SDCC exclusive - EXCLUSIVES ON HASBRO TOYSHOP

[Lorelei Redfern]

Persanally I hope it's something worth 50.00. But my expectations for he figure are low. Part of me is just like I hope it's not that good. And the other part hopes it's something awesome. At the very least I hope it is true main six.   Te only exception power ponys

I have no high hopes for Funko, unfortunetly. No interest in DJ or what is most likely RD. I don't like Pony exclusives, so I really would have preferred a new side character or something.

Nonetheless, has there been any hints aside the Celestia as to Hasbro's exclusive? Not really excited for that either.

Idk, I was hoping prototypes would've slipped out by now. This year's is $50 again, so using DJ as a measurement, it'll probably be something that would retail for $25, my guess, a Pony Pop Playset, a bottle of glue, and a bag of swarovski crystals, scotch taped together.

it did say  Figures so.. proably   a  non brushable funko  Rainbowdash (black) and a black  dj with    crystals. and a gimmicky light up box.

yeah i've ntoiced that we all have a lot of faith in hasbro.. but at least our expectations ar low so that when if it turns out ot be soemthing not worth it.. or     less then spectacular   we can handle it.  but there is a small   chance  that it might be something cool..

or as someone else pointed out.  the them seems to be rrainbow.. so..

proably   Rainbow    ponys?

I  will just make a point here for those of you who paid  out    for the exclusive and you didint   want them.  at the fair i'm sure there will be people  willing to buy them off you. i rememeber  when   Muffin pony was the exclusive people were begging people to sell them.  and soemone won 1 in the raffle and i think sold it 10 mintues later for   100.00  and    also  people   were running around telling sob storys begging  and pleading  for them proably so they could resell them. but the point is.. i'm sure you can   possibly   get your money back rather quickly.

Actually wizzer218 had won one of those at the raffle and since she already got one with her ticket package she did sell it right away to a teenager that was with her grandma who said they had missed out on getting one.. Wizzer sold it only for the $20 that it was originally sold for too
Anyway that girl was so happy about being able to get one

But maybe someone else might have won another one in the raffle too?

 I won two of the raffles that year I got the castle set that also had the singing cadence and the whole box of blind bags
That was really awesome!

I think a couple of neat exclusives options that would be about 50ish would be:

Fashion style sized Big Mac with Granny Smith and apple bloom

Or as someone suggested
The cutie mark crusaders set in fashion style size or even in that bigger jumbo zilla size which would make them like the size of regular FS ponies lol

First batch of Funko exclusives were just revealed, no ponies though. Their reveals happen every Monday and Wednesday till all is revealed.

I hope is the white Celestia FS

There is a post somewhere on a White FS Celestia that has music notes on her wings or at least on the wing that was could see.. I know the post was on Facebook but I don't know if it was here.. so either way we are supposed to get a white Celestia... I just hope she isn't the Fair/SDCC exclusive... I'm honestly tired of seeing Main 6 (or Basic 5) and the Princesses...

To be honest I hope it's something I don't want cause there will be no way for me to get one.

Last year's exclusive was a shelf warmer on Hasbro Toy Shop for quite a long time. Assuming they produce this years in the same kind of quantities, you should be able to get it if you want it. I think pretty much everyone who actually wanted one last year managed to pick her up.

From my POV, last year's SDCC was shelf-warming so long because people didn't care too much for it overall, not really because Hasbro had made enough to meet demand (if that made sense). Instead of trying to please everyone (MLP collectors, Bronies, ect) with the $50 DJ Pon-3, Hasbro had pleased no one (generally speaking).
SDCC Muffin was a huge hit because it was a $20-$30(? Cant quite remember her default price) brushable fashion size pony that also was a highly popular background pony (and people weren't expecting her to get an official toy product). And from my recollection, she was a real pain to try and get from Hasbro's store when they had her for sale.
SDCC DJ? She was a $50 "adult collectible/not a toy" molded-hair bedazzled pony that has a lit-up box. It didn't help that Funko's  cheaper DJ would be coming out a few months afterwards, so people weren't so "flipped out" over trying to get the SDCC one.

I do wonder if they'll make the same amount of this year's exclusive, consider what happened last year.

I agree that a large part of her shelf warming was down to her being so similar to a pending Funko release, over pricing for what she was [really some lights and crystals added $25 to her stock price?!] and just general lack of popularity. However this years release is again $50 and no doubt with the size of the fandom it will have been produced in significant numbers. So unless she/they are knock down amazing, I am sure they will be stocked. Unlike with some exclusives which were produced in very small numbers - the TF and Jem releases - Hasbro seems to focus more in turnover of MLP exclusives than them being very very exclusive items. I recall people mentioning there were a few left over from the Fair and she was no where near as hard to pick up at SDCC as Muffin had been the previous year. However prior to Muffins release, MLP's SDCC was usually the easiest Hasbro exclusive to grab and other than the first year normally hung out on HTS for a while after release.

I'm surprised it hasn't been revealed yet.  Whatever it is, I hope it has brushable hair. The molded hair bling-DJ from last year was a huge disappointment to me.  I didn't get her and I don't feel like I missed out on anything by not getting her.  I have the Funko one and she was cheaper and better-looking.

Still nothing out :/ I keep checking this thread hoping lol I'm fairly certain it'll be something to do with rainbows given how much Hasbro loves them ATM. I'm also putting my bets on it being an EqG doll as if it was a pony, i reckon it would have shown up on Taobao by now unless it's like DJ last year.

Another day nothing yet... My guess is still on power ponies set.

Nah. They don't HAVE to announce anything before these events, they are perfectly within their rights to have it be a surprise.
