LaW - Love those shorts!! I LOVE seeing more obscure characters on merch <3 Nice overall, but it's bit of a pet peeve of mine when an image hasn't been completely cleaned up. The fill between the forelock and the forehead is all I see once I noticed it 
But yes this drives me crazy too, I'm so glad it's not just me!! Edit: Went to 5 Below and found the pony head thing but also found on the wall where the graphic t-shirts are located, an image of Firefly with the text "To the Moon"... Could not find the shirt and the lady that was assisting at self-check (technically she was using the self-check as a normal checkout lol) said she hadn't seen that shirt for a few weeks. I'll get an image up of the graphic if no one else does soon
Was it this shirt or have they got new ones in? :o visitors can't see pics , please register or login(Sorry for the clutter haha, this is my Five Below haul from last July and the only pic I have of that shirt  ) And OMG the sideview of the styling ponies    Don't think they're for me but I love seeing more pics of them. Who made them, are they Hasbro, Basic Fun or someone else? (sorry if this was already answered! I can't remember if it was or not x_x)

I think the Furbobs count. I want them too!
I'd love toys of the cartoon characters like Knight Shade, the witches, Tirac, the bees (I would kill for a Sting toy!), etc. Definitely a missed opportunity there.

Oooh, I'm not usually a Lagoona person, but that one's really nice! She has such a sweet face.

were the HMV clothes TruffleShuffle? I've seen those in HMVs before. Super nice but a bit too pricy for me I think most GAME stores are merging with Sports Directs, that's what's happened with all the ones near me... unfortunately  since I haaaaate Sports Direct.

WingedDragon, I think you're right  It really does seem like instead of wondering WHY the first few toys didn't sell, they just went "Oh well, we'll just pull out the old stand-bys, people always want Minty"... like, just assuming cuz Minty's popular that people will just mindlessly buy her up... stuff like that. (alright, to be fair, when I saw that set I DID think "Okay, I might be tempted by this one if it turns up over here", but... xD still!!!) I wish they'd try more G5 characters instead of redoing the "G4 model" as Snapdragon said... I mean, I don't like G5 much. I don't like the style. But I felt that way about G4 for AGES too and then eventually it grew on me! So maybe G5 could grow on me too if they'd only give it a chance. Because my other main problems with G5 are a) ENDLESS SUNNY and b) poor distribution/same few things everywhere. Maybe if we had less Sunny (and... Izzy? Izzy's the purple unicorn right?) and more of a variety of characters then I might be more interested in it.. Gah, I dunno. I'm rambling, sorry.

Tbh I'd prefer Lady Lessons over Miss Hackney. I haven't really read anything w/ LL or seen that much of Tales so I don't have any "personal" stake in it... I just think Lady Lessons is cuter :B
Kitcatepic I know exactly what you mean!! Even though I'm not a huge G4 fan, and I'm as sick of the main 6 as anyone, their colours were so pretty together, both as a group and like, how their colours coordinated individually, if that makes sense? I'm not sure how to phrase it either but I definitely agree with you that G5's palette seems less.... something.

The overseas distribution of G3 really is weird It takes so long for anything new to turn up over here that it's basically killed my interest in the line. I mean, I still love it and there's G3 dolls I'd love to get, but when I don't know when or even IF they'll turn up over here, it's hard to keep up the enthusiasm... especially since shipping from the US is even more expensive now than it was back in the G1 days, so that's not really an option now either :/ The Creature is cool! She's not one I'd be interested in getting personally, but I like her.

The new LPS are definitely wider spread than the BF ponies. I've always had a hard time finding the ponies, but the LPS I've found tons of stock of in every toy/"nerdy" shop I've been into in the past few months. I know the BF line won't last forever... but I hope it lasts at least a little bit longer

Even G1's Tales didn't have every character made. The most common G1 Customs are of Teddy, Lancer, Ace, & Miss Hackney, so what does that tell you???
YES!!!! I can't believe this has never been rectified!!!

UK fans - I found the Medley plushie at GAME yesterday!! I dug through the plushie bin for a bit trying to find the other two but couldn't see them - I was rushing though (and they just had a big bin of plushies, it was difficult to pick through them without risking knocking them out onto the floor ) so it's possible they had them at the bottom of the bin or something. (even if this particular shop didn't have them, others might) Soooo excited to see these!! I think they're even cuter than the first wave... was hard to leave Medley there but I'm saving up atm so couldn't justify her... but I have a feeling at least one of them will be coming home with me eventually  DreamvalleyMLP - I don't mind you posting that here ^^ Thanks for sharing... that's.... really strange o.O Even if there's no new news for the Hasbro MLP line (which wouldn't surprise me) you'd think they'd at least have something to say about the BF ponies?? How worrying (But it is nice to hear that the BF LPS are doing well) The "games, IP and toy company" thing is REALLY interesting, I think that about confirms what we've suspected/speculated for a while, that Hasbro really are focusing more on licensing their toys out to other companies instead of producing them themselves. Man... I don't even know how to feel about that.

listening to the audition reel and omg I can't get over "Bushywushies", that's such a cute mispronunciation ;A;
That Tirac line still fascinates me though. I think it's probably better that they didn't use it (it'd be too confusing out of context) but I just love that at some point they did consider calling back to RaMC.
That Danny dialogue like "did you ever oonsider making a record?" etc, that wasn't in the final film right? I don't remember it - I wonder what the context is. sounds like he's talking to some goons or something?
Also wow I'm glad they went with Russi for Rosedust/Morning Glory. She had the real knack of doing soft, cutesy voices without them being too cloying/obnoxious. Gah, I miss her ;_; The soft way she asks the director to go through it with her, omg. Interesting how her "take 4" voice for Rosedust is basically Morning Glory, I wonder when they switched the two's voices around. (edit: woop I posted while still listening, I hadn't gotten to the point where they outright said "we could use these for Morning Glory or Rosedust" yet. Fascinating :O )
Thanks again for sharing these! It's such a treat to get to hear this part of the process.
