I wish they came back. I loved the winter-themed ponies, and the valentine ponies too. They came with adorable pony wear too.

I think it could work. I would love to see that. But maybe not just lolita ponies, maybe just japanese street fashion in general. That would speak to a wider audience. And not all adult pony collecters are super crazy about pink, or the pastels that companies like Angelic Pretty work with. But Hasbro is never going to do that, since their ponies aren't really fashion dolls to begin with. So that would require a whole new series, or maybe a spinoff of Equestria Girls.

hmmm. I wouldn’t mind a J-street fashion pony Collab or whole spinoff line. Of course I think it would be better aimed at older folk and collectors.
I get that not everyone is a fan of pink and frills that one might assume is all to Lolita at first glance, but the fashion style comes in every color under the rainbow. There’s gothic Lolita, which offers a more dark color pallet, there’s mori which work with more muted, earthy tones. There’s Punk, Pirate, and Military Lolita and even guro Lolita that focuses on a Creepy horror aspect. So it’s definitely not kawaii pink glitter kawaii fluff.

Oh my, I love that idea! Guro lolita ponies for Halloween. A Mori pony with a cottage playset. Fairy Kei newborn baby ponies.... I see some opportunities here.

Yeah, that has happened to me before. Track & Trace said it was delivered, but I never got anything.

Also, I live in a flat with pretty small mail boxes. I can't tell you how many times I've walked downstairs just to see a package sticking out of my mailbox because it couldn't fit! Many times when I open it up, the product inside was broken or crumpled. Because of this, any time I order something online, I just opt for a pick-up point instead. Unfortunately I couldn't do that during lockdown, so guess who has a crumpled, brand-new paperback novel....

I think it depends on how the toyline and the show are going to be. Realistically, Hasbro already has the term "cutie mark" and they will probably continue with that.

But as we know, this reincarnation is going to be with an entirely new cast set in an entirely new world. So, maybe the writers of the show have their own ideas about what cutie marks/symbols can mean, and they might rename them. You can definitely do a lot more with them than Hasbro has been.

I love Trickles the most (surprise, surprise). She's lovely, and caring and a little mysterious. Confetti is pretty up there too though. But overall I think all the rainbow ponies look like a happy bunch. 

I used to collect only the vocaloid figurines when they came out, but I have done nothing with Funkos ever since. I gave the few I had away - I prefer collecting things with a bit more detail.
I thought they were pretty irrelevant by now, but now I have a new housemate that actually does collect Funkos, and pretty seriously too. I think she has over 150 in her room.

She explained to me that collecting Funkos is pretty big internationally for students, and that does make sense. A Funko pop is a lot less expensive than any kind of handcrafted thing, or very detailed anime figurine. They are also pretty accessible. Even in The Netherlands here, you can find them pretty much at any serious toy store. And even though I'm not too big on them, there are a few limited-edition Funkos that even I have to admit look pretty good. They don't have that dead-eye look that scares me that most Funkos have. I guess it all just comes down to taste and convenience.
