This, but I really think the main aim for the line has become Bronies.
*snip*Quote from: majikarte on November 04, 2012, 06:43:27 AM people who want the mane six (though it's not like they're hard to find or anything) *snippy*^^ This made my day, particularly considering my last couple outings to TRU and WM, faced with walls of nothing but M6. Thank you! Edit to add: However, it occurs to me that if the powers that be over at Hasbro were truly catering more to Bronies than children/collectors, there'd probably be a big line of plushies out there by now, considering the interest and astronomical figures some of the custom plushies on eBay seem to command...

Even the one new brushable character we are waiting on is a repeat of a Glimmer Wing already released!

But they all have yarn hair and the only ones i've seen are Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash. They have really big heads though, thats why I haven't bought any
I DO wish there were more new ponies, but my wallet is happy that there are only 4 every so often! It's much easier to budget!
But notably missing, if there was a stronger focus on kowtowing to the brony market, are the other three of the Mane 6 (Fluttershy does have her legions of fans, and Rarity and Applejack have their devotees as well)...Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see pony merch of any stripe! I just kind of get the impression that Hasbro doesn't really know which way to turn with regards to their unforeseen success in new markets. In my humble opinion, they find themselves in the same spot as the miller and his son, in Aesop's fable. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_miller,_his_son_and_the_donkey if you aren't familiar with it.)
Frankly I love it that Hasbro is catering more to adult fans lately since I am an adult and not a kid and do not have kids. It's great they're recognizing that adults love My Little Pony too.
