Ooooh! Yay!!!! No doll! So I guess she got shuffled into being this years Zecora or Shadowdash. Now the level of effort on her hair makes a little more sense.

Wow!  She looks great.  I actually really like how her little outfit looks.

She's a single? Oh, coolio! Maybe I'll get her after all. Even though I really dislike the painted on glasses.

A single and fabric clothing! Yay! Boo that she is TRU... I hate TRU's pricing for shipping stuff x.x never got Zecora because of that.. also again with painted glasses?

Well the last TRU exclusive sets were released in Australia and in the UK :) so not technically a US exclusive. With EU shipping, costs from the UK to Netherlands should not be too bad hopefully if you do decide to pick her up.

I'm glad she doesn't come with a doll but... I've kept all the ponies that come in that style box MIB so far and you can't see her cutie mark because of the dress! Maybe I'll have to get 2 to avoid having a dilemma over whether to open her or not. :P

Not at TRU itself; they are carried by other retailers. A1Comics and Forbidden Planet. Both of my local A1Comics are packed floor to ceiling with MLP at the moment with 2 whole sections dedicated to what have previously been US exclusive items - from ShadowDash & the Collectors Sets down to the Enterplay Collectors Tins.

OH that's great! Makes sense that she is going to be released that way- otherwise I think the doll/pony set might have been pretty expensive.

Oh okay, I have neither of those near me :lol: Don't those places simply import them in bulk from US TRU, though? I'm not sure I'd class it as a "release" if that is the case, though it's good someone is carrying them over here, if a shame UK TRU can't seem to get their act together and carry their own exclusives....

Forbidden Planet, yes: they buy straight from retailer so they probably bought bulk from TRU wholesale and their stock was pretty poor. A1, no; they buy direct from Hasbro UK therefore they will have been stocked by Hasbro UK as a supplier :)

....Interesting. I wonder why TRU won't pick the lines up. Though, considering they hiked the price of the PPB line...yeah, I can do without them having it :lol: Sucks to have to order ponies online, though. With all the factory flaws G4s have, buying them "blind" is such a gamble :(

Its wild speculation but I cant help but wonder if the line just is not a fantastic seller in the UK. We dont have the cartoon push they have in the US, advertising for the line on childrens channels is pretty woeful and other than the lines main annual drivers [this year the jumping RD and the Castle] they seem to never get any marketing support in comparison to other Hasbro lines. The main toy retailers in this country - from the supermarkets to the likes of Argos and Smyths - do not actually any where close to the whole line [online or in store] and even The Entertainer, which was the best store for them for a while, has downed the number of products it carries. For that reason I wonder if TRU simply dont see the value of an exclusive line - which is as special as these [as opposed to pink ponies with pink accessories] would be a worthwhile stock?

My guess she will still cost at least $10 to $12, which is more than a normal pony but less than SOME EQG Dolls if you got it in store.. otherwise she will cost closer to a Fashion Styling pony ._.

I'm kind of basing this off of Shadow Dash's pricing XD For me that pony from TRU's online store cost $10.99.. plus the estimated shipping of $7.99, which makes the sum up to about $18.98--- so needless to say I won't get her, mostly because I'm not taking a 2hr+ drive one way to get a pony :(

I dunno, I can't help but feel that if our toy stores had even half the space the US ones do, then maybe MLP might do better. My sister is really into those Moshi Monsters things and it seems to be the sheer variety of characters and toys that keeps her interested, whereas considering we get such slim pickings on pony characters and all, I could see kids easily becoming bored with the selection and moving onto something else.

Considering how poorly TRU's other exclusives have sold (entirely their own fault for overpricing them) it doesn't surprise me they're not carrying them, but it's a shame that the Entertainer or another chain won't pick them up.

In the mean time...gonna pray TRU Canada pick her up before the end of June so I can grab her before I go home (not likely but, I can hope!)

Oh awesome!! She's the "Favorites Collection" Window box pony!!!! I was wondering who it would be, since we'd seen no hint of a Glow in the Dark pony this year!! And YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!! I don't have to get a doll!! It means she'll be reasonably priced and I don't need to buy a bunch of expensive dolls!! Now, we just need to see this happen with Octavia!!

Saw her at TRU earlier today, from what I could tell through the box she looked to have no eye indents. It looked like there might be a light guideline along the bottom of her glasses, but no typical deep/round earthie indent.

I am so excited to pick up a few of her.  I could possibly pick up extras if some of our foreign pony friends want to work out arrangements later.  Being that there are exclusives you get that we don't it would be a nice swap.

Well I'm pretty disappointed, absolutely none of these at TRU Garden City. I was going to buy her but I can't be bothered, I've never been impressed with TRU and would rather buy my ponies at any other store.

They had the new Equestria Girls Zecora and Talking Queen Chrysalis though... and the large Styling ponies, but they only had one Pinkie and one Fluttershy so high up on the shelves I would have needed a ladder (not very kid friendly).  :huh:

By the way, those of you who've been lucky to find her in your local TRU, what's her price? The website and catalogues don't list her yet as far as I can see.
I've never seen the exclusives down here and was wondering how much she is in case I cave and try to find her after all. :P

Cheers
Title: Re: Ponymania Photo Finish found in packaging!
Post by: sd_dreamcrystal on June 18, 2014, 05:25:20 AM
Well I'll wait to hear from a few people on what the price is at their local TRU (mostly I need the price for USA but if Australia has close prices they I could use that to see if my cost for her was pretty much dead on.. for someone who has to order online and doesn't have a local TRU...)

I wish someone would make a custom of her for me- with a perfectly sewn little dress.... I will probably get this one, but it is soooooo...  well, lets just say it could have been a lot better (realizing they probably cheaped out to keep the cost minimal)

If I can get there this weekend I'm going to see if she's at TRU Aspley, surely ONE of the Brisbane stores will get her, although we never got zecora or shadowdash up in Brissie. Melbourne seem to have them though, so at least I can get domestic shipping if it comes to that!

She was $9.99!

She's cute!  9.99 is not so bad for her considering she has a dress.

Went to my TRU today and surprise, surprise nothing new  -_- just the same old crap... I really want Photo Finish, but I'm not sure my TRU's gonna get em :/

She looks cute! She's supposed to be like Anna Wintor right? At least that's what I thought when watching her on the show.

Looks awesome!  I like her best without the dress.

Unfortunately my nearest Toys R Us is thirty miles away (I have four different TRUs within an hour's drive of my house, all in different directions...).  Debating if I want to go hunting tomorrow or wait a week or two to give them time to stock.

Odds are I will hit all four of them in a loop and find absolutely nothing.  But must have new pony!

I was just about to run down to my TRU tomorrow to look for her too! I kinda wish I knew someone who was doing a big order though who could pick me up one, lol. The shipping seems kinda nuts considering she's all I want from the new exclusives and they won't ship it to my store.

Post by: Galactica on July 21, 2014, 06:32:44 PM
Cool-  tempting but the cost of shipping is a little high.  I'm sure she will be more widely available at some point- since it's not like she's a limited edition.

If you buy $50 of stuff from the TRU site you get free shipping. That includes up to 3 of Photo Finish too. So if there are other ponies you want you can order them AND her and get free shipping.

Post by: BigBrotherPony on July 22, 2014, 04:35:09 PM
I bought her yesterday !

She is pretty nice although I'm a little disappointed with her dress, the sewing is kind basic, and rather than the collar of her dress being seen on seperately it's just printed on!

But at least we got a new brushie!!!

I just ordered mine :) If you are having issues with free store pick up, and the site says its available,  but when you order it is not available for pick up, just shipping, get in touch with the live chat people. They'll help you out :) That's what I had to do.

I'm dying to have her.... Saving up my cash to buy her myself!! I might make her a new dress myself... I've gotten half decent at making pony clothes. And she's so cute without the dress, her little shutter cutie mark!! Love it!

I want to get her.  I am off from work on Tuesday and was going to wait around near the entrance until they open.  They don't open until 10am and to get there before they open I have to take a bus that gets me there around 8:50am (well to the nearby dead mall) then I walk there.  I am bringing my kindle paperwhite to have something to read but I feel like I'm loitering.  I did this one other time and nobody said anything.  Plus, I want to see if they have any Elsa dolls before anyone else has a chance to grab any.  I think their new shipments come in on Friday so they may already be gone.

Long story short I am hoping to find Photo Finish on Tuesday.  ;)

When I went to pick up the one I ordered online from the store, they gave me the Rainbow Dash  :yikes: The numbers didn't even match.... Ugh, so I received a refund and have been calling or checking back in to see if she's arrived yet. They have all the other dolls and ponies for the line, just not her :0

Yeah, That's what really annoys me about TRU's exclusive offerings this year. I don't really care too much for the Ponymania concept they went for this year, but at least it saves me money as I don't have any interest in the big Collector's set this year with there being no new characters in it, but I don't like that they Ponymania'd out the other 2 toys which have never been released in a normal form before.

Also, I don't mind much for non-show accurateness, I would actually prefer one of the uncuts from Hong Kong. I was hoping that with this release they'd come down in price, but so far they're still just shy of $20... way to much for a G4 pony...
