New Picture of a Maud Mini Figure

A picture of a previously unseen Maud mini figure has popped up, possibly of the one that could be part of Hasbro's "Friendship is Magic Collection". Alternatively, it could instead be for inclusion in a future wave of the blind-bagged My Little Pony mini figures currently on their 14th wave. I got a Fluttershy from Wave 12 which, though not 100% show-accurate, is still adorable and totally worth buying, but what made it easy to get is that the "blind-bag" packaging actually had a little transparent window on the back -- so hopefully if Maud finds her way to Wave 15 or something that window will still be there.

Anyway, back to this Maud figure. As you can see, it looks great as far as the picture shows... except one thing... what's with that spike of hair by her ear? Hopefully this is just a prototype or something and not really just an uncalled for bump on her head. I'd almost think maybe it was there to hold a hat in place; Maybe it will come with the helmet she wore in Episode 83 (I think it's called a pickelhaube).

Hot Topic Variant Funko Mystery Minis Series 3



I've read that the My Little Pony Funko Mystery Minis Series 3 figures are expected to come out in October as opposed to September as I've previously read. But with that said, I also saw someone on YouTube say that the figures are out already, even showing a set of Hot Topic exclusive ones they had in their possession. The same day the video was posted I coincidently went to Hot Topic and didn't see them, and they aren't on Hot Topic's website, either. So, who knows when exactly they're coming -- let's all just be on the lookout. Anyways, back to the Hot Topic exclusives, it turns out there will be a Maud variant with her coat (like, her "skin", not her dress) colored black instead of it's usual gray. I'd probably buy one of those if they weren't blind-bagged, but since they are I'm just gonna aim to get an average one.

UPDATE 9-18-15:
Hot Topic has now added the series to their website, so it looks like it must indeed be out now.
