The pony isn't ... as bad as it could have been, but really, another Pinkie, and for $50??? It feels like an insult. Like, "those collectors will buy anything, so we can send out some Pinkies we threw together last-minute while the TF collectors get an awesome trio of female robots." The packaging is awesome in the context of the costume; but I don't like to pay $50 for a fancy box, you know? I think we should start taking bets; will this exclusive sit in the Hasbrotoyshop as long as the blinged-out DJ-P0n3 did, or even longer?

Like "Uhhh...slap an outfit on those FS Pinkies we've had shelfwarming in the warehouse! $50 exclusive! It's perfect!" The costume is cute and I would buy it if it(and other pony clothes) were sold on their own. Don't need another Pinkie(4 is enough for me) and don't need a big fancy box. Even though people didn't like the DJ exclusive, there seems like there was at least more effort put into it. It just flopped. Though I like mine just fine.I may change my mind if it turns out that this Pinkie is significantly different from the ones they sell in the stores(like better quality or more hair, different mold), but she doesn't seem to be besides the outfit and box? Well, that's another $50 I get to keep this year at least.

Well, that's another $50 I get to keep this year at least.Her eyes are printed like Pony so at least she is different from a standard release even without the costume. She seems well thought out since she was based on a comic book cover variant. If she ended up in HTS for a reasonable price I would be tempted to get her.
Do we know for sure that the price is $50? I know that's what bling DJ cost, but can someone at the Fair confirm?I still like her a lot. Exclusives are always expensive for what they are. Muffin and those before her were just an FS pony priced at $30. No accessories or anything.That being said, I'm hoping I can get Chicken!Pinkie for less than $50.
