Yea I hope they keep doing more exclusives especially because Toysrus is clearancing funko ponies out and not restocking them anymore.

If anyone finds her please post details like UPC code, and where in the store was she found?

Update just got a message about who found the pony!

"I found her in the pony isle at target in Denver CO, more specifically the target on
hampden and Tamarac. It was the only one on the shelf"

It is about time. When I was at Funko HQ in May they said these were going to be a Target exclusive.

Woohoo! Back on the hunt

Found an item number for Target RD.

086-02-1816

I went directly to the toy aisle and had them look it up on their handheld inventory thing. Call your store first to see if they have it in stock before going. And target will a,ways do an unpaid hold for 24 hours. Good luck everyone! Will post photos in the Valeta.

Thanks for the number! Just checked my store number does not exist

Update 1: Okay I found it in stores they said they have them in stock all over my area, but no location number they believe it has a street date they are looking into it for me now.

Update 2: Yay I got them sounds like each store is getting about 6 in. The paint jobs are nice, full review on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3rxi2uTGUQ

Updated post guys here's the info to hunt her down, I found that each store is getting 6 in, if you don't see them out just give a store employee these numbers to find her. Here is mine I found tonight

Going hunting after work and hope to lasso one or two in case anyone needs one.
Will update after I get home if I was successful or not.

Postby **TulaBug** » Tue Oct 21, 2014 4:41 pm

Still nothing

My Target store said that Excel comes in and stocks these so the Target employees did not know much about it.

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Tue Oct 21, 2014 4:56 pm

I'll go check tomorrow but i don't have high expectations.

If I need to go back to get more, let me know. I'm happy to pick up more for anyone who wants to pay shipping. It is possible that the website will stock them, and that it may take a while To make their way across the US. I don't know if anyone went and bought out my SD stores since I bought mine.

Anyone who wants a pickup, PM me.

Postby **renirawr** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 9:37 am

I'm also willing to pick up an extra Rainbow Dash or two from Target for anyone who needs her! I'm actually heading over there today after work to get one for a friend. I checked and all of the Target's in my area (there are like... 10 of them) have her in stock. I went to the one nearest me last night and I was the first to ask about her, so they didn't even have her on the shelves yet. A worker went in the back to get her for me and he was like "You should buy the other 5!" I was tempted, just so I'd have some on hand for people who weren't able to get her. lol

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 3:59 pm

Found one ! None out on display but had them scan their stock and they had ONE in the back ! 18372

I think you're going to be completely out of room next month when you get the 6 new ones! Especially once we see how big the new two are going to be! :O Congrats on Black Rainbow Dash.

Metallic Mane Rainbow Dash Funko Toy On the Way for Hot Topic

Saw the black one, but has this turned-up yet? How many Rainbow Dash vinyl do collectors need?

Yea she is in the original post on this thread, she was found a little while back she is up for preorder on popculta and coming soon to Hot Topic, and I'm not interested in anymore Rainbows after these unless they update her pose/box such as a new vector on the packaging maybe with hair color correction (no blue in front mane) only one side for her hair coming down and a sitting, laying, or closed wing pose, etc.

Postby **renirawr** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 9:19 pm

Funko still isn't as bad as Hasbro is with Pinkie Pie. How many Pinkie Pie's do we need with different sets? lol

I'll probably pick up that metallic RD, but she's my favorite character and I pretty much have a hoard of RD toys and figures, but yeah...no more variants after this, please Funko. PLEEEEEASE!

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 9:45 pm

Be glad they aren't wearing t-shirts !

Yet!! Lol I love RD and am okay with the variants. For now

Postby **brand42** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 1:40 am

I'll get the metallic Dash over the Target one.

As for Hasbro and Pinkie Pies, we need them all!!!

Ha, even though Pinkie is my favorite, even I don't buy every release of her.

Postby **Birdeh** » Sat Oct 25, 2014 3:07 am

I'm not too keen on these remakes to be honest. The black ones especially (this includes Spitfire and Vinyl). I like the mystery minis but honestly glitter / regular / proto is about all that fits into my setup.

Target exclusive is available to order online for those who cannot find her in stores.

Not sure if that was the case when AquaticNeon posted the link since no one mentioned anything about ordering her. Here is the link again: http://www.target.com/p/my-little-pony- ... inbow+dash

Thanks Jean....Just ordered hadn't had any luck finding her in store...plus free shipping....

Other than the variants of existing ponies, how likely are we to get a new release this year? I have noticed there are usually pictures of the protos, and about a month later there are pre-orders, than a month later is the actual release date. I really hoped we would get new ones this year.

We are getting two brand new characters apparently in November not sure if the release or pre-release is November?

Hot Topics response about the Funko ponies.
"Metallic Rainbow Dash should be here by the last week of October/early November. Regarding the princesses, we will have Celestia and Luna coming around mid to late November. That's all we know for now. Thanks!"

Popcultcha lists metallic Rainbow Dash as "In Stock" (I just ordered one).

Postby **AquaticNeon** » Tue Oct 28, 2014 5:09 pm

Black Rainbow Dash is limited to 6 per store it seems they won't be getting anymore of her.

Broke down and ordered a black RD from Target's website after not finding it in store. I hope they have quality shipping and I don't get a crunched box.

Postby **Buffy6** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 4:19 am

Hot Topic Pre-Orders up for:

Celestia: http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Brands ... 265901.jsp 11/25

Luna: http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Brands ... 265894.jsp 11/4

Blue Discord: http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Brands ... 229711.jsp 11/25

Looks like Luna is out first on 11/4?

Some parts of Luna's mane and tail are clear, so even the non-glitter variant has some glitter, right? =D>

Postby **Dark69** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 4:32 am

Hmmmm they look small....

Postby **renirawr** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 9:44 am

Oooh ooh! This is exciting!

So Luna will be arriving... next week? Hmmm, it'd be nice to get her regular and glitter variants before Celestia drops on the 25th. Unless they screwed up Luna's date. I guess we'll see!

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 10:07 am

Two more glitters to get ! Thanks Buffy6 for the heads up !

Postby **brand42** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 11:32 am

Awesome! Thank you! I just ordered Luna and Celestia.
