Hi everyone!
I am so excited and happy right now!!!
Yesterday i've been called by Hasbro because they wanted to send me another gift and this morning i have received it at my parents home.
My mom called me at work and she told me a very nice bag was delivered by Hasbro and i was so curious so iìve asked her to open it and tell me what's inside.
She told me they were two ponies called Cadance and Shining Armor, so i thought "Oh nice! the rayal couple loose!". But she told me also that there were some item and accessories so i thought it was some parts from the castle too.
But didn't told me one particular about it.
That it was indeed a MIB set.
Yes you heard that.
:biggrin:

I am speechless!
They are both so cute and SA has real hair! A mohawk, but real pony hair!
My God! I love the people at Hasbro!!!!
p.s.: sorry for the bad pics but i couldn't resist for a better light! I will take new and more detailed pics soon!
-
Amazing Sosilver! He looks so cute in his little outfit! x
-
I just saw this post on your ponyoftheday blog! I can't wait to see them out of the box and see how Shining Armor's hair looks.
Congrats! That was pretty nice of Hasbro~
-
Wow, how awesome! They look beautiful :D
-
This is so cute! I like him having Real hair!! Just out of curiousity, what happened for them to send it to you?
-
Wow, aren't you the lucky pony? :)
-
:lovey: :lovey: :lovey: Hooray Hasbro Italy!! They certainly love you SoSilver for everything you do for them What an absolutely awesome gift!! Congrats so much hunny:)
-
Yes! I feel so lucky!
I have received them because i had the chance to borrow my ponies to hasbro in a couple of Faairs and i am helping them with all the pony help they need to improve their relationship within the italian pony community!
They are amazing!!!
-
Cool. What's a "Crystal Empire"? Is that Queen Chrysalis's kingdom?
You have a Shining Armor and Changeling?!?! :shocked:
-
Are they fashion style sized? :O
-
It says Crystal Fashion Style, so I'd assume they're fashion style! Wow, what a wonderful gift!
-
Yes they re fashion Style size!
I can't stop looking at them!
-
I love fashion styles! Didn't even know Cadence and Shining Armor would be available as FSs. I sooo want them. Unfortunately it seems liek they're target exclusives, which means that I'll have to buy them over priced and with high shipping price from ebay. :(
-
FASHION STYLE SIZE!!! :whoa: :faint:
it seems toy fair and taobao/ebay haven't revealed all the secrets about what will be released :lol:
That's so wonderful SoSilver!! Congrats on such a great gift!
OMG I hope these come to the US, I will be stalking Target for them come fall...
-
Whoa, what a great present! Didn't know these two are coming as FS!
-
AHHHHHHH! its so beautiful i might go bliiiind!!!!
and, shining armour with real hair! just... *faints* but... he's a punk now? whats up with that mohawk? XD
-
Wow wow wow!
That's so exciting, I'm so happy that there's going to be a Shining Armour with real hair (and I love pony mohawks!) and he has his jacket! Thank you for sharing this with us! *squeal*
-
They are amazing!!!
Yes they are. But you are even more amazing for letting Hasbro borrow your ponies! Hasbro is lucky to have you as a fan:)
-
I was completely devastated when I heard Hasbro damaged your MOC ponies when they mailed them back to you after one of the fairs. >.<
This gift makes at least a step toward compensating you. It's SO awesome. Those are the best FS I've seen!
Thanks for sharing pics!!
-
Haha... I love his mohawk. XD Cute!
-
Cool. What's a "Crystal Empire"? Is that Queen Chrysalis's kingdom?
You have a Shining Armor and Changeling?!?! :shocked:
Ha, i highly doubt that is supposed to be Queen Chrysalis. XP The Crystal empire might be related to Princess Cadance? She is a princess after all.
Anyways, those look adorable an that is really awesome of Hasbro! I'm also amused they keep Cadence her fully purple wings on every toy of her. They should have given the regular Shining Armor hair like this.
-
I am SO getting them. Even if the shipping is terrible and they are expensive, I WILL get them sooner or later !! I MUST !! *dies*
-
Lol poor SA. First troll hair, now a Mohawk...but at least he'll be easy for customizers to rehair now. And what an awesome surprise, congrats!! :)
-
Italy Hasbro > Other Hasbro XD
-
OH MY GOD! I'm seriously about to cry now! O__O They're just gorgeous! I'll NEEEEEED this set!
-
So cool!!! Wow, that's so awesome that they gave you this!! I can't wait to see these two IRL ^^ Congratulations!
-
OH MY GOD! I'm seriously about to cry now! O__O They're just gorgeous! I'll NEEEEEED this set!
^ Seconded. Holy wow I can't even. Need. NAO NAO NAO!! I'm going to be so so so so broke come fall xD
-
Oh my....wow!!! Mega congrats!! I must get those!!! Real hair on Shining Armor!! :D
-
OMG I want them both so bad!!
-
Oh my gosh, they are lovely!
That seal on the box "Crystal empire", might that be a new collection?
-
Woah, Hasbro Italy are certainly awesome!
I really hope they decide to release these in the UK too!
-
It also says 'only at target' so I'm betting 'Crystal Empire' is going to be like the canterlot line.
Neat surprise there!
I am bummed that hasbro didn't do a male pony styling sized mold, they just re-used the generic unicorn one :/ no fuzzy feet. And the mohawk? Why can't they get his hair right? still cool, and if/when they come to the states I may buy it.
-
What lovely ponies! Fantastic surprise from Hasbro! :D
I can't wait til these come out!!!
-
I was offered a FS Cadance a wile ago from a friend in china but I assumed it was just a non-exclusive version of Celestia. Shining armor is a surprise though.
-
Oh. My. Gosh! Want so bad! Yay! What a great set!
-
I am bummed that hasbro didn't do a male pony styling sized mold, they just re-used the generic unicorn one :/ no fuzzy feet.
I agree with this! I wish they had made a male mold with fetlocks!
-
Wow, Hasbro Italy is awesome! What a lovely gesture! Major congratulations on receiving the royal couple!
I'm so, so pleased to see Shining Armor with real pony hair. And with his lovely uniform, too!
-
That's an awesome gift! I can't wait til this is available, I must have Shining Armor! :lovey:
-
I'm speechless ....
-
YESS! Fashion Style ponies are my favorite! I can't wait for this set to be released! Soooo cool!
-
Linked on EQD
[link removed - apologies - hathorcat]
-
oh my gosh...fashion style boys? I think i could die happy now...
-
Oh my gosh, what an awesome gift from Hasbro Italy! I would have fainted with happiness! :)
And look! Shining Armor has real hair! I wish they'd given him a new mould to go with it but real hair! I needs it. :)
-
That is SO cool, huge congrats! If anyone deserves that in the community it's you though :lovey: Super nice of Hasbro!
-
meh. this probably won't be something I'll be getting, unless it's on sale or something. shining armor looks way too weird for my tastes. but congrats on the awesome surprise from hasbro! :)
-
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!! Wow!! <3
-
I'm so glad I don't like the set. Ponies are costing way too much as it is, and I'm sure this set wouldn't be less than $30. I'm excited about Target getting another exclusive set, though since I did really like most of the Canterlot set, I just don't like these. Here's what I don't like about each of them specifically:
Shining Armor:
- I don't like that he has a female head and body mold. Male and female ponies on the show have different shaped feet and mouths, which is what makes them easy to tell apart. So that makes this Shining Armor a female look-alike pony cos-playing as him.
- I don't like the mohawk
- I don't like how his eyes don't fit properly in the indents
Cadence:
- She's too dark. You can clearly see on the box, she's supposed to be a lighter pink.
- I hate the solid purple wings. It looks like she ripped off Luna's wings and attached them to herself. She's supposed to have pink wings with a purple gradient.
I can't wait to see what else they have in this set, but I just hope everything else looks better than these two.
-
God damn, based god! I can't wait for these to hit stores. Mega congrats!
-
huge congrats!

Most mast ponies do NOT have hairy hooves, only some of them!
-
Cool. What's a "Crystal Empire"? Is that Queen Chrysalis's kingdom?
You have a Shining Armor and Changeling?!?! :shocked:
Perhaps Crystal Empire is going to be like the Canterlot stuff.
-
eee!! skip the castle set, I'll wait for this pair!!!
-
Oh, how neat. I'd love to get this set. :)
-
How wonderful! Love that SA has brushable hair now! Can't wait to see what other sets these two will be in!
-
Hey I just thought of something.... This was NOT on Taobao first!

Even the males that do not have hairy hooves still have a different body shape. I like Cadence but I am disappointed in SA.
-
Oh god they're so awesome!!! I NEED them!! That was nice of Hasbro to send you a present, but it was even nicer for you to help them out!
-
Please can we not rain on SoSilver's parade by derailing! I'm sure there will be many opportunities to discuss what we like/dislike about the couple, but let's not get away from the beautiful relationship SoSilver has with Hasbro Italy:) Let's celebrate his awesome (and unexpected) gift of kindness from a company who has needed his help in the past.

-

Wow, how wonderful of them :) but you really deserve it, you´ve done a lot for them ^^ i´s so great to see such a great producer - consumer relationship :)
-
haha I saw this on tumblr. Huge congrats!
-
Congrats! What an awesome gift!
Elf
-
Shining Armor is adorable with his little mohawk! I hope they make more boy G4s like Big Macintosh!
-
I'm officially jealous :o
-
What an awesome surprise!

This. Not everyone has to like the G4s, but let's keep this conversation about SoSilver's happy gift :)
-
OMG! Congrats! How awesome! A FS boy!!
-
wow! what an amazing a gift! a set that hasn't been released or that anyone knew about!!!
-
This is great. Hasbro is so good to you!
-
Is it just me or does Shining Armor look quite troubled on the first picture?
-
Congrats to you SoSilver! This set is lovely, I can't wait! Shame it's a Target exclusive AGAIN though.
-
Looks at the date - not first April.
Gosh so these are real!??????
I love them and me wants now.... thank you hasbro for making more FS Ponies! yay
Congrats so sooooo much! :shocked:
-
Youre so lucky! I need a styling Cadence so bad!!
-
I will definitely be on the look out for these when they are released! Congrats on the surprise!
-
awesome!! Also cool how its a US exclusive and Hasbro IT got ahold of it.
Also, I know someone asked what Crystal Empire is, I'm assuming it's the new MLP movie that is coming out soon :-)
-
New movie!? Where did this news come from Clipper?!
They are so adorable! Congrats SS! Hasbro IT is SO amazing to you! Shows that they really do love their fans! Congrats again!
I just wish hasbro would give him long hair! But beggars cannot be choosers! I am just happy that they gave him real hair and a FS!!!!!
-
not again only at target :(((
-
I don't really get the complaints about the hair and mold, at least the set has fairly show-accurate accessories and clothes for the ponies, unlike the other FS ponies
-
I'm with Michelle, I think a discussion about whether we like them or not should be at a different time to this...
This is GREAT news SoSilver!! :cheer: sooooo happy for you! :D xx
-
Oh they're fantastic!! How lucky you are!!! Congratulations!! :cheer:
-
OMG, great gift! Those are some lovely fashion ponies! Hope they release those here, cause my daughter will love em. lol! ♥
-
Great present! Congrats! I love they're Fashion Style! Will be s.talking Target again! :lol:
-
oh that is fabulous :D
love pkw xxx
-
Oh congrats sweetie! I ll come back to your pm just shortly!
That is a fantastic gift and you completely deserve it for being willing to donate your ponies for display to HB! Long may their need to borrow your G1s continue!
-
omg! I soo want that FS pair!!
-
Wow! Congrats! You deserve it and what a total surprise!
-
Also, I know someone asked what Crystal Empire is, I'm assuming it's the new MLP movie that is coming out soon :-)
I had figured that "Crystal Empire" was the name of the new Target line. Right now, they have the "Canterlot" line of exclusive toys.
But if it's a movie, then the excitement has been doubled!
It's great to see a Fashion Style Shining Armor!
-
...I think people should be free to mention what they do or don't like about the toy. It's not like they have feelings to hurt. And besides, people have mentioned Hasbro people sometimes lurk here? If they see the critiques, wouldn't that be helpful? :\
But I think this is a really sweet surprise, it's really nice to be able to see an upcoming product and completely know it's legit, unlike Taobao things where you can never be one hundred percent sure. Can't wait to see what other sort of items will be a part of this line, and I hope they're available to a lot of people, and not just the states. It seems like a lot of the Canterlot stuff did get to Europe, but not Canada, and even when we do get Target, I'm kind of doubtful.
-
What a fantastic gift for Hasbro to surprise you with! Congratulations, SoSilver :D
-
They look great Fashion Style size, love that Shining Armor has a mowhawk, too cute.
-
Nice, I didn't even know they were planning on making FS versions of those two... I wonder if those will be out everywhere though :huh:
-
Awesome! Now I don't have to worry about spending all the money to get the castle! I'll just wait until they are available in FS!
-
Congrats on that awesome gift ! Being kind and helpful pays off ! ! ! (a lesson to us all. or rather, to Celestia :) )
I actually like the use of FS Rarity's mold for Shining Armor.
-
Holy monkeys that is awesome!!! Congrats SoSilver! :cheer:
And for what it's worth not all 'Target exclusive' items were only sold in the USA; Tesco stores in the UK also carried some sets and I'm sure there were stores in the EU too that carried them :) (Fingers crossed Stresscos gets them!)

Indeed. I'm in Belgium, Europe and I can tell you we're getting all of Target's exclusive left-overs it seems :) (Minus the Target sticker :) )

Oh man ! I hope I can get it here, then !! :D That would SO make it easier for me to get the set !!
-
Hi thank you everyone!
i am still over the moon! It has been an amazing pony week and soon i will post all the things i've received in the last 7 days!
And i don't mind if not everybody likes them, it's a normal thing^_^
Hugs everyone and thank you again for all the love!
-
...can we get out of the box pics of Shining Armor....? Pretty please?? ;)
-
Wow what a great present ^.^ congrats!
-
...can we get out of the box pics of Shining Armor....? Pretty please?? ;)
I'm pretty sure SoSilver is a MIB collector, so probably no loose pics just yet ^^
-
Happy that I wont have to buy the castle set to enjoy them ^.^
Hopefully this means they will be released soon!!

These aren't the same ones from the castle set, so if you still want normal sized Shining Armor and Cadence, you'll still need to buy the castle. These ones are the bigger Fashion Style size, which are also in completely different molds from the smaller ones that come with the castle playset.
-
This is so great, i want them too! :lovey:
Congrats on such a nice gift. Isn't Hasbro the best?! They sended me Applejacks Slumberparty a couple weeks ago.
-
I would die if I found free ponies in my postbox, let alone free ponies, directly from Hasbro, that are unreleased. :shocked:
-
Omg they are so adorable. I love Candance! Congrats! It's wonderful to hear that Hasbro italy has a good relationship with you and hopefully other collectors. :D I can't wait to see them in stores in the states.
-
Sorry! For the moment they will remain MIB^_^'
-
CONGRATS! So cool of Hasbro to send you those gifts!
-
They are both so cute! I never thought we would see a fashion style boy.
Crystal Empire, eh? Hm. May be the next set after the Royal Wedding.
-
There is a set up on evilbay right now with out of the box pics.
-

Aww Shining's hair! It's so funny I love it.
They really do look like "mare and colt" to me... I think Shining looks younger than Cadance in those ver. because they used the same girl mold for him. They are still adorable though and I still want them. XD

-
This will probably end up being the only FS ponies I get ;D Look at Shining armor's amazing mohawk! I must have it. Lol x3
-
Did the auction have them with all their little accessories and clothing loose as well? I cant wait to see that!

Sounds fine to me. Cadance is an Alicorn and who knows how old she is?
-

They're wearing their little stuff from the box cat :) If you go to American ebay and search "shining armor princess cadence: you can find them

I give in - I ll wait for the auction end lol! I think I have broken ebay...
-
I love the fashion style ponies, and I am excited to see this set! :)
-
So silver, what is this blog...I don't know about it, but I'd like to:D
-
Wow theyre awesome!!
-
So silver, what is this blog...I don't know about it, but I'd like to:D
SoSilver runs his own pony of the day blog - here is the link http://ponyoftheday.tumblr.com/

Am I stupid? Could'nt find the auction :blink:
-
Am I stupid? Could'nt find the auction :blink:
Nope neither could I lol! And that was even when I was spelling armor the US way rather than UK.
Maybe its hidden from non US IPs? [weird didnt know that was possible on ebay]
-
Thanks you hathorcat! I'm gonna check it out :D
-
"Only available at Target" Welp, it's time to go venture off to Target.
-
Am I stupid? Could'nt find the auction :blink:

Full title is "My Little Pony G4 FiM: SHINING ARMOR & PRINCESS CADENCE 6'' *RARE Very*!! NEW~". When I searched first time, ebay returned 0 results, but there was a link called "Show the results that may be unavailable to you". I clicked it, and finally got this auction! It looks like seller allowed only US people to bid.
-
I didnt know ebay actually blocked IPs from seeing certain items - you learn something new everyday...
I needed to activate an IP shield to find it lol! What we do for ponies.
