Those are fairly old to be honest, I never saw them myself, but they're nothing new.
When the Equestria Girls dolls show up in stores and you end up with unneeded doubles, PM me! I'll buy them!/i]

yep, those were released in 2011... all of the main 6 EXCEPT Fluttershy were packaged as singles... .  There was also a 4-pack of them released without Applejack or Fluttershy.

Ooo, that's the only way I can find blind bag ponies up here (Canada)!

She's cute!  Great buy! :biggrin:

Wishlist - I'm back on (semi-) active buying again... can't buy everything on my wish list all at once (yay, back-to-school and tuition fees), but I am still looking to plump up my collection a bit more: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,380638.0.html

I "think" they were available at Big Lots here in the US. I never saw them though.

It could be they are only just getting to your Tesco lil.cutie.pie...I know they were in my local stores for ages in massive quantities but only appeared in another Tesco I go to in the city a couple of months ago!

As StrawberryReef says - only the main 6 minus Fluttershy so far this way - we had these in the UK before we even got blind bags, I remember being a little worried this was the only way we would be getting G4 "Ponyville" size ponies. And I think they were in other parts of Europe really early in 2011 as well.

In the UK Asda never stocked them this way but Tesco have never [yet] carried blind bags - the stores much have taken different options for that price point item.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
