So far there hasn't been any Rainbow Power episode to see, no worries.

The singles are also at toysrus, the blind bags, and deluxe blind bag sets are at target.

Those ponies and the helicopter were in UK shops this week too! Ponies in the Entertainer and the helicopter in Smyths.
It's amazing that they're showing up everywhere at once!

i haven't seen the princess' yet, but i've seen the regular ponies, the blind bags, and the blind bag deluxe sets.
so far i totally love them.
though when i bought a bunch of the blindbags today, they didn't ring up. they were on sale for a dollar or so off, but i couldn't remember. so when she asked me how much they were, i said i'm not sure, but i know they're on sale. so she gave them to me for a dollar.
not sure if i should feel excited or guilty.

  That is awesome :)  I always have to ask for price match to at least Walmart's price
but since the last wave, I have just waited for the whole box to show up at Hasbro site, they take a while to change the wave though :)
but it is nice to be able  to buy them all at once and sometimes they have sales, like 25 % off on stuff
so 24 BB for 30 something is a  nice deal  :)
but your deal was a super one :)

Looks like Twilight's missing part of her spinal column in the package and those wings look nice if they're some sort of fabric/pvc mix.

Haha, I don't think they are going to release a Rainbow Power episode. A year of two ago I seem to recall them telling collectors that they were going to start making the line reflect the show more. Doesn't seem like they ever did that. Unless they count narrowing the line down to just the main six and ceasing production of other ponies.

They're in the UK! Saw the Pinkie & Helicopter and Fantastic Flutters today (and by Celestia the QC on those is AWFUL. 2/3 Cadences had big decal flaws, and I'm just hoping with the one I got that the dirty smudge is on the inside of the box and not the pony itself. The Twilights didn't look much better =/ Hopefully this shop just got a dodgy batch or something).

I saw them all today too, in Entertainer. I didn't check Cadence as I was in a hurry, but Twilight was in terrible shape too, and I'm not normally one to scrutinize for these things - But these dirt stains/poor paint were obvious from a distance :(

That's a real shame. I was hoping that this one had just gotten a bad batch >.< I wish Hasbro would sort it out; having to wash a toy right out of the box is really unacceptable.

Yeah I'm definitely noticing a stark drop in quality ever since the new pony mould came about... check out the Rainbow Power Cadance I found over here: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,346130.0.html

I got the deluxe pack of rainbow blind bag ponies (the set with Doctor Whooves, DJ, Rarity, Twilight, and AJ), and I really like it. They have great paint jobs, especially compared to some other sets I've seen.  The only one with kind of sloppy paint is Rarity.
Title: Re: G4 "Rainbow Power" series in stores?
Post by: CupidStrikes on December 13, 2013, 05:55:55 AM
Oh wow, that Cadence! I've noticed it too. The EqG dolls are usually the worst (I've yet to see a single one whom doesn't have glue residue all over her face, scarred joints, or missing paint). Perhaps the blind bags are painted in another factory, or we just notice less because bad paint is fine on a £2 toy but we expect better on something that costs nearly £20!

Rainbow Power is the name of the line however for the 2013/2014 year; the last few line names [i.e. the ones which were for the whole line and not exclusive sets] were part of the cartoon - "Crystal Empire", "Royal Wedding" and "Princess Coronation". That pattern is the only reason I think we will see some connection to the cartoon...mind you with Hasbro, who knows?!

Yes! And when you look at the line 'logo', you can see little flying ponies. For me, it's too interesting to be just a line picture. I think it means something more :)

It's actually flying cutie marks of the mane six. Pink balloon, orange apple, yellow butterfly, blue lightning bolt, purple star and white/pale purple diamond. It seems a little too complex and specific to just be a throwaway design for this one line of toys, but who knows? Sometimes the packaging gets changed a lot for something that isn't directly in the show. Heck, Pinkie Pie's Boutique is completely irrelevant and wayyy out of character, but it still gets highly specific colours and new designs. We'll just have to wait and see. ;)

The difference is whether the line is an exclusive or not though. Exclusive lines - be they Pinkies Boutique or Friends Forever - are specific for a store and created with that store. When you have a whole line with a dedicated name normally it ties up with the show or a special. Hasbro were even doing this back in G3 :)

FS Rainbow Rarity is the only one I've seen in stores here so far, but today was also the first time that I saw Masquerade ponies in Walmart. :blink: (Calgarians! If you're looking for Sunset Shimmer, get your flanks to the Walmart in Deerfoot Mall!)

Is the 3" alicorn Twilight on shelves yet? And aaaah so excited for that FS Rarity. She's not listed on websites here, but I've got my fingers crossed! Most stores that stock the FS (and actually, not many stores DO stock the FS ponies 0_o odd) have sold all their Cadence and Twilights so here's hoping they'll restock with Rarity... I'm really hoping the second wave of Rainbow Power toys will have the other Mane Six re-released in FS size with hair and decals like that.

Nothing at our Target yet- and I recently had to drive waaaay out of town to the nearest Kmart- who was similarly deprived.

I will admit that I'm looking forward to that Rarity quite a lot- even though she does clash with her self most horribly- somehow the wings make the colors blend a lot better. 

I already snagged Fluttershy from Taobao- she is so stinking cute, even with her silly mini-wings.

I actually can't wait for the little mini packs- like the pack with Daring Do and Chrysalis- and I love the way the Twilight Sparkle alicorn mini mold too- so cute!

These are showing up here on the Space Coast of Florida. I've seen the FS Rarity at TRU, Target, and Walmart (I think). I've seen the rainbow BB set with Doctor Whooves at Target and TRU. And I found the tinsel Rarity and Fluttershy at Target. I haven't seen anything else from this line though.

It's really sad that these days Hasbro doesn't really care much about quality control. The quality was getting bad already by the time the new head molds came in, and now it's worse.

I can't believe we're seeing ponies IN STORES with melted heads :cry:.

I found the Fantastic Flutters and Pinkie's Helicopter in The Entertainer toy shop the other day,I wasn't paying alot of attention to be honest (I was just shocked that they had Rainbow Power merch already) but the Fantastic Flutters looked a bit grotty,although nothing major like the wonk head (that's probably the worse G4,not counting Equestria Girls,factory error I've ever seen!) that poor Cadance!

Looked at rather a bunch of stores today and found only the helicopter set (yellow blades). Oh, and one single RP playful pony (Pinkie Pie) next to a whole bunch of masquerade playfuls, which is interesting, because if there's one then that suggests there used to be more, so maybe rereleases do work...

Post by: Wardah on December 26, 2013, 02:47:19 AM
I thought that all of them have a different colored streak of hair in their mane as well as the 2 different streaks of tinsel (except for Dash and Twily who already have more than one color hair and just have the added two streaks of tinsel). There is enough difference that if they had different cutie marks they would pass as a different pony.

Their tinsel seems to be striped.  Maybe it's just me.

Also isn't this the first one with Fluttershys "new eyes"?

UK pony stock is a fickle beast. Two weeks ago I found Rainbow Power Pinkie's helicopter & the Fantastic Flutters in an Entertainer. I went into one today and they had none of the RP line, though they have fully restocked on the EqG Doll + pony sets (and increased the price, the cheeky so-and-sos!) O_o

I have Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie from this series and I think Fluttershy is cuter than the normal one :P I don't like those tinsels :/

I saw at Target Rainbow FS Fluttershy and Brushable Cadance.  I also saw new blind bags.  However, I did not see the blind bag sets, which of course is what I was looking for.

Went to REGULAR Target today, and I saw the beginning of the Rainbow Power line! :D and even FS Rarity! (didn't get her yet, got the crazy tinsel one though along with the special blind bag set with DJ and Dr.)

I knew Target don't disappoint unlike TRU in my area :P (seriously, Target's more trustworthy than TRU  :lol: )

Can anyone who owns the FS Rarity, Stylin' Fluttershy, or the single confirm - Are their bodies matte like previous releases or shiny? I noticed my Fantastic Flutters are shiny, but wondered if this was just these two.

I saw them in Meijer around Nov 16th but they were all gone within a week and I haven't seen any since.  I'm not sure if they all got sold or had been accidentally put out to early and were recalled.

Rarity's matte, at least mine is.

Bit miffed that she came out of her box with some scuff marks on her feet. >_<

I wouldn't mind...if their brushables actually LOOKED like the designs in that ad and the packaging. Which are actually really pretty, and I would buy another set of the mane six if they actually looked like that. Alas, Hasbro, you have cheaped out on us and you can keep your awful-looking tinsel-maned ponies :(

I always said the line had a connection with the show :) Its too obvious for it not to be. But I agree with CupidStrikes, it would have been nice if the ponies could actually look like the show artwork.

I hit TRU yesterday to spend my last $10 off coupon, and they have tons of RP stuff. I picked up the Rainbow Pony Favorite blind bag set and Stylin' Strands Fluttershy. They also had rainbow FS Rarity, flutter Twilight and Cadance, Zoom n Go Pinkie and Dash, and the Pinkiecopter. No singles or wave 9 blind bags yet...just wave 8 and we're just now getting the Masquerade ponies.

It's fake. Pinkie Pie isn't in the center.

...Naw, just kidding. I'm still curious though as to whether or not we'll actually see it in the show, since I believe this was an ad for the toys?
Title: Re: G4 "Rainbow Power" series in stores?
Post by: Galactica on December 31, 2013, 05:15:38 AM
Well I agree that the add was for the toyline, but it seems unlikely they'd create vectors for the Rainbow line and have an ad for the toys if they weren't going to incorporate it into the show.  Since the show, is also an ad.

I actually really love rainbows, I just wish they had done a little bit better of a job with the styles of some of these...  especially when they use the clashing colors, it is really jarring!

I just saw the regular ponies in a Target here in GA. They're pretty -- I especially like the Rarity. I still wish we could have new ponies, though. Or, at least, some other ponies with new designs -- like a Rainbow Blossomforth -- or something like that.

Tried a reverse google image but couldn't find a source, just lots of reposts.

Btw, her package did not have that "Look im RAINBOWFIED" sticker.

That's not too bad of a price! That's only about $4-ish more than the US price of $8.99, but I agree there isn't anything too special about them to warrant a higher price other than the fancy wings.

Yeah they're £7.99 here which is £3 more than the regular playful ponies. I don't mind paying a tad more considering they're so pretty, and I believe the Glimmer Wings ponies were around that price originally, too? (Unsure, I only bought one recently and she'd been reduced to £5 ^^)

Their tinsel seems to be striped.  Maybe it's just me.

Also isn't this the first one with Fluttershys "new eyes"?

My Fluttershy with the paper mask has the wide-eye design, I'm a bit of a Fluttershy lover and hadn't noticed this until the other day so I had to buy her as I will collect repeat ponies but only if there is a difference (such as tinsel hair, eyes, pose etc)

As you said there's the masquerade Fluttershy who has wide eyes with gem shine. There's also Crystal Motion Fluttershy who has wide gem eyes. The Fluttershy from Midnight in Canterlot has wide eyes with normal/round shine. So the RP single is the fourth to be released, and the RP styling strands is the first Fluttershy fashion style with wide eyes.

The giant styling size ponies haven't been released yet but both the alicorn prototype and the pegasus version have wide eyes too.

I think in theory, the change is actually to make her look more like the animation as it is. I dont really see it either :P but I think thats the idea.

That does make sense; and I completely agree with you.

It seems that all of the Mane 6 have gotten special makeovers for the Rainbow Power line. They all have stripes of different colors in their hair and crazy patterns all over their bodies. I think that they're only temporary changes for this special line.

The rainbow line is starting to show at the Targets around me. Rainbow Rarity and Ribbonshy and the PinkieCopter have all turned up, as well as the singles. The only mini rainbow set that's hit so far is the big one; the little three-pony sets aren't even hinted at yet. One store had a box of rainbow blind bags, which were gone almost as soon as they arrived, but there haven't been any more since.

Oh, I really, really hope there aren't more wave revisions going on! I hate wave revisions, they make it so much harder to find all the sets! Just release a new wave as a new wave, Hasbro! And leave it at that! >_<

I'd say maybe it was a mistake, but the front of the card has the ~Rainbow Power Smear Thingy~ on it so...it's clearly for a RP set  -_- . It really doesn't make a lot of sense to begin the Rainbow Power line dotted with old releases, nor re-releasing part of a wave right after that wave has finished (Famous Friends is still shelf-warming, even when the sets are on sale it doesn't shift...)

No that's the right combination - http://cat352.wix.com/mlparena#!mini-figures/c93p - wave 5 is the Daring Set plus Pony Lesson and Grovin Hooves again!!!! Wave 6 will include the next 2 sets [plus one other repeat - I don't know who that will be yet though].

Fingers crossed for Royal Surprise or the Apple Family sets. The two that actually need a re-release...

Who wants to bet it'll be Famous Friends again? :lol:

Target had the flipping Dash, FS Fluttershy and Rarity, and the singing equestria girls. They have annoying voices and are awful singers. If you make a singing doll, record a voice that can actually sing I bought Pinkie, and the button for the voice is really sensitive, so I just ripped the batteries from her thighs (which were enormous because of it). Her hair is really curly, frizzy, and un-soft, and because of the speaker in her head she has no hair on the back of her head. It actually looks really kinda dumb with her mostly bald. But she has feet! :biggrin:

I think it will be the Daring Pony set so it will be all the Rainbow Power ones together. At least that would make sense tho Hasbro doesn't always do what makes sense.

LOL - thats the 2 which make most sense due to such limited releases. But Famous Friends seems to be their favourite thats for sure!

I seen basic Twilight and Pinkie Pie Equestria Girls figures in Walmart today (Eastern KY, USA) No sign of Rarity though, or any other basic.

Rainbow Power has hit Australia! Which is actually quite surprising, seeing as we haven't seen a few of the Crystal Princess Celebration sets yet. No AJ or FS Masquerade brushables, no second set of Crystal Motion ponies, no Bakery yet, and the Cars only popped up for an extremely short time in one store and I missed them. :huh: Hope we see a bit more of CPC before the full Rainbow attack.

Anyway, in KMart stores (three that I know of) there's been always been a section of the pony aisle with $9 regular brushables, and also priced at $9, the "Deluxe Winged MLP" which previously referred to the waves of glimmer wings ponies. Ploomette and friends have been populating the shelves up until this week, where my local has replaced them with the two Fantastic Flutter ponies. A lot of them had spotty, blurred paint jobs and I saw a few Cadences with bulges at the back of their necks reminiscent of the poor horrifying melty head Cadence. Looks like it might be a frequent problem with the new head mold for the Princess body type.

Perfect! Thank you for that :) I can get that changed as well. I much prefer when they do that rather than assortments - it means better availability and restocking will not be subject to re releases taking their time to clear off the shelves.
