I’d love to see a 35th anniversary Bubbles or Seashell but I agree with toyjunky that were more likely to see pony poses that can be used to make multiple ponies instead of just two. That being said I think Applejack and Bowtie are both good possibilites after the unicorns and pegasus ponies or the first set of baby ponies. I know it won’t happen but I’d love to see a blue Sprinkles since her prototype was blue.
We need to stop giving flutterscotch ideas...at this rate her home is going to become a frankenpony lab!
I don't really want Bubbles and Seashell that much. I mean if they happen I am not going to mind but I don't like the pose and never did. Y2 might also have been the biggest year in the US but in other places it was still getting going at that point. I think the y3 set is more globally iconic but I just want a Cherries Jubilee I guess.
Also more hopeful of y3 uni and peg set and year 3 rainbows but I suppose they could rerelease CC and Blossom alongside 4 new and then release a gift pack...
I have my doubts that will happen. Any new retro pony releases we are going to see are more than likely going to be in sets (except for a playset release like Peachy). Bubbles and Seashell were part of the year 2 Earth Ponies along with Applejack, Bow-Tie, Blossom and Cotton Candy. Since Blossom and Cotton Candy were just released with the collectors set, it is highly unlikely they would be included with any other set release.
Don't get me wrong, I like Bubbles and Seashell but a large factor I would say is that the mold was not used for any other ponies in the US. This would make it unappealing to a company to reproduce as it would be for such a limited use (2 ponies) compared to other pony molds. If you really start to think about it, the ponies they are producing right now are able to use the same molds:
Peachy is collector six
Moonstone/Windy/Twilight is Glory
Skydancer/Starshine/Medley is Firefly
Parasol and Windy are the same
Moondancer and Sunbeam are the same
If we were to get a set of Earth Ponies, I would bet on it being the second set in year 3 (Applejack, Bow-Tie, Cherries Jubilee, Lickety-Split, Posey and Tootsie). After all, Applejack and Bow-Tie (is this a good time to mention Sundance..cough...cough) already have molds made (Parasol), so it would just be making the other two poses.
....tries to imagine someone in their MLP retro department with a large tree map of mlp body types and lines going across to who had what and saying to their boss, "Well you see, if we make this set then we can make this one and this one and..."
I want a purple walking pose Minty! The fact file must be obeyed! XD

I dont really know what i want but off the top of my head, Id actually like to see them make all the g4 ponies into g1 ponies.
Are Tootsie and Cherries Jubilee really any more popular than Bubbles and Seashell, though?
Maybe they'll do a combo set . . . Bubbles, Seashell, Applejack, Bow Tie, Lickety-Split, and Posey.
If they do Applejack and Bow Tie it'll be interesting to see if they go for straight hair or curly hair. I'm a fan of straight hair myself. Also, which body shade for Bow Tie . . . I've seen darker blue and lighter blue versions of her.

It has been for many years. I used to have a bin called "Parts, the Ponus Horror" in my cabinet.

Cherries Jubilee has stood out more in my mind since I showed my sisters the song. They think it's so funny and it gets stuck in my head all the time.
I am honestly surprised they didn't release AJ or Bowtie this round, both of them are pretty important early characters. They've got the mold for the shy pose!
The light and dark body thing seems to be batch..? Mostly the darker bodies seem to show up on y2 Bow Ties...y3 Bow Ties are generally the lighter blue which I think (don't quote me, I can't check right now!) more closely matches the shade used for Baby Bow Tie...
But I wonder how long they will continue to rerelease ponies, until people are fed up? I mean, there are only so many collectors that will get them all, and if they keep rereleasing people will probably stop buying. At least from a collector point of view. ( I dont know how popular they are amoungst children, if they keep releasing them because of them)
I mean, many collectors buys whole sets at the beginning, but if releasing 10-15 sets with ponies that looks just like they did back then, most will probably end up just buying one or two they really like, instead of recollecting sets they might already have.
