THREE brushable-sized, winged Twilight Sparkles in the same wave... Seriously? I hope that ain't it for the toyfair... If so, it will be a cheap pony year for me.
I really feel as if Twilight's ascension will make or break G4. I am looking forward to seeing how it plays out...

It is going to be really sad if the only 'new' Crystal Empire character is an international exclusive bonus and a repeat... Albeit, I do like this version more than the glimmer wing. I hope we see something super fantastic at the toyfair in February!!

I think Hasbro does listen, but only if the masses throw money at them.
Honestly, I think the main issue is Hasbro screwed itself at the start of G4 and hasn't figured out how to correct the problem. The powers that be elected to view the toyline and FIM (the 30 minute commercial for the toyline) as separate entities. There was little to no effort put into making sure the show and toys were in sync. The Hasbro Rep at the fair was like, "Pinkie has an pet alligator? Sorry the toy designers don't watch the show." Awesome marketing! Go guys!
The brushables really do not look all that much like their show counter-parts who are sleek and animated. The basic toy molds are super static and do not leave much room for anything more dynamic than a lifted leg. Add some inaccurate colored-pinkified ponies, quality issues, constant repeats, and releases that take place 6 months after the commercial airs (Royal Wedding anyone?), and we have a problem. Until Hasbro addresses this issue, I think brushables will remain on the backburner as they are not going to appeal to fans of the "commercial."
Blind bags/molded sets, on the other hand, are becoming more and more show accurate. (compare blind bag Zecora to brushable Zecora). They also seem to be flying off the shelves.

I heard they were coming out on the funko forum I belong to as I collect PoPs. The MLP figures are actually not PoPs! but are made by Funko (who makes Wacky Wobblers, PoP!'s and vinyl figures).
Here's a link to an online store who sells Funko products....on this page, the MLP protos are available so far:

I love it when I actually have pictures to share. lol
Her hair is just in a ponytail... I'm not brave enough to cut it.
Did you use some kind of styling product on her hair? What did you do to fix it? Such a cute style!
Hi! I just used hot water from the faucet and two clear hair bands. One band is holding her hair in a ponytail. The other is around her ears holding her "bangs" down. You can kinda see it in the pic. As long as the hair isn't brushed while dry, it stays shiny and textured.

I used Buyfromtaoboa and received my Ditzy Doo last week!
This being said, it was a long drawn out process. I placed my order when the first batch of Ditzy Doos appeared several months ago. Buyfromtaoboa let me pay even though the item was sold out. I was waitlisted, but not informed until I asked. Apparently they had over a 100 orders.
After inquiring, I was given the option of a refund or continuing to wait. Since I had less than $10 invested, I chose option two.
About three weeks ago, they contacted me to let me know a MIB version was available with my name on it. I honestly had already written them off. I paid shipping, and 1.5 weeks later, I have my pony!
Based on my experience, I recommend them. Yes, Buyfromtaoboa has communication issues, but they followed through in the end. It’s hard to beat a $30 (including shipping) pre-release MIB Ditzy Doo.
Hope this helps!
