We want Minty!!!

[Galactica]

Oh- he looks awesome!  I would totally get that set-

I think it is a great idea to vet a new set like the "favorites" collection- 

I bet TRU did REALLY really well with the favorites set- (judging on how fast they were sold out and how long they stayed out of stock) - so hearing from rabid fans about another sure-to-sell-out set would probably be a good way to go!

if they sold a set with brushable Big Mac and Minty....  they'd have to have the defibrillator ready! cuz I'm sure I'd have a heart attack!!

I'm bumping the Minty thread with something interesting.

I went to go see The Hobbit last night.  Fantastic film, by the way (if a bit slow-moving in parts).  The main characters are mostly dwarves and a hobbit (who are smaller than human-sized).  They ride ponies rather than horses. 

In one scene, a character is rescuing some ponies that were caught by trolls.  He's listing off the names, and I swear one was named "Minty". My husband and I just looked at each other at that point.  "Did he just say MINTY?"

So if you go see the movie, listen for yourself!  Maybe I've just got Minty on the brain, but I swear her name was mentioned in the film!  (Maybe one of the writers was an MLP fan, or it was just coincidence.)

DUDE MY BOYFRIEND HEARD IT TOO. In our Brony group we call each other by our screennames and I'm known as Minty, so they all know to come to me when they hear it. I heard it too but it happened so quick I couldn't be sure.

Hey... if I wrote up some letters for everyone to print and sign and mail, would others be interested in a letter-writing campaign?

[MaronaPossessed]

True, but is he similar to the other standard playful ponies? i'm not sure because I don't have him yet to do any comparisons.

He is slightly larger than the average playful pony but at just the right proportions that you might expect for a male.  Especially, Big Mac who is always shown has being taller and heavier than the girls.

I made this concept art a while back about him:  visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Sure! I would have written one of my own long ago if I hadn't been strapped for time lately. Letters seem to be much more affective than emails, they're harder to ignore when there's a pile of them on your desk.

[lovesbabysquirmy]

I will try to draft something up in the next few days then.  Then we can start the New Year with a letter-writing campaign.   

After all.... Hasbro, you made us go through another Christmas without Minty!  No fair!  :-p

Did anybody notice this pony in the latest episode? I kept thinking she was Minty, till I noticed her cutie mark.
She's rather cute!

Lol...I saw a couple of mentions of her in another thread. Hasbro have already done the blind bag, looks like she may have gotten a cameo in the show...now we all need to keep on shouting about that brushable.

[Malicieuse]

Not to be a downer but i don't think she looks a lot like Minty. Her body is too bright green. (And her eyes aren't purple.)

[StarlightGaze]

I'm not even sure what Minty's official eye color is anymore. She has like 4 different eye colors!

[Mintymints]

Did it occur to Hasbro that Minty won MOST popular pony among collectors... or that she is being sold for ALOT of money...
BS nobody would buy her!

I think it's more of a case of Walmart/Target etc going "Eugh, GREEN? What little girl wants a GREEENNNN pony?! Make more pink!"
