Basic Fun Toys promotion department is terrible. They need to up their game!

I think this too. This seems the most likely explanation. They actually didn't answer the question asked, not really, and my experience is that they really don't know what they are doing...

Oooh! I'm super excited about these, especially Windy and Moonstone! Do we know if they will be in shops or should I find them online?  :)

According to TBD they have been here since the Spring and we aren't finding them because they sold out -.-.

So since that's obviously not the case, we really don't know yet :/ Online is confirmed for this month as well on Amazon, all the rainbows and all the collector ponies are on preorder there for next week I think.

Stores? I guess it will be a case of whether any of us spot them. I am going to check a few stores round here before I move at the end of the month. Fingers crossed. I'd love to see them...

Whoo hoo on the ponies finally being in the UK. Well in the care of the post anyway. ;)

Something a little interesting happening on basic fun's facebook page at the minute is that the lady who designed the Pretty Parlour is commenting on the post about it.

It seems that it was the first toy she designed outside of college and she was also responsible for the rereleases although she seems to think it came with a dog when it was in purple...

They sent Collector ponies to various toy and "cutesy" (I don't know how else to describe them? bloggers with a pastel aesthetic?) Youtube bloggers, which was a pretty savvy move.  A great way to get free publicity among audiences who are already into that 'look', for no more than $20 or $30 a pop.

That is cool if you follow bloggers. I am not really into that. I am an old fart - LOL!

Opened up my Pretty Parlor only to find Peachy's hearts are completely smudged on one side! One of the hearts is half gone... Just my luck. I'm hoping to exchange it for a different one if they still have anymore in stock... I hope no one else's Peachy's have screwed up cutie marks!

Ribbs,

Try bidding Peachy on Ebay. She's by herself and could be a good replacement for that flawed version of her.

Ribbs,

May wanna remove the link, live listings that are not your own are against the rules.

I'm looking at this now and I'm confused.  I don't see where she says that she is responsible for the rereleases?

Her first post is:

Quote
Omg! I designed the my lil pony pretty parlor playset 35 years ago when I was a 👩🏼‍🎨 designer at Hasbro! Thanks for the nostalgia!

Which doesn't really sound like she was involved much with the reproductions to me.

Then someone posts separately this question:

Quote
Is it just me or did you use Custard’s mold for the kitty instead of the cat the set originally came with?

and the previous person replies

Quote
Awesome observation! Yes all the pieces r in the same injection molded molds except the animals are rotomolded so they can be switched around! The next year I did it in purple with a 🐶 dog!

I find this reply really odd since it is still unclear as to whether she is talking about the retro releases or the originals.  If she is talking about the retro releases then why does she end her comment using past language?  If she is talking about the originals then it seems like she doesn't know what she is talking about?  Because the original releases did not use the same animals as SSC as far as I know.

Probably looking for attention.
