characters that should have toys but don't
« on: Yesterday at 07:45:28 AM »
there are so many instances in g5 where it feels like they are trying to sell toys but then don't

they went out of their way to give all the dragons names when most of them are pretty much just background characters with no development they also made the dragons more pony like and even though it was stated that it was just because they wanted to reuse the pony rig for the dragons it also makes them look a lot more toyetic as a result it seems like they were using the dragons to sell toys yet they only made one of them as a toy as far as we know

the auracorns and blue thunders (or whatever that one pegasus band was called I dont remember) have a design similar to that one mane 5 set with the translucent glitter plastic but they don't have any toys made of them at all

ruby jubilee seems like the kind of character to have one of those talking/singing princess type toys made of her (similar to pipp/songbird serenade) and her design is really pretty but all we got for bridlewoodstock was just some dress up toys of the main five

they brought back the breezies for pretty much no reason they were always made to sell toys but they did nothing in terms of toys with them and the show would be pretty much the same without them the night market could have just been a unicorn thing

posey/the dreamlands are a pretty easy nostalgia cash in but no toys were really made of them (I know there is a mini world magic posey but im talking about mainline toys) posey played a huge role in the first make your mark special and it almost seemed like she was going to be a main character for a minute until misty showed up but she does not even get a basic brushable 

why is hasbro trying to sell us nonexistent toys

I'm not even a g5 fan but if they would just put some toys on the shelves they could convert me

Do I like the g5 toy style? No. Do I want to purchase 1000 different new brushable pony and or dragon toys, unbox them and brush their hair? Absofreakinglutely

This is the main problem with G5: so many characters, so few toys of them. It was also an issue with G4, & G3 didn't even make Spike, let alone half the unicorns & a quarter of the pegasi...

Even G1's Tales didn't have every character made. The most common G1 Customs are of Teddy, Lancer, Ace, & Miss Hackney, so what does that tell you???

Hasbro

Because if they did make toys of more characters, they'd fly off the shelves!!!
