What do you think will be the LAST G4 item? Do you plan to buy it?
« on: September 20, 2019, 10:59:43 PM »
Because they have been saying for a while now 'g4 is ending'...
What do you think the FINAL G4 item will be?
A plush?
A brushable?
Some stupid licensed ugly thing?
Something else?

Since they're still clearly letting out all kinds of things it's not about to happen yet. Even odd "Movie" branded things like those smaller than a bb but carded and transparent cheapo toys are just now appearing. So this final item, will probably be a while in coming. So, a whole year from now? Maybe longer?

If you're placing bets, now's the time to do it.

Also, if you're collecting G4, would you buy the final item, no-matter what, if you knew for sure that it was?
I.......miiiight.
If it's something rubbish like those horrible RADZ or that PP who had a Rubik's cube for a head or something like that, I think I'd skip it. But if it was a no-quality hair brushable or something I'd consider it/just keep it moc or whatever.
Like, I was talking the other day if that 'twilights 2 pak' where it has that odd 'retro' one in the spinner box with the normal G4 was the LAST item, I would have bought it even at the 30 dollars or whatever they have it at. But since it's not...idk...I just can't see spending 15 dollars for a trash twi you can get in any dollar flea bucket and another 15 for a 2 inch teeny 'retro' whatever. I guess. It'd be the significance that would cause me to collect. But, I'm curious about what everyone else thinks when the situation will arise.

Would it be possible to tell what is the last item, at all? I can see a piece of licensed merch being the last thing. The G4 train just keeps on going and going, we'll probably continue to see stuff until 2021. Those KidRobot or whatever figures, I haven't seen any news regarding those recently, and the Kotobukiya figures take their sweet time to release. There's probably lots of third party stuff in production we do not know about. Right now all we're getting is repackaged old stuff... and like you said the only new things I can really think of are those solid-coloured 99 cent figures. And no, Cutie Mark Crew absolutely does NOT count as "new", they keep rereleasing the same characters in the same molds! They're worse than the blind bags!

In terms of first party Hasbro stuff... probably something like a blindbag set or other small figures. Or at the very most, those molded mane figures they've been doing (which I still haven't seen IRL). I remember the last things I saw of G3.5 on store shelves were those mermaid sets. Oh, and like, an activity book by the cash registers of Toys R Us back in 2011...?

I think the very last thing is gonna be some piece of irrelevant licensed merch. :P

The Kidrobot figures were cancelled. :(
I don't care for the anime statues, but I do like G4 so I may buy whatever the final toys are as long as I can find them. I feel like I'll be buying some G4 stuff a bit into G5 at a place like Ollie's or Five Below.

It'll likely be some sort of licensed merchandise. I can imagine those continuing a little bit after Hasbro's finished with making regular G4 toys.

Is there any way to tell what that last item will be? What if its several items? Unless we're talking about brushables but even those are released in waves.

yeah, Ragamuffin put more-or-less exactly what I was going to say. Toys in general (these days at least) aren't usually released in precise waves/assortments where you can say "oh that's the last one", especially not a massive property with MLP where you've got tons of licensed stuff coming in from all over the place. It really depends on how you count it. And I could see the licensed stuff continuing for a good while after Hasbro themselves have packed it in - I'd be willing to bet that the Bishoujo figures will still be in production by the time G5 starts, for example.

I agree I t will be licensed goods like shirts, bags, accessories a random figure here and there. Much like what you see at Hot Topic of other decades old cartoons. Hot Topic and other nerd retailers will be where you find this stuff. Places like Target and Walmart will stock G5 toys and merch for kids

I think that because of the popularity of G4 there might be a noticable "final" toy item. Maybe even a collectors item. Idk but the whole Rainbow Roadtrip line is pretty big and it might be the last "final line"

I might buy it, but as others have said, it depends on what the actual item is.

I feel like the last thing will be something random, like licensed socks or something.

Oh, that's a good point. I mean heck, I'm wearing a G1 shirt from Hot Topic right now, and there's a lot of 90s Nickelodeon stuff in stores these days. FiM was/is popular enough that I could easily see stores like Hot Topic making stuff for them years from now.

There was still random licensed G3 items in stores well into G3.5 and partially into G4. I've seen G3 stickers at Michaels sometime in the last couple years but those may finally be completely replaced with G4 now...

Depends on IF I like it and its easily available. I'm not going out of my way for an item in a generation I'm not terribly fond of, was late sort of getting into and holds my ire more then my interest.

I wouldn't mind another pack of those Mishmash ponies with completely different characters Hasbroken hint hint.

Most likely not.  I just purchased the friendship collection with Minty online and it’s a good bet that will be the last thing I buy.  I just don’t foresee them releasing any new characters at this point for G4 and I’m trying to limit myself to just new brushable characters now.

I also agree it’ll be hard to tell what is the last if we are including licensed stuff.  If we are talking Hasbro, then it’s still possible that stuff that was never picked up by the bigger stores might show up at the discount chains even after G5 has launched.
