The Positives:
*Something I love about the cartoon that Funko nicely captures in each of their vinyl figures are the bright colors. These figures look really nice together on a shelf and Rarity's white and purple really stand out. The paint work is very nice on both her cutie mark and her eyes. It's neat, clean, and rather eye-catching.
*Since Rarity looks like Rarity, I'd say the sculpt is quite nicely done. The face shape is perfect everything else about the sculpt looks great. Since Rarity is a unicorn she's got the prominent horn on her head. Since she's a fashionista (and a bit of a diva) she's got a long, stylish mane and tail.
* Seriously, check out hot cool her hair and tail are. I love how Funko captured the flowing design of Rarity. This is a fairly detailed element for this series but it looks great.
The Negatives:
*The only negative I have is that Rarity, like many of the other ponies in the line, has some uneven molding lines. Rarity's aren't as noticeable as some but she still has a bit of excess or uneven molding on her right cheek. It;s tough to see in the picture but it's there.
I think your opinion of these vinyls definitely will be based on your opinion of the show. If you're an MLP:FIM fa,m you'll dig them. If you're not, these are simply a group of brightly colored toy ponies. Being a fan, I'm really liking Rarity. She might be the most well done figure of the Mane 6 (now Funko just needs to find a way to get us a Spike). I'm glad this figure turned out so well because I'm a big fan of Rarity not just because of her character on the show, but because she reminds me of a good friend of mine who passed away a few years ago. Like Rarity, she was a seamstress and designer who loved sparkly things and glamour, was a little bit dramatic and a bit of a diva, but certainly was a very generous friend (Rarity's element of harmony is generosity). Funko did an excellent job with this vinyl and I'm giving her a Great rating.
I've only reviewed a couple other My Little Pony toys on here, including:
Fluttershy
Trixie Lulamoon
Your reviews of these don't bother me at all Jerry...Am not a collector of them nor have i want the cartoon series but i can see the appeal these have to collectors.
ReplyDeleteIf you give the show a chance you might be singing a different tune about it. You might find yourself snagging colorful ponies left and right!
DeleteGod i hope not Jerry i got so many other things i want to get lol.
DeleteI never thought I would collect dolls until I got my first Monster High Doll. Now I have over 40 of them. You love what you love. I am all about the way the figures display as well.
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd understand, Cal!
