BTW, one of the Transformers exclusives is a skateboard themed Optimus Prime, who comes with a minicon (who of course turns into a skateboard) named Shreddicus Maximus.  I am not even kidding, this is a real thing that is happening.

The weird thing is when I look at the TF message boards the people there are just commenting on whether they like the color scheme, not the fact that it's SKATEBOARDING OPTIMUS AND A GUY NAMED SHREDDICUS MAXIMUS.

HAHHAHAHA I'm dying that is too funny!

I hope this Pinkie Pie has a crazy name like Glitteratti Pinkie Pie.

Lol!  Almost as good as the "hair band" transformers, was that... last year? Those guys were hilarious

Yeahhh, the Knights of Unicron :lol:

They should do a pony transformer one day. They already have a Unicron unicorn and a Beast Wars horse, so only one step closer and we could have a transforming MLP.
Or what about She-Ra MLP? Swift Wind, come on! Get creative, Hasbro!

Sooooo, no actual pony figure exclusive this year?  Surely we would have heard by now if there was.  Guess they're saving it for their own convention.

Found pics online of their display.  Doesn't look like the sparkly PP is exclusive to anything that I could see.  Though there were lots of other things that are going to be Target, Walmart, and TRU exclusives.

**** actually, it looks like there might be an Amazon tag below the sparkly PP.  there's a separate pic of it with just the bottom of the box showing.  I didn't know Amazon was doing exclusives.  But on the other hand, that would explain certain releases like the Octavia EG and pony pack which I only ever saw on Amazon but not in stores.

From what I understand, the way Hasbro doles out its exclusives is by giving out tickets that have a specific time / day on them, and you are supposed to turn up at that time / day to stand in line.  Like one person might get a ticket for around noon, another might get a ticket for 3:00, etc . . . It's supposed to reduce the crowd around the booth (although I've also heard that Hasbro's booth is usually a crowded nightmare so apparently it doesn't work that well, lol.)

I'm wondering if maybe tickets for the MLP exclusive are restricted to Saturday and Sunday and that's why we haven't heard anything so far??

Or maybe there just genuinely aren't any, which would be sad.  I haven't been crazy about the last couple SDCC exclusives, but it was nice to know they existed.

It just seems like it would be a strange choice not to have an exclusive when this is such a big year for MLP (with the movie) but yeah, maybe they are holding back until Hascon.  I don't know why I am expecting Hasbro to be logical anyway, lol.

Edit:  I've been poking around the internet and so far all I've found is that there's an exclusive MLP poster (movie based), the Loyal Subjects figures, and enamel pins for Songbird Sia and Twilight Sparkle ($10 each).

I really like what I've seen of the hypogriff design so I really hope we get some brushables of them and not just the one huge one.  I know the sea ponies are getting the big billing right now but maybe in the spring we will get a whole slew of hypogriffs?  :) A girl can dream, right?

Only now I want a Rarity with a treasure chest full of gems and maybe a magnetic feature on her horn and hoof to hold them :(

Did Hasbro develop an allergy to magnets since the hoof heart days? On the show the ponies all seem to have magnets in their hooves the way they hold stuff without thumbs :P

Weren't there issues with the G3 magnets or was that just a rumour? There must be *some* reason why they don't use them any more. I remember the first few G2 LPS had magnets too, and the newer ones don't.

Were there? I don't recall hearing anything about them beyond that you should keep them away from electronics, as with any other magnet.

I wonder if Hasbro is trying to downplay it's role at SDCC so it can try and push all the draw that it usually generates for SDCC- to Hascon.

If they have an exclusive for Hascon we'll know for sure...
