Title: Changed my mind about not liking G4! Water ponies?!
Post by: PrincessNikki on February 19, 2018, 07:20:59 AM
So....I used to be a huuuuge collector of G4 in the beginning when the brushables were first being released. I had to get every pony as soon as they came out, I stalked the stores multiples times a week...But when my collector itch had waned (hasbro releasing the same mane 6 over and over and only releasing ponies in the same pink colors...ect) I gave them all to my best friend's kids.


Since returning to these forums after seeing the Bridge Direct g1s release, I had taken another look at G4s after swearing them off 5 years ago...I wanted to see what I had missed over the years and was prepared to be underwhelmed.
.....and I learned that they did something that I have always wanted hasbro to do .....MADE WATER PONIES!!

Ponies with water and glitter in them that you can shake?! YES!!!!!!!  :frolic:

I need to know more about them. Are they still available in stores?! Which ones did they release?

Most stores don't have the Water Cuties anymore since it's been a couple years since they came out (most recent were from 2015), but it may be worth checking places that are always slow when it comes to toys. My local Rite-Aid, for example, still carries the Water Cuties Flower Wishes (for $10 instead of $5 though, Rite-Aid overprices their toys).

Here are all of the Water Cuties ponies:

Here are all of them :) as for getting them, I would check discount shops, and eBay, as they should be up for sale secondhand by now, or maybe even new :) I have only seen flower wishes and applejack in stores recently however.

Came out several years ago. I have two of them, but Hasbro really botched the distribution.

 The only ones you'd still be able to find now are Applejack, occasionally Pinkie Pie and  Flower something at TrU. I can't remember her name, but her colors are reminiscent of Shady's.

You can get them on Amazon, but they're overpriced.

You will have a heckuva time trying to get your pony-loving mitts on the Princesses, Blossomforth and Lily Blossom.

I have Diamond Mint and I was lucky to get Princess Celestia in a trade. I desperately wanted Princess Luna and Blossomforth, but they were nowhere to be found.

The Water Cuties was what finally dragged me into G4.

I love these water globes so much. I have them ALL- I needed them in my life when I found they existed about a year ago.

Dare I say, though; I was disappointed that the new G4 Flip and Flow Seaponies (https://data.mlpmerch.com/brushables/set/my-little-pony-the-movie/flip-&-flow-seapony/) were a missed opportunity. I wish they had put the same cutiemark glitter in them that the Water Cuties did. I also doubt this line will extend outside of the Mane 6.

Excuse me while my inner 7-year-old whines in the corner...

Woulda been nice if they were full on translucent plastic. I do intend to get 2 for customs.

Shame I missed these on my collecting hiatus, because they're really stinkin' cute! Although the first thought that crossed my mind was "would they leak at some point?"

The sort of have new ones too, one of the sets released for the movie has something similar with the Sea Pony designs of Twilight, Pinkie, and Rainbow (Though they have normal heads), I also just checked the American Toys R Us website and they still have Applejack & Flower Wishes listed

Applejack and Flower Wishes have been permanent fixtures in UK stores for about the last three years I think xD. We ran out of our own distribution and now seem to have Canada's or something. Weird but anyway.

My sister began love for G4 with a water cutie Applejack and now she has a Flower Wishes too. I have Diamond Mint and Luna...also Blossomforth with the pretty glittery wings.

I think aside Twilight and \Cadence they're not too bad to find? Diamond Mint I've heard people say is harder to find now but I wonder if it's just because she's the original character of the set (Flower Wishes having had other releases) that makes her popular.

...that, too, yes. Yes. I get that they want to cut corners and whatnot, but you can't even turn their heads. In fact, I don't know if you can do customs with them easily without shattering them because of the head being fused to the body since that is where the water flows into to disappear.

At least the Water Cuties were made with translucent plastic throughout and you could remove their heads so you could attempt repairs without it showing on the outside.

The distribution on these was very strange. Where I am in Canada we never saw Applejack or Flower Wishes, but the 3 winged ones were here for years. I saw them a month ago at Superstore.

My workplace still has two Applejacks for full price ($7.99 USD).

I have Diamond Mint, Applejack and Luna Water Cuties. I never found Twilight or Cadance. I was dissapointed that the new Glitter Celebration ponies look like Water Cuties but they’re not.

I can solve that problem for you. We have Applejack and Flower Wishes here in boxes marked Hasbro Canada.
Yep. Go figure.

I got Blossomforth from a big hypermarket in Lisbon last summer. She was the only G4 pony I saw in the whole of Lisbon. I am sure that is an exaggeration but I didn't see any others. But I didn't have any version of Blossomforth, so I took her home with me xD.

But yeah, StrawberryScoops. The UK has your share of Flower Wishes and Applejacks.

I've sadly never seen any of them in stores here, so I had to buy my Diamond Mint secondhand off eBay. They are gorgeous ponies though! Super pretty and fun <3

Oh really? I found mine ages ago and I thought I saw them the other day at Superstore.

do you guys think it would be possible to take the watery wings off of the winged ones and glue them to the water cuties with the water bodies that way you could have a full-on watery body and winged pony?

Like...could you take the wings off of Lily Blossom and glue them onto a rarity? Pony fusion!

I don't think so. Those wings look pretty big and the fins on the Flip and Flows are translucent.
But you could certainly try it.

Post by: Taffeta on February 20, 2018, 09:44:42 AM
The only one of those I have is Blossomforth but she's not here with me right now so I'm not sure how the wings are fixed. I guess the risk would be somehow splitting the plastic when trying to remove them? I suggest thorough research before trying it out...also whether they'd look clunky by the time you'd got them fixed on? They are quite big...

In all fairness, they look too big and clunky for the Water Cuties too. Though I haven't seen them IP.

They are quite. I mean, I like Blossy's wings, but that's partly because she has a cute face that sort of asks why all the fuss...

But when I brought her back from my trip I wrapped her wings carefully as I didn't know if they'd break. She stands fine but she's heavier for them. I wonder if trying to transplant them might upset the centre of balance on the pony?

Could be. Has anyone actually seen a flip and flow in person? How big are they? I sort of thought they'd be as big as swimming pinkie, but I could be wrong.

Flip and Flows are just normal sized ponies, same size as the pearly Mane 6 seaponies.
