My Thoughts to Hasbro on MLP

[Lady Starflower]

I agree it's very well said and you should send it. I agree with WingsofMasquerade you should print it out and mail it...they *might* be more keen on reading it if the effort is taken to actually mail it.

Who knows if Hasbro will take any to heart but its always worth a try at least!

Send it

Rock on, dude. All of this is so true! Do it. Send it!!!

Well said! I love the FiM show, but the toyline is getting tired out pretty quickly. And if the toys start to fail, the show will as well, and I just don't want to see that happen. I love the variety G1s had/have to offer in the toys, while focusing on a handful of characters in the show and movies.

I think it would be fun if FiM had 'shorts' focusing on background ponies - it wouldn't detract from the main show, and it would offer a chance to expand on ponies besides the Mane 6, whether they're fan-favorites or based on older gen ponies.

And yes, the G4 toys do have quality-control problems - rarely can you find a pony that doesn't have misaligned eyes, weird marks or a head/body mismatch.

I had to edit some grammar mistakes.  So, I should mail this in?

The thing is I would like to work for Hasbro on the creative side of things.  I have original ideas as well as adjunct ideas for their existing franchises.  I like their franchises because they focus on science fiction and fantasy which is what I prefer to write.  I have been tempted to send a query letter about my ideas.

I should probably find out who would be best to send this to personally.  They like when you go to effort to mail it and really like it when you go to the effort to address it to the person specifically.

Interesting letter

I think if you believe in it then you should send it - you never know what, if and when they will listen to something.

Send it!    there's no harm in trying to make a change. 

[babylicketysplit]

please send it!  it is very well written.

still feels like they slapped us in the face for the 30 year anniversary...  they havent even really mentioned it!

[Dulci]

I expect it will be like the previous generations, if anything.

Ponies will die out.

Ponies will return 5-10 years down the line.

I hate the Equestria Girls but eh, oh well.  It will come and go like any line.

I was wondering about this. I thought they would of started something way earlier this year!  Pretty sad Hasbro.

Well said.  Is there a thread where someone posted the questions and answers for hasbro?  I will look for it.  But, based on what you said Hasbro was vague as usual.

I think i've read a question somewhere (I don't remember if it was on here  ), asking a question about "Will we see anymore FS Applejacks"
And Hasbro answered, "The  FS ponies for this year will be Pinkie Pie and Cadance"
  ... okaaaay? Y'all didn't really answer the question that was given to you 
(Again, this isn't word for word. I'm just basing it from my memory Xs)

I just saw the hasbro panel and was disappointed.  I know hasbro legally can't give answers to some of the questions, but I felt as though most of the questions hasbro could have answered with a simple yes or no.  I was especially curious about their answers to seeing Minty and about having 30th anniversary ponies and if hasbro knows the difference between collectors and bronies and not all collectors are bronies, etc.  It almost seems like hasbro doesn't care anymore and I got annoyed how they made their vague answers all sparkley and shiny.

If you google around, you can probably find a creative department director to send it to or something

Show that you respect and honor the entire franchise instead of promoting a generational gap where you only care about the new and the old is dead to you.  You do it for Transformers, you can do it for My Little Pony.

I 100% agree!  For any of us with husbands or boyfriends, or someone in our lives who collects Transformers we all know how many re-issues and remakes there has been over the years of the original 1980's lines. They have given us ONLY two sets of reissued G1 ponies. I don't see how 12 ponies is ANYWHERE near equal to the dozens of reissued robots in my house. Mattel makes reissues of vintage Barbie, why can't Hasbro give us more collector reissue ponies?

Now, that being said, I do realize that the Transformers line is licensed from Takara/Tomy. So in regards to the Transformers reissues, there are actually more Japanese reissues than what was released in the US. In Japan the brand is manufactured under Takara/Tomy and in the US it is under Hasbro.

Now here is a wild idea...... Barbie has whole collector lines, and in addition a paid collectors club. So would the pony fan base be willing to do that? If Hasbro was to create a collectors club where they would release reissues, rarities, designer ponies etc, would we the fan base support that? Just food for thought.
