Dungeons and Dragons Ponies

[Leave a Whisper]

These are pretty cute, but I don't think I'm terribly interested since I don't play DnD.

Lack of eye sculpting strikes again, their eyes look too far down.

That's the main reason I don't like these fake retro molds. I have no faith in Hasbro quality control. Eyes gonna end up all over the place. That being said, this is a pretty cute set. I like these much more than the Ghostbusters one.

I don't see them as fake retro moulds. I see them as brand new moulds. They've got flaws but ya know, so do other current moulds.

They are new molds, which is why they can't actually be retro, because retro means old. But they are touted by Hasbro as retro. That's why they're fake retro.

They're touted as Retro Style. Not unlike the Dollymix Ponies and The Loyal Subject Ponies. Nowhere did they ever say: Hey! This is an exact replica of the ponies you grew up with.

 That's what the Basic Fun Repros are for.

That doesn't make them fakie moulds, just new ones.

There's a difference between Repro and Retro. Retro is ike a 50s style Jukebox you can download songs on. Repro is a 50s style Jukebox you can still play records on.

Mewtwofan1 - thanks for the info! I agree, it definitely looks like an Almiraj (which are so cute!!!! I wish she'd come with a figure of one!).

I consider these retro molds. Just like I consider all if the “new” g1 clip art retro.  Because it was designed with the g1 aesthetic in mind but is not an exact copy.  It was designed to appeal to fans of g1.*

Retro:  designed to have the “vibe” of something past.  I.e.  a brand new pair of bell bottoms designed to give the impression of 70s bell bottoms but with current design elements.

Repro (reproduction:). Designed to closely or exactly match the original.  I.e. Basic Fun ponies or a brand new pair of bell bottoms made to exactly look like a 70s era pair.

Vintage: old or the original.  The original pair of bell bottoms made in the 70s.

* But also maybe children?  Perhaps they were trying to bridge the gap between G4 and G1?  I mean that is literally what they did with the first set of ponies released on this mold.

I'm in a local toy group on FB, it's 90% men and generally about marvel ledgends, star wars and 80s boy lines but they have posted about these DnD and the Ghostbusters ponies

here's a comment from that group about the DnD set that I think sums up perfectly why Hasbro is doing this "I never buy ponies but when I do they look like this!"

I think it's an amazing idea and the colors and hair look great!  But the eye placement will bug me forever.  If they ever go for cheap, maybe I'll try and fix it.

Ha! They could make Alpha Trion as a DnD figure. He looks like a Space Wizard.

I'm sure it'll be released everywhere, they just happen to be showing up in the UK first. (Makes for a nice change from the usual )
