Crystal Empire Rainbow Collection + "Crystal" Fluttershy

[Eternia]

So it's looking like the wedding themed stuff, the crystal empire, and the collector line at TRU are going to be released all at the same time? that's a lot of pony all at once. I wish they'd space it out a little and start releasing stuff this summer. I'm gonna go broke so fast.

Yes there seems to be three lines

Crystal Empire - Target
Pony Friends Forever - TRU
Royal Wedding - Everywhere

Confusing!

I should be feeling really angry now.  There are new ponies I want, but there seems to be no way for me to acquire them unless with help from US.

Hasbro... you really are making ME angry at you and your really close distribution ways on ponies ¬¬X

The green boy!!  And that Fluttershy! 

[TheBeatlesPkmnFan42]

The Fluttershy may be another mane 6 rerelease, but this one is amazing! Totally getting her.

It's nice to see Hasbro actually doing something a little bit different with the Mane Six, I like this.

[saply]

Ah yes that green colt.


I heard something about Crystal Empire being this gen's movie.
Can we assume this Emerald Ray fellow to be a character from that or just a random throw-in since the cast lacks green ponies?


Also why is there no red in the rainbow? Glitter Big Mac would have been cool

It's not a movie name, just the name of Target's exclusive FiM line of merchandise like the Canterlot line they had last year. This year TRU also has their own exclusive line (Pony Friends Forever or something like that) so I'm a bit surprised Wal-Mart hasn't jumped on the bandwagon yet and made a deal for their own exclusive line as well.

As for the green boy, I'm positive he was just thrown in because there's no green pony in the main cast. Though, Rarity doesn't really fit since white isn't a color in the rainbow, but I guess they didn't want to leave her out.

Maybe Rarity represents the prism?

I NEEEEEED that translucent Fluttershy.    She's just so beautiful!

[lovesbabysquirmy]

Sparkly?  Okay, yep, Hasbro "caught" the market with this...  Glitter and sparkles are very popular at the moment.

[banditpony]

*stomps feet* BOO!
I love translucent + sparkles.
No no no . I don't want more ponies.

Ah well <3 Thankies Hasbro. <3

[babystarz]

Yes! I was sick of the Mane 6 everything but I will definitely buy them all in translucent form!

I really hope Hasbro has found a translucent plastic that won't turn into a sticky mess in a few years, but considering the cheap materials they keep going for with FiM, I won't hold my breath.

[StarSwirl05]

An interesting idea here. Wonder if "Crystal Empire" will be mentioned in FiM Season 3 along with the new green pony here?

[Rhini]

SPPARRKLLYYY! 


I love it! I am a totally fan of the sparkle body FS, I'm very okay with them re-releasing the mane 6 as long as they make them noticeably different each time. (poses, hair, translucent bodies etc). And of course the blind bag set is awesome. 

[Dragonflitter]

undecided about clearish ponies... but I'll probably get at least one....

IT'S TRADITION!!! *mad cackling while thunder booms in the background*



People keep bringing up the fact that Crystal Empire might be the new FiM movie but I doubt there even IS a movie in the works at all. imdb.com is very thorough in their movie database knowledge and usually puts up a page for a movie if there's even the slightest hint of it being in production. I've looked at there is no FiM movie there. Until imdb has it listed, I can't believe rumors of its existence.

[gabumon]

"tradition"! LOL. 

Ever since the FiM Season 2 finale, when I hear Crystal Empire... I think of the dungeon that the real Cadence was trapped in... so it's got negative connotations with me!!  ...  and when my wife heard the phrase Crystal Empire, she wondered who the Emperor,... or Empress is.

[sd_dreamcrystal]

Well there is one thing I can say from a customizer's stand point about the brushables that are transparent... They are probably hopefully going to be the same plastic through and through... In others words, one kind of plastic used for the whole pony.. I hope
