Rainbow Dash Hikari

[Arloe8]

Awwww daaaaaamn! I just learned that Entertainment Earth had the metallic version as an exclusive for pre-sale- and it is already sold out!

I am seriously so bummed I missed out!

So I guess they are getting in earlier than expected? I do wonder when the gradients/glitters are going to appear and whether they will be small editions or exclusives.

PLEASE- if someone sees any of the gradients come up, would you please please let me know? (PM or email?) I'll do the same for you if you'd like!

I will definitely PM you the next time we get a pony. I love the low edition numbers but didn't expect it to sell out. Hopefully they list more once in stock.

[Galacticat]

I'm going to be stocking the HT site like crazy now- I'm SURE they will get an exclusive and when they do it will probably sell out even faster than EE...

[Kitzka]

Galacticat- I'll email
Or pm you as well.

Hope we see the gradients soon. Not sure where they are going to go but if pre-orders go up gradually I can space out my hikari spending.

Wait until you guys see these in person. Stupendous!

[Galacticat]

Thanks so much Lara! I suspect they will come trickling out soon- probably more pre-orders! I hope there aren't too many (or any) in tiny comic shops that I can't access :P

[Neeko48]

I'm gonna be watching for the clear rainbow gradient one, I really hope I don't miss it X<

[Galacticat]

Me too- the rainbow gradients are my favorites! The clear and solid actually- so cool looking!

[PinkiePie316]

Any idea when these will be available and where? (Photos from Dragonflydesignsct, pop vinyls and flickr.)

Sooooo pretty!

Crossing fingers for a Hikari Dash announcement today...

Crossing fingers for a Hikari Dash announcement today...

Its Thursday Galactica!

[Galacticat]

Oh yeah! We had a half-day that day at work and Friday was a holiday, so I guess I just moved it to Friday in my head

Well, hoping for Dash THIS Friday then...

[Galacticat]

Maybe today will be the day!!!!

[AquaticNeon]

Maybe today will be the day!!!!

You scarred me for a second, no its just another Hulk and Bossk I think that's 10 of each of them by now... Where are you RD! I need that Rainbow Swirl Prism one!

[Galacticat]

I know, still no RD and yet more recolors of Hulk and Star Wars... I wonder if they will all be released at once?

[Galacticat]

I wonder if there are production issues slowing these down? Just noticed that Gemini has the regular Dash estimated for release in June, and BigBadToyStore estimates July, and Entertainment Earth estimates September...

So maybe the new ones will be announced once these ones finally ship. One can hope, there aren't THAT many months left in the year now...

[beckysaurus]

When I was at HQ in March, we were told the ETA for any pony Hikari is starting in September. I think Gemini and BBTS are both way off.

[Galacticat]

Oh thanks!

[perfectgame34]

I am also very impatiently awaiting these, for the record!

[MaxGoof]

I wish Funko would have made some exclusive Rainbow Dash vinyls for BronyCon next week!

[Galacticat]

I wish Funko would have made some exclusive Rainbow Dash vinyls for BronyCon next week!

I think it might drive me crazy if they made exclusive RD vinyls for events that I am not attending! SDCC is stressful enough,

This. I think it's inevitable but hopefully it's not variants i must have.

I am hoping at least one of the better one is a "Hot Topic" exclusive or something- at least there is a chance at getting those.

Not to mention the constant sales that HT always has will possibly make it cheaper, too.

[Galacticat]

Yeah- plus Hot Topic never does small editions so a better chance for people to get the figure(s).

[Galacticat]

SO if anyone else missed out on the Entertainment Earth metallic Rainbow Dash- she appears to be up right now! Maybe some people cancelled their orders or maybe they are simply releasing more? Whatever the reason- I recommend getting one quick before they are gone again! http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodi ... ckpv_lVhBc

[Galacticat]

So first "in-hand" photos of the standard/classic coloration of Rainbow Dash have appeared- (in the MLP Arena) - looks like she got her pony from Popcultcha-

I wish they had had her facing the opposite direction- but at least I won't be struggling with whether or not to display this one out or inside the box


Has anyone else received theirs yet? I didn't order the regular one- waiting on the metallic which APPEARS to be ready to ship now from EE (only I had also ordered a box of the new Mystery Minis to ship together- and those appear to be backordered- so I'll probably get mine last...)

[ShoMeNodder]

Got confirmation for the Rainbow Dash and E-3PO hikari from Gemini

[TulaBug]

I got notification that mine has shipped...yippee!

[Galacticat]

Oooh- lucky! Did you order the regular edition or metallic ?

[TulaBug]

Oooh- lucky! Did you order the regular edition or metallic ?

Both, shipping is coming from Gemini. That was the regular production. Right?

[ShoMeNodder]

The metallic is an EE exclusive

[Kitzka]

I'm getting my regular RD hikari tomorrow or Thursday. Can't wait!

Lara

[Galacticat]

Please post photos you guys when you get your ponies ?? I hope you take them out of the box

[TulaBug]

Mine is absolutely coming out of the box!

[Kitzka]

Yes, mine is coming out of the box. I take just about everything out of the box

Lara

[renirawr]

Yay, can't wait to see pictures!

I hope the metallic ones ship out soon.

[TulaBug]

I hope the metallic ones ship out soon.

Me too! I can't remember when they are due to ship out.

[a99kitten]

Very excited for this one to arrive! I only pre-ordered the metallic and now I think I need both

[Sir Real]

Got confirmation for the Rainbow Dash and E-3PO hikari from Gemini

Thanks for the notice of E-3PO at Gemini. I had checked earlier and it wasn't available to order, the pre-orders being all sold out, but now that they got it in, it's available now, so I picked it up, along with K-3PO.

[Galacticat]

I hope the metallic ones ship out soon.

Me too! I can't remember when they are due to ship out.

September- at least according to EE. My order shows as ready to ship- but waiting on a back-ordered item (which is the mystery minis) - but maybe they are both back-ordered and I can't read...


(I am also looking forward to the rainbow C-3p0 - although the rusty is tempting...)

[renirawr]

The metallic Rainbow Dash should also be back-ordered. My order shows that an item shipped (which is silly because it's referring to the free shipping coupon as an item) and Rainbow Dash as back-ordered.
