Dang it Hasbro!

Gumball and Darwin get it.

Seriously though, this is why I don't collect the blind bag ponies anymore. They're very lazily made. At least the sets (like the Nightmare Night ones, or the Apple family barn sets) are more creative and detailed. I'll just stick to those. I get that the blind bags are cheap, but... come on!

Yeah personally I don't mind this since the character is basically Dr. Whooves with wings so I can understand this decision. I mean we basically get new waves with new characters that are actually based on characters from the show instead of random ones with different gimmicks so I really dont see the problem here. The only thing I hope is that they fix the overlapping cutie mark.

In this context I think the decision makes sense. It's an obscure background character from the show and Hasbro already has a mold that looks exactly like him sans wings. It would not be worth the cost and effort to make a new mold with wings just for this character, so it was either this or don't make the character at all (which might not have been a big loss, I'm not sure if there are many fans of him).

And it's one character among hundreds of blind bags, I don't really think it's worth the outrage. The repaint of Celestia as Queen Chrysalis was way worse in my opinion (but probably also the only way we would get her in brushable form). I do understand the frustration with him being printed on both sides, but still only having the cutie mark on one side, but I also understand it was done for consistency.

Precisely! Cheap doesn't hafta mean crappy!

Maybe it's a prototype in that the actual release won't have any overlap. I doubt they are going to make a folded wing mold for just one character that's probably a chase and Thunderlane's mold doesn't suit the character.

It would not be for just one character xD After all they do reuse molds so

to me these blind bags aren't cheap to buy!   I know that 3-4 dollars doesn't sound like much, but these things are tiny

The quality should be better for what people are paying for.

This is the most beautiful reaction I've ever seen.


And to the people saying it'll be fine if Hasbro keeps it from overlapping... have you guys seen the blind bags? The paint is a horrible, inconsistent mess. They'd never be able to line something like that up reliably. They can't even do it with eyes.

I cannot stop laughing at how insane that is!

Now, if it was a LED strip along the body, I would be more impressed.

The Brushables will receive folded wings as well. But these are molded on and look quite nice.

Well this just proves they could have done folded xD

THIS.  This summarizes what I've been meaning to say but couldn't.  When you hear $3-$4, you think 'ok, that's not bad.'  But then you see that $3-$4 is paying for something that you'd expect to find inside a plastic bubble from a vending machine outside the Chinese buffet...and those are $0.50.

Ha! Point proven!

[Wardah]

Honestly I'm only bothering with the blind bags if they have a unique finish. Not even clear with glitter cuts it anymore since they have released so many. Too bad the pearly ones seem to be skipping the US.

He looks like he passed out at a party and has yet to realize that somepony decided to doodle on him while he was unconscious.

If they can pretend the Rainbow Dash mold works for Fluttershy because "hey, she's a female pegasus!" then they can darn well use the Thunderlane mold for Crescent Moon. This is just embarrassing.

[Koudoawaia]

>< *smacks forehead* That's just sad.

The Fluttershy case is particularly baffling because she has her own mold and it got used for several waves in a row... then one day they decided to revert to Rainbow Dash again. I have no idea why.
