In hindsight, I should’ve been more concerned about ME buying all the My Little Pony merchandise and not my daughter asking for it! Ebay is a wallet killer!!! Still, the items I’ve bought have been amazing prices and I don’t feel ripped off…at least overly so. Doesn’t help all the things I want for her came out in 2013 and 2014 and aren’t being manufactured anymore. Oh well, just need to pace myself and rein things in.
We’re very into the mini blind bag sized figures, or she was until I gave her some bigger ones last week and now neglects the others, but I’m working on explaining why that hurts my feelings (and pocket book, kid! I have TONS of these stupid minis to give you!) I got the larger figures to decorate the table for her birthday party this spring. Any hoo, as we watch the show I strike off figures I’m not actively wanting anymore based on the character, such as Gilda the Griffon. Nope, don’t need the mini bully figures thank you, but sure I’ll take her if she arrives in a lot sale.
Nightmare Moon is mentioned a lot and I guess she was quite taken with the villain/ex-villain or the mare was simply cool. I asked G why she likes her and she told me it’s because she’s able to do all those things and becomes nice at the end. I’m happy with this response from a 3-year-old. Her fascination with the character is what led me to the My Little Pony Series 3 Funko Mystery Minis!

I’m disappointed in the blind bag versions of Nightmare Moon because she looks more like a color wrong Princess Luna than show accurate. The Funko Mystery Mini version however, is perfect, or as close as she can be with that mane of hers! Not one to play the guessing game, I purchased Nightmare Moon, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Queen Chrysalis off eBay. Considering the price fluctuations of them in stores, I did pretty darn well, especially since I got the figures I wanted. HINT: Barnes and Noble sells them the cheapest at $5.96 while Toys’R’Us wants $8.99.
I also bought 2 boxes on a whim and received Apple Bloom and Spike (black). Sneaky me, never one to rest my penny saving mind, figured out a surefire way to buy the exact figures I want without even opening the box! Can’t share it just yet, but it allowed me to pick up 2 extra Princess Luna, 1 Nightmare Moon and 1 Queen Chrysalis to resell on eBay. The profit from those four covered both their purchase and 4 others I’d bought to keep. And I wasn’t even price gouging on eBay! Once I find more I’ll be relisting them, so keep an eye out for my auctions link.
We now have Queen Celestia (2), Nightmare Moon (2), Princess Luna (2), Queen Chrysalis (2), Shining Armor, Princess Cadance (color), Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and black versions of Cadance, Spike, and Cheese Sandwich. The last 3 I’m selling as I prefer the color to the black. Thanks to my secret, I can tell you who is in the box for the entire line of Series 3! If you want me to sell you a specific one, just comment and let me know! I take orders through PayPal!
