New Crystal empire set Finally we know where that Luna came from.

[hathorcat]

Why would Celestia be made in the Cadence mold? It wouldn't make sense, her body shape is totally different.

Because I like my ponies to be consistent...and I like the idea of it! Thats all...no other reasoning unfortunately ...to each their own I guess!

[Rion]

This is pretty awesome! I'm glad I can get a Cadance without having to buy the castle now, and Luna is gorgeous.

[banditpony]

WHOO! Now I don't feel bad about customizing the second Luna I have.

I am in /love/ with this new mold, with the long legs. love love love.

[ShortyBoo]

I need that set. I was going to buy the castle just for Cadence & Shining Armor, but it's a lot of money and if I get this set, I can just wait until someone has a Shining Armor they don't want. I'm not thrilled that Celestia is still pink (I thought they corrected that since Cadence is in the pink Unipeg role) but since I don't have a Celestia yet, I wouldn't mind having her. The real reason I want this set, though, is Luna. I need that Luna. I don't care if she's not blue like she's supposed to be, she's still pretty. I'll definitely paint both Luna's and Cadence's shoes, though. They look unfinished otherwise.

Celestia is still pink!

Hmmm... Celestia seems to be white on the back... ALMOST, HASBRO! WHY!?

As much as I like Luna, I won't be buying this set or any other that includes another pink Celestia. I can't afford to buy something the majority of which I don't even want. If she were white, though, I'd snap this set up asap.

Whoa, there is some weird molded shoe stuff going on in this set.  They finally painted Celestia's shoes yellow for this set, which is great!  But Cadence and Luna don't get painted shoes.  But Cadence gets painted shoes on the backcard.  I'm confused.

It also looks like they're sliding their dresses off, which is kind of unsettling.  And yes, I do realize that ponies are normally naked, but still.

[StarlightGaze]

I noticed Celestia doesn't have her neck clasp like the she does in the set with Twilight and Spike. I noticed they reused that G3 mermaid chest again too.

I noticed they reused that G3 mermaid chest again too.

I was wondering why there was a seashell on it...

Now this is exciting, thanks so much for sharing!  The princesses look so nice all packaged in a set together.  This is going to be an absolute must-have for me; I don't have any of these girls yet and I'm a sucker for glitter and... that Luna ahh <3 I guess that means I'll end up with Cadence doubles since I'm also planning on getting the wedding castle with her and Shining Armor, but that alicorn mold is just so dang pretty I'm okay with that. 

[BrightIdea]

Wowee!  I was really wondering what this set would look like and if it was worth it to buy any of the Princesses without the package.  I can't believe they just threw the tiny little dresses from the regular-sized ponies on them.  Their outfits do look silly, but I am just happy to see a brushable Luna that has a nice body, wings, and non angry/derp eyes.

[scarletjul]

I'm torn!  I like the set; I really want Luna and Cadence ( and the Celestial is fine.).  And I didn't really want the castle.  But I want Shining Armor.  And I don't want two Cadences.  Decisicions, decisions.

Awesome set, though.  I'm majorly excited for this line to show up. 

[xkelpiex]

Augh, I only want Luna! Gonna hafta get smeone to sell me one once this comes out *sigh*

^ That is the reason I have been holding out on getting a Luna... But I love this one's eyes!

I will take any Cadance off of your hands that you don't want [in the hypothetical future when you get more than you want ] I absolutely love that pony! I really don't think these two are the same molds, though. I think Castle-Cadance is larger than this one but I have nothing to back that up except for scale on this image and those from the toy fair.

I have the same problem. Only I also don't want the castle, so not only would I have an extra Cadence to find a new home for, I'd have the castle to get rid of as well. I may just wait until the castle goes on sale.

[JazzMatazz]

YES! Now I don't have to buy that wretched castle or the twilight sparkle/celestia set or buy Luna off ebay for my left arm or leg!

I am absolutely thrilled to the max right now!  Thank you so much for posting!

On a side note, I really REALLY like those yellow rose barrettes!

I second this! I really did not want to pay so much for just the princesses!
