The new Equestria Girls look so... Elsa...

I like the pony with turtles as his (his?) symbol

Pearly ponies..... December can't come soon enough.

I guess I'll go through all of these now and write up my thoughts on each one!

Spoiler

TWILIGHT SPARKLE MAGICAL SCHOOL OF FRIENDSHIP Playset ($59.99)

$60's not too bad of a price and the playset looks cute but I will probably be skipping it, due to space issues. Unless I were to somehow find a better way to organize my G4.5 stuff I don't see myself having the space for another large playset, the Seaquestria castle's enough.

PINKIE PIE BEATS & TREATS MAGICAL CLASSROOM Playset ($29.99)

Depending on how big it is, I may get this one. The accessories are super cute.

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC COLLECTION MAGIC SHOW & TELL Assortment ($7.99)

May or may not get them depending on what they look like.

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC COLLECTION FRIENDSHIP LESSON Assortment ($14.99)

Similar to the Movie two packs in that there's a Mane 6 character and a new one, I'll be getting both sets (Rainbow/Sandbar and Fluttershy/Silverstream).

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC COLLECTION PONY FRIENDS Assortment ($4.99)

I'll be buying this whole set, I really like the glittery TAF-esque symbols. I am of course most excited for the Trixie (my 4.5 Starlight needs her friend!).

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC COLLECTION SINGING RAINBOW DASH ($24.99)

May or may not get, she does look pretty cute.

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC TALKING PONIES Assortment ($19.99)

Wish we had an image of the Rarity one. The Twilight seems to be the exact same figure as the singing Movie Twilight, so I won't be getting it. Instead I should get around to buying the Movie one that comes with Spike before it's no longer in stores.... The Rarity should be completely new so depending on what she looks like I may get her.

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC MEET THE MANE 6 PONIES Collection ($19.99)

The molded hair set, pretty cute, may get them.

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC ULTIMATE EQUESTRIA Collection ($59.99)

Still no confirmation on if these are normal size or fashion style size. Either way, I'll likely get the set for the blue Luna!

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC FAN SERIES COLLECTOR Figure ($19.99)

This is the Trixie/Starlight figure. Really excited for this Fan Series figure and will certainly be buying it!

CUTIE MARK CREW BLIND PACKS ($3.99)

I want all Cutie Mark Crew figures... I need them.

FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC CUTIE MARK BOBBLES ($9.99)

These plushes look so cute! I don't know if I'll get them all but I'll get a couple of them at least.

BEST GIFT EVER CUTIE MARK BOBBLES ($9.99)

Holiday-themed versions of the above (just Twi and Pinkie though)? Also sounds pretty cute. I'll likely get these holiday versions, and skip the normal versions of these plushes of Twi and Pinkie.

BEST GIFT EVER MANE 6 CELEBRATION Set ($24.99)

Now here's what I'm super excited for, pearly ponies are my jam!

PONY BEST GIFT EVER PRINCESS CADANCE & SHINING ARMOR Set ($14.99)

More pearly ponies, they will be mine....

BEST GIFT EVER PONY FIGURE MYSTERY BOX ($2.99)

If these are also gonna be pearly, you bet I'm buying some... I really like pearly ponies, okay?

EQUESTRIA GIRLS SO MANY STYLES Assortment ($19.99)

They look cute and I'm glad they have elbow articulation, but I'm not sure as to what makes them double the price of the current reboot EqGs? Nothing points to coming with extra outfits or accessories, they just seem to be similar to the first reboot dolls, just wearing different outfits, not seeing why they're $19.99, may get them, but certainly not for full price, I'd wait for a sale.

EQUESTRIA GIRLS FRIENDSHIP POWER Assortment ($19.99)

Same as above, I'd wait for a sale if I decide to get them. Especially since these ones lack elbow articulation.

EQUESTRIA GIRLS FRIENDSHIP Party Pack ($69.99)

No elbow articulation, skipping entirely. I'd only get them if I found them while thrifting.... $70's too much for dolls with no elbow articulation smh.

Still waiting for deluxe reboot EqGs with knee (and maybe wrist) articulation... where are they, Hasbro?

Big question -- what's in those mystery boxes?

[Mana Minori]

Big question -- what's in those mystery boxes?

bigger question, who the hay is Flim Skim and Icy Mist?

Flim of the Flim Flam brothers. Not sure about Icy Mist, I assume one of the many blind bag exclusive ponies.

If these blind box ponies are also pearly like the brushables for the line, I'm gonna aim to complete it because pearly/metallic is my favorite gimmick and I want every pony with it.

I'm disappointed not to see more new characters.  There may be more to see in subsequent waves but still.  Also disappointed that it looks like that if I want a new character I will either have to pay more for a set or wait till it is deep discounted or second hand. 

And if they are going to do a whole holiday line then I want an actual holiday themed pony, darn it!  Not just old characters pearlized.

I really hope that the fim collection hasn't been dropped.  I really wanted a Fluttershy cottage to add to my set up.

[gabumon]

So these all look like they are labeled Fall 2018.  Do we know if anything new is coming Easter 2018 or Summer 2018?

[Sunset]

So I was just perusing the floor plan listed on the Toy Fair's website and I noticed Basic Fun is listed twice in what looks like two different areas.  Then I tried searching for " my little pony" and Basic Fun came up as a result (though weirdly not Hasbro).  I'm so excited to see if they show anything new tomorrow.  Maybe we will even see some stuff tonight.  Last year wasn't there a special event were certain people got to go in early?

[Carrehz]

So.. two new characters? That's two more than I figured we'd get so, I'm happy enough.

Awww, I like Silverstream. (Also as a lapsed Warrior Cats fan, her name amuses me ) And ughhh I KNEW they'd pack Sandbar into a set I have no interest in.. at least he's not in a huge expensive playset, I guess. Not really a fan of his hairstyle, either (am I the only one that dislikes it when brushables come with specific hairstyles like that..?) but eh, at least it's not a mohawk.

Interested to see what the blind boxes are like (and excited to see more of Flim and Flam, I love those two). I'm wondering if they'll replace the blind bags. Dangit Hasbro, we don't care what the boxes look like, show us what's in them!

[Pinkie21]

Well, this is a disappointing and ridiculous lineup.  Man, I miss the G1 and G3 days, when Hasbro wasn’t too cheap to make new characters.  MLP is just...bad these days.

[Sunset]

First look I've found of the mlp booth this year.  The camera pans by to fast to really see anything but it stops on the new EG dolls with new outfits on.

[pyrodarknessanny]

Yes!   Ratity finally gets the pearl treatment
Also yes for more hippogryfs   

Id still like to see  some filly/ colts  and some young brushable hippogrygs
Also some gryphons  that fit the line some how too maybe? ?
