Don't remember seeing non-glittery Snipsy Snap yet.

ETA: User ryanchao805 on eBay has a bunch of w11ers right now: Sunny Rays, Rainbowshine, 'Raindrops', Diamond Mint, Green Jewel, and Flower Wishes, all without glitter. Maybe one or two others I didn't notice. I honestly don't remember at this point which of those have only been seen  with glitter, but there might be something new? Sunny Rays at least I don't remember having a good picture of before.

Not all the mane six made it in, and there were several we missed!

• Looks like glitter is a go.
• Gilda and Lotus Blossom are totally unexpected, and Mosely Orange is in after all.
  
• Guessing Sunshower Raindrops for that name.
  
• Strawberry Sunrise in the toyline, Sweetie Sunrise in the trading cards.
• "Rainbow Swoop." I don't know what that means but okay.

*sigh* Eight ponies identical to wave 8 plus glitter. Oh well, I can deal with it.

So there will be a Rainbow Dash after all... maybe? Brand new INVISIBLE RAINBOW DASH toy, exclusively from Hasbro!

Looking forward to some of these  eventually in opaque. I was really happy with the last rainbow wave.

Gilda

[Violet CLM]

Out of the twenty-four, Strawberry Sunrise, Sunshower (Raindrop)s, Rainbow Swoop, and Diamond Mint are the only four that haven't already been opaque, so you may not have too long to wait.

Well colour me bored

The "blind bags to satisfy the requirement for new characters" now no longer works as an argument. These sets are just repeat and release.

gilda again? she hogs enough space in my cabinet

There are some on ebay right now with cards.
We'll still have to confirm if they line up with the letter system in the same way they have before (which was 1=AA, 2=AB, 3=AC, etc.) but here are some of their #s from the cards:

1
2 Trixie Lulamoon
3
4
5 Green Jewel
6
7 Sunny Rays
8 Lotus Blossom
9 Ribbon Wishes
10 Snailsquirm
11
12 Princess Twilight Sparkle
13
14
15
16
17 Junebug
18
19 Sunshower Raindrops
20 Gilda the Griffon
21 Strawberry Sunrise
22 Sassaflash (and it is actually Sassaflash, not Lightning Dust )
23 Royal Riff
24 Lemon Hearts

There are more listed but I can't see the #'s in the photo
Rainbowshine has gotta be either 1,3,4 or 6

[Violet CLM]

Yeah, Sassaflash is on the front of the box. So strange! Pity we're not doing the thing again from wave 8 I think it was, where the order on the packaging is the same as the order of the bags.

This is how I imagine Hasbro execs are imagining the result of their marketing strategy...


Kid: Buy me these, mom!
Mom: *looks at the back of the blind bags* But sweetie, don't you have all of these?
Kid: No stupid, I have regular Rainbow Dash and neon Rainbow Dash and glitter Rainbow Dash but I don't have neon glitter Rainbow Dash! DUH. I need her!
Mom: Okay snookums, whatever makes you happy! <3 *takes entire box of bland bags to the cashier*

To be honest--and this could just be me here--before MLP, I never really actively bought blind bag or box items seriously, they were just something neat to grab one or two of, open (preferably with a friend), and see what I got. It was the surprise that was the exciting part, not the collecting part. Could Hasbro be thinking they're not gonna get many repeat buyers, so they may as well do the same characters over and over?

[Flitter]

Yeah, Sassaflash is on the front of the box.

I was kinda hoping she was mis-named since the one on display at toy fair was Lightning Dust even though the box said Sassaflash. 

Could Hasbro be thinking they're not gonna get many repeat buyers, so they may as well do the same characters over and over?

I'd assume yes, the same reason they go with Mane 6 + Princesses brushables over and over.

[Violet CLM]

I see them get bought in bulk for parties, presumably to give one to each guest or something similar.
