An article about Brushable/BB codes

Hello everyone

My BF and I are atm hosting a blog about MLP merch and we just posted an article about the meaning of the codes on the different MLP Toys,

Just wanted to share this piece with all you guys

Thats very cool to see it put in blog like that.

I remember when we first found this information out on the Arena all those years ago It was awesome. It actually sources from GI Joe collectors. Who first knew about it as they have similar stamps on them.

Neat! Now we know!

One of my ponies does not have a code, it says C-029A. What does that mean?

@ZapAppleMedia C-029A is the common code to identify MLP products, (almost) all products have that hard-printed on them, usually included in the mold. If you look closely, most of your ponies should have C-029A printed on them somewhere. It could be that other Hasbro products (like GI Joe) have the same code, but I don't have any other Hasbro items myself.
The pony you have probably lacks a normal code because of one of the reasons described in the article:

- The figure is a factory reject before the code printing process took place (mostly on eBay figures)
- Figures in some series or some countries don't recieve codes
- The figure is a factory error

I hope that helped

Can we complete # codes list together? I guess, it would be interesting.

On this topic, I was looking at my nearby Fluttershy FS rainbow/ribbon hair pony and yep, that C-029A code is there. Then I looked at my Rainbow Power Rarity brushable that came with the EG doll and she has c-031G on her, and sure enough so does her doll counter part. I haven't got any other EG dolls open so I check, but I presume (for no reason other than I can )  that the code for them all is this latter one. Plus I had a G3.5 Sweetie Belle by the bed and she has the code C-029A

So I reckon this is all indicating that other/varying Hasbro products may use differing hard codes on their moulds.
