New Blind Bag Alicorn Twilight

[Shiromisa]

I caved and got them both--a seller had both of them, that's a sign, right? Now I just want to find a Pinkie...

[Violet CLM]

I can't imagine we won't see Pinkie eventually, not after all the other five and some random other ponies.

Oh, so pretty!   I especially like Fluttershy (no surprise there)... all those butterflies are just very... her, somehow.

Can't wait to see this wave in shops!  Er... hope this wave hits shops... maybe?  Please?

I do like the Fluttershy and so like the brushable version that has been found as well - with that hair colour combo.

I like this one a lot!

The blind bags don't appeal to me at all. Their quality seems to be getting poorer and poorer - the paint is full of flaws.

[Shiromisa]

Bear in mind that a lot of what's sold on Taobao is factory rejects--the ones that make it into packaging will almost definitely look nicer.

Oh, I know! But I still think that what I'm pulling out of blind bags nowadays looks really flawed and poor quality compared to older waves. There is so much lack of paint and smudging of paint it isn't funny anymore. I cannot all be my bad luck

I haven't noticed a difference. Blind bag quality has been awful from the start. In fact, I think the wave 1's I got are some of the worst in my bunch, they almost convinced me not to buy anymore.

I haven't really noticed such issues, and I wouldn't be surprised if more than 50% of mine are technically factory rejects. There's the occasional issue -- Kiwi Tart has a dollop of green paint on her rear hoof, I remember, and I got a Gilda with her wings and tail unpainted -- but otherwise they've always looked fine to me.

(seller says the black ring on the tail is not part of the design; click image for pics from more angles)

Okay, so they've got Dr. Hooves, DJ Pon-3, and Bubbles all coming at, presumably, roughly the same time, and Octavia's making her way into stores as we speak. What the hay could they possibly do for an encore?

DJ pony! Nice!

[brightberry]

That brushable Fluttershy is adorable!  I'm almost tempted to get her and turn her into G1 Skydancer.

Wow, they actually put a little design on DJ's non-display side? Cool! Though, it would've taken less paint to simply add another cutie mark. So simultaneously "cool!" and *facepalm*.
