Question about the SDCC exclusive(s)? FiM Zecora At Comic Con

[xeevee]

argh, why am I not going to comic con this year.  I could have been but noooo.. I though staying in China for an extra month would be a better idea!! Stupid me!

I really hope her tru box is similar, as I really like her in that packaging!

[hathorcat]

She's $10 because she's made of a more expensive plastic, her tail takes more labour to make, and she has a lot more printing on her than the average pony. She's more expensive to make, ergo, more expensive to buy.

And her $9.99 price point isn't a rumor, it was told to us by the Hasbro rep at the 2012 Toy Fair.

You really cant trust everything you are told at a toy fair unfortunately! Its pre launch - things like price point will occasionally change As I mentioned that does mean that although I was told the box will remain pretty much the same, the price will be the same between CC and store release - I guess less elaborate packing is a possibility for a general release but with HB who knows and I hope not as I much like this grander box for her!

I wasn't questioning WHY she's $10, just stating that she's not worth it to me.

Also, Hathorcat, I was actually looking at the other eye to see if the outline was visible from that angle. Guess we'll find out soon enough though.

Lol...and I dont think this helps to clarify it any further...sorry...as you say wont be long until someone has her in person.

Wants! Hope TrU UK sells them as well as the US...

She's so cute! I think she's my must-have pony of the year, but I suppose I can wait until she's released in stores.

Even if Ditzy Doo does make it to the Hasbro Toy Shop, I doubt there will be many. They'll sell out super fast because she is very popular among Bronies.

Yeah, that's why I'm probably not getting one.
Which sucks, she's so cute.

OMG Zecora is so hot I think I'm going to BURN!!!!! For $10, I definitely WANT. Can't say no to glow in the dark.

[BrightIdea]

She is sooo cute!  I love the box, too. Wish I could go to the con!

[xXCosmicBurstXx]

She looks great. I can't wait to pick her up later this year.

[waterfire852]

So much want!

[StarDragon]

Can't wait for her to be in stores, she is awesome looking

Do we know if Ditzy Doo is going to have a regular size release at some point as well?  I've been out of the loop for a bit.     I'm excited that she'll be released at all, but I don't collect the fashion style size

I would say "probably not" at this stage. No other Comic Con or Fair pony has ever had a retail release in any way - she will probably be the same.

I totally wish I lived in San Diego.

Ditzy Doo is pretty special to the Brony community, as she's pretty much their mascot. This looks like this is the closet thing Hasbro can do without it being controversial, and I can imagine parents walking through the toy aisle will be turned off by her silly eyes. Still, Bronies have been pushing Hasbro more and more, so maybe a normal sized Pony will make it into a collector's set like Nightmare Moon and DJ Pon3 did.
