I wonder how big she is..They are 3" figures in a 2-pack
:) I like her. And I like that she's not an old mold... She's really like old + new.

The head is so strange and off.
I don't appreciate that Hasbro made a new mold for Twilight and made her special and pearly and yet Sparkle is just a regular shmegular mold they sold before. They could have pearlized her as well. But at least it shows off who the target audience for this is:
the people who buy the retros :devious:
Unless this is a possibility for G5 and they are throwing it out there to see the reaction.

But the Twilight Sparkle has bangs. That is probably the “extra” on her.
I’m confused as to why they didn’t have Basic Fun help them out on this.

If the new line was like that, it would be good news. But considering they sell it as a G1 vs G4 comparison.. well. I think they should have used a G1 mold. Maybe not the actual Twilight mold, just any other G1 unicorn mold. Or a mix of G1. But something more G1. I wrote G1 six times... sorry.
G1. Please.
I like how she looks from far away, but up close I'm not a fan. I think the problem comes when I see her head. As others have stated before I think it's the eyes and how flat the sides of her head are. That and the fact that the head mold looks like Shining Armor's...
I feel as though it's weird that they crossed g1 with g3 for some reason? It's like they were trying to incorporate something from each generation, but they totally skipped out on anything g2-wise. I get that there wasn't really a "twilight" inspiration from g2, but it's just kind of odd...I do like her size though and I think she is very beautiful from afar, I just wish they would've maybe used a g3 unicorn head mold or something for her head...
As for the Twilight Sparkle, I'm pretty disappointed. She's just a regular TS but, WITH BANGS! *Jazzhands* Yeah...no. I'm not buying it. They could've at least used a new unique mold or pearlized her or something to make her really different.
Overall I'm not super impressed. The Twilight is cute but I wouldn't buy both of these for her...I also wish they came out with more of the mane 6, or at least 3 like they did last year...Maybe they could've just released the mane 6 in this style and not the g4.5 counterpart? Idk. I guess I shouldn't complain but...I just have a lot of opinions on this.
Every time I look at the face....DINOSAUR....just pops right in there. Not really sure why... G1+G4=G5 :lol:
It doesn't look like a G1 which is my problem. I don't like a company advertising something that isn't even right. I mean we are talking hasbro here, the people that made MLP and they can't even bother to actually make it a g1?I agree with you very much so. There's a ton of truth in that statement. :iconclap:
It really looks more like a G3 just looking at this image. So for me, how can we show newer fans and collectors the difference if Hasbro can't even get it right?
I don't have an issue with other gen of MLP, I like all MLP but I don't like something being sold that doesn't qualify as what it's supposed to be...maybe it'll look different in person...but I don't think many of us who can recognize G1's or know the difference are ever gonna say that's a G1 style MLP.
It looks like they took G1 eyes and plastered them on a G3 body style. :(
O_o I don't see G3 in her-- she looks like a modern G1. Like the retro artwork..
On the other hand, this is a Twilight being on a G3ish, but still unique mould as its not completely G3.
And let's be honest, if Hasbro had simply done nothing more then grab Basic Fun Twilight and put it in there with Reboot Twilight Sparkle, people would whine about Hasbro being twice as lazy. So at least there's something kinda new and unusual.
I would have loved a smaller Twilight in the rearing pose. Pearlized and with the correct stars color. That would have been so amazing!

I agree with this. If they want to go down that line, make it a set of 3, include Twilight Twinkle and use the tiny moulds they used for Glory with the book for Twilight as, you know, that is her mould. And the right size. And stuff. :P Even if that was licenced out, they have the rights because, well, Hasbro, so...yeah.
The whole pearly G3-1 Twi is interesting but NOT the 1980s. Unless this is what they mean by time changing and somehow Twilight got lost in her mist, fell into a magic mirror, and mutated into a G3ish pony while walking through the weird wood towards a place called Ponyquestria Gardens...
If we retro buyers are the target audience, then Hasbro need to realise that we're probably going to notice that they can't get their gen moulds straight :P. In that sense, it's a bit disrespectful to those of us who grew up with G1. I don't dislike the whole thing overall, just, as Uni says, HOW it is being presented as something it is not.
There's a new hqg1c rearing unicorn? :frolic:

I'm also not sure if not seeing the G3 influence is wishful thinking or pose blindness. Either or. Because if you look at Twilight Twinkle and then at this, it's very. clearly. influenced from that.

The new retro artwork is also kind of G3-ish to me. Is as if they got a G3 pony, changed the line art a wee bit and then put the G1 ponies in there... Some have G3 poses. The problem that I see is that hasbro seems to have a problem with really going back to the 80's and does this kind of stuff to try and keep collectors buying.

My opinion. Your opinion. Let's just agree to disagree and move on :)
I wonder why they decided to make her pearly.
Also, the way the chest flows up into the neck looks a little strange, but I can't quite put my finger on why? Hmm. Could be the angle maybe?
Also, the way the chest flows up into the neck looks a little strange, but I can't quite put my finger on why? Hmm. Could be the angle maybe?
It reminds me a little bit of the awkwardness on whichever Hallmark ornament - was it Moondancer? I don't remember, but it just didn't quite look right, in proportion. But while I'll probably be castigated for saying it, going back to the Twilight Twinkle pose and then this, the body is very similar in the leg style but the head is at a different angle. IF that is the inspiration/basis for this mould, then the head and body don't match/the head was constructed separately because she's a unicorn? And that might explain it.
In that sense, it's a bit disrespectful to those of us who grew up with G1.
Kinda reminds me of a dolly mix pony.
I see what else is wrong with her head other than the eye. The jaw line isn’t right. At least that’s what it looks like from this angle. It’s also disconcerting that her neck seam is so far up the neck. I know that’s how they do G4 but that’s one of the reasons it looks off as a “G1”.
I’m not really complaining, just trying to figure out what it is that looks a little off. Whether I get her or not really depends on how cheap she is.
I do really wish they had wrapped her mane around her neck. I don’t understand why they can’t do that for a special item that is never going to be sold in stores. I always assumed they did they hair like that to make it harder for people to steal the pony out of the package. But if the pony is never going to be in an open display....?

I fixed her "bobblehead" head/neck, placed her eye up higher, and made her head smaller.
On the bottom row I traced the Twilight in case it's easier that way to compare it to the Retro/"Modern G1" art (which I'm convinced is the intention and not a G3).
I like her a lot! I think it’s so cool and unique. I’m glad hasbro did this and created a new toy for the exclusive rather than just re-releasing a basic fun twilight repro, which I’m sure everyone here would have rolled their eyes at and the “why can’t we get something different?! Hasbroken is so lazy!” Remarks would be flying. It just proves that no matter what, people will be unhappy, and that’s fine! For every one unhappy person there’s another person who will gladly purchase this.

You should show this to Hasbro. It looks SO much better with the modifications you made!
I’m excited for this! I think it’s very nice. I hope this is G5! they gotta reuse that mold!
I know they usually sell exclusives online - but where will they sell it? Hasbro Pulse doesn’t have MLP! at all.

Hmmm, not sure how I feel about this. (Well, about Twilight.. not a fan of Twilight Sparkle in general, so obviously this one's not doing much for it ;)) My immediate thought was "that's not G1, that's G3?" but yeah, looking at the packaging, it does look like they based her more off the 2010s retro art than anything. Which like y'all have said, isn't necessarily bad, but it's also not what they're advertising her as, either...
(also the vague implication that Twilight + Twilight Sparkle = the exact same character! sorta bothers me - sure TS is based on Twilight, that doesn't make them the same - but I've been irritated by that notion for years, so it's nothing new I guess, haha)
Not a fan of pearly ponies personally, and WHY did they make her stars so dang light?! o.O They just get lost since her body's so light (and pearly), plus Twilight's stars are dark purple to begin with? Weird.
But.. she is a weird novelty, and y'all know how much I love weird things like this.. so idk how to feel. I guess I want to see owner photos of her?
It's a nice idea, anyway, if nothing else. Although I wish they'd shown G2 some love, too. (well, and G3, but that Twilight is so G3-esque it's hard to feel short-changed there, y'know? :P) Poor ol' G2, always getting the short end of the stick.
Figures they give you something new and something we've seen a billion times. I suppose you could sell the figure but who'd want another Twilight figurine when you can probably get an identical version for much less? At least the the other figurine isn't bad.

I was just going to ask about Hasbro Pulse.
Last year the SDCC exclusive went for sale shortly after SDCC on their site and now it's still only like $25-30 on ebay. Hopefully they made enough and this one has the same availability. :D

IMO the stars arepinklight purple because they are that way in RAMC.
Edit for star color . . . They are light, but I don't think they're pink. Anyway, my main point is . . . she looks inspired by RaMC, where she also had a very pale body compared to "real" toy Twilight.

Yeah. I was a little confused when I got Twilight in a trade a couple years back. I was expecting her to be standard pale pink. She almost seems coral colored.
There's not the remotest connection between Twilight Sparkle's personality, character and Twilight's - though I have no idea if Twilight Twinkle even has a personality, so I'm not trying to force that link in that sense. Just that the connection is entirely on the name and nothing else at all.

There is one thing: magic. In RaMC, Twilight is shown teleporting, and is the most prominent magic-user (as far as ponies go). Teleporting is one of Twilight Sparkle’s earliest, most frequent spells in FiM. Twilight Sparkle’s mother (Twilight Velvet) in FiM is also aesthetically based on G1 Twilight. Personality-wise, I agree that they don’t have much in common, but G1 Twilight did provide some lasting inspiration for Twilight Sparkle. :)
G1 Twilight the unicorn is one of my favorite ponies. :lovey: I really like this set because it features a G1 inspired Twilight along with the modern Twilight Sparkle but I also agree with Taffeta that I think it's more of the "these ponies share the same name" than Twilight Sparkle being inspired by G1 Twilight.
I've seen some Hasbro art with Twilight shown with stars that were more redish pink than purple so that might be what Hasbro is basing the stars on. I just looked at my G1 Twilight charms and they have redish pink stars instead of purple also.

Ah, you see, I grew up in a place where other ponies did teleporting things (ie Lightning). And Twilight basically lived shrouded in mist in the mountains and was very skilled and clever but quite shy and didn't come out much...
Winking in and out was a thing all the unicorns did in the animated series though, hence erm, the song, where have the unicorns gone - they've all winked out and ended up in Tambelon (I think?). So I still don't think that's really a connection. It seems to be something assumed to be done by unicorns in the G1 US canon, not specifically Twilight's ability alone.
Maybe you can argue that because it's the first one, that's why her - but still...it's kind of inconclusive.

re: Twilight and winking in/out - I get the feeling that was meant to be her "thing" when RaMC was released. The way it's presented there makes it feel like it's something particular to her, rather than something any unicorn can do. Obviously that didn't stick, but hey.
But most people don't know it, they only know "Popples, those cuddly toys that rolled into fuzzy balls that you threw at your siblings."

That was the impression I got too. Then they just expanded it to "every unicorn can do that!" when they made the syndicated cartoon.

I love this. No way for me to get one though. I hate conventioron exclusive stuff cause I can't ever get them. My cousin goes. Every year but she has set stuff she waits in line for.
Also what is Hasbro pulse?

The Hasbrotoyshop (now called Hasbro Pulse) usually has a ton of extras a couple of weeks after the event- I wouldn't be too worried.
Twilight Sparkle is pretty meh though. Nice she has bangs but....that’s about it. It would have been nice if we got ONE Twilight Sparkle toy that had her accurate show hair color. :pout:
Hmmm what hair color would match that blue and do any other ponies have that color on their toy version? RD's blue in her tail is too light in color to match the color for Twilight (one ID site says her hair is dark indigo, which to me is a purple-blue but that tends to look more purple than blue to me x.x) and that blue seems to be used for every pony that has blue in their hairTwilight Sparkle is pretty meh though. Nice she has bangs but....that’s about it. It would have been nice if we got ONE Twilight Sparkle toy that had her accurate show hair color. :pout:
Or even body color, for that matter. Hasbro seems to be trying to fix some design inaccuracies with new and upcoming toys like giving some upcoming ponies more accurate eyes, and releasing a properly blue Luna in that upcoming set with Minty, but they still have yet to give us a Twilight Sparkle with the proper colors. Her body is still way too pink of a purple and she still doesn't have blue hair...

Kinda wish she'd kept the blue hair. If there's one thing that bothers me about the Mane 6 constellation, it's that everyone except Applejack has pink and/or purple hair (Well, it's only one streak in Rainbow Dash's case, but still).
I like the all blue.. but I do think the final product is more unique.

I agree with that on an individual level, her final look is a more appealing design. But when you look at them as a group the lack of diversity in hair colors bothers me. :lol:

Well I stand corrected! :lol: Poor twilight!
I’ve always thought her hair was more of a deep purple, but after seeing her concept art I guess it is more of a blue! It’s such a pretty color, it’s a shame that we probably won’t see it. I know HQG1C’s Genie has a custom hair color, but I’ve always thought it would be a good match for Twilight Sparkle.
Aw man! I forgot the SDCC was last weekend! I checked out HasbroPulse just now but My Little Pony doesn't even come up with any results in the search. Probably anything they had sold out at this point, eh? :\

Their brands listed there are well what most people would call "for boys". Pulse is supposed to be for the fans but looking at it... yeah I'm pretty sure MLP still has fans but I guess the items on Pulse are more exclusive than what you might find in store?
I'm not holding a candle to seeing the set on Pulse but we'll see
I heard the Basic Fun Majesty sold out, but I guess she wouldn't have been on Hasbro Pulse anyway, since she's technically not "made" by Hasbro, just licensed from them . . . ?
I'd like to pick up the Twilight / Twilight Sparkle set so fingers crossed that they have more of her.
Yes, she will be sold on pulse on 8/12. Each exclusive is being released at different times. I only know this because I was following the link for the Con Star Wars item, and that isn't being released until 9/10.
Hmm I've been checking out the Hasbro Pulse page all morning and I've seen no updates so far. :work:Oh, good, I thought I was just incapable of using the site. :P
With the state of G4 these days? I'd be hard pressed to believe that the set sold out in two hours. I did check at 2 AM EST, so if they were posted at midnight I would have snagged one then.
I know that G1 is on the rise again and the connection between this set and G1 would bring more demand, but I think I remember the 2018 exclusive being up on the site for...a few days...at least a week...
There are more collectors out there then people think. Why wouldn't it be possible?Never said it wasn't possible, just that I don't think it's very likely just based on the G4 community I see and how the exclusive did last year. I don't think that the retro revival would be enough to make it sell out in so little time.

The website says "My Little Pony convention exclusives will be available on HasbroPulse.com starting 8/16 (subject to change)
Pulse Premium Early Access: 8/15 (subject to change)"
So if you want the pony bad enough you can pay for their "Hasbro Pulse" subscription ($50 probably)
Or you can wait for leftovers on 8/16 (Friday)
ALSO Every single year they always have a ton of SDCC MLP LEftovers (with the exception of the grey :muffin: Pony pony) so I don't think this year will be any different. So I wouldn't panic and sign up for the Hasbro Pulse thing. Just wait till Friday.
Yay!I think Hasbro doesn't bother to look at exact dates for the first generation ponies lol Or they don't care, because they couldn't even be bother to make a mini version of the exact G1 mold
I do really like the double-sided display package, that is cute. Okay but if they can specifically say 2019 for Twilight Sparkle, why couldn't they say the year Twilight came out, instead of "1980's"? lol

Yeah premium membership only lets you buy one day before everyone else. XD Which I guess would be a good thing if you are trying for something that you think will go out of stock... but it seems lately the exclusives don't run out these days, so we're safe.
The Transformers/Ghostbusters mashup IS cool, but wow, $150! I'm glad they don't make fancy MLP's in that price range, ha!
Yeah that's what I said?
I think that I'm going to have to have a hard pass on this...

Awesome! Glad to hear the hair is nicer. Can they be removed from the package without wrecking the box?I'll have to edit it tonight to show everyone. I personally ripped a bit of the box because I grew impatient but yes! And the spinning is done by just two pieces of plastic inside the outer box. I was imagining something much more of a hassle to open and take out but I was surprised!
I recorded an unboxing and will edit...... eventually. I will say the hair quality is nicer than were used to.
Also, is Twilight Sparkle's hair blue or purple on the toy? I'm going crazy and can't figure it out. I was going to reroot her (might reroot regardless because the hair I have is a better match for her show counterpart) but I'd like to know. Maybe it was my lighting, it's hard to tell.
Definitely purple.I knew it, I AM going crazy!
Definitely purple.I knew it, I AM going crazy!
I will proceed with the rehair as usual, then!

I wouldn't say that. Everybody perceives hues differently.

It's really long, which I guess is good if you like detail. It goes into a lot of detail.
SDCC 2019 Twilight's hair is the new Dress Picture. Blue, or purple? :P
