordering, but given that I could find Rarity and Discord in store on release date (and HT took their time shipping them to me), I'll go to my local stores this Tuesday to find Luna.

Though I will say, if I do find a clear Luna, I might hold onto her in hopes that one day, I could get Tabitha to sign her. I think if I could get that done, it'd be a great thing to donate to a MLP-related charity auction one day.

Luna's sculpt is the first one that has made me chomp at the bit regarding what the preview pics look like, though I'll be sitting on a review of her until Thanksgiving, so I can review both her and Celestia..because I to, want to do a size comparison with them, and the regular-sized ponies.

By looking at clips from the show, I've felt that Luna is maybe a little taller than Big Mac, thoug Celestia I felt should be taller than even Discord, but then again, that super-long horn gives her some extra height.

It's funny how each of my last blog reviews, I seemed to predict what he next releases were (my Rarity and Discord review, I mentioned that Luna and Celestia could be next).

Though I would hope if Funko gives us a Valentine's Day release, we'd get the threesome of Cadence, Shining armor, and Chrysalis.

Postby **Birdeh** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 9:33 am

I think a Valentines day release would be really rad.

Since it's now November 4th, has anybody seen Princess Luna at their local Hot Topic? I was thinking of ordering one online but I heard that their online system sucks and I don't have a hot topic where I am at.

They don't start shipping until the release date, so no stores have her.

I called my HT to see when they'd be in stock and she told me they expect her either end of the week or next week.
