Firefly and Illustrated Book

[achab1984]

I sure hope that its not a bling bag pony size!

[Bibinettepony]

i keep fingers crossed it will be a mini firefly too and not dolly mix 

[moonflower]

All the people worrying about it being a dollymix - I highly doubt this would be the case. Dollymix ponies were made for a small, UK company (Teeny?) while these Fireflys (Fireflies?) are being made for Running Press which is a larger, US company.

I am not expecting the same quality standard as a G1 pony - especially as it is small - but I am hoping the it is a miniature replica of G1 Firefly with a miniature version of her brush (like the picture and description implies). The pony will probably be 2.5"-3" high.

Actually I'd be happy if it was a dolly mix, but I know it's not My worse fear is that it will be something like a blind bag pony but we will see

btw what are the different shipping dates for the different places that is selling this? I know Amazon's April 22

I'm 99% sure it will be G1 style - the artwork is G1 retro and it wouldn't make sense to release the figure in a different gen style. Plus she will have brushable hair so not like a blind bag.

The release date on Amazon UK is 8th May (atm).

Well, it cant be a BlingBag pony since it says "rooted hair". Unless they have found a way to root hair to blind bags I doubt it will be one
I think it will be a Dolly-mix pony. Licences can be sold and even if Dolly Mix ponys were originally only made by a small UK company the company who is releasing the book might have bought the licence for these particular ponies.
But... we will see... not very much longer, cant wait

I can not decide whether to be angry or delighted if it does turn out to be a mini G1 Firefly mould.

Hasbro couldnt manage ANYTHING for the 30th release but apparently it is financially worth while for a publishing company to buy units of a G1 inspired. I think I ll be so pleased at what it is but very annoyed with Hasbro

I just tell myself there's some suit in Hasbro who hates My Little Pony and gnashes their teeth at their inability to destroy the brand.

This.

If they came out with a line of ponies with brushable hair using miniature G1 molds, especially rereleases of the originals, I would be allll over that.  I'd be throwing serious money at Hasbro.  Right now their brushable line is uninspired at best.

[Bibinettepony]

just for info: Amazon FR informs availability for the 8 mai 2014.

This made me laugh so hard....   thank you  i think the same thing sometimes.  the mental image of that is hilarious

[Varkolak]

not sure if i can post the link to it or not, but on walmart.com they have a firefly with a book set for pre-order and it looks like the 80's version.

It seems to be for real! It's been on Amazon since September. Nobody knows what it will look like--the toy, at least, there are scans of the book buried in that thread somewhere--but it's only around a month out at this point, so it can't stay secret forever. There's been absolutely no sign of anything Firefly related from any of the usual Chinese sources.

[Lorelei Redfern]

its real!  the problem is the only picutre we have is  photoshopped.   nobody know what  she   will be.

[Shiromisa]

I'm waiting to see what the pony will actually look like before I order it. In preference order, from most to least:

1.) An actual miniaturized version of classic Firefly
2.) A blind bag (new releases are always good)
3.) A dollymix pony (still cool, but that's already a thing)
