What gets me is My Little Pany may have ponies on the box, but the actual figures are . . . Equestria Girls, maybe?  Or just generic humans?  While the box to the right, with the anime dude on it, has pony wands, LOL.

I know. I was cracking up at that. XD

Haha you're right. Didn't think much about the pony wands.

Aliexpress surfing before work!
Here's some cute robots:

Free shipping via ePacket. I'm a bit tempted to order to see if it works.

These aren't new by any means, but it's interesting to see they've stuck around. There are a few listings, but this one's almost 30 dollars.

Fake funko pops! $16 for all four, or $6 per random piece.

I found the "Nightmare" alicorns on Aliexpress for just $9 so I ordered Nightmare Fluttershy.  (No packaging on this gal, but that keeps the price low.  Although I would've loved that Executive Director of the Universe packaging . . .)

I gotta say, she's a pretty cool toy!  She's made of hard plastic and it feels nice and sturdy.

Wow she looks great!  The song though-  HILARIOUS!  I'm glad Nightmare Fluttershy is so cheerful :D

It does have a line about how she "became a princess overnight" so I guess it sort of fits?  But I wonder when Fluttershy changed her name to Sofia the First . . . :P

I have to admit they look kinda cool. Especially AJ with her brown armor. Did Hasbro ever make a Nightmare Moon or Celestia with articulated legs?

Not as far as I can tell!  I was looking at MLP Merch, which is usually quite complete on G4 ponies, but I couldn't find any.

As near as I can tell, they blew up the 'standard' size brushable Celestia / NMM pose and added the articulation and sounds / lights.  Or maybe she is based on the larger talking Nightmare Moon, but the way her wings are attached make me think the smaller NMM is more likely.

I like Applejack too and I also like the contrast of the dark blue armor on Rainbow Dash.

Nightmare AJ doesn't seem to have a symbol? Otherwise cool. I like how the listing says to use the batteries that work with Hexbug instead of an actual battery size.

I think she does have a symbol, but on the other side.  (You can tell by which side the speaker is on.)  :)

OMG I read this whole thread tonight and I laughed sooooo hard!!! I love it!
I've been seeing a new kind of alicorn fakie recently and I really dig their wings and poseable legs.  Also they are all in a Nightmare Moon mold so they have helmets.

One named Lil pony to the executive director of the universe

I love how one pony is referred to as "One named Lili pony to the executive director of the universe princess to her task" and the other one is "assistant" lol!

So then I had to go looking on taobao and I saw...
