New 35th Anniversary Collector Ponies Spotted! Pics!

[Dreamer]

Everybody place your bets on what will follow in the 3-year plan!

Mine are mainly on Sea Ponies and Big Brother Ponies. While it would make sense for TEs and SSs to be re-released, I feel that it won't happen

I got an answer from Hasbro UK...

Same response was sent to me from Hasbro - so I sent my message again to Bridge Direct. We'll see if we get a reply!

Still no since of the ponies at my Target.   I don't think the Targets in my area are restocking.

I'd love to see sea ponies made and a retro Dream Castle.

Been away from the forum for a while, so I found the first pony at my local Target by accident. It took going to 6 different Targets to be able to find the first six ponies. Like many others, I am excited to have the opportunity to get more G1 pony releases.

i often think how wonderful it would be for G1 lovers and collectors to not know about them then find G1's in stores by accident. 
what a nice surprise

I wonder what others one they are going to be making threw the other years?

Ok let me get this straight, the collector pose ponies and Rainbow ponies are for 2018? Or are there other ones that are going to count for 2018?

Here is the previous post by Foxtale.  Sounds like the CP, Rainbow, and Unicorn/Pegasus sets are all due at sometime this year.  But later it is mentioned that they are planning on only two lines per year.

Hey guys!

News from Toy Fair, yesterday I had the privilege of talking to one of the women in charge of pony and I have some great official news for you all! (The close up pictures from instagram are mine ;D)

Spoiler

Original 6 Ponies: They are currently available at target USA (as we all know). Later this year, USA, Toys R Us and other specialty toy stores should have them as well as Target being restocked. (Walmart currently no but that may change) You should be able to order them online soon through outlets such as Amazon. Supposedly they didn't come to the UK and internationally first because HASBRO UK said that the market is more familiar with the rainbow ponies than the original 6 based on what came out in the 80s so they choose to release the Rainbow ponies first there!

Rainbow Ponies - They really are scented!!! Each one is scented a different thing. Some are berries, some vanilla, etc but they are lovely (this was a requested for the market). The rainbow ponies should be available in the Fall of 2018 in the USA as well. They are currently sold separately like the collector ponies. The mutli packs are hopefully for Black Friday and other sales.

Year 2 Unicorn and Pegasus Ponies - Available later this year in the individual boxes. They are beautiful in person! The glitter symbols are perfect and the hair is so silky. They will also come with original bows and combs.

Pretty Parlor - It is TBD who will potentially sell this. Keep supporting the pony releases and hope someone will

Future - They are currently working on approval for next year's items but I have mentioned that Sea Ponies would be a big deal and she seemed very interested. They get a lot of Big Brother requests so they are listening.

Special Ponies - Rumor has it they are working on an SDCC pony (original design) but they might not have it in time for 2018. Stay tuned.

Petitioned Ponies - They have received our mail and are looking into it! They were impressed by how organized the petition were and are currently trying to work with hasbro to make our dreams a reality. (Everything has to be approved by HASBRO).

Quality - These ponies are amazing and the team is very dedicated to making the best quality product possible so please support them. They look at all our websites and books that we have created to make the most accurate product possible. They 3D scan and model based off the original ponies. Currently they plan to release 2 lines every year for the next 3 years. Our ponies are in good hands!!!

Nice so the Unicorn/Pegasus ponies will be part of this year! They have three more years of ponies after this year? 2019 2020 and 2021?  Or those this year count as year one?

[Sunset]

This year counts as year one.  But you never know.  If they sell really consistently, then the line might last even longer.  We all need to support this line and cross our fingers that they go over well with the average consumer.

I totally agree with you! I love this is being done! <3

I just realized, if we get mountain boys.... what if Hasbro would take some convincing to make Ice Crystal again? 

I would sell my soul for that pony >->

[Mermaid]

Ummm 2nd set of adult sea ponies please! 😍

[SwirlyWhirly]

35th anniversary ponies can be booked pre release at this Swedish web store. A 5 pony gift set for 699:-/69 €/85$ will be released in April and 6 individually packaged ponies for 849:-/84€/103$ in July.

I don't think they do international shipping but I'll be happy to help anyone get their hands on these if you're having trouble finding them where you live.

[Shatyr]

It just occurred to me. I'm going to be at the Pony Fair in July. If anyone is going to be there that hasn't found the CP yet, I'd be happy to hunt down some extras in my area and bring them to the Fair. No shipping costs!

I think there's next to no chance of Mountain Boys if they're going on the American model. And if it's based on ponies that are known in the countries they're being sold, as suggested by what Foxtale's detailed report said, if they did happen they'd be for this market here in the UK and Scandinavia.

 But this is why I'm fighting so hard for Medley's set. We didn't get them in the UK but we had them all over our merchandise and stories so there's a good case for them here. Basically, if we fail to get US sold ponies released in the UK based on their popularity here, there's even less likelihood of obscure UK ponies being sold even here, let alone globally. Since Hasbro even here are currently convinced Princess Amethyst's name is Sparkle (and it isn't here), then the US model seems to be happening. I actually am fine with them releasing US ponies rather than UK ones, so long as we get them here, but I think there's next to no chance of anything that didn't have a US release. There might be a case for the tales ponies, given the animation - but aside that? Unless Hasbro UK get way more involved than they seem to want to be now, I think it unlikely.

As I said before, we need to all work together to get everything to be global. But I strongly suspect any boy ponies will be the Big Brothers...because they're global and popular, and the Mountain Boys weren't even available in most of Europe.

Google recommended me this article on Good Housekeeping about the retro ponies, nothing much new in it but it's nice to see them get some coverage.

Maybe more random people will pick up some ponies after reading this article for nostalgia sake and the support will help expand the line.

Mine are mainly on Sea Ponies and Big Brother Ponies. While it would make sense for TEs and SSs to be re-released, I feel that it won't happen 

Nothing with specialized gimmicks sadly. So no TE, SS, BnG, GnS, Flutters, Princess Ponies, Color Changers etc.

Big Brothers. Hopefully both sets. DD still wants Wigwam from the second set and Tex from the first. Maybe Salty and Steamer.
