Is anyone else bothered by this?

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

I've not seen the McD toy but they aren't official, just licensed.

On my MLP cup, Luna is purple with blue hair. Dull sky blue hair. And not even the flowy mane, just an amped up version of her S1 mane and I like it. (I like the artwork for Celestia too, with the nonmagicflowing mane. Its more pony and more beautiful IMO. Cadence's hair is the best in the show I think. I digress, this isn't about hair haha)..

I think what we have is pretty, but I would still prefer her to be dark blue with the royal blue/lavender hair not just because it's show accurate, but because I think it would be prettier and more unique. But I'm a little biased...blue IS my favorite color...

Hmmm, I think Luna is actually a dark blue-violet color in the show.  It has a touch of purple/violet in with the blue so seeing her in this very purple color doesn't bother me that much.  In some screencaps she even looks like she is a dark dusky gray-plum color. 

Her hair shouldn't be so purple though. 

Shades of blue tend to be seen differently by different people.  Especially when they have a tint of another color in it like Lyra's ice/mint blue/green color or Luna's violet/gray/blue color.  Some people see the color variations better than others and will notice the subtle differences.

Yeah, I agree, she does have a slight purpley shade to her, but still, she's much closer to blue than her toy is.

I must agree that her color is not what is bothering me but rather the horrible horrible shades of purple in the various plastics that never seem to match. I guess I'm accepting that this is how "accurate" hasbro can be in terms of their toys.

I actually like her in purple ;-)

It doesn't bother me because she is a mass produced toy designed for children to play with. Not too many children care about the finer details. When she is made into an adult collectible, like a Funko, then she will probably be in show accurate colors, and that's really the only time it will be necessary.

I don't mind, she looks nice like this. I'm not at all a "show accurate" person though, so maybe that's why :p.

[Magdalen]

Not me.  I don't watch the show.  I just have a few G4s to round out my collection, which includes that Luna that came with Rarity.

What does bother me is my Luna's head is already discolored and doesn't match her body

[zombienixon]

I don't mind it that much, since it's somewhat closer to her S1 design, which I prefer to her current look, not to mention the toys are really cute. I guess it's for the same reason Celestia was made pink, to get her in a girlier color so kids would buy them. Still, there'll probably be a much more accurate Luna figure for older MLP fans, due to her overwhelming popularity in the fandom. I'll bet the first Princess (besides Twilight) Funko releases will be Luna, so at least you have that.

My daughter hasn't mentioned that she's the "wrong" color, and given that she's the target market, I'm not bothered.

However, I do wish she was dark blue simply because MLP has an overabundance of pink and purple, and her show colors are so perfect for a Princess of the Night.

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.

I actually copied the screen shot from the FiM wiki and Luna's color does in fact fall in the purple color of a blue range, but still purple.. some episodes she might appear to be blue because of the lighting.. in Luna Eclipse she looks blue because it's dark out... but in various other places she is in fact purple

Now I do notice the FiM Wiki says she is a Dark Blue.. but to me it still looks purple

Like I said I will admit that her color is in a blue range but I found that tones can really make color ranges look very different, the bottom of this picture has her color from the top set compared to the color from two night scenes.. I really don't think Hasbro can actually make her look right so they go with what is close in color

I wonder if that dye isn't very easy to use with the plastic that G4s are made of?  I mean, there is only one dark dark blue G1 pony...

[RainbowAlicorn999]

It does bother me a lot. It's very annoying how they won't make her right...

I do think they have a hard time getting certain colors and keeping the toy 'chemically' safe
