Quick answer

Choose the Rory & Storm Set for a classic rider-unicorn pair with dynamic posing, or pick the Valentina & Cinder Set if you prefer metallic power markings and a magical power-of-friendship theme.

Design and theme differences

Both figure sets celebrate the bond between rider and unicorn from the Netflix show and book series. The Rory & Storm Set features Rory in a classic riding outfit with Storm, a unicorn with beautiful details. The Valentina & Cinder Set stands out with metallic power markings on Valentina, emphasizing the Power of Friendship theme. This makes the Valentina set feel more magical and special for kids who love sparkle and unique details.

Articulation and play value

Both 4.5-inch rider figures include 7 points of articulation, allowing for dynamic poses. Storm stands at 5 inches, while Cinder's height is not specified but complements Valentina's look. The articulation is identical, so the choice comes down to which character your child prefers. Neither set includes accessories beyond the figures themselves, so play is focused on storytelling and posing.
