So I follow this account on Instagram

They have posted two pictures of the second set of ponies so far. I asked if there was anything else displayed for after that wave . Their reply was “yes, but top secret still 😉”
So I’m excited that we might still have something more to see yet.
Also here they state that 4 are coming soon but the two shown will be later in the year. So they might not be coming in full waves of 6?

I don’t think that is the full Basic Fun display. That looks like the display Hasbro usually does of the various licensed products.

So we might see more pictures later. Neat.
Anyone able to figure out what that small pony is between the pile of Mane 6 and the Gigantor Pinkie? I tried to zoom in and it got really blurry but it almost looks like a mermaid pony with a cloud around it's middle.
They look like bath toys to me. The cloud is to make them float the right way in the water. Like the baby seapony floats.
You know what I find really odd? The giant silver G3 statue. Just seems odd that they wouldn’t have a g4 version. I could even see a G1 because of the popularity of the retro ponies.

Just out of curiousness... what Minty is everyone talking about? The Mash'ems one or just simply one I fail to see XD?It's on the first page, in the 10 pony set.

I thought the same thing. It's gotta be an old statue, right? Does anyone recognize it?
I saw photos of the next wave of Basic Fun Retro G1's on instagram at the toy fair (set with Bubbles, Seashell, Applejack, & Bowtie) and saw someone teasing in the comments thats there's other ponys we can't see pictures of! New ones! Apparently they can't be shown to the public because they need to be sure there's interest from corporations first. I'm hoping it's not a joke and we'll be at least hearing about it if we don't see pictures!
Not ponies but another blast from the past. Pound Puppies!

Yes, bizzaro_toys on Instagram posted they have seen the next wave. They also just replied to a comment that they promised not to tell but that it isn’t hard to figure out based on the order of progression.
To me that indicates the second set of Uni/Pegs since we have already had Rainbows set two and earth ponies set two. And most of the molds where already made for the second set of Rainbows.

But I suppose it could be any of the ponies released in year 2 or 3.
It comes to something when the thing that people are getting excited about for G4 are still ponies that have been released before, but either not so much in a particular colour or not so much compared to M6. Real excitement would be something new, but no. In G4, real excitement is a properly coloured Luna and a second version of Minty ;) (In case it isn't clear, it's Hasbro I'm criticising, not the fans waiting for these releases).
I agree with the probables for a next release. I feel like almost all the gaps in my childhood have been filled by Basic Fun so far. Just the 2nd wave of unicorn and pegasus ponies and the baby unicorn and pegasus ponies really left among the ponies written about here but not sold. If we get those I don't need to get to year 5. I love a lot of ponies the US had that we didn't, but the ones I want to see as retros are the ones that were in the stories I read as a kid, but not in the stores to buy. Thus far they're meeting that expectation. So long as Brexit doesn't get in the way.
I would like a Powder and a a Sparkler <3. That would probably make me content.
And if the Groom & Style set happens, I won't turn down another Cherries J.

If they came as blanks like that I'd love it because then I could paint them to be what I wanted from the get-go instead of having to customize them after the fact.

What is this world's smallest MLP retro ponies about? I see it on instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_RPacgfQj/
I'm bummed because I won't buy the first 6 ponies...

Is that supposed to be Brush Me Beautiful Boutique on the far right of the flutter photo? It's obviously the pretty parlor but it looks pinkish?
I notice Morning Glory, Rosedust and Lily are missing from the group.
What Kidrobot vinyls?
I’ve been keeping mine all MIB since I have them loose, the packaging is pretty to display!
I’m gonna have to open those flutters though.... I NEED to press that clam shell button to make those delicate gossamer wings flap again!! Maybe this time they won’t break after a trip around the living room like they did so many years ago on Christmas morning.

This! I'm going to have to buy at least two sets of those. I've been keeping mind MIB but I love the idea of having real winged Flutters.
I should have told them to just sell the wings... I would buy a whole pack of just wings for my ponies XD

Just in case people missed out on this: license pending - FLUTTER PONIES!!!!! Buying multiples simply for the wings alone is worth it! lol Now I want Wingers too. Yes, those flutter wings YESS!!!

So if they are kinda going in order- (I say kinda as they apparently are going to skip sea ponies)
what will be next?
Baby Ponies and Megan and Sundance came next right? (in terms of big popular nostalgia items)
I am excited for baby ponies but don't care too much about Megan and Sundance, I always thought the dolls looked a little odd, lol
I found a video showing off Hasbro’s mlp booth.

I had TAF Megan & Sundance but I never got Molly and Baby Sundance and I would jump at the chance to have an affordable set.
I love Baby Glory and Baby Lickety Split (my first 2 babies) enough that I would buy repros.

I can see M&S happening, but I probably wouldn't buy them. I don't really like Megan, Sundance is common enough here to have a small army if you let your guard down...and well, Megan'll probably be wearing the Dressed like a Dream US dress...which is fine and all, but doesn't have any nostalgia for me. I avoided M&S when they were out as a kid, so I wouldn't buy them as retros. Also, with the tendency to use SS moulds for the pets so far, I rather dread what Megan would look like. The only way I would be induced to buy it is probably if it came with additional outfits...that fit the original dolls.

Well, you know. Overheads and all. These are hard economic times. ;) Especially when you haven't had a proper publicity profile in three decades or so...

looks like they did mold swaps for the winged ponies and a new-ish pose for earth/unicorn?

But that Rainbow Dash has incorrect wings, those are from Twilight, are bigger princess wings, do anyone at Hasbro cares about continuity and character designs?
those flutter wings look as tough as nails and built to last :lol: bridge direct sure are listening aren't they.
those flutter wings look as tough as nails and built to last :lol: bridge direct sure are listening aren't they.
But that's the problem as well. Flutters are a risky choice of retro because getting the wings so they don't break but don't disappoint is going to be a challenge.
I am also concerned about whether they will have the right sparkle. There is an irridescence to the original wings which, as I mentioned before, is easily dulled by layers of dust, discolouration...and perhaps overly thick reproduction :/ While I absolutely accept the flutters could not be rereleased with wings as flimsy as those we grew up with, I would still rather they didn't make the set than compromised on the delicacy and beauty of the set's main feature.
How you do that I don't know, I'm not the manufacturer. I just think it's a gamble.
I can see why they'd skip sea ponies in favor of flutter ponies- maybe they didn't have as wide of appeal or there were issues with packaging or cost of production (like the shells?)
I'm sure that is why they are skipping the larger play sets, they probably decided it was unlikely stores would pick up something so large solely for nostalgia
I do hope they jump to baby ponies next!
do you think there is a possibility lemon drop might be a test run too so may not make it into production?
I would love to see them do sprinkles and go by the box prototype so she will be blue with blue hair :D
and if they don't do the big playsets they could do a box set of playset ponies like lemon drop, majesty, sprinkles etc..
Also, the thought of mint twinkle eye ponies with unscratched eyes *drools*Yesss. I want a Sweet Stuff re-release so bad :lovey:

I agree on the confetti bombs...I don’t like them either. I try to open them over a plastic shopping bag.
I wish the Flutter Ponies included Rosedust. I know she wasn’t along until year 4 of the Flutter Ponies, but I had a canteen with Rosedust but never had her as a pony.

I feel you Nessa, I looked at eBay and there was one Rosedust canteen and they wanted $50 for it. :( pretty sure mine got donated a long time ago.

Sweet Stuff, Gingerbread, Locket and Quackers. :frolic:
I feel you Nessa, I looked at eBay and there was one Rosedust canteen and they wanted $50 for it. :( pretty sure mine got donated a long time ago.I saw both for sale on eBay a couple years ago together for like $35 but I kept hemming and hawing about paying that much and then they were gone. Really regret that now.
I am enjoying all these retro re-releases, but....
QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY!!!
I've passed up so many of the ones out now because the color is off, the paint is bad, the hair looks awful...it goes on and on. I shutter to think that atrocities will happen with the flutters, if they do make them...
Does the plastic of the flutter wings seem to be plain translucent instead of the borealis finish the originals had? I'm not worried if the wings are the same breakable material as the originals since these ones would be for collecting rather than me playing with them, their wings will be very safe.They do seem to be translucent but I'm fine with that as I would rather not have the wings break in a move or accidental fall. They may not be the final product either.
IIRC Basic Fun said the current wings are prototypes and they hope to have the pearly finish if they do them "for real."
