New 35th Anniversary Collector Ponies Spotted! Pics!

[tailrustedtealeaf]

One of the Targets in my area didn't have 'em, so I'll stop by the one closer to me on Sunday when it sounds like they officially release.

Ohhh... I'm all for TBD upping the quality. Sunset's comparisons to the 25th Anniversary ponies makes the new ones look so much better than the previous release. Colors look accurate and more pleasant. Eyes look sweeter.

So they released them as flat foots, then concave, then MO, then 25th anniversay set, and now these.
I have them all but I totally need these too lol. It's like this clip from the simpsons

I was thinking about this scene the other day.

I finished my video review for those interested.

I only bought Minty to unbox, however later in the video I use the pictures I took in store to compare and contrast with the earlier releases.

Excellent review as always.  And I do share your disappointment on the set choice.

My Target has them in the back but wasnt allowed to put them out and sell them to me yet. Which is frustrating considering how many other Targets have them available and I dont live near any others

Super review!

it all depends on management.  I managed to go to a Target that was setting up the endcap early.  I was able to locate the DCPI online and the associate asked her manager if she could sell me a set early.  I just about died in the store of excitement

If anyone needs it, the DCPI is 086-00-2831, My Little Pony Animal is what the tags are going to say.  xD

That sucks! It could explain why they're not on the website?

Thanks for the info! When I got to target next I will be on the lookout. And My Little Pony Animal is hilarious

OMG Squeeee!! I must have all of these!  Especially Snuzzle for my Peachy & Snuzzle army that I am slowly building.  But really all of them.  I didn't buy the 25th anniversary ones because they didn't appeal to me at the time, but lately I have been kicking myself about that, especially when looking on eBay for them and seeing the prices.  But seeing the pics of these and hearing about how much better they are makes me really excited to get them.    Ohh I really hope they make more ponies too!  Let's hope these sell well so they have incentive to release more.  I too would love to see Firefly and Applejack and Twilight and any other ponies re-released like this!

I get annoyed whenever Hasbro make out like 1983 is the anniversary year. It isn't. I don't care what the technicalities might be about store shelves and whatever, the designs and the moulds are 1982. Besides, MLP came to the UK in 1983 and we were a year behind the US, where they began. I know people have different views on it, but I find it annoying.

This is my one big complaint about them.  Whatever anyone else thinks, to me MLP's birthday will always be 1982.  Although I admit I do have self-centered reasons for this.  I'd love to see my birth year on the boxes.  Hehehe!

I’m sorry. When the pearly G4 seaponies came out I found 3 at Toys R US and picked 2 to buy. When I got up to the register the employee told me the toys were street dated and he wasn’t allowed to sell me the seaponies. He told me to come back on the street date.

Thanks everyone who liked the review.   I stayed up way to late working on it but I wanted to get it out asap.  And I still managed to forget to do some stuff like show the hoof markings.

Yeah... I drove 40mins needing nothing else at Target. I supposed thats what I get for not literally calling them to check. Oh well. I'll try again next week!

Yeah, I suppose I'd been even more frustrated had I made it all the way to the register with them in hand! Glad to know Im not the only one these things happen to

[applejackbunny]

If they appear here in the UK I will definitely be trying to get them. I have most of the 25th anni repros but don't like their hard plastic, off colours and the fact that none of them stand up! 

So...these look to be much better quality and a more accurate copy of the originals so it'd be nice to have a second bite of the apple
