MLP Tales with Miss Hackney as a Chase figure might be an option. That would be interesting, don't you think?They're animated so in blind bag form it's possible. I don't see them making retro versions of those ponies in full though.I'm certain now that those placeholder pictures on the box for the RaMC are the pictures they used either to promote their retro release sets or the ones from the boxes. Which makes sense if they aren't ready to use their own yet.There's part of me that things 40th anniversary is the finale, though, at least for the pony line. I suppose we'll see what happens, but it wouldn't surprise me if they branch out into blind bags more, given their other products in that area, and that might be the bulk of it going forward.Are there other sets that they didn't release, or are we only dealing with prototypes that look different (like the first tooth baby sundance which was a repeat pony if a different release plan).The final Celestial's product number is probably 35344, based on the others, but I can't find anything for her at the moment.
I think she's Milky Way, yeah, unless they've changed it from what they had at Toy Fair. which I wouldn't complain if they did, I much prefer Nebula to a recycled name XPyeah the placeholder is so weird!! I really think they just used whatever G1 images they found first, haha. It's odd they're even using a placeholder when we KNOW they have a proper stock photo of the actual ponies all ready to go... online listings are so weird
Someone on Facebook posted comparison shots of the Basic Fun Minty from a couple years ago versus the new Basic Fun Minty, and they have slightly different eye styles. It's hard to describe, but with the first set the eye paint kind of overruns the original eye socket mold. (Probably to avoid the lizard eye thing that the Hasbro retro Collector ponies had . . . Molds tend to shrink a little when they are recast.)The eyes do look cuter on the newer set so I guess I'm buying all of them again, ha ha! Oh, also the two Mintys had slightly different hair shades. One had white hair, one had more silvery-white.
I'll get back to you on that one after I put on my tinfoil hat I've been thinking about making a custom set of BF Twinkle Eye collector ponies so it all works out.

But you give em a green pony, and suddenly it's lizard this, Bigfoot that!" - A Hasbro exec, probably
