Its a new Pinkie Pie! But not really...in more than one way...

[Dusky]

Re: the set, I don't care for it. I will cry with laughter if they have used the G3.5 voice in there and people expecting Pinkie will get the gumball-duckfaced-goosh that was G3.5 instead.

Re: Hasbro giving a spare buck about collectors... They don't have to.
Why are they releasing the Mane 6 all the time? Because little girls/little boys/bronies/everyone else will come into the show at different times, and will go 'Oh hey! Twilight is awesome! I wonder if there's a toy of her?' and then they - or their parents - will happily impulse buy the Mane 6 at $5 a pop. But if the Mane 6 aren't there on the shelves then Hasbro has lost sales. The non-Mane-6 ponies appeal to the impulse fans in some cases (Trixie) but not all, and as such they're more shelf-padding than actual sales. Collectors may want them, kids may not. think of how often loose G3s and G4s end up on eBay because a child has gotten bored of their toys? They are a $5 throwaway item, blind bags more so aside from the obvious choking hazard problems.

Oh and I don't think they're meant to read these boards as part of market research anyway. I'm not sure they're even allowed to as part of their job, people working on the animated shows definitely aren't meant to be here.

There's no reason people working on the show couldn't be here.  Two of them were in the past but I haven't seen them lately.  There's also an animator active on the Allspark Transformers board.

Am I the only one who actually likes this despite having 10 Pinkie Pies, none of them which I bought single?

Browsing the web for pony news, I came across this picture of pinkie pie in a random merchandise post

She seems to be fashion sized, I haven't seen her and was wondering if anyone knows when she's coming out? Or what she's for cause she has special leg designs.

Here's the link to the web page I found it.

Whoa! I didn't know she was fashion sized. There is another thread about her. Where is she being found?

[sd_dreamcrystal]

I don't think she is FS size, maybe an in between... but even with a normal Pinkie there it's hard to be really accurate

[Mkia]

I saw this posted somewhere and they had noted that she was between brushable and fashion size, but a new size nonetheless. Not as small as brushable, but not as big as fashion style. Maybe more like the size of the brushable princesses I'm thinking?

[ShannonInPonyland]

Hm, I thought she was just a regular sized brushable! I guess that's kind of cool but I'm pretty sure everyone is getting tired of all the Pinkie merch

[PinkRosedust]

OMG NEW SIZE

I mean uh...interesting! I hadn't heard of her before. I guess this means there are more medium sized ponies to come, right?

[gabumon]

medium-sized! aka "Correctly Sized MLP".

[Jenn1983]

Apologies for the mis-sizing. She looks bigger so I assumed she was in a size I knew, which is fs. Lol.

I haven't any idea where she is being found, when she's coming out, what she's coming out for and whether or not there will be others. I was hoping ppl here could help me out. Lol.

I like the new size if there is a noticable difference between them and the fashion size, otherwise its just a slightly shorter fashion sized and no different them buying a fashion sized, except less accessories, and a brush that talks, and who needs that?(I know I'm debating whether I want it or not, I keep telling myself I'm to old why does my hairbrush need to talk? Lol)

I am so sick of the main six, I like the tinsel version, just cause they are different but hate the tinsel in their hari(still aren't sold on getting them, lol). I wish they would start making the blind bag ponies in brushables. Hopefully they will, I need some bright colored brushables.

I agree 100%! You think the constant mane 6 ponies are bad, though? Apparently this Pinkie pie set is a rehashed idea from Gen 3.5... Here's the thread if you're interested:

Hasbroooo! When we ask for new play sets this is not what we mean!

[Jenn1983]

Thanks for that, I guess I missed it.

Very lame that they are doing it, why?
There are 100s of ponies they could have made, or how about some new ponies completely original ponies? Like brand new names, cutie marks, etc?

I won't hold my breath though. Lol.

[agnusdei]

Wow, I thought she was just a regular playful pony, the fact that she is between brushable and fashion style sized is very cool!  Even if it is just more main 6 (and Pinkie Pie, even), it is a pretty neat to see a new G4 pony size. 

[Water_Fire]

I'm rather curious about the G3 style brush that's in with her. Was that meant to happen?
