So I finally got my pony room painted and some shelves for things. The Funko area was the first thing I set up!

I sold most of my mystery minis, just kept the two fake ones from China, the two official GITD ones and glitter Discord because I love that pose.

Good news for those of you that collect Hasbro's MLP stuff - Target Cartwheel offers 25% this week.

The bad news, it doesn't apply to Power Ponies (I tried and had no Cartwheel savings from it).

I have one question: What is the obsession with Flutterbat? She was in one episode for, like, a minute tops and I just don't get why people like her so much...it makes no sense.

So a while ago a friend of mine got a glitter Funko Rarity from Walmart. I've never seen Rarity at Walmart though, just always DJ Pon-3, Derpy and Bon Bon. Has anyone else ever seen Rarity sold at a Walmart? I'm just curious.

WickedWonderland wrote:I have one question: What is the obsession with Flutterbat? She was in one episode for, like, a minute tops and I just don't get why people like her so much...it makes no sense.

I'm with you on this. Personally, the episode she appeared in is one of my least favorites. Then again, I'm also not a Fluttershy fan at all so that sorta contributes to me not understanding the Flutterbat hype.

All I can guess is that her design was somewhat interesting? I dunno, I'd probably like the concept more if they had done more with it in the show (I know there's an arc about her in the comics, which I have, but haven't read yet). It was silly to me that they did that and never touched on the bat thing again.

Also, this is the same fandom that obsesses over background ponies that show up once or twice and sometimes don't even talk. lol

I don't guess anyone has a glitter Scootaloo they would like to trade for a glitter Sweetie Bell do they? I accidentally won 2 of her on ebay. :(

I've not personally seen one in stores, but they do sell most of the ponies online, including Rarity. It's possible it was an online return. It may be sacrilegious to say it here, but there are some people who don't like the glitter ponies and would return them if they received one. lol

I didn't think of that, you're probably right!

Oh yeah, I know quite a few people who will return or sell a glitter variant that they get. I have a friend on Instagram who has gotten two glitters from online ordering and she traded them both to me for the regular variants because she didn't want to go down that dark road. lol

STILL no Sweetie Belle. I think I may just ask for her for my b-day.

I did get unmasked Cap' America and GITD Hulk in one run today though, which is pretty cool.

I didn't realize the CMCs were out! Just ordered the set for me and my daughter.

So...what's the deal with Princess Luna? I see her selling for outrageous costs. Has she already had her mainstream release or has she only come out in the Hot Topic pre-release?

Also, I'm not a fan of the glittery ponies so if I get any glittery CMCs I'll happily trade them to someone for something. I have a glittery Fluttershy that I got from Amazon one time and she's really just sitting around still in the box. I was a bit aggravated as I had to go out and order another Fluttershy.

She has only hit Hot Topic- she sold out fairly quickly. Everytime she is restocked she resells again.

I think there will eventually be more. I'm not sure why the stock isn't keeping up with demand but have some theories:
1) she is just way way way more popular than anticipated
2) A TON of the Luna and Celestia ponies had their tails fall out during transport or upon opening. It could be that they are modifying the design before another mass release. Sending something back into production can take a LONG time...

I would happily trade a regular version of Apple Bloom or Scootaloo if you happen to get a glitter of them ;-)

I agree, it seems that most Luna figures are in high demand so likely supply couldn't keep up with demand. When the HTs near me got her in, she sold out within the week and then there was the issue with the tails and some wings breaking. I wouldn't be surprised either if the Luna and Celestia show up at BN with a slightly different design.

Just FYI guys the Metallic Rainbow Dash Hikari- sold out on pre-orders almost instantly on Entertainment Earth- but then they restocked at some point and I think nobody noticed because they are still in stock! Get yours quick before equestriadaily catches wind! An edition size of 250 is ridiculously low-

The one in the lower left corner is my favorite! I'll be getting the metallic one, too. I would love to get at least three of these variants, but realistically... I dunno. Depends on how easy they are to get from here on out.

I'm also really curious as to whether or not we'll see other MLP characters as Hikari figures.

That one is my favorite. I'm holding out for her too. I can really only afford one figure of her. So I hope I can get one of the gradient ones.

If Rainbow Dash does well enough to get more MLP Hikari figures I want Luna, Derpy and Chrysalis.

I haven't received my Cutie Mark Crusaders yet but I did receive a Princess Celestia I ordered from Amazon for $20. Unfortunately, I frustratingly got the translucent/ sparkly version instead of the version that actually looks like the characters. This has happened to me twice now and I'm about to stop ordering these things sight unseen. Fortunately, it looks like I can return it to Amazon if I can't find anyone else that wants it.

I hope my CMCs are the normal, reasonably colored figures.

I think I posted this the last time you mentioned it but I'd be willing to trade you for a glitter Scootaloo and/or Apple Bloom if you happen to get one ;) its driving me crazy that I can't find them.

That's pretty lucky that you've gotten 2 glitters from single orders (or unlucky, since you don't want that version).If you do keep ordering ponies sight unseen, there are always collectors on this forum that would be willing to trade for them :)

Birdeh wrote:I would really like more MLP Hikari figures. Personally, I'd like AJ and Fluttershy.

I don't collect Hikari because I'm not really a fan of how they look but I'd love to see Funko make other characters since I think the Rainbow Dash one is the best looking Hikari.

There was a post made on the MLP Arena pointing out the flaws of the regular Rainbow Dash Hikari figure. Sorta has me worried, tbh. It really didn't look good.

Also, despite being frustrated over the lack of a glitter Apple Bloom in my possession, I'm ready for the next round of figures!

I just saw that post :( All I've ever heard about the Hikari line is how the quality is top notch and worth the price so seeing all those flaws was surprising. Hikari figures seem to have a standard pose except for RD so u wonder if her more intricate pose is why there are more flaws especially since most of the flaws are due to gaps in the joints...

Me too! I hate being close to having a complete set of glitters but being unable to find the ones I'm missing but I'm ready to see we're getting next

Yeah, I only have one Hikari, the Hot Topic exclusive rainbow Stay Puft and it's amazing! I took it out of the box to display this past weekend and got so many compliments on it during our housewarming. I really hope that the quality of the Rainbow Dash figures is on par, and maybe that person was just unfortunate and got the bad one in the batch. I'm hoping she can get in contact with someone from Funko about it, though.

I was going through the same thing with glitter Spitfire. Couldn't track her down anywhere, and when people were finding her in Hot Topic stores, none of the HTs around me ever got her, which is crazy considering I live near a bunch of different stores. Then I finally got her and Luna became the evasive one for a while.

I'm just curious about who will be next since the entire line up for the mystery minis was revealed already. Something tells me that Cheese Sandwich and Maud will be next. :)

I hope my CMCs are the normal, reasonably colored figures.


Wow, lucky! I'd be happy to trade you a regular Celestia for your glitter one too :D

I do love Hikaris- I hope they do more characters! It will probably depend though on how well RD sells-

Re the post on the Arena- I am not expecting a 100% perfect figure here- my Hikaris are very nice but not 100% flawless (I noticed some paint scrapes on my Monkey King and Freddy when out of the box). But I buy hand-finished dolls all the time (from Integrity and Sybarite) and they often have little things here and there so I am not expecting 100% perfection here, just nice quality.

Honestly I don't see a lot wrong with the Dash on the Arena -some of the gaps may be unavoidable due to the complicated design and multiple pieces. I don't know that the line on the eye is a misprint either. Maybe I am less picky or something but I think she looks pretty cool.

I can't wait to add ponies to my Hikari collection !!!
