[shabbychicdee]

haha, yes now that you have mentioned it it does

[missbonbon]

Does anyone know if we are going to get any more retro releases?

[Snapdragon]

Well, just ordered a Nova from Amazon, hoping for pink stripe... got white stripe! So I guess I'll have some trade fodder in case I ever find someone with a pink looking for a white!

I came across something on facebook today. Something about more rainbow ponies. Not much said other than that.

Does anyone know when the AJ and Medley plushies are releasing?

Amazon seems to be out of Polaris!  Or at least she wasn't showing up when I checked early this morning.

[Ponyfan]

I just checked and Polaris is showing up as in stock on Amazon again.

Great news! Maybe it's something other than the standard early years rainbow ponies. Weren't the twinkle eyes labeled as rainbow as well in the early stages? I'm hoping for the rainbow curls!!

Yes I also read that they called the twinkle eyes ponies are rainbow also. And there is a new mold coming out also! Wonder when we will see them?

*waits for all the Mimic conspiracies to begin xD*

I would actually rather have Masquerade. *Waits to be pelted with fakies!*

Iirc I think they sold the TEs and sometimes the Gusty/Heart Throb set under the rainbow tag for some reason, even though the boxes said different. I think it was to do with pricing scale, here at least...since rainbow ponies retailed here a bit higher.

...Although more than anything I want Powder. She's the one left from the ponies I desperately wanted as a kid, but which Hasbro failed to sell here. I would be absolutely made up if Powder happened).

(Watches Basic Fun successfully rerelease the whole G1 line while Hasbro flounders with fifteen versions of Sunny).

On the Rainbow Curls - a small problem is that BF haven't mastered curly hair for any set yet.

And while Rainbow Magic has a deep emotional family significance for me, the fact she'd have that stupid name on the box would completely ruin the impact.

I feel the same about the Princesses, too. I adore Princess Pearl, but the idea of a box with Tiffany and Primrose on it makes me cringe.

Sweet Stuff was bad enough.

I love Masquerade and Sweet Pop too.

Wonder what happened to the flutters and babies from years ago at toyfair.

[Taffeta]

Oh, Sweet Pop would be amazing! She was also never sold here, and though I have no childhood nostalgia attachment to her, I've always thought her colours were beautiful.

The flutter set was canceled due to retailers not wanting to stock them for whatever reason. I have no idea what happened to the baby set.

Her colors are so pretty, she really is popsicle blue.

[Carrehz]

Yeah, a few sets have been proposed and never materialized... Flutters, babies (where did they show the babies? I don't remember those :O), Flower Fantasy (although I think there was a theory going that these became the Celestials?), and the playset with Lemon Drop (and Brandy!!! tbh I'm most upset about Brandy being cancelled - he was in the Strawberry Shortcake's Pupcake mould and was SO cute!!!).

I understand why the playset didn't make it (I'm under the impression Peachy's set didn't sell too well? Maybe I'm wrong) and I'm not too surprised the Flutters got canned (disappointed though), but I'm still shocked Basic Fun haven't released any baby ponies yet. I'd definitely have expected those over the Twinkle Eyes. (not that I don't love the TEs!)

yeah I've seen this happen with other toys, it's confusing/weird but I think it means that the later set (in this case, TEs) has replaced the earlier one (Rainbows)? like, they're the same "assortment" being offered to retailers, even though they're different characters and/or a whole different series. I think.

Mimic would be cool and all, but I'd rather have Galaxy, Locket or Sweet Pop <3
