I was able to score a full set today:D I opened Minty. They are a million times nicer than the 25th ones! The hair in the tails are nice and thick. It's not G1 hair, it feels different but not in a bad way. I'm going to see if hot water will tame her mane. They are not perfect but overall very happy with them. Some things I noticed:*Eyes are too big for the eye sockets. Some overflow from the indented spaces for them.Quote*plastic is smooth. Not like G1 or G3. It's harder not real squishy. Thanks, they do seem much nicer than I expected.They eye socket thing is interesting. Do you mean they painted outside the lines so to speak? I remember the 25th anniversary ponies had eyes that were too small. That was one of the complaints people had about them. Some people even tried to repaint the eyes making them more like the original. I wonder if Hasbro made the molds for these 35th anniversary ponies too a long time ago and held on to them and now when they release them they decided to paint the eyes bigger after all.The plastic, do you mean it's hard as in hard plastic (ish) or hard as in how some G1s can get rock hard with time?

I hope the one set per store rumor isn't true. I'm not going to be able to buy a full set at once. Ponyfan
I'm guessing they will be like the re-released "classic" Strawberry Shortcake dolls, a bit scarce at first and then plenty, and then disappear.I would keep an eye on ToysRUs as well because the SSC toys appeared there for a while too. BridgeDirect (the company making the classic ponies) is the same company that made the classic SSC and Ragedy Anne/Andy (and other) toys so I expect they will follow the same trajectory...They actually did a great job with the SSC except they cheaped out just a bit on the outfits...

Quote from: Leave a Whisper on January 04, 2018, 08:49:36 PMSunset, your saying that these 6 ponies aren't meant to grab 80s kids, who are adults with disposable income first and foremost? That's like saying the Integrity Dolls aren't meant to grab JatH fans. Or retro Strawberry Shortcake dolls aren't for original SSC fans. These are meant to grab Collecters first. Kids will also be interested in them. No, I absolutely never said that. I don't know how to be more clear. I said it was to grab parents or really any adult in the toy isle who had ponies as a kid. Isn't that understood to be mostly 80's kids? I said that it didn't have to be *these* ponies. I said that the average person who *did* have ponies as a child doesn't always remember specifics about the particular ponies they had. And even if they do, how much more likely it was Bow tie or Quackers or any one of the other 300 plus characters that where available?Also, blaming Hasbro for the distribution of these is like blaming Hasbro for Build A Bear's or Loyal Subject's distribution. Hasbro has nothing to do with the distribution of licensed items.

So they released them as flat foots, then concave, then MO, then 25th anniversay set, and now these.I have them all but I totally need these too lol. It's like this clip from the simpsonshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaOgZwk9rN8
