Funko ponies- running out of room!

So I love the Funko MLPs, I think the sculpts look awesome! I think though that I'm running out of room... they are taking over more and more of my ikea shelves, and I don't even have room to display the boxed ones anymore, much less the new ones.

Gemini Collectibles used to sell the prototypes on their site, but I didn't see the prototypes for Twilight, Trixie, AJ or Bic Mac go through- did I miss them?

Still hoping to find glittery Trixie (despite the sad lack of a tail) and glittery Twilight-

From Gemini- I believe they get all of the Funko prototypes.

Cool! So where did you get your protos? I have the Whooves and Dash colored and white too, also from Gemini.
I think I must have offended Steve at some point though, since he doesn't get back to me anymore :(

I was totally on the lookout for the white versions of your prototypes (trixie, twi, AJ & Big Mac) but never did see them come through. I don't know if Gemini sold them off the site when I wasn't looking, or maybe in private sales.

Oh didn't see that- thanks.

So I guess they went up and sold out probably in the blink of an eye. Well that makes sense. I guess I should be grateful, now that I can't complete the collection, it makes me want to sell off the one I have (at least the colored ones- for me I like the white ones best)

You should also keep in mind that the Funko artists sometimes keeps a lot of protos as well. Not every proto goes to Gemini's site.

I really really like the look of the white protos in these! Maybe it's because I have a thing for white unicorns/pegasus, but I just think the all white ones in your collection Galacticat look awesome! You both have amazing collections though! Even though I generally don't like color protos as much, in the ponies they look so neat with the bright colors. I have the only 2 glitter ponies I originally wanted, but seeing these collections makes me want a full herd!

You can always make space for more Funko!
Plus don't throw away your dreams of getting a complete set. I've obtained many pieces that I never thought I would never own. With some luck, you may get them! You never know!

I definitely wouldn't sell off the protos you have. Like Bigm said, you may be able to obtain those pieces down the line. Someone might be in the same situation as you and decide to sell their protos and those might be the ones that you don't have. It might take some time but patience is key.

If you are thinking about selling, contact me. I have a wanted thread up like all the time.

Thanks you guys! I don't suppose any of you have white protos you want to swap for the colored versions?
I need: white proto Big Mac, AJ, Twilight, Trixie
Have to trade: Colored prototypes Rainbow Dash, Derpy, Dr. Whooves, Fluttershy

It would be great to get trades, but I don't have much hope so will probably sell the colored versions off, I've missed out on the last two waves now. They used to be a lot less popular, sat around on Gemini's site for a day or two. Not so anymore!

Well Dorian has given me some hope that getting more prototypes is not so impossible after all- so that is cool. If any of you stumble upon a white pony prototype you'd like to sell or trade, let me know! :D
