What G4 toys do you think will be HTF in the future?
« on: November 18, 2017, 09:59:44 PM »
I feel like the hard to find items of the future will be the non-Mane-Six ponies from the very start of the line, before a lot of kids knew about it on TV (Honeybuzz, Snowcatcher, etc) and the Breezies because they seem quite fragile compared to regular ponies, being made of hard plastic.

I don't think they'll be hard to find in general, but I have a feeling the newer ponies with poseable wings are going to be similar to Flutter Ponies in that they'll be difficult to find in the future with their wings. I have All About Fluttershy and it's very easy to accidentally pop her wings off. I have a feeling many kids will end up losing the wings to theirs, and thus there'll be a bunch of All About/pirate set pegasi (+Twilight) around without their wings years into the future!

The original ponies with bangs (RD, Cheerilee, Twilight, AJ & Daisy Dreams), Rainbow Flash and Sweetie Swirl are my bet. I already see less of these girls in lots.

A lot of them are already hard to find. There's all of the original non-mane six ponies, and of course there's other randomly rare ponies such as Holly Dash, Ploomette and Maud Pie.

I've wondered about this too.  I agree with the early non Mane 6 ponies. So many times I could have picked up Twinkleshine but for some reason I didn't.  I also think that the first small/playful pony size Luna that was in the Target exclusive set pink Celestia will be hard to find.

That was the first thought I had when I got this set. It'd be neat to see if people make replacement wings like they did for the flutterponies, though.
i think star swirl and unicorn twilight
Star Swirl yes, but unicorn Twilight maybe not? Unicorn Twilight with her full head of hair would definitely be hard to come across, maybe, because of all of the complaints regarding show accuracy not being represented and then the rise of hairstyle tutorials where you just chop the hair off.
But normally, I feel like she wouldn't be too hard to find. That was when the Brony fandom was pretty active, so those who sell off their collections in the future due to lack of interest might have some unicorn Twis mixed in if they got into the show before the Funko figures.

I'm guessing the early non-Mane 6 ponies will be harder to find.  They were not on the shelves long before it went to almost all Mane 6 all the time.  It will depend how many were sold while they were available and how many were in overstock.  Time will tell.

And I think G4 toys are not going to age as well as previous generations simply because of the materials and manufacturing practices.

I've got those two, they were at my Five Below stores for half off the original $10 price. I don't think they're too hard to come by, are they?

It will be interesting to see G4s age...

No, those two were fairly easy to find, but the second wave with Cadance and Twilight were nearly impossible.  I never saw them in the US at all - I had to get mine from someone in Canada and I don't think they were all that common there either.

Unicorn Twilight is very common though the version with bangs may eventually become hard to find.

I agree with what a lot of others have mentioned, anything that is hard to find now will be hard to find in the future as well. Anything non mane 6, especially the earlier characters.

I also think Wave 3 of pearly ponies, the last G4s before the reboot styles came out, will be hard to find. They only showed up in a few stores like Big Lots and Family Dollar.
