There are also these that remain totally unexplained:

There are a few pink glittery Pinkie Pies, but I'm not convinced any of them are quite the same shade, and all the colors match Cadance's perfectly. It doesn't look like an accident. There's also a yellow metallic Rarity, but that one could be chalked up to an experiment with the old metallic Applejack color.
Someday we'll see Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Spike. It truly baffles me that we haven't already.Ugh, seriously. They made
I wonder about that glittery Cadance becauseahhh! If they started doing some stuff inspired by the chapter books I would be so happy. I downloaded an unnoficial audio book of crystal heart spell and had to keep pausing because the puns had me in stitches! They're way better than I anticipated. Very much want.The new metallic Rarity's are neat. I wouldn't mind more metallics being released though I wish they'd at least finish out the Mane 6.Spoilerin the book Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell it says Cadance used to be a pegasus, so it'd be interesting if that got released.
Forgot about this one (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,341817.0.html):Ehh, my money's on that one being a mixnmatch pony. Tropical Storm's body, Rainbow Dash's eyes, :muffin: 's cutie mark, and there's a few different possibilities for her hair paint, depending on the light--could have come from Peachy Sweet, Fluttershy, or Berryshine/Punch.

I understand nooooooothiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiingMaybe this guy? (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111213200922/mlp/images/3/31/Roy_G._Bow_S01E16.png)
(especially not that rainbow cutie mark. I thought he was the guy with the scroll! what is this!)
Think it's possible someone's just adding glitter like we've seen with the brushables? Some of it doesn't look very even/tidy. And PurpleLane's mane is only half painted.I think it's possible, yeah. The purple boy also seems to have Prism Glider's CM.
I do like how Twilight's separately molded accoutrements are translucent yellow!
I understand nooooooothiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

Glitter covered versions.Something about this mold bothers me...

This. :)
There are so many "made up" and tester blind bags floating around now, unless something is completely unique its hard to tell if its going to be a release or not!
well looks like Hasbro is making use of the set molds... I still really don't like that Fluttershy or P. Twilight mold though x.xIt's so much less detailed than other molds. The hair especially. It bothers me, but less than when I first saw it. Guess it grows on you.Glitter covered versions.Something about this mold bothers me...

Lightning Dust with glitter on. Mane and tail are unpainted, though, and she's got the wrong eye color, so I'm calling prototype.

Wave 9 Peachy Sweet, Wave 9 Amethyst Star, and Wave 3 Rainbowshine. All with glittery translucent bodies, unlike their regular versions.
Alternatively, that might be Diamond Mint (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110912071442/mlp/images/f/ff/Saddleless_diamond_mint.png), since Amethyst Star has never been that blue.
Oh, awesome! A glittery Golden Harvest would be a decent explanation for the yellow glitter Pinkie with the Snips cutie mark, wouldn't it?
I made this summary pic the other day, in case anyone's losing track:

This leaves me wondering why we haven't seen a translucent Snips(y Snap) or Lightning Dust...Lightning Dust is on the graphic up there, I have two of her. :) And the translucent neon ponies seem to be the glitter ponies pre-glitter, so I'm sure there are some non-glittered Snips hanging out somewhere!
It is odd isnt it the way so many of the ponies are being given a different finish [pastel-ise them, glitter-ise them, make them translucent] and released several times. I know its probably too much to expect 24 shiny new characters every single time, but the last few waves have been a little repetitive.Agreed. :/ Wave 9 is already pretty disappointing to me, besides giving me a chance to get lots of Cadance and Fluttershy baits. Give me new characters, darnit!

I think her symbol is the same as the Snips mini figure.:throw: oh of course :blink:. thank you ;) silly me, i was looking at all the blind bags
Ah, that one. Yep, she's a mystery! Definitely testing the Snips cutie mark, but besides that...? If she is a prototype for a specific wave 10 pony, and not just miscellaneous testing, my best guess would be Aunt Orange, seeing as her husband's been released three times now:love it :D

Other, variously plausible contenders:
I don't know about it being an Aunt Orange figure. Seems a little too general in mould terms... :huh:
I'm guessing they'd invent a new character, you know, something like Scissory Snips or something. There is a remote possibility that this is a upcoming season 4 spoiler, maybe she's Snip's mother :huh:.
I wish they would do some of the common background pony vectors as molds, since really they mostly use the same handful over and over in the show.
Ah, my bad, I hadn't see Sea Swirl's tail in a while, but I always thought she looked the same as the others xD They could use the Cherry Berry/Berry Punch earth pony model, too. That one gets re-used a lot.
I must admit, I am liking the look of the coloured ponies rolled in glitter. I didn't care for Wave 4 but these look a lot more interesting. And like sweets. Nom.
I still don't understand why Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle haven't had a blind bag release yet =/
I am betting on a Mini Figs pack for the pair of them. We know the moulds for them exist due to the Russian releases and as you say it seems very peculiar so many random characters would have a release but not 2 main characters.

visitors can't see pics , please register or loginMaybe another solid color set is in the works too?
#5 looks like a reverse color Dainty Daisy and #6 Forsythia in AJ's mold instead of Rarity's.

The "SHOW" columns are for ponies who appeared in the show prior to their appearance in the toyline, as main characters or background characters or anywhere in-between. The "TOYS" columns is for everyone else.Yeah, Sassaflash is on the front of the box.I was kinda hoping she was mis-named since the one on display at toy fair was Lightning Dust even though the box said Sassaflash. ^^;
Could Hasbro be thinking they're not gonna get many repeat buyers, so they may as well do the same characters over and over?I'd assume yes, the same reason they go with Mane 6 + Princesses brushables over and over.
To be honest--and this could just be me here--before MLP, I never really actively bought blind bag or box items seriously, they were just something neat to grab one or two of, open (preferably with a friend), and see what I got. It was the surprise that was the exciting part, not the collecting part. Could Hasbro be thinking they're not gonna get many repeat buyers, so they may as well do the same characters over and over?
I see them get bought in bulk for parties, presumably to give one to each guest or something similar.
It probably looks too much like I.
I almost wonder if it was a fluke. There was still a wave 8 box on the shelf there too and Wave 9 has still been pretty scarce.
Look what I found at Target! :biggrin:

Woah omg, I think I might go tonight and check!!! Thanks for sharing! I want that Rainbow Swoop!
It's okay! All the stores in my area had moved onto wave 7, when Toys R Us backtracked to wave 5 for a long time. Getting the waves out of order isn't unheard of!I never got wave 5 either, I don't know why stores around here aren't carrying them.. :blink:
