I'd actually really like a Power Rangers pony, but also I'm biased because I like PR anyway. :P
Not gonna lie, it is really weird though.
If it's in those weird "retro Mane 6" molds I won't buy it though. I really dislike those molds. They're in the uncanny valley for me, lol.
It does feel really pandery though, I cannot shake that fact.
If they were Basic Fun, they would’ve been mentioned in the desc., right? I wouldn’t be surprised since they did ST Applejack, but this seems like a Hasbro idea to me.
What an odd thing.. I guess it makes sense though, those IPs are all from the same-ish era.baffling crossover, to me. Even if we put the reason being for third as they are shows from the same era, as you said- I think shows like Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears would be far more suited for pony crossovers.
I already need the Ghostbusters pony though. I hope it glows in the dark!
(This reminds me of Tubbz, if anyone has heard of those - "cosplaying rubber ducks", which imo were influenced by customized ponies.)

idk about Power Rangers/Ghostbusters, but Transformers is already owned by Hasbro. Care Bears/SSC aren't Hasbro, right? They probably wanted to keep it to their own properties.
MLP/TF isn't all that odd, they've always been kind of brother/sister franchises (heck didn't they have a comic crossover recently?), but the others do seem kind of... out of nowhere.
I would flip if Basic Fun did Prime Pony on a Big Brother mould. :happy:
if speculation is right about these being a comic Con exclusive or something then the cross over choices make sense to me. Maybe it could be basic fun since they did Majesty last year

They acquired Power Rangers if rumor is true.
Like so many other releases, I've gotta see the pony in person before I decide!I agree on this.
Crossing over FiM-style (unless "retro" refers to the Basic Fun ponies and not the new funky G3/G4 hybrid) with random popular franchises from the 80s and 90s instead of using ponies from the 80s and 90s. I hate to see it.
Power Rangers and Ghostbusters are even more baffling than Transformers. And look at all these franchises having largely male fanbases instead of doing a crossover with another girl property. Last grasp at securing some Brony money, I assume.
Edit: at least the Stranger Things Basic Fun AJ had some merit as MLP was referenced in season 3...

Good points. Its not fair that other 80s/90s franchises get a retro look but not MLP. Although modern PR doesn't seem to have changed much stylistically.
Its not like Hasbroken doesn't have any other girl franchises under their belt. A JatH, LPS and Moondreamers crossover with MLP would not be unwelcome. Especially if Basic Fun might be doing it.

Other than Jem none of those have a significant adult fanbase. Suspecting these were for Comic Con, they would want to go with things that have an adult fanbase.

I believe they aquired Saban (including Power Rangers) in 2018 and they got the license for Ghostbusters last year. So everything is within their own portfolio of brands/licenses.

Ahh, okay, thanks :D Then that makes sense. I imagine trying to secure the licenses for two different properties (I'm pretty sure CB/SSC are owned by different people still?) would be a nightmare (not to mention the other companies in question might want to have their own say as to what the final product would look like), much easier to just use their own properties.
Though, yeah, why not crossover with two other girly toys? I guess maybe you could argue LPS doesn't have any "iconic" characters like GB/TF/PR do (there's the TV show with Pepper, Zoe, etc but I get the impression that didn't really take off like they wanted it to?), but Jem ponies would be adorable! And would at least make more sense than Power Rangers, lol. Feels weird to have that in here since that's more 90s than 80s, right?

It'd be fun if Hasbro did more crossovers with "girly" franchises (like, franchises were girls are the target demographic...of course all genders can like any franchise). I don't mind Transformers or Power Rangers, but the target audience is male so it really does feel like a brony cash grab...
Personally, I prefer my ponies to be pretty rather than cool. That's why I would want them to do a crossover with like LPS or My Pretty Mermaid (if they even still have the license to do that one :lol: ). The Ghost Busters or Transformer pony will be cool, but I personally just prefer a pony that is pretty. I don't really think a pony in a ghostbuster suit is pretty, but that's my opinion. Besides, I don't even know what it'll look like so maybe it will be really pretty in all actuality.
I guess I'm frustrated in the fact that it's mostly boy aimed toys that get retro releases but not as many girl aimed toys. I think this is why if they did a crossover with a more girl aimed toy, it'd help bring back interest in that franchise. Everyone already likes transformers and power rangers, so why not give Moon Dreamers a chance?
Oh yeah, because Hasbro is scared it might not be profitable.
I wish that operating on what makes money wasn't the bottom line, but that's just how companies work. Why take a risk when you could play it safe?
We have had some resurgence in girl aimed toys making a comeback, such as the retro Polly Pocket stuff that was released. If they did well, maybe companies will start releasing other retro female aimed toys?
I don't know that's just my word vomit on this situation. I hope I made sense and didn't offend anyone. I tried to be as sensitive with this topic as I could. This is just my opinion and assumption on why we aren't getting as much retro girl aimed toys and I could be totally wrong. Also there's a difference between retro and revival, which is why I didn't mention She-Ra. ^^;
I'm interested if it's a true G1, G3, or G4 mold but , like others have said, if it's that weird fake retro mold, I'm out. I have no idea why they had to go and make those things...

I love it too. Most of them anyway. If only they'd do other ponies in it. Hasbro's last return to roots and form of the brand and people can only ignore or hiss at it like angry cats because its not completely G1 or G3. I could understand being upset and ignoring them because its more Mane Suxx, that made me angry too. But sometimes I wonder if constant complaining is why they don't want much to do with us?

Our complaints on pony forums are like screaming into the void because we are not the ones pestering them on social media and hacking their websites.
Nobody ever sent Hasbro employees death threats just because the retro M6 looked cheap.
But sometimes I wonder if constant complaining is why they don't want much to do with us?

Honestly wouldn't surprise me at all. Look at how people reacted to the Running Press ponies. I loved those things, but people trashed them because they weren't a perfect miniature reproduction of the original Firefly/Glory. Sure we're not running around screaming death threats at Hasbro, but there is a definite trend of "Retro/repro/etc thing is released -> Older gen fans whine about it cause it's not an exact replica" :P

You come across very condescending and rude, also why did you bring up dollymix, it was not mentioned anywhere here? (dollymix is unattractive especially the beady eyes) Are you calling that retro 6 pack dollymix 2.0? Its not a dollymix line
Also that retro 6 pack is poorly sculpted, badly screen printed, with cheap limp hair and overall low quality. That's why I hiss at it :)
eh, we knew all along the pic we had of RP Firefly was photoshopped. But yeah, they should've given us an actual photo of her ahead of time.
The Loyal Subject ponies still don't do it for me (the price + blindbox..ed..ness was the biggest turn-off for me) but I like that they exist. :B
although hang on, how did the subject of the Retro Main 6 molds come up at all? They still haven't said which molds these are gonna be in, right?
OH okay, I getcha. I got sort of lost for a minute there ^^; Lots of stuff going on in this thread.
Well, it'll be interesting to see which molds they go with. I wouldn't be opposed to them bringing back the Retro Rainbow molds for these, they're much better than the Reveal the Magic ponies IMO. They'd fit the "old school" aesthetic more, too (it'd be weird to have something based off these 80s/90s properties but in a super-modern style, right? Well, not unheard of, certainly, but you get what I mean).

Other than Jem none of those have a significant adult fanbase. Suspecting these were for Comic Con, they would want to go with things that have an adult fanbase.
And this right here is the problem.
Women don't get to enjoy childish stuff, only men. Women are supposed to leave girl stuff behind and become adults who then go on to cater to men who get to stay childish.
That's why Jem will never be Ghostbusters. Because virtually nobody is interested in gearing that stuff to adult women in the first place.
Mattel did Gotham City Sirens Polly Pocket a few years ago, Frankie Stein as a 2016 Ghostbuster, last year they had Barbie as Mystique, Dark Phoenix and Storm from X-Men - these I consider good efforts to link a girl property with a nerd property for women.
Hasbro is lazy as hell when they cross over pony with ectoplasm. I'll say the Pink Ranger is still fun because the Pink Ranger always is the token girl and Pinkie Pie is Hasbro's flagship pony. But ectoplasm and Optimus Prime - nope. Especially when those fandoms are horrible towards female fans who dare to prefer female characters.
I remember when that particular Frankie came out male GB fans were like "ewwww why is this the feminist reboot garbage? Who wants that? Nobody will buy this!" :lookround:
I'll cut them some slack and say this is still better than muffin pony. However it's a step back from last year where they made Majesty and the Twilight doublepack. It's like they are constantly trying to cut off MLP from the female fanbase because we have less disposable income than the dudes. We allegedly only buy make-up, jewelry and clothing and of course stuff for our kids.
This way female properties will never become big.
Isn't Hasbro doing the Marvel Legends line? Why not have female Marvel superhero ponies. But HotCheetoDust69 and IHateTheLastJedi1990 would not buy those, I guess :cool:
Glo Friends!!! And Moondreamers!!! Cute, glowing Ponies!!!
Thank you for clarifying Leave a Whisper, I see what you mean by them being more horse like. I too wish for more horse like appearences (I also wish for more effort but it seems like Hasbro just can't be bothered in general)
I also hope basic fun is doing them, and that they are cute at least
I wish they'd have picked another 80s property rather than power rangers, Jem was a good idea.
What other 80s properties that Hasbro has access to would you want to see crossed over with MLP everyone?

Collectors don't have to like everything. I don't think me mentioning a particular mold isn't my cup of tea ONCE qualifies as constant complaining. I never mentioned Dollymix, either. Are you confusing me with someone else?
I just find the fake repro designs bizarre and unnecessary, since they could have just used molds already in existence.
I LOVED the idea. Just not the execution. So I didn't buy the set. I'm glad that some people enjoy them.
I think the G3 repros were kind of odd, too. I mean, it's nice to see some G3 love, but... why? The originals are easy to find, and I feel like we're still a few years away from really being able to play the nostalgia angle with G3. (Now if they'd been G2 repros, then we'd be talking!)G2 repros & Flutters, yes please!!!
I so wish they hadn't canned the Flutters :(
Its still really weird mixing it it together with an 80s movie property, a boys toytoon and a 90s live action show.

But that's my point. It's different, and it doesn't mean it's automatically bad.
I don't understand WHY they don't mix. Is it because it's a "boy" thing? (It's 2020, so let's nope on that). It just sounds like a personal opinion.
I'm also not judging till I see it.

Considering there are lovely zombie pony customs, I think MLP can mix with a lot of things.
Another thing I was thinking of but maybe they don't want to do a Jem pony because it's become too "high end" a brand with the Integrity dolls and crossovers with expensive makeup brands.
But there were those weird MLP Integrity dolls, and I think they've had at least one high-end makeup tie-in, too? (Sephora maybe? I'm sure I saw pics of MLP makeup somewhere)
I think they just went for the properties they thought would have the most "universal" appealor which would appeal to bronies more.
(Ahaha, "universal appeal" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMbDgwu87xg)! I just realized that. Hee hee.)
Actually wait. Can we get a Cutesaurus pose for the Power Ranger one? :silly:

Those are customs. Personally I don't care for zombies. They're not my thing.
And I still think the MLP/Stranger Things and TF/Ghostbusters crossovers were weird choices. Came out cool looking, but still a strange choice.
Ghostbusters pony!Dang I was really hoping these would be brushable. Plus I agree with the eyes being too low, I unfortunately will be skipping these.

She reminds me of G3 Applejack. :P I can't stand how they did her eyes (they're wayyyy too low IMO) but she's cute enough aside from that. Not for me, but still cute.
Maybe it is meant to be G3 AJ which is a total generational mishmash, but I agree with the Shady consensus. Probably because she can see things through her shades that others can't see :nod:
Seeing that these are using molded hair, I'm not sure I'd be as hyped about a Jem crossover anymore.
Seeing that these are using molded hair, I'm not sure I'd be as hyped about a Jem crossover anymore. Which is the only "girly" property likely since Hasbro never really made any of the other well known ones. Most of the other iconic 80s "girly brands" were owned by card companies. Tho I'm not sure if Care Bears counts as "girly" since colorful bears are pretty gender neutral. The only difference is boys would eschew them as " babyish" earlier than girls would.
Decided to move the eye XD

The description for this mentions Manehattan - from FiM - so I have noooo idea what gen these are meant to be. They've got traits from several different gens.
I'm really excited for these but a part of me is kinda hurt that if only Universal hadn't taken Hasbro's license to Jurassic World we'd probably be getting a Jurassic Park set. At least Mattel got to make Jurassic World barbies.
I'm also dissapointed that there was never a MLP x LPS crossover. Those two seem to be Hasbro's main "girl" lines.SpoilerBlythe always seemed like a strange choice for a collab with lps but whatever

I dunno I think a crossover with LPS would be mostly pointless unless it was the other way around. Like LPS pony molds designed to look like MLP characters could make sense. But unfortunately it seems Hasbro is taking a break from LPS. They had nothing for LPS at Toy Fair this year.SpoilerI think they just went with Blythe because they wanted a human character kids could relate to and her big headedness fit in with LPS.
Something just occurred to me. Will DnD, Ghostbusters, Transformers and Power Rangers get their own unique figures too?
A ghostly Transformer
A golden knight Power Ranger
A wizard ghost being sucked into a ghost trap
A TF Megazord
Otherwise this crossover is gonna be awfully one-sided.

Transformers / Ghostbusters has a figure! I think they turned the Ghostbusters' car into a TF for it. I believe his name is Ectotron. :)
Power Rangers / D&D would be wild. I guess it would be a ninja team with themed costumes but also they're wizards and barbarians?

Hasbro has been having crossovers with their "boy" lines for a while now. Off the top of my head there's been a Transformer/GI Joe crossover and a Transformer/Ghostbusters crossover as well as lots of Potato Head crossovers.
One of my friends has a licensed Hello Kitty / Transformers figure. (Exclusive to Japan I think.) The wildest part is that Hello Kitty is a Decepticon.
Something just occurred to me. Will DnD, Ghostbusters, Transformers and Power Rangers get their own unique figures too?
A ghostly Transformer
A golden knight Power Ranger
A wizard ghost being sucked into a ghost trap
A TF Megazord
Otherwise this crossover is gonna be awfully one-sided.

Yes I know that. But they're making it sound like this whole thing will be one big crossover
I was starting to think this is so heavily MLP as a way to keep the MLP brand present in the general public’s consciousness while we are in between shows/gens. Speaking of which, where is Pony Life. Is that show ever coming out?All I'm seeing on the internet it says "sometime in 2020". I'm going to assume late summer or in the fall at this point...
Decided to move the eye XD
That looks so much better! Why can’t Hasbro manage that?
I won't repeat my general opinions on these but whoever decided on the boxarts is a genius in my eyes. They look great and better than the figure on the inside. I'd love to know the artist(s).Indeed.
And the horrible eye placement - is that intentional?
God I hate it lol. I understand the body color more now that G3 Applejack was mentioned, but it's still ugly imo. And the horrible eye placement - is that intentional?
As much as I wanted to like it there's just.. nothing charming or appealing about this pony. They sure did lose my money.
Ooooh, good theory there, Sunset. That makes a lot of sense.What I want a unicorn potato head!
and hey, yeah, where's our MLP Potato Head? XD Well, I guess there WAS that unicorn Potato Head they made a while ago, that one clearly had Rarity's hair.

I’m not certain that is correct eye placement. Just a lot of extra decoration/bigger mask footprint between the eye and ear so that it’s not so noticeable.
The lack of hair is a dealbreaker for me on all of these releases. I get the rationale behind it, but I just don't like ponies that don't have hair I can brush :)
I do like that they're doing something quirky, but I'm not entirely convinced by the moulds.
I don't actually like any of them in terms of the way they look. They look a bit like someone made a chocolate pony for an easter egg novelty and then painted them :/

I do love both Transformers and My Little Pony. In my childhood, they crossed worlds frequently. I think the mash-up pony looks nice. I especially love the gear details. I don't know if I actually want one though.
It doesn't feel very pony to me. I think I would have liked it a lot better if they had gone with an original G1 mold with an Autobot symbol. Ok, and the gears too. Brushable all the way.
i like these and will probably pick the up.
BUT HOLD YOUR HORSES...
I think Hasbro is going for a FUNKO POP thing... if this is successful i have a feeling these will lead to dozens of other “repaints” of the same base pony into lots of different characters.
anyone else see it?

Wouldn't surprise me.
Wow wow wow! Those both look so good!
Hasbro must be running out of ideas!? Um go back to G1 ponies!But the main demographic of Hasbro toy purchasers are not interested in G1. Unless it's to mock their existence :(
I for one am happy about the molded hair. Don't get me wrong, brushables are nice, but ponies in G1 media (cartoons, comics, boxart) had such nice fluffy hair, I'd like to have a G1 style toy reflecting that.

Now if we could just get a Bowtie with pigtails.

Well, I did make this one out of the first G4 Applejack with molded hair, so we know that they have a general idea of how to make the hairstyle.

Nicely done

I guess talented artsy types could remove the eyes and repaint them in the proper spot?

I'd hope so but my fear is that the entire pony is painted, meaning you'll ruin the paint job trying to get the eye off.

Fair point.
I misread that as "MLP x Top Gun" and loudly said "WHAT" because I couldn't imagine what that would look like. :lol:

It says 11.5 centimeters.
That's only 4.5 inches.
:P
how are they in person? the D&D set?
(i got cold feet and cancelled my preorder)
Someone on tfw2005 said they found Prime and Power Ranger at Think Geek.
My Morphin Pony just arrived today. I really love her. <3 It's rare that I keep a pony in its box but I love the art so much.
