I went to Target for the first time since 2020 and all of the toys are totally sold out except MLP, which is completely stocked. I was thinking "well, at least ONE of these empty spots HAS to be MLP", but no... I checked the tags and they weren't. Nobody wants these toys. Walmart still has all of the Sunny plushes from last year, boxes and boxes of them, on the shelf. There's so many they had to put excess boxes on the top shelf. Not only that, if you look at Walmart, Amazon, etc toy catalogues for Christmas MLP gets a single dinky showing on a page showing off other more interesting toys. LOLs and Rainbow Highs get full pages, MLP gets a single little picture of Jazz Hooves alongside 20 other brands and that's it. 2022 in general has been terrible. What have we gotten this year? Jazz and MWM? That's it? And one more wave of identical looking poseable figures? Zero brushables aside from the styling size. They had a whole Christmas special and no.... Christmas toys? Even Best Gift Ever had some toy stuff, even if it sucked. We're in Year2 and we haven't gotten any like... birthday cakes or real party supplies. There have been some paper plates or whatever in some countries at most. Maybe Year3 we'll get something. Anything? Birthday cards? Stockings? Easter baskets? VALENTINES? Any sort of merchandise? Hello? Everything I see is still G4.We do have a few Christmas ornaments but to be honest everything from G5 is lackluster. They use the same models for everything. Even if it's third party, everything is identical. Even G4 was marginally more exciting because everyone had to make their own sculpts for the characters. Now they just use the same thing over... and over... and over... and over... and over... Like what's the problem? Is G5 actually doing bad? Does Hasbro not have faith?MLP's 40th is coming up. Just days away, even. Hasbro, pick up the pace! Have some passion! Show some respect! Though I expect all of that from Basic Fun instead...
Is it just me or does anyone else think it's weird we didn't see a rush of pony toys before the holiday shopping season? I wonder if G5 is doing well or not for Hasbro...
FWIW, they did recently license out LPS to the company that handles the retro G1 stuff, which I think bodes very greatly for that company and perhaps the environment of toy collecting, but may also show that Hasbro continues to look away from toys as their main moneymaker and rely more on media.
Does anyone know know of where I could possible purchase the iPhone 14 pro my little pony phone case?
Yuck. I got into pony because it was horsies not dolls. Wish they'd left this behind in G4.
