MLP Series 3 Mystery Mini Discussion

Postby **frankusho** » Tue Sep 15, 2015 8:52 pm

Oh wow, I just noticed this cameo out! I'm excited each one is 1/12. Like most of you, I'm hoping to snag a full case.

Postby **Birdeh** » Tue Sep 15, 2015 10:31 pm

I think my want list is Chrysalis and GITD Tia.

Very happy with my pulls today, i only had 2 hot cash, so I only bought 7, but I got black Luna, Shining Armour, Apple Bloom, color Cadance, color Spike, color Cheese Sandwich, and glow Celestia. All but one of the exclusives.

Postby **Kitzka** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 9:36 am

Congrats everyone!

I'm looking to only get about 3 or so of these but this set is amazing. the three i want may turn into 6....

Postby **Birdeh** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 11:25 am

I'm contemplating seeing if anyone wants to trade older exclusives for the few that I want. The old ones are taking up space in a shoe box, and then I wouldn't actually have to spend anymore money on getting new ones!

so the singles are on Hottopic.com- but not a case unless I'm looking at this wrong ? Anyone know?

Postby **missauru** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 12:34 pm

These look so much better than the original pics we saw! Thanks for sharing

Yea, all I can see on the site at this point are the singles...still really hope they add them by the case since I only have one Hot Cash coupon for in the store...

Postby **XXDCXBATMAN** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 2:18 pm

Okay, so assuming the glams are correct, Shining Armour is also exclusive, so that's 7 exclusives.

Postby **Arloe8** » Thu Sep 17, 2015 2:44 pm

Yes only 5 are repeats this series...Nightmare Moon, Queen Chrysalis and the CMC. So even the non HT cases will include 7 exclusives. All are 1:12 which can still be tricky but means eBay will be flooded. Bought 12 with hot cash and plan to trade any duplicates.

I just ordered 8 from their website, we will have to compare lists when we get them in because I'll be looking to trade any doubles too.

My store got a case in, I tried my luck with the one Hot Cash coupon I did have, only got one (black Maud) that I didn't really want.

Celestia has a really great glow to her.

Postby **Galacticat** » Fri Sep 18, 2015 3:08 pm

Aw- against my better judgment I ordered 14 using the hotcash code.

I was hoping they'd have a case, since the last time I ordered a case's "worth" they send me a bunch of individuals and I expect the same now. I also had bought a case from EE (since they are different) but those appear to be back-ordered still.

Hopefully I can trade the duplicates !!!!

Galacticat wrote:Egads- I don't have Hotcash to spend (that I have kept track of at any rate) so 12x 8.50 = $102 That's a lot. Usually the case from even expensive-ish places like EE is more like $67.

I guess I'll reluctantly wait for a sale...

I ordered online and used the codes provided in the eye on the web section. Made them $51 or $4.25 a piece plus tax and had them shipped to store! I'm positive if we all bought 12 through trades everyone would have a full set.

Postby **Galacticat** » Fri Sep 18, 2015 3:46 pm

I think you are right! We can all easily get them all with swapping. And thank goodness no truly rare figures as that is always such a pain.

I am glad I got a case from each- as there are so few overlaps this time. And I am glad that both cases (hot topic and non-hot topic) have Colored Nightmare Moon and Colored Chrysalis as they will be the most popular probably.

I THINK this breakdown is correct:

Figures in all cases (overlaps)
Colored Nightmare Moon
Colored Queen Chrysalis
Colored Sweetie Belle
Colored Scootaloo
Colored Apple Bloom

HT Exclusives
Black Princess Luna
Glow Princess Celestia
Colored Princess Cadance
Black Shining Armor
Colored Spike
Black Maud Pie
Colored Cheese Sandwich

Figures NOT included in HT Cases
Colored Princess Celestia
Colored Princess Luna
Black Princess Cadance
Colored Shining Armor
Black Spike
Colored Maud Pie
Black Cheese Sandwich

I got mine today and I love them!!! Chrysalis is everything and I need a regular sized version and a glitter variant like now!

Postby **renirawr** » Sat Sep 19, 2015 2:03 pm

I went to Hot Topic today and grabbed 5 blind boxes. I shook them all a little and the ones I picked all felt the same. Thank goodness for Hot Cash, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten that many, haha.

Anyway, I got:

glow-in-the-dark Celestia
Queen Chrysalis
Luna
Nightmare Moon
Cheese Sandwich

I'm happy with all of them (especially the first two) but I'd be willing to trade Hot Topic exclusive Cheese Sandwich for Hot Topic exclusive Spike.

Postby **Birdeh** » Sat Sep 19, 2015 4:34 pm

Would anyone be willing to trade older gen pony minis for newer ones?

Postby **Galacticat** » Sat Sep 19, 2015 7:31 pm

Maybe someone on the MLP arena? I think most of the people here have all of them already but I guess I could be wrong.

I'm super excited- mine just shipped from HT! I Hope I don't get too many repeats.. I can't say enough how relieved I am that ALL the figures are 1/12

If you would happen to have show colors Fluttershy or Spitfire?

Postby **renirawr** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 12:55 pm

Still so happy with what I got from HT over the weekend! I also took some comparison pictures. It still bothers me a little just how big Luna's wings are, but all of the mystery minis look great. I also noticed the slight difference in body type between Luna and Nightmare Moon, which is some awesome attention to detail! I wonder if the regular Nightmare Moon vinyl (assuming we get one) will be taller than Luna?

Completed my set today I really love series 3! Also I finally got a proper set up for my minis the glow and glitter ones not pictured they are on a non complete shelf right now

Postby **Galacticat** » Tue Sep 22, 2015 4:11 pm

I read somewhere that the Funko Mystery Mini lines have been very very successful for Funko.

I hope that this doesn't mean they are going to focus on minis and no more pony vinyls ? This series was the first that started with minis first, which is why I worry.

Postby **AquaticNeon** » Wed Sep 23, 2015 12:49 am

Yea what worries me is the Mystery Mini prototypes... man I would be crushed if I didn't get a full sized Chrysalis..

Postby **beckysaurus** » Wed Sep 23, 2015 1:04 am

I wouldn't be worried about it.

Postby **wenhol8710** » Wed Sep 23, 2015 5:26 pm

Picked up my online order of the minis...only need Spike and Apple Bloom to complete the set, hopefully I'll be able to trade my two doubles for them.

Postby **AquaticNeon** » Thu Sep 24, 2015 3:07 pm

Looking to trade CMC minis for Nightmare Moon, Colored Spike, Black Luna, Colored Luna (trading for friends)

Postby **Kitzka** » Thu Sep 24, 2015 4:07 pm

Aquatic there is a trade/sales section to the forum. this area is for discussion.

Postby **Mori_LeStrange** » Fri Sep 25, 2015 11:16 pm

I picked up a box of these at my Hot Topic. They all look great except my Nightmare Moon's horn was broken. It was easy enough to fix though.

I can't wait to see the full size versions of Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis and Cheese Sandwich. The minis look great.

Now, I just need to find 6 spare Spikes. I want to customize them to look like the dragons that came with the U.K G1 princess ponies.

Postby **Galacticat** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 12:49 pm

I'm so thrilled! I got all the ones from Hot Topic except black Maud- LOVE THEM SO MUCH! [b]
I'm sure I won't have too many problems swapping for her....

Now to wait for my back-ordered EE case! I didn't get Nightmare Moon in my Hot Topic assortment, but since she comes in both assortments I'm not too worried.

I really love how Chrysalis and Celestia look- and the CMCs are so much cuter in this size!!! (In my opinion). I LOVE that they are doing more colored versions- I like them so much more even though I realize they are the same as the big ones... I kinda hope they go back and do colored versions of prior releases at some point

These are actually just my extras- but they look so cute I decided to share

As Lara posted just before you, there's a trades/sales forum in a separate part of the board. This thread is for discussion only.

Postby **Galacticat** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 1:06 pm

Oh okay- sorry about that- edited!

I never think to look over there frankly

Postby **brand42** » Mon Oct 05, 2015 9:34 pm

2 of my local TRU's got in series 3 (7.99 each) and so I now have show colors Celestia, Luna, Shining Armor and Maud.

Finally got my EE (non-HT) box today! So excited to open them all!!!!

Postby **wenhol8710** » Thu Oct 08, 2015 7:10 pm

Got in Spike from eBay, noticed we're missing Dr. Hooves but besides that, we're complete on these guys.

Looks like you have all the characters except Whooves- just missing some of the color alts (but maybe you don't care about those?)

Postby **GameOfWhooves** » Sun Oct 11, 2015 11:57 pm

I got a complete set of the HT ones, now to find the non-exclusive ones.
