Zhu Zhu Ponies?!?!?!?

[sweetstuff]

You know, for a zhu-zhu, that's not bad. My mom bought them for the boys when they were all the rage- poor things never got played with. I'd bet my daughter would get a kick out of them though.

Saw the commercials from 2010... of course, not interested in buying, but I think the little raccoon is adorable~

Eh toy ponies have been being done since the 80's. They kinda remind me of the Keypers horse more than MLP. I really get tired of people going "OMG they are copying!!!" every time someone comes up with something remotely inspired by something someone else has done before. Like everything in this world has to be 100% original or it shouldn't be done.

I think they're cute!

Yes, but Cepia has been very desperate lately with coming up with new toys after their huge Zhu Zhu hit back in 2009. They probably asked, "What is really popular with little girls and such right now?". And somebody probably said, "Well, My Little Pony has become really popular all of a sudden". "Then let's make Zhu Zhu Ponies! Little girls love ponies!"

But Hasbro definatly did the worst with Furry Frenzies! They downright copied them! Just watch the commercial! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1f3a3eTYul0
Seriously Hasbro, you are such a huge company and once a small company makes a huge hit you have to copy them?? If you want to make money you should've made more Ponies for MLP Fair and Comic Con!

Omg I NEED Indiana. She looks so cute

Me too! *squeals*

Giraffes are adorable, so the resemblance makes me a very happy kitten must look into ZZP!

edit: eep, there IS a giraffe!! But its feet look so weird.. oh dear.

Here is a pic of a Zhu-Fari Giraffe!

That is so true Why make copes of the ZZP when they aren't nearly as popular anymore when they could make thousands on more Ditzy Doos? Hasbro needs to hire someone with common sense

I'm torn.   Part of me is like, they're really cute and fuzzy and I like that Blackberry's colours, and the other part of me is like, ewww, their legs are weird and their faces are kinda smooshed and can't get over that they're ZhuZhus.   I guess I'll wait to see 'em in person.

I'm not saying they weren't inspired by MLP. I'm just saying how it seems to people on the internet that even being /inspired/ is a crime these days.

I didn't even think what Hasbro did with Furreal Frenzies was so bad. Back at that time they came out the Zhuzhus were only hamsters. Hasbro saw what Cepia was doing and noticed they weren't doing any other animals so they decided to make something to fill that void. Hasbro never did a hamster FF and of all the animals that Hasbro did, Cepia still hasn't done any kitties. (I would die if Cepia actually made ZhuZhu kitties)

I'd be tempted to try and split thier legs.

Oh there cute, My daughter has a few Zhu Zhu pets, So id probally get her a couple and me maybe just one!

Well, the Zhu Zhu Pets Wildbunch came out in June 2010. It included a bunny, skunk, hedgehog, and raccoon, 2 months BEFORE Furry Frenzies came out in Fall 2010. In June 2010 Cepia also released Zhu Zhu Pets Rockstars that featured crazy personalities and funky hair. Later in the year, Hasbro released FurrStars Furry Frenzies that also had funky hair.

Cepia is also releasing Zhu Zhu Kittens this year. Look it up on google images.

I think people need to remember that this is business and business is about making money. It has nothing to do with ethics. They follow trends and they milk them for all they're worth. That's what business is.

All I know is, my girls would be all over those!
