Yea that Pen, and the board :) but the thing I wanted more than anything was that Rarity Pen Lol :D so cute.

and these were in like a $1 bin in the front of the walmart store I went too, My walmart in my town doesn't have them.. *rolls eyes* they don't have anything lol..

I wonder if that's any indication that she'll be showing up in stores soon? Congrats! We all will be anxiously awaiting pics. ;D

I just went to ToyWiz's site and they have a pic of Sunset Shimmer unmasked! Wow, she has beautiful eyes! They look Cadance-esque (rounder than the normal uni eyes)... Could that actually be true? The shade of blue also looks great in contrast to her yellow body.

Post by: scarletjul on March 14, 2013, 05:55:55 PM
Oh, how awesome!  :frolic:  I hope that means she'll be showing up in stores soon.  :)

Those $1 bin FIM items kinda make me want to brave Wal-Mart. . .

Is it a pre-order? My screen says "IN STOCK"
Title: Re: Oh my, Sunset Shimmer early?
Post by: disturbed-rainbow on March 15, 2013, 12:02:36 AM
It's no longer a pre-order, I was stating that when I had put my order in it was.. but I guess getting them in stock they upped the price... =/ but they should have them in stores soon for 4$$$ :D

I can't wait to see the pamphlet! I hope the new Motion Ponies will be in there and hopefully some surprises cause after Toy Fair we sure need some.
Title: Re: Oh my, Sunset Shimmer early?
Post by: Galactica on March 15, 2013, 09:31:52 AM
$11.99!!!!!!

Well BigBadToyStore still has them on preorder- the 4 pack for $19.99.   I took a risk and ordered them, thinking they will probably be somewhat hard to find around here for a while (the ponies go super fast at our Target)

I've never seen them for $9, but usually Target lists them for $4.99 or $5.99 I think-   I know they are significantly more expensive outside the U.S. though...

I am torn, I have ordered through toywiz before and it was quite expensive to ship to UK, but, I did order a large order and since this would only be one pony, would it make a difference???

They give you a chance to see what shipping will be before you finalize the order- you could always check?

I tried, it started getting dangerously close to actually paying for her before I chickened out  :yikes:

Wow $12? Although to be fair as she is the first new character for a long time and possibly likely to be she probably is going to be sought after but I think at that price I ll wait for her to turn up in stores. Although with only one per assortment I can understand people wanting to ensure they would get her.

Nice!

Finally we can have this question answered: Is the mask make of paper or of something a bit sturdier? Also, is there elastic holding it closed?
Title: Re: Oh my, Sunset Shimmer early?
Post by: Flitter on March 18, 2013, 12:02:52 PM
disturbed-rainbow, she's lovely! Thanks for sharing some pics!
I can't wait until I can find her. What pretty eyes.
She looks a little lighter color than Applejack or Honeybuzz even, yes?
Her back card story makes it sound like she will be in the show.
Title: Re: Oh my, Sunset Shimmer early?

Title: Re: Oh my, Sunset Shimmer early?
Post by: disturbed-rainbow on March 18, 2013, 12:16:47 PM
Yes, I'd say she's more of a yellow'er color than the 2,
and her mask is paper with an elastic band.
:D
I'm pretty sure she's become my new favorite of my g4 collection!

I wish her accessory was a bit more than paper, though.

Her bio is interesting , so she was a student of Celestia  :shocked:... hmmm this means that she must have failed and then Celestia looked for another pony that is Twilight  :whoa:

Not really... it just means that studenthood doesn't last forever, which is perfectly reasonable; would you really want to be still counted as a student by the time you're 90 and in a retirement home or whatever?

The FIM fandom is having a huge meltdown over this character because she happened to be a student of Celestia... I think they are all jumping to conclusions and assuming the worst, as usual when there is a meltdown. Ugh, this is why fandoms make me want to ram my head against a desk.

I think she is a cute character and am curious to what, if any, kind of appearance she's going to make in the show.
Title: Re: Oh my, Sunset Shimmer early?
Post by: ShortyBoo on March 19, 2013, 11:45:31 AM
She's so pretty and I adore her eyes! I've been wanting unicorns with different eyes for a long time now. I hope we'll see more unicorns in the future with those eyes.
Title: Re: Oh my, Sunset Shimmer early?
Post by: MilkyTaroMochi on March 19, 2013, 12:44:57 PM
I think she's very cute! I really like her colors, and so happy that we have a new brushable that isn't a main 6 or an Alicorn. :heart: Also a fan of the eyes she has. I hope future unicorns get these types of eyes.

I will admit that if she does appear in the show, I wouldn't mind if she was a student that "went wrong" and is a "villain" (be it "Nightmare Moon" bad, or "Trixie/Gilda" bad). Just as long as she ends up good in the end. :)

Oh my goodness! She's gorgeous!! And those eyes! They are so much better than the regular unicorn eyes. I can't wait to get my paws on her. :D

I do have to agree with those above me, she would have been even better if her orange details had been red instead. That would have been really striking. :(

https://twitter.com/MMeghanMcCarthy/status/314096918055763968

It's possible that she is under a confidentially clause(? - or what it's called that people that are working on a secret project can't confirm and/or deny something is happening in a show due to legal reasons/contract). So she may not be able to "tell us" if Sunset will be in the show and is saying otherwise. 
I remember a while ago during Season 3 when Tara Strong (Twilight Sparkle's voice actress) said that she [Twilight] wasn't going to be an alicorn when fans asked her. And look what happened. xD

I do hope she appears in the show! Being a former student of Celestia is something that should be at least mentioned in the show and not just mentioned in a toy description.

Well the thing is that we don't know what being a student of Celestia really means, as for now in the show the only ones named is Twilight and Starswirl the bearded, and Celestia mentioned that Starswirl failed his trial by not making friends.

At this point of the series it does appears that only a few powerfull chosen get to be Celestia student (even the 5 of the main 6 aren't) and even fewer of them ones approve the test, and if they do they get a noble title it appears.  :nerdy:

Hence that's why I was wondering if Sunset Shimmer failed.  ;)

Oh, it's a perfectly valid possibility; I only took issue with your saying that she must have failed, which is different from wondering. Personally she doesn't come across as at all villainous to me, so I prefer to think she graduated or whatever the equivalent would be.

I don't recall any reference to Star Swirl being Celestia's student. It's again possible, but it's just as possible that Clover the Clever or Thornhoof were her students; we just don't know. (And presumably only Rarity of the mane six would even potentially qualify, since the other four aren't unicorns, and I can't see Rarity wanting to be Celestia's student, soooo.)

...anyway, she's really pretty and I want her a lot. <3

I just looked her up on ebay and the ones coming out of china appear to have red hair. I bought one so we'll see when she shows up but hopefully its not just bad photo editing!  I really like her either way:)

So this is floating around... YMMV: http://s19.photobucket.com/user/Starmenclock/media/sunsetshimmerequestriag_zps211637f1.png.html

While I am probably going to go with "fan made" - at the moment as there seems to be quite a few of these popping up.

Do you know what this would maybe kinda make sense?
It has been "semi unofficially" confirmed this PONY won't be on the show.
When the Toy Fair was on licensees "supposedly" confirmed they were perplexed why Hasbro had decided to release this pony in particular. Maybe the surprise was because she is an EG character?

Although I cant be the only one who thinks she looks a little like Toralei!

I saw a few on ebay yesterday and some seemed more red than others. I am also wondering if it's just the quality of the picture or not. Let us know when you get yours, but fingers crossed she is, indeed red!

This picture made me fall in love with her eyes.

I wonder if the ones on ebay really have red hair. It makes me want to get one if she does. But I really like the orange and yellow combo too.

A part of me think at least some of the ones on eBay are orange-haired instead of red (and how the pictures are making it appear red, if unintentionally). I did buy one from one of the sellers yesterday, and I am expecting it to be orange. xD

This comment/theory got batted around so many forums and became a little "chinese whispers" in its context...hence why I am using "supposedly". I dont even think we have proof that it was certainly said as its not any kind off official release just general gossip.

The original poster who claimed to know of Sunset Shimmer posted on the merch board of some other pony site.

I don't have the original comment, but it read something like "I am surprised they made her into a brushable". Then everyone started asking a bombardment of questions that they couldn't answer. It was a poster on the merch board of some other pony site. This post was in reaction to seeing Sunset Shimmer at the toy fair.

Here was my post from an early thread about her on Feb 10:
"Well here are things I have heard on a certain other website from a person who knows who she is:
1. She is a girl
2. She is from something secret that they can't talk about (Equestria Girls?)
3. They were surprised she got made into a brushable (implies she is related to the show, and not meant to be toy only)."

I really would not be surprised at all if she is in Equestria Girls, since Meghan McCarthy said she would not be in Season 4.

So cute! I can't wait until Toywiz restocks, I must have her! I don't mean to nitpick further, but is she Sunny Rays yellow?

But also, a lot of the cast were denying and being a bit side-eyed about Alicorn Twilight rumors too, and then they did come true. So, who knows? Sunset could pop up in the show and maybe staff is trying to quell rumors for now.

I personally hope she does show up! But if she doesn't, this is a sign we're getting more of those 'random' characters like Diamond Rose and Lily Blossom, and I LOVE that!

Hmmm I like the new eyes, but I was expecting Sunset Shimmer to to have more.... sultry looking eyes like Rarity's to match a slightly glossy yet kickarse personality. She looks too benign like this given her strong colour. I was very tempted to buy her off ebay, but I've decided to ait for her to arrive in stores. I just blew my money on Zecora today.

But that aside, Sunset is beautiful! I'm really not TOO into yellow/orange ponies, but hey, she's a unicorn, she's new and she's got the cutest eyes ever! <3 Very much looking forward to seeing her pop up in stores!

Question for anyone who purchased an official release of Sunset Shimmer--if you separate out the orange stripe and line it up next to Rainbow Dash's red stripe can you tell them apart or do they match? The one I got from China appeared to have an orange stripe, but when I compared it to RD's red (without being able to see any bodies or other hair colors) I couldn't tell them apart. So now I am wondering if there is really a difference at all. I'll be buying the official release once I find it, but I want to know NOW! Heh heh.

Mine is from ToyWiz.  The mane is the exact same color as Dash's.  The tail is a different texture: its drier and slightly more neon.

Perhaps its just the promo picture and the body colour as well as other hair colour which gives the red the perception of being orangey?

I believe it is red...but lighting, camera and the very orange surrounding hair colours as well as her body colour perhaps give it an orange hue in certain pictures.

Sure-  the ones coming in from ebay/Taobao are definitely red (by red I mean matching rainbow dash red)-  and now that people are getting the ones from Hasbrotoyshop and Toywiz-  as far as I've heard anyway, they are all orange

My guess is that they switched colors at some point-  the prototype PHOTOS on toywiz and BBTS and hasbrotoyshop show red-  but the packaged ponies that we have seen so far have orange.  In contrast- the loose ponies from Taobao and ebay have had red hair (red hair like rainbow dash red).

Always a possibility they will release the ponies with both colors- but that seems unlikely...
