I do enjoy seeing G3 ponies in G4, I believe Waterfire was another one who had a blind bag toy.
I didn't know this G4 as I don',t really follow blind bags, but it's just another example of a pony who COULD have been made and COULD have been given a place in children's hearts, but wasn't, because hasbro are obsessed with the same six ponies. I find that sad, but at least she exists in blind bag form.A&F was a valentine Target pony I think, so not global - I guess this way she gets a wider release as a blind bag??I have seen some really pretty blind bag figures (I know the names of none of them) who would make amazing ponies. (And I still want a pony version of Adagio Dazzle and her sidekicks, but no luck so far).Hasbro really need to do more with these kinds of characters.

Too many ponies are out there that could be getting released in actual brushable form (or MORE brushables), but just aren't, because everything is mane 6 and Princesses. Some ponies don't even HAVE any merch! (Sassy Saddles, Starswirl, Mistmane, Chip Cutter, Tender Taps, Gabby the Griffon, Iron Will, Tirek, and the Diamond Dogs, to name a few)

I refuse to buy that stuff, it's not MLP to me, regardless of if hasbro is making it etc.I don't want Diamond Dogs, that would honestly be the last thing I'd ever buy. Tirek, no thanks. I just don't want any of that other junk, not interested, nope.
Guardians of Harmony? why aren't them MLP to you? Hasbro has put out things that aren't pony brushables, before, like the porcelain figures back in g1. Are they MLP, in spite of not having brushable hair? Gimme my brushable Tirek, please.
It's a personal decision as to whether something is or isn't a pony in the context of their collection.

It's a personal decision as to whether something is or isn't a pony in the context of their collection. I don't buy GOH either. It doesn't bother me that it's there, but I don't count them as ponies. They're pony merchandise to me. So are ceramics. Ponies are brushables. That's because I'm a G1 person (and so is Unicorn) and G1 was basically about brushables. Nothing wrong with that. It's just personal preference, which should be respected IMO.I also don't care about having toys of the other characters in the show in any generation because I basically don't like the show much in any generation It's fine, it's just not the be all and end all of MLP to me. I wouldn't really want any Tirek, brushable or otherwise. I don't really understand the FIM mindset of seeing everything through the lens of what's in the animation. Those characters were irrelevant to my childhood as I didn't see most of the G1 animation until I was about 14 - and I genuinely don't mind. But I probably wouldn't want dolls of the Weather Witch or Wizard Wantall either, from the comics...I don't even like Megan all that much. Dragons and pony attendants/friends I'm ok with...but that's I guess where I personally draw the line.
She's cute but I prefer her predecessor Always and Forever, as well as Wish-I-May and Wish-I-Might. I hardly ever do blindbags. I never cared for Truly, Heartthrob or Cadance.
