Since Two-Bad has so much new tooling and plastic, maybe he will get delayed and Glimmer will slide in? You gotta think positively!

perfect.

Little clear orb? Cute, awesome.

Not another sheild? Greatness.

Finally I got my trio, & Sea Hawk. Couldnt be happier.

Was she the only female figure revealed at the show? If so that is pretty sad. I wonder how they are going to squeeze in the rest of the Pop/female characters for 2014. I still can't believe that we only got 1 female character in the Filmation sub seeing that there were soooo many great/requested female characters that could have been included.

Fully revealed yes. We do know that both Scorpia and Huntara are coming now though ... and I will take those two over just about anyone.

**O'hartley** · July 20, 2013, 02:09am

Do you guys think she will be shorter than the rest of POP characters?

I am wondering if Queen Angela (when she is released) will be taller than Glimmer, maybe Angella will use heels and Glimmer flat boots.

**Neutro** · July 20, 2013, 02:25am

Glimmer is GORGEOUS!

Nuff said.

**MasterCollector** · July 20, 2013, 03:07am

Just like Castaspella, Glimmer looks great!

I can't say the same for Frosta.

**Blaster** · July 20, 2013, 03:20am

Finally, with Two-bad and Glimmer my collection is starting to feel complete.

**Kid Canada** · July 20, 2013, 09:48am

About time!! One of the last true A-List characters to come out.

**evenflow** · July 20, 2013, 11:19am

She looks great, happy with the filmation look over the toy look.

Thanks for asking Ouala!

**Jeevesosiris** · July 20, 2013, 03:38pm

I know it has been said again and again but I have to agree that this is a gorgeous figure.

**facet** · July 20, 2013, 04:00pm

Love her sculpt. She turned out great, and I am looking forward to getting her. I have to admit though, I want a shield for her. Every other pop character who came (baring the ss) have gotten one even if the original may have not gotten one. Hope it can be remedied.

Yeah, I think I got too excited since she was the email reveal, I just assumed Jan. Plus like you said Netossa & I believe the SS's. 30 extra days. She is definitely worth the wait.

I like the way you think, sir. I suppose there's a Glimmer of hope for that. Eh?

THANK YOU. Honestly, thank you, thank you. It's a long-overdue discussion. I really wish I could have heard how that conversation went. Do they even realize how ugly/wrong the leotards have been on Adora and Octavia? From speaking with them, did they sound like they knew it was a problem, or were they more like "Oh? Really? You preferred Marlena's look? Okay, fine, maybe we'll see what can do about that?"

It'd make me (almost) feel better to know that they're as disappointed as we are and KNOW the final versions aren't coming out looking right...

EDIT:

Glimmer's paint apps look really terrific. The pearl-ized blues are great. I could have done with a smile and some bigger eyes (they were a signature part of her design), but overall she looks great.

I hope her shield is a translucent purple. I don't see why she wouldn't come with a shield, Casta does and I don't remember the vintage Casta having a shield

**Vikorfan** · July 20, 2013, 07:25pm

Glimmer looks fantastic! Can't wait to get it!

**PrinceAdam101** · July 20, 2013, 08:13pm

Oh WOW at this dusty old thread making its way back up! I even remember when I started this one...

Castaspella nor Frosta came with shields in the vintage line, but both have them in MOTUC!

I smile & chuckle when I think about the original thread name. This has always been a good thread, I think you can see bits of this thread in her design but I could be wrong about that.

Oulala thank you so much for bringing this up. I'm so glad that they are trying to remedy this, Glimmer is too beautiful to be ruined.

exactly my point, there is no reason why any pop girls should not be getting a shield, that was their thing in the 80's. Its not like they are creating some new accessory.

**Veronica Mars** · July 21, 2013, 03:31am

And it's already fully tooled

**Nephilim** · July 21, 2013, 05:46am

Glimmer looks absolutely beautiful and after Adora and Teela was probably my favourite female character. The sculpt really captures her elegance and the inclusion of the staff denoting her mystical power, along with the Moonstone are especially nice touches. She’s a cornerstone of the POP faction and a definite highlight amongst the new reveals. I never owned her as a child either, so I’m even more excited for that reason. Might even pick up multiples as I know my daughter will love her too.

**The All American** · July 21, 2013, 10:17am

Glad to see Glimmer being added, she looks great!

POP is finally feeling like POP in the collection, with Castaspella and Glimmer upcoming.
