NY Toy Fair 2014

[HoustonCollector72]

I'm not really impressed with G4 playsets in general.  G1 and G3 playsets were much larger and roomier, not with rooms that barely have enough room for one pony.    I want to see more brushables, hopefully not another mane 6 clone.

  Yes, G4's are just too simple , G3's are super high tech    music and lights playing ,both sides able to display ponies(in the Celebration Castle  , I mean the FS G4 fit tightly in the G3 Crystal Rainbow Castle,I love that it  opens itself  from 1 story to 3 stories with a touch of its wand 
Even G2's Castle had at least a button with magnets to close and open the door , the areas on the side can move, and can be closed to store it,and  had much more decoration and detail on it than what we get now on these g4's  .
hope they come out eventually with something to surpass the other Generations
I love Castles so will probably get this one anyway, Is better than nothing though. (:

I'm not particularly fond of it myself. But, maybe kids who aren't into pink, including little boys, would be drawn to it.

Well that's a very good point.  I am not a big fan of the colors myself-  but I guess kids probably are drawn to bright colors- and I certainly DON'T object to the castle not being pink- which is the color it probably would have been if not primary colored  (personally I'd prefer castle colored...)

I'm excited about the castle.  Not G1 or G3 excited, but it looks better than the other G4 playsets we've seen.  I'm a big fan of any colour other than pink and pastels (I'm just bored of them), so the colour is fine by me.  I guess it's too much to hope that that's a new character that comes with it, right?

I find the castle ugly myself. The way the bright colors clash with that periwinkle...If I were to end up getting it, I would either give the castle to my cousin or paint in more.....pastel, or at least make the colors flow.

A write-up from the pre-toy fair investor event

has little blip about MLP in there

My Little Pony first. Rainbow Power. Rainbow Dash gets her own kingdom; Rainbow Kingdom. Commercial was shown for the My Little Pony: Pop. Second movie; Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks. Footage shown at the presentation. We didn’t get to see it. Sorry for that Bronies.

I think they meant Twilight is the one getting the "Rainbow Kingdom"
There are some pics from the presentation if you scroll down the page.

Also, here's video of parts of the mlp presentation

Talks a bit about mlp over the past year, rainbow power, pop ponies, EqG & Rainbow Rocks.

Yikes... not good news at all... EQG seems to be taking over... Means less and less pony...

[tinyblondie]

My little sister will love the castle she loves anything brightly colored . Rainbow Dash is her favorite and she's asked for more ponies for her Birthday so I might get her the Flippy Rainbow Dash for her birthday (if she doesn't want something else) and if it isn't horrendously expensive, the castle for Christmas.

Saying that though I was really exited for the Crystal castle and the Crystal princess set to be released and they never showed up over here. But we already have the Rainbow Dash

I'm looking forward to the MLP Pop stuff. But only because I'm desperate
I'd rather make my own characters than buy the Rainbow Six. Oh, btw, somehow I can't believe EQG was the #1 fashion doll during the Christmas season. Mattel said the exact same thing about MH. Lol?

[PinkRosedust]

I really hope we'll be seeing more pony shaped ponies. I'm ready for EG to go away already...

*nods* All stats show that the #1 fashion doll for the whole of 2013 and throughout the Christmas period was Monster High. Its a massive and huge success story, the first time Mattel managed to outsell its own Barbie brand. EQG is not even the second biggest seller - that was Disney Princess.

Its a classic case of some numbers being twisted to big up a product and misleading it a little. That and the "Rainbow Dash" castle are why its always helpful to remember investor information events like this are less about the actual products and more about bigging up commercial success.

But now I want Rainbow Dash to have her own kingdom! What to do, what to do...

Wait 12 months...surely by then they will have crowned a new princess?

Although I do agree think Rainbow Castle would have been much better for Rainbow Dash.

Don't really have anything to add to the discussion at the moment.  I just wanted to keep an eye on this thread.  So excited to see what comes out of the toy fair!

i swear  its liekt eh playsets are for the blind bag ponys not the brushables ><

and  i'm sorry to say  any of tte castles are likely to have  the same crappy qauilty that he prevous 2 did adn  not be at all worth the  money.
