Funko Vinyl Trixie & Fluttershy





Hello & welcome  back  to Trotting Through  Life.  Today,  I'm doing something  different.   If  any  of you are familiar  with the company  Funko,  they are best known for  their Pop! series  of figures such as  this  one.



And  I'll be honest  and say  that I've always  found these a bit creepy.   However, their  Vinyl  figures  of  the MLP  characters  have drawn  my attention  for  looking excellent  and capturing the look  of the characters quite well.  So, this Christmas with  an Amazon gift card,  I ordered two of their Vinyl  Figures,  Trixie  and Fluttershy.    My favorite  villain  and  my favorite  character and I have to say that for the most part,  I'm impressed.  Let's  start with Trixie.




For the most part,  I am  rather happy  with Trixie.  I love that she is  her  cape  and hat from "Boast Busters".  She wouldn't  feel like Trixie without them.  I do have one minor issue with Trixie  however.    As we know,  Trixie  is a unicorn  but  for  some reason,  this figure doesn't have her horn.  My belief  is that it is  tucked underneath her hat .  And  other than that, I really like her look.




I also noticed on her front left hoof,  you could find the MLP logo.





All in all,  I'm quite happy with Trixie  and feel  that  she turned  out quite well.    Now, let's move onto Fluttershy.   Fluttersh arrived  the day after Trixie  came and when her box  came, I was super excited to open it.  Now,  I understand  that  Fluttershy is an older model than Trixie  but overall,  I love this figure.




The only real negative  I have is that  her cutie mark is only one  side, when in the show,   the marks are on both sides but other than that,  she's great.  The face  has really  good detail  and her  hair  is really going down the side.


 




I gotta say that I really love this figure  and   these two are right now  sitting my next desk.  I'm now  just waiting for Funko to make a Cadance Vinyl.  If you are an MLP fan,    these are worth  it.   Now the prices may  vary  on where you purchase them.   These both  were about 12 dollars each on Amazon. Peace!
