Is anyone else bothered by this?
« on: May 08, 2014, 02:40:16 AM »
Hasbro keeps making the Luna toys purple.

And not to mention her mane is completely off.

Her cutie mark is also wrong from what I've seen, it's a pink moon with a purple patch around it yet in the show it's white with a black patch around it.

Her eyes also seem slightly more green, not sure if that's just me though.


I adore Luna's dark blue coloring in the show, I wish it could be that nice on the toys.  :cry:

I don't care that much about show accurancy and i do think she looks nice that way.
So no, i'm not bothered by it.

I think toy Luna is gorgeous but...I also really, really love the shades of blue she is in the show. I'd like to see both versions  :lol:

Yes, very.

If she were the only purple pony we'd ever seen, then I'm certain I wouldn't be bothered by it. But there's loads of purple ponies out there, and I don't believe there's a brushable with Luna's current shade of blue.

I'm not super bothered by it, although a Luna toy that is show accurate would be gorgeous.

The thing is, she is pretty close to show accurate...however it's based on her first appearance, after she is released from her state as Nightmare Moon. I wonder if she was originally supposed to stay that pale purple color? 
I'll put something here some time

It does bother me to some degree, but then again, her shades of purple are very nice and it's easy to forget that she's not supposed to be that way when you're playing with her. I've yet to see many customs that can pull off the dark blue colour and still look nice.

I agree with you- its kind of frustrating, but at the same time I don't mind it too much. I was more annoyed this Pinkestia.

LOL!  I've never even *seen* an episode of FiM, so to me, she's supposed to be purple!  I had no idea she was inaccurate!

I'm not at all concerned with "show accuracy" so no. Her toys are very pretty. I was never bothered by pink Celestia either though, so.

There is that, too =/ She's not even the only purple princess now with Twi about.

I watch the show and I didn't notice that her toy color wasn't accurate. Pink Celestia bothered me, though. I wanted the WHITE winged unicorn!

I would like a show accurate Luna, sure! I'm not bothered by her coloring though. I like her toy as it is, separate from the show. Just like all the others.


They should make an accurate Luna for a Favorites Pack though. Imagine that, a royalty pack (Whitelestia, Accurate Luna, Correct winged Twilight in her own mold, corrected gradient Cadance, A new Shining Armor *dreams*)

I'm not at all concerned with "show accuracy" so no. Her toys are very pretty. I was never bothered by pink Celestia either though, so.
I was because white Celestia is SO PRETTY. I love white ponies. Anyway, Pinklestia is cute in her own right. She feels like a MLP that way. I like them both. I was happy when they made her white for the Crystal line. I was happy with her cute Pink booty too.

I honestly do prefer white Celestia! Especially the deluxe version with the blush (reminds me of blush on G1s!). But when it seemed like Pinklestia was going to be the Hasbro norm, I wasn't as bothered as some.

It doesn't bother me one bit, mostly due to the fact Luna is actually purple.. even after season 1 she is purple. Hasbro just kind of chose to try and match the color from Season 1. Have we even seen a really dark purple pony other than Nightmare Moon (and yes NM is purple in the toy and not black.. at least the one from the favorites pack). We got to look at a few things when it comes to color.. Some colors are just not easy to get due to the kinds of dyes and chemicals that have to be use. Some might not be safe to use really so that is why some of the ponies are not the colors they should be.

Her cutie mark is also wrong from what I've seen, it's a pink moon with a purple patch around it yet in the show it's white with a black patch around it.
As for this, her symbol I think is actually white, it's the glitter that is put on that make it look pink.. I should know my DJ has that problem. As far as the rest of the symbol, I don't know.
My DeviantArt, why not drop by and take a look!

I see Luna more as very dark blue. Even the wiki shows her coat color as simply "dark blue".

Not sure about that because the McDonald's Luna has no glitter but another pink moon.
