Any other ponies to get the Swarvoski Crystal treatment?

So far, there are two toys that exist that utilizes Swarvoski Crystals.

 

1) Vinyl Scratch AKA DJ Pon-3(Which I got 2 at Comic-Con.  One for me, one for a older relative)

 

2) Princess Twilight Sparkle(I already ordered it)

 

Will there be any other Pony toys that get the Swarvoski Crystal theme like Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Queen Chrysalis?

DJ Pon-3's SDCC exclusive status definitely added to its appeal in addition to the character and Swarvoski connection. It will be interesting to see if the Twilight Sparkle one will sell as well. I think that will be the ultimate deciding factor as to the future of the line. Personally, I don't see it happening at this point. Though I did a lot to get my DJ Pon-3 while at Comic Con and cherish it, Funko's vinyl line is the best collector series.

My wife dealt with Swarvoski when she was a buyer for a jewelry supply outfit several years ago. They're... aggressive. Once they think they're 'in', they don't give up until the market is saturated with their little pieces of cut leaded glass with extremely high price tags attached.

 

So, even if these items fail to find the market, there will be other types of Swarvoski Pony stuff until *Swarvoski* is convinced there isn't a market for it. Which will take a year or two. Unless these things do sell, in which case there will be several more using the same form factor to follow. Normally I'd say the next most likely one would be Rarity or Cadence, with the implied gem connections, but since we've already gotten a unicorn and an alicorn, I honestly think it will be a pegasi model. Rainbow Dash might be too ambitious due to the high color count, so Fluttershy maybe? Or another secondary character like Vinyl Scratch?
