ManaMinori 4,145 April 30, 2016 Share April 30, 2016 Funko has dropped production on their mlp vinyl pony line. No more full sized vinyls, or pocket pops, POPS! mystery mini's. How does this make you guys feel? Did you collect the Funko ponies? Have a favorite? Been waiting for a certain pony to get made? A petition has been started, but slow to get signatures, unfortunately. It's up to the bronies to save the pony FUNKO figures, since no one else will! Please SIGN the petition, and SHARE it on social media, pony forums, anywhere and everywhere! https://www.change.org/p/funko-bring-back-the-funko-my-little-pony-vinyl-collectible-line Let's make a difference and get the pony FUNKO's brought back! 3 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlitterFlutter 1,583 April 30, 2016 Share April 30, 2016 if they can make their money talk when pony is in a pinch, it should Right but they are not selling, my local hot topic has had them forever and they keep going on sale. The truth is 2000 people is not that many to a huge company like them. and 888 is even less. If people really did care about these things, then they should of bought them, apparently they did not. 2 Credit to Kiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302 April 30, 2016 Share April 30, 2016 The Rainbow Dash Funko and Funko POP! figures both occupy my Rainbow Dashrine, and the Funko Daring Do figure is on its way. The only other figure I'd want to own is the Funko Scootaloo. For the time being, People can still find the figures on the likes of Amazon, Hot Topic, and eBay.

El Duderino 879 April 30, 2016 Share April 30, 2016 When I found out about this I immediately got Dr Hooves and Daring Do figures. I've never been one to buy a lot of pony merch, but I've always had an eye on the funko figures. I don't think that a petition would work. Companies don't normally listen to petitions, and a lack of sales may not be the only reason they are discontinuing the mlp figures. Either way, 2000 people is not enough to convince a big company like funko. Even if there is a market for these, funko obviously has decided it is not worth their resources. 2 My ponysona/OC: https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/treble-r8882 Check out my Soundcloud too: https://soundcloud.com/colton-paul-crawford DeviantArt: http://scottish-bastard.deviantart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detritus 258 April 30, 2016 Share April 30, 2016 I never bought any of them, but still, I'm disappointed to see them go. They were probably the most show-accurate figures available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion 783 April 30, 2016 Share April 30, 2016 Ugh... They were never available in my country and ordering them online was far too expensive for me... Now I'll never get a chance to buy any of them, I bet the prices will go up once the line discontinues. click here! ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gestum 2,493 April 30, 2016 Share April 30, 2016 Well, I don't collect toys so I couldn't care less about this. Also, I doubt that the petition will do anything. 2000 people isn't really enough to continue making them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesme Rize 15,683 April 30, 2016 Share April 30, 2016 I was never interested in them and i think 2000 people isn't nearly enough for Hasbro to care about that. I am not even sure 20000 people would be enough. 2 My OC Mesme Rize: >https://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/mesme-rize-r8777 Thank you Randimaxis for this Wonderful Avatar.

Sunset188 193 May 1, 2016 Share May 1, 2016 It's too bad, I always liked these figures for their sculpting and show accuracy. I have the entire collection and I'm pretty happy with all the characters they made. I was only hoping we could get a Starlight Glimmer oh well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarity Is Best Pony 634 May 1, 2016 Share May 1, 2016 They made almost all of the notable characters so I can't say I'm surprised they are ceasing production. However I'm not to happy about as I really enjoyed buying them and I was never able to purchase Luna or Celestia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarfootWillie 383 May 1, 2016 Share May 1, 2016 Time to swipe them up while I can. Hope I can still find Vinyl and Octavia I got Maud, Celestia, and a black-and-green Spike thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Letter 1,832 May 1, 2016 Share May 1, 2016 (edited) That's unfortunate that we'll never have Cheerilee and had Cheese Sandwich and Maud as two of the last ones, two I didn't even want really. Oh well. I think it was a good line of figures. Oh, and what happened to Nightmare Moon and Chrysalis? Were they cancelled? Edited May 1, 2016 by Silver Letter Silver Letter!!!

FlutteringDweamz 2,086 May 1, 2016 Share May 1, 2016 Thats sad. My friend really liked the funkos, too... Aka "LadyPKchu". I changed my name again cuz lately fluttershy has been more my favorite pony :3 I like her innocence, and I think I may get active in the fluttershy fan club. I really like a lot of the other main 6 too though. I'm also a FlutterDash supporter. I still love Korrina from pokemon a lot and plan on keeping my Korrina profile for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinitron Keys 89 May 1, 2016 Share May 1, 2016 I may pick these up to take scans; if I could take 3d scans of these I could probably make custom figures in poses that haven't even been mass produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whirlwind 1,059 May 3, 2016 Share May 3, 2016 I have 4 Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, and Spitfire I think it's a bummer they dropped it They were very show accurate. The only pony I wish they could have made, was Soarin "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlikeable Pony 2,698 May 4, 2016 Share May 4, 2016 Petition? Man, SALES are the real petition, not names on a list. Names on a list mean nothing, as they aren't money. Money and sales? that's basically names on a list except with MONEY flowing into their coffers. Just goes to show, the Brony ride and FIM meme is done for: in the past these things would sell because FIM was still a meme and the brony fandom was still huge and rolling with momentum. Now, the meme's dead and these things aren't huge and celebrated like they were in the past (OH CRAP?! Did you see?! They're making stuff for BRONIES! we matter! Lets all go out and buy them and talk about them!). The comic's sales have crashed as bronies stopped caring, Funko toys no longer sell, and Brony merch just isn't going like it used to. The only stuff that sells now is stuff that the target audience Likes BUT that bronies might also purchase, like the minis or collection line of toys (Like flim and flam, ect.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuffedJunction 12 May 5, 2016 Share May 5, 2016 I guess it's time to buy a few for my personal collection, and buy a few to keep mint-in-box for resale later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
