What's this McDonald's toy business I'm reading about?  do I have to get one of those in order to get Fluttershy?

No, but one of McDonald's toys is from Build a Bear and it has a coupon in it for $10 of a $30 purchase at Build a Bear!  It doesn't really have anything to do with Fluttershy, just saving money.  And as someone else said, they are good until May 1st next year so I am going to stock up.

I'm curious about the scents. Has anyone gotten the scents in their BABW ponies (or any other plush)? I'm wondering how fragrant they are (like are they super strong, or can you only smell them when you have your nose up to it) and whether they last. Also, are the scents pretty close to what they're supposed to smell like? I'm thinking of getting one when I order my Fluttershy.

My Pinkie Pie is cupcake scented, she's under the bed now, and it smells completely like icing under there. My brother's Rainbow Dash is cotton candy scented and it is SO strong! I got bubblegum scent for my Fluttershy and it hasn't really kicked in yet, but I've noticed it takes about a day or two before the scent really gets out.

It's still not overpowering though, it's a nice gentle scent, like a lotion. You really smell it best if you're holding them though.

I'm thinking about getting cupcake scent for my Fluttershy. At least it's not too expensive, so if it fades in a few months or a year, I won't feel so bad about wasting money.

I believe they told me it does last about a year.

We tell people they last about six months but that's really only for kids who play with their toys a lot. If you're just setting it on your bed or a shelf, the scent should last for a while. My bf got me a BAB goat last year with a cupcake scent and it's still going strong!

But melipuffles is right, it takes about two days for the stuffing to absorb the smell. My personal favorites are the cotton candy and cake icing scents (although the frosting is a bit too strong for most people).

jeez I sound like a salesperson. haha I'm sorry. I swear that's not my intention.

Got 2 today!  Yay, I wont have to venture out Friday after all!  They said they didn't get her dress in - it wont arrive until Dec. 6th due to no shipment on Black Friday.  I'll just pick that up online with her shoes.

Also, that Bunny Fluttershy is A-DOOR-BOWL.

Same here and I was so worried because we were traveling out of town as well!!

[sailorstitch]

I got my Fluttershy yesterday!!! 

Mom and I ran by McDonald's before we left town to grab a couple of the BABW coupons.

After I picked up my Fluttershy I was talking to my friend that went with me. I didn't notice it because I tend to get a bit of tunnel vision when I shop, but he pointed out that EVERYBODY in the store was staring at me.  I was the only one getting Fluttershy at the moment. After my friend pointed it out I noticed a mother asking an employee how they could get Fluttershy. A few minutes later another family came in with a Fluttershy coupon so I wasn't alone for long.

BABW was PACKED!!!!! I bet I waited in line at the stuffing machine for about a hour! Then the manager had to stitch my Fluttershy closed by hand.

I did talk to the manager about who's going to be next. She wasn't very confident that they ARE going to make anybody else. She said that when BABW does a series they don't do more than 4.  She said she hadn't heard anything about them doing anymore. She also said that they will NOT be doing any characters outside of the main six because there isn't enough demand for it. She said that the kids don't know who these other characters are.  I'm not too sure that I buy that. She did say that social media is driving this whole thing. She also said that based on what they're getting from social media, if they make anymore it will Rarity next. I commented on how I had heard that MLP is BABW's biggest seller right now. She gave me a flat out NO to that! She said that they are popular, but nowhere near their top seller.  So if we want to see the rest of the main six we need to be posting on BABW's social media. Sadly, I'm not on Facebook, Twitter, etc. So the rest of you are going to have to help out.

I did get Fluttershy's sound for her. I haven't bought the sound in the past, but I needed Fluttershy's "Yay".  Since they didn't have her dress I got the Rainbow Tulle Top and the Sparkle Bunny Hat. I wasn't planning on buying any clothes, but I've been wanting that hat for a long time. And the Rainbow Top allows room for Fluttershy's wings. And it's SOOOOOOOO hard to find anything the winged ponies can wear without cutting holes in the clothes. I also bought a $10 gift card for $5 so I'm going to put that towards Fluttershy's dress when it comes out.

My mom had brought her BABW Rudolph with her so she could find some clothes for him. She ended up with $23 worth of clothes so she had me pick out something so she could use one of our McD's coupons. I found a *NEW* MLP t-shirt for $7. I'll post a picture of it tonight. It's not online yet.

Unfortunately, what that manager said matches my experiences when I worked at BAB. The ponies are too expensive to be their biggest sellers--a lot of parents told their kids to get one of  the $10-$12 bears, so those always sold fastest. At best, they usually said $20 was the limit. I don't doubt the ponies are profitable though!

And, yeah...aside from maybe Hello Kitty (which has gotten probably ten different forms by now), I've never seen a set of more than four. But hope springs eternal!

[melipuffles]

I definitely think they'll make all 6...realistically, even if they sell sets of four, I doubt they'll say "Hey this is a show with 6 main characters,and it's selling well (even if it's not the best), let's just make 4!"

Also, kids DEFINITELY know the other characters! I remember a little girl in WalMart coming through my register and seeing my Pony bracelet and yelling "MOM MOM! Pony!!!!" and pointing at it.

I was carrying my Celestia plushie around and a mom asked me which one it is, and her daughter yelled "Moooom! That's Princess Celestia!"

One kid told me their favorite pony was Spitfire too, so, they definitely know.
 Although I still highly doubt that there will be more than the main 6 made.

[sailorstitch]

They also have the WWF animals. I know that they've made more than 4 of those. Then there's the Kennel Kulb dogs. There's more than 4 or those too.

I did see a little girl buying a TS while I was there and she named her Rupunzel!
