White Celestia info + minis/blind bags

[sweetstuff]

I really love those mini figures. So are these supposed to be sold in a set, or a blind bag?

I think the talking one looks pretty, I've considered getting one. Do you have any info on the lines she speaks?
The pink one seemed so off and in Swedish it just doesn't sound anything near Celestia.

She says the same as the pink one, so:
'I'm a princess are you a princes too?'
'Oh, my hair looks beautiful'
'I love to make new friends'
'You're my best friend'
'My wings are so pretty'
'You're beautiful'
'I will light the way'
'Let's fly to the castle'
'Spectacular'
'My Barrettes look so pretty'

That's pretty sad. She looks incredible in her white form but the voice box doesn't add up to the majestic pony she is.
I'd love to hear anything based more of her intellectual self than just the girly stuff. What if she said "the friends are always there, just look past the obstacles" now that would be a great line.

Haha now I'm thinking of that episode of the Simpsons where Lisa is upset about the things her Barbie-like doll says.

"Math is hard!"
"Don't ask me, I'm just a girl. Hee hee!"

Oh Simpsons, you are a reflection of our times.

I literally have never seen a mlp in the stores here.  When I was at the silk markets I saw 1 G3 baby, and 6 loose blind bags.  I haven't made it to the toy markets yet (which tend to sell straight from factory), but I may see more stuff there.  The chinese really don't do MLP at all.  No one I talk to about it knows what the heck I'm talking about.

This reminds me of my trip to Japan in 2006. I found a GIANT Toys R Us in Odaiba. And I mean seriously, this was a toy store that looked like an underground warehouse. It was amazing.

Being a huge G3 collector at the time, and 2006 being the peak of the G3 distribution, I eagerly searching that entire TRU, hoping to pick up some MLP's with Japanese packaging. After a long, long search I came to the conclusion that there was not one MLP in that entire store. o.0 I was shocked and very sad.

They come in 3 sets:

http://www.strawberryreef.com/Index/Year/2011.html#ponyville (skip to "Miniature Collections")
Apple Family Set (Applejack same as in all the Blind Bag waves, Big Macintosh same as in Blind Bad wave 3, new Granny Smith)
Cloudsdale Set (Rainbow Dash same as in all the Blind Bag waves, new Gilda the Griffon, new Wonderbolt)
Wedding Set (Twilight Sparkle same as in all the Blind Bag waves, new Princess Cadance (different mold design vs. Blind Bag wave 5 Cadance), new Shining Armor)

I actually like the blush, it's reminiscent of the G1s
so excited for those mini packs!

Thanks for the pics xeevee! I agree, styling Celestia is simply stunning in white    If I'm not mistaken we're still waiting on an official release for her? The new styling ones are just the de-tinseled versions of the TRU exclusives.


There was one luna floating around in the Cadance mold quite a while back, but it was the large Cadance mold that comes with the castle, not the blind bag sized one. She looked great in it, and I hope they make on of her in that bb mold as well. I'd think it's possibly if maybe they continue to make these theme sets perhaps? Maybe a Luna, Celestia and twilight Sparkle set would make sense?

[StoryDreamer]

Thanks for the up close pictures! I ordered a mini Luna, I wish it was here now.   I really like the molds for them. 

It's a shame about the talking Celestia continuing to have vapid soundbites. I think that's a tradition in girl toys, unfortunately. Even the Sweet Talkin ones said things like "I love you!" "I'm pretty!" "Comb my hair!"  They couldn't have Celestia say things about friendship too? Bleh.

[DazzleKitty]

Those are so cool! I can't wait till I get my hands on them! Totally loving the granny pony, LOL!

[dashlikedashie]

LUCKY! They're gorgeous!

[Gingerbread]

I so cannot wait to get my grubby paws on these!

I'm another one who is a bit disappointed by what Celestia says - would it have been so hard for her to say "Friendship is Magic!" or something?

I can pretend it's in-character if I think "Princess Celestia does not reveal her secrets so easily."   

[Flitter]

Thanks for the pics!
I still don't know how I feel about white Celestia. She's pretty but how will she fit in my collection with all the pink ones. I do plan to get the blind bag definitely but not the talking one and I'm not sure about the FS one. I wonder when/if/how she will see a release...

You role play that you have her captured and are interrogating her?

LOL!

"Where is the gold?! Tell me where it is!"
'I will light the way'

"Good! You better show me where it is!"
'Let's fly to the castle'

"It's in the castle? Yes yes fly me there and then show me where it is"
'Spectacular'

"mmmyess for me! so much gold!"
'My Barrettes look so pretty'

"what??? I don't want your barrettes woman!"
