35-40th Anniversary ponies - Mark IV

[DreamvalleyMLP]

I didn't think of the Secret Surprise ponies! Now I want one...

But I was thinking more along the lines of G3 Rarity. If we scale up might as well go all out

not sure if this is a good place to post it but i don't want to make a new thread and i'm having some trouble - can anyone help me find a retro Fizzy that ships to the US? i know some UK places but the only US shipper i saw was on ebay for $40 i need her to be shipped straight to my boyfriend for storage haha
or if anyone is in Arizona (phoenix) have they seen her in any shops? in that case i can give him the money and he can look lol

@Bladed - it's not an ideal solution, but amazon.co.uk might ship to the US. I don't know what their shipping is like, though. :/

I am really surprised Amazon.com no longer has those in stock :/ We still have quite a few BF ponies lurking around amazon over here, and the TEs are still in some stores (sadly not around my area, but I saw them in London and my sister found them where she lives).

Tahoe Treasures has her in stock

Edit: Oops, my bad, they have some of the others but they're out of Fizzy.

At one point I made a list of a bunch of small toy stores that stock the TEs and ship them, hopefully one of them still has them.

Here's the list

A Cracker Barrel here in Georgia still had a Fizzy.  Do you live near any Cracker Barrels?

I saw pics of the 40th anniversary versions of Cotton Candy and her set and they have a 40 incorporated in to the symbol.  I guess our wishes for them to be slightly different came true.  I'm not sure how I feel about them having a large 40 on them like that, but at least it's different.

I like the 40 in the symbols. If I can find one I'd like to get Cotton Candy.

Where can I see these pics? I had a quick search but couldn't find anything.

I'm glad they're noticeably different from the previous release, I was hoping there'd be something to set them aside from the previous BF release... now I definitely need CC to join the army I've somehow managed to acquire of her

It's posted on the TP and Facebook. I snagged it.

Thanks for adding the pic BC.   I like the way CC and Snuzzle use the 40 the best.  I've been trying to figure out why Blossom has stars instead of flowers?

CC is sneaky.  She multiplies when you're not looking.

I already said this on the trading post, but I think these are tacky. How many repro collector sets do we need? We've got 3 anniversary sets,  plus the darn funko pops and world's smallest.  Trust Hasbro to take the laziest routes. Butterscotch' hair is still the wrong color.

[Carrehz]

These are Basic Fun, not Hasbro. Unless Hasbro is re-releasing them too?

Thanks for the pic! Hmm, not sure how I feel about the numbers... I like that they're obviously different to the previous releases, but I was hoping the number would be a bit less.... ostentatious? x) When I read the posts about them earlier I was picturing, like, a little 40 snuck into the corner of the symbols or something, not... this. I think if it was me, I'd just have put the number onto one of their symbols... so like Minty would have it written on one shamrock, Butterscotch would have it on one butterfly, etc. (although idk what they'd do for CC)

Hmm. I wonder if their symbols are the same on both sides, or if the other side has the regular symbols? Sorta hoping it'll be the latter, I think that'd be nice. The ones they showed at Toy Fair had the regular symbols, but they could've just been earlier protos :/ hell, it wouldn't surprise me if the ones at Toy Fair were literally just old 25th ann. ones standing in for the 40th ann set.

I think Blossom's symbol is still flowers, but they're definitely very different to her usual symbol. Although, looking through pics of various Blossoms on the wiki, BF's previous release of her had a pretty different flower design to the original, too, but this is more obviously "off". Her hair colour's too dark too... they seem to have a hard time getting her design right. Weird.

I agree that CC and Snuzzle have the 40 incorporated into their symbol the best. Butterscotch is the worst IMO; too much 40, not enough butterflies. Still, if they *are* protos, maybe they're still working out the kinks and the final designs will look a bit better.

First it was just one, then "Oh I should get one of the Hasbro repros, that'd be fun", then next thing you know I'm picking up a flatfoot ver and looking forward to another re-release x)
