New Hasbro blind bag figures? (Granny Smith, Gilda the Griffin, Wonderbolts)

[Evening_Moonstone]

They're probably using the mane 6 figures as the "hook" in case kids haven't seen the show, or don't have any of the blindbag figures.  After all, since the blind bag toys aren't "shown", it's quite possible that many kids don't have the main characters who want them...

I would love to see the CMCs in blind bag form, though!

Just found these on the MLP page on Facebook!

Awesome!!!! 



Ok so about the other figures that ebay seller has that we've not seen before though.

There is Waterfire & Kiwi Tart based off of G3 ponies
Do we know what the names of the other three could be? are they based off of G3s too?

Though for the kids that haven't seen the show it doesn't really matter which characters the packages contains since they don't have the same connection between the characters

The last one looks like Rainbowshine but with Snowcatchers cutie mark...

Except Rainbowshine has purple eyes and Snowcatcher's cutie mark is different colors... I thought she might be her own character because of that.

The blind bag characters are included for children who HAVE seen the show, silly people. Of course kids want all their favorite characters! And there's no garantee that they have the blind bag figures already, so it makes sense to include them in these sets. We would call a company silly if they said they were just putting out 'side characters' in play packs without including the main characters! Why would a kid want to play with Glinda without a Rainbow Dash to join in?

Yeah, all those blind bags are redone G3's... The green and purple is one of the Easter Ponies, and there's Cinnamon Breeze (the orange), except yeah the last one looks like a mistake....or a new chara,.


And does anyone else think it's a bit coincidental that Hasbro put out this 'press release' on their facebook page RIGHT after we have been talking in this thread here on the Arena, and the ebay auction has gone up? The timing seems too much of a coincidence to me...

My guess is someone at Hasbro is either monitoring ebay or the Arena or both and saw this and decided they better make an announcement before rumors get out of control lol.

I don't know why everything's not coming out until the fall... without new episodes I need my summer pony fix!!

Pretty cute. Too bad they're still few and far between in NE WI. I just finished finding all of wave 1!
 
ETA: Just looked over the blind bags on the reef and they sure are using a lot of G3 characters.

[bladed]

The last one reminds me of flurry,
3377345, I'm not sure. But she does look like flurry! Admit! It!

[StarSwirl05]

Guess they're real then. Wonder who else is in the set besides the Apple family?

[jwalraven]

Don't care if I get duplicates. Granny Smith, ftw!

[Eternia]
