Nightshade didn't get a toy because the G1 cartoons didn't influence the G1 toyline at all.  It would have been impractical for Hasbro and Sunbow to coordinate in-depth. 

Remember that at the time the only ways to communicate were:

- physical letters
- the phone (and long-distance phone calls were expensive)
- meeting face-to-face (Sunbow was in NY, Hasbro was in Rhode Island, and the writers were scattered all over, they just mailed in their scripts.)

I really don't like Starlight Glimmer. I could say I hate her, in fact. No part of me believes she could ever be fully reformed. I still believe she's just secretly masquerading under the guise of being a good guy just to learn all the ins and outs of the Mane 6 and eventually exploit their weaknesses so she may take over the world.

Oh, a Knight Shade toy would be awesome. (I wish they'd been consistent with how they spelt his name! >_< The episode spells it "Night Shade" and "Knight Shade".. I hate it when there's multiple official ways of spelling something. /ramble) I've seen some lovely customs of him, it would've been great if they had made an official one for him..

I used to not like them. But now I think they're so adorable. Especially Baby Pearly. :lovey:

Plus the details on their scales are great! I want one now.

End of Flutter Valley is upopular? whaaaa

That was actually the G1 movie I grew up on. G3 were my childhood ponies, but I bought 3 G2 myself and my aunt gave me all her childhood G1 ponies. When I was really young, like 6 or 7, we were at Toys R Us and she saw a G1 DVD and bought it for me, it was that movie. It was the first G1 movie I'd ever seen and I really loved it at the time.

I watched a few years later and realized it was pretty terribly done. Lmao. That bee dude and Morning Glory would switch voices constantly! It was cringy yet hilarious to hear some gruff scratchy bee dude voice coming out of a dainty little flutter pony.

I wonder if anyone has ever made a Nightshade custom. Personally, I never cared for a Michael Jackson inspired pony, but I'm sure there are quite a few people who liked the idea.

Morning Glory and Sting never switch voices, at least not to my knowledge. (They did swap Rosedust and Honeysuckle's voices at one point, though - or more accurately they swapped their colours by mistake)

I wonder if anyone has ever made a Nightshade custom.

Here's a couple I foundj :)

There was a Music Custom Swap once and someone made Knightshade out of either an SHS or a G2. Don't remember who it was though.

Ssssssh! You're giving away the Season 7 finale.
This has spawned an unpopular opinion from me, who doesn't even watch FIM and who has seen maybe one season total.

The idea of someone playing the mane 6 back on their friendship is magic game by pretending to be friends with them in order to do something horrible is a depth of storyline continuity and planning that would probably make me more interested in the show.

So I would actually like it if that were the case with a character, instead of them all buckling to the brainwashing sooner or later.

I will also add that one reason I like EQG animation better is that even after she has been 'saved', Sunset Shimmer remains somewhat conflicted and mistrusted by others - a character development continuity that I love. I've not seen seven, eight seasons of FIM but from what people have said here continuity doesn't really happen...

So I would absolutely start watching FIM if there was a continuous psychological game going on behind the scenes with someone playing the Mane 6 at their own game.

Feel free to throw the tomatoes, but though I have only ever seen the toy, that image of Starlight Glimmer now makes me like her a whole lot more.

Me either, I like Megan, Molly and Danny. I used to take my ponies and pretend to be Megan all the time.
