through the mirror ... Chinese New Year Pinkie Pie

[CrazyCatPony]

Wow....ok.... not sure if i like it or not....its different....i may have to get her just because she is soooo different and i love pinkie pie lol

I'm not sure if she is a must-have, especially for the price, but I think this is a really pretty girl. It would have been cool if it had been Applejack or Rainbow Dash though. I like the patterns on her dress and eye. I like the eyes, they remind me of the blind bag Apple Fritter. I think this is a better idea than a Valentine's Day pony.

As expected! Ahhh they could have done so much more... I'll have to get her because, well, I spent so much time in CHina and mlp collecting is like my favorite thing it's like... kinda have to have her haha. But she's not very pretty. :/ I'm glad they added silver to her hooves though, it does look at BIT better... :<

WANT!!!!!!!

[NoPonySpecial]

But Equestria doesn't have a China...Pinkie, are you shattering the fourth wall again?

[Draikinator]

Well we have easter fluttershy and valentines day pinkie haha so...
ahhh the chinese on her box is so... ugly, too. What's with the arial round looking characters? The patterns aren't chinese looking at all. The art on the back is really pretty and it's nice to see something not just the pony standing there looking flat ahead but... eugh. colour choices. I already own like 6 g4 pinkie pies, whyyy.
I would have loved a hasbrOC for chinese new year. Could have been a bright red body with gold hair- maybe a chinese dragon on her rump? ahhh. That would have been so beautiful.

I always debox my G4s but I think I'll leave her in the box...

That's a weird looking pinkie pie.

Speaking as these forums' probable main agitator about thread redundancy, I think this is fine. There's a lot of new information here, whereas the last one was pretty much nothing but speculation about what this one simply confirms. EDIT: Ooooh, that other thread. Oh well.

Anyhow, I think she looks prettier with the packaging than without! Anyone read Chinese? I'm eager to know just how badly the title got translated.

She is kind of gorgeous.  I didn't want to get her when I first saw her because of her size, but she is SO pretty!

I love her and I love her box.  The box is VERY Chinese new year.  So is the gold scrolling pattern-work.  I love her!  She reminds me of lucky cats. 

Also, those round characters are in Chinese lanterns.

And I think the flowers are supposed to be Chrysanthemums?

I love her. I'm not Chinese, but I've lived and studied in China and other parts of Asia, so she is a must have--if only for the novelty of a culture crossover. I can see why other people might not be so into her, though.

[Shiromisa]

I look at this and think: Oh yeah? Hasbro, remember when you said you couldn't and wouldn't do art style ponies again? How that was not a thing anymore and we could not expect them ever in g4 molds? And that's why we got background characters as fair exclusives rather than pretty, elaborate, unique ponies? *grumbles*

My thoughts exactly! Well...at least there's a precedent now? Maybe if she does well, we'll get more.

If anyone was wondering, the characters in the lantern are "马到成功" or "ma dao cheng gong" which translates to something like "gain an immediate victory/success".

Correct me if I got it wrong.

I think that its neat, but at the same time I am still not sure. Wish she was cheaper though!

[DancingPhoenix]

I love Pinkie Pie, and I know most people are tired of her but eh I'm glad it's her! Though Twilight Sparkle would seem more into celebrating something like this. Then again if there's a party...

No, that's spot on. I would've translated cheng to achievement, though. I used to work at a Chinese school called Da Cheng (big achievement) education center haha. But you know. It can go a couple different ways.
