Title: New Wave of Blind Bags in Yellow!
Post by: Flickerswift on March 12, 2012, 05:30:13 PM
Check out EquestriaDaily for pics!
Link removed as per arena rules~partypony566 :)


I don't know where they got the images or anything, or If I can re post them here without getting in trouble, but... ALICORNS!

I am very excited for this wave! I'm betting they'll be out in August in the US with the other Royal Wedding sets? US will probably ignore the EU waves because it's weird that way...

Also, why is Blind Bag Celestia more accurate than her larger versions? And if they put all that effort into boy ponies and alicorn molds, why haven't they made a Fluttershy mold yet? *sigh* Ah well... Win some, lose some.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee thank you so much for the info!  I'm still looking for regular BB's around here.  I'm wondering if these new girlies will be out in stores around the same time Princess Cadence will be.  Now I have more goodies to be on the hunt for:)

But ALL yellow Fluttershy..? :S

YAY!!!! I'm so excited!!! White Celestia!!! 8D


Edit; "Also, why is Blind Bag Celestia more accurate than her larger versions?"
There's a new talking Celestia who is white.

Is this wave 5?

Anyway, this is cool! A third of those I won't need because I got the mane 6 or a couple from the Toys R Us set. Time to be looking on Taobao and ebay for these.

*excited*

Maybe the all yellow Fluttershy is glow-in-the-dark?

Dang!  I thought I was done with blind bags (I have wave 1-3).  Aw man, now I have to save up money to buy these. But they are so cute!  I have to wave 5 now!

Wow, so Lyra's name is now canon? 0.o That's pretty cool actually XD

Ughhh now I really wish there was somewhere around here to buy blind bags D|

There are an awful lot of pink ponies in those new blind bags:/

And it has to be said I am not a fan of that Alicorn sculpt - could the head get any smaller!?!? I think it's a real shame because Cadence is beautiful as an illustration and as the regular brushable size pony. 
Title: Re: New Wave of Blind Bags in Yellow!
Post by: teresat on March 12, 2012, 05:48:27 PM
I love them!

Oh great, another set to chase after.
Title: Re: New Wave of Blind Bags in Yellow!
Post by: Flitter on March 12, 2012, 05:49:36 PM
 :shocked: Oh my gosh Luna and Celestia and Cadence!
I wonder if Fluttershy is meant to have a yellow mane to fit the yellow theme or not.
Interesting that they include Gardenia Glow and Skywishes who were supposed to be TRU Exclusives.
That sparkly green stallion inn't this wave. hm... I wonder where he is from?
and Lyra Heartstrings huh? they re-release her? Her hair looks different though. And Trixie Lula Moon instead of just Lula Moon like the glitter version.

Need need need. I love seeing new characters and BB versions of the brushables  ^.^
I hope more waves hit the US soon. What's this Wave 5, I'm still waiting on Wave 2.

I know tons of people are happy they make Celestia toys white now but it seems weird all my Celestia toys are pink. They are gonna be inconsistent now  :huh: It'll be like having a different pony.

There is a lot of awesome in this blind bag series.
- Lyra Heartstrings / Trixie Lulamoon : Making both the fanon and toy fans happy.
- Princess ponies!
- G3 characters!
- Background characters!
- New characters!

This mix is pretty perfect. Though yeah, they need a fluttershy mold.

Ooooh the princess molds are cool! The rest of the set I could take or leave really a little blind bag overloaded right now xD

Ooh, I'm really liking these! So much unicorns! Some of them have eyeshadow which makes me think of new regular sized single ponies with eyes like Dewdropp Dazzle and Blossomforth. Luna! :lovey:


And I think too that Fluttershy is glow in the dark. There should be Applejack and Rainbow Dash too as the others have already been released.
Title: Re: New Wave of Blind Bags in Yellow!
Post by: OctoberFlash on March 12, 2012, 06:07:30 PM
I really like them! :D

The way they combined Trixie and Lulamoon into Trixie Lulamoon and Lyra and Heartstrings into Lyra Heartstrings was awesome. I've always thought of her as a Lyra Heartstrings, so it's really cool. c:

While I like some of the designs, I'm not sure I like the re-used g3 names. :/ We'll see though. Luna looks cool!

I do really like Forsythia and Rainbow Wishes.

I freaked when I saw Trixie and Lyra having their fanon names (well, Trixie may as well be canon because of the show).  I also love that they brought back Breezie.  She's one of my favorite G3s.  :heart:

Yaay more blind bags! Always happy to hear about that. :biggrin:

I'm getting worried though, since Wave 1 is JUST hitting the US, and unless I'm mistaken wave 3 is in the UK? What happened to Wave 2? I still need all those :( I really hope they appear in US stores in order.

I am excited to see more blindbags. :) Although I hope to see the rest of mane 6 in glow in the dark. .... so I want to see more in the future!


I am sort of sad not to see Pinkie Pie's mold. It's my favorite one to collect.


TT__TT; I hope I can one day find Princess Luna.

Considering the glittery wave of ponies (the so called "wave 4") hasn't appeared anywhere yet and these seem to contain "solid colored that might glow in the dark" ponies just like wave 3, I'm going to theorize that these are in fact wave 4 and the ones we have been referring to as wave 4 are actually wave 5.

They have appeared... wave 4 is blue bags.

(and some have been found from taobao)


edit: I am getting confused. This bonus in this wave are the princesses. So which ones seem to have "solid color that might glow in the dark".

Look at all of those G3s :'D
I'm so excited  :frolic:


But wave 2, 3 and 4 had better release in the US....  :enraged:
Ploomette's colors are awkward... but maybe that's a prototype, like awkward Fluttershy  :devious:

Hmm, there was a bright neon green boy pony on taobao, I thought for sure he'd show up in this wave... maybe just a prototype?

Wow. Definitely exciting. Haha, the name Lyra Heartstrings is actually cannon now  :ohyeah:
Interesting that some of the TRU exclusives are in this set. Saves me $$ since I won't have to shell out money for them XD

Hasbro really wants to relieve me of all my money... ^^;

Definately this... :lol: I'm slightly annoyed that Sky Wishes and Gardenia Glow are in there... they are supposed to be TRU exclusive ponies... >.<

But still... two blindbags I won't have to purchase! :happy:
 
And what the heck is up with Ploomette's tail??? Poor thing... she looks confused...  :lookround:  I also wonder if this means we'll see her as a G4 Pegasus at some point...

Overall... they're exciting!!! :frolic:  Shrinky Celestias!!! WOOT!
Title: Re: New Wave of Blind Bags in Yellow!
Post by: Tropical_Sunset on March 12, 2012, 08:21:45 PM
Ooh, I really love the Luna, and that Celestia is white, now that Cadence absorbed all of her pinkness.  But still...a whole new mold for winged unicorns? There are only three characters that would fit that mold. 
Not that it matters I guess.  Look at Sapphire Shores, being a friggen unicorn.


Title: Re: New Wave of Blind Bags in Yellow!
Post by: PinkRosedust on March 12, 2012, 08:30:56 PM
NOOOO not more! This is nuts! And they need some new poses, methinks.

Why did they add the Lyra to Heartstrings? There was completely no need for that. Her name was fine...That's just...I don't like that. Trixie is fine because she's actually cannon (even though her character was completely unlikable and irritating...she was still pretty!)

I don't totally care for Luna being in the same pose as Celestia. It just ain't right...

It's kinda fun to see a lot of G3 ponies returning again. Though I'm disappointed that the name Forsythia is being used on yet another light blue body with yellow hair. It's a pretty combo but I really wish they would have reused her old unique body color. Plus we already have Lily Blossom and Ditzy Doo (even if only in the show and those taobao finds).

Also I never did care for Flippity Flop...ponies can't wear flip flops! =P I hope Ribbon Wishes is brought out as a brushable some day. I loved her colors in G3 but didn't like her pose.
Title: Re: New Wave of Blind Bags in Yellow!

Oh geez, I want them all! I hope Hasbro continues to sell entire cases of them for schlubs like me.

On the box art, she is a pegsus (a recolor of Fluttershy). That always confused me, until I just saw her blind bag. I guess Hasbro assumes the Glitter Wings are just a short- term magic spell or something? lol Would explain Rarity and RD.

They have appeared... wave 4 is blue bags.

(and some have been found from taobao)

But those have still not popped up in stores. Unfortunately being on Taobao doesn't mean anything and anyways it is entirely possible that a wave of them didn't make it on to Taobao and that it is what we are seeing here.

I am getting confused. This bonus in this wave are the princesses. So which ones seem to have "solid color that might glow in the dark".

Just Fluttershy so far. At least I hope that is the case and it isn't some kind of Hasbro derp.

Post by: saply on March 12, 2012, 09:16:36 PM
Well, Wave "4" (blue bags) seems to be made entirely of glittery and metallic ponies, so I theorize it's either a special edition thingy like the TRU set or actually Wave 5 (which would make sense; why release Glitter Trixie before regular Trixie?)
Title: Re: New Wave of Blind Bags in Yellow!
Post by: BerylBreeze on March 12, 2012, 09:20:40 PM

The blind bag ponies have such a cute look, it's a shame they couldn't make a new mold for the unipegs to match.

I'm gonna have to agree with this! I'm also hoping that any new wave comes out soon! We need the other glow in the dark ponies.

I also wonder how many waves there will be...

Post by: will2Bfree on March 12, 2012, 11:22:35 PM
Based on the style of the cards, I think these will be released internationally first, rather than the US jumping straight to them as some people have speculated. Then again, EqD's reasoning might not be far off; it's hard to say. Hasbro can be so unpredictable, I'm pretty sure they don't even know what they're doing half the time. Regardless, I really hope the US still gets the rest of the waves that have been released so far. There are some ponies I really want in the two waves we're still missing.

Also, we now have a name for that brushable that looks so much like Fluttershy: Sunny Rays. And since we know the numbers that are on the cards, somebody can already make a cheat sheet for the BB's as well. It's a little disappointing that the first information we ever get about Cadence is that she "loves tiaras".... Um... really?! But, oh well. None of those super short descriptions are particularly great. NO earth ponies this wave? Are earth ponies not high-class enough to even be associated with the royal bride? Ouch. I don't miss the Pinkie Pie mold too much as it's my least favorite, but I still find the absence of ANY earth ponies a bit strange.

It's nice to have a new mold, but since there are only 3 ponies they can release in it (unless they decide to go totally crazy with the alicorns) I think making a separate Fluttershy mold would have been a bigger payoff for the effort. Ploomette's mismatch does look a little unusual. I don't hate it, but I think it would have flowed better if she had at least one or two little streaks to help soften the transition. I really like Diamond Rose's darker, richer hair color. It makes me sad now that they didn't use that shade for her brushable release.

Seems a lot of people think this all may be fake. I don't feel really strongly about this wave either way, so I think I'll just sit back and wait for news on that front, rather than read all the debates.

Ooh yeah, eiher that or "she blushes often" means she will be a color-changer pony.  Maybe you could run her under cold or hot water and her mane and/or cheeks turn pink or something.

For some reason, I really love that they're using G3 characters, and changing their species. Like Breezie and Skywishes were always meant to be pegasi! Also, LUNA! I'm glad they haven't forgotten about her. I really can't wait for this wave of blind bags!

Princess Cadence . . . IS ABSORBENT!


Just kidding, actually she LOVES TIARAS.  :silly:


Nice set, but I wish they'd make some G1-based ponies instead of G3, G3, G3.


I'm very pleased to see Lyra's name become a little more canon-ish.


Princess Celestia . . . IS A MAGICAL PONY!!


Ahahaha, Trixie's is "LIKES SHOWING OFF."

I hope so too, other generations had LOTS of different kinds of ponies with all sorts of colors, all sorts of symbols and everything, you can't even list them all off from the top of your head.

Hopefully G4 will have as many different kinds of ponies as much as there are compared to the other gens...instead of having sooo many re-releases of the Main 6 and having them being most of the different sorts. =_=;

Ugh, I know! Too many Applejacks and Fluttershys everywhere @_@. And much as I adore pink things, I would love to add some to the collection that are pink-less. Tea Love would be great, or Firecracker Burst.

Ok - first "cool" I love blind bags so its great to see more...

BUT does anyone else think these are coming out incredibly fast - we dont seem to get much of a breather between sets...and also I would much much prefer they put more time and effort into brushables than they do into blind bags

And as others have said I dont quite understand why Heartstrings has been renames...I prefer Heartstrings over Lyra Heartstrings...
Title: Re: New Wave of Blind Bags in Yellow!
Post by: LuvlyMelody on March 13, 2012, 03:30:40 AM
I agree with you Cat, the blind bags are coming out way to fast and no breaks in between. Waves 2-4 isn't even out yet in the US and already they're releasing wave 5.

I'd also prefer it if they spent most of that time and creativity they spend on the Blind bags and spent it more on regular brushables. =_=;

As for the names, has its ups and downs. I like it but at the same time its like "Really...?" :huh:
Title: Re: New Wave of Blind Bags in Yellow!
Post by: MikaUtsukushi on March 13, 2012, 04:38:56 AM
I was skimming through but.... I'm just so disappointed in Heartstrings name. It was fine the way it is, I know pandering to the bronies with the toys is fine but... changing the name just for them, is where I kind of draw the line. .v.


Oh jeez, Fluttershy what happened? XD


Forsythia looks more like Dinky's mother than :muffin: Pony does.


I like Sunny Rays alot, since her fanon name was Rays I'm glad they added something else to make it more ponyish.


Oh goodness, I love Princess Luna's description. She and I are a pair. XD


Also I assume these Junebugs and Sapphire Shores are different from their cartoon counterpart since they're unicorns and the other two are earth ponies.


And I see Princess Cadance loves tiaras. XD


Anyway skimming through everything, I'm just disappointed with Heartstrings now.... I guess I can adapt. :/

Post by: ShortyBoo on March 13, 2012, 05:52:05 AM
It's odd how they're all either pegasi or unicorns. I wonder why there are no earth ponies this wave? Either way, I have to say, I love this wave. I adore pastel colors, so I think these are all very pretty. I also like this Lyra better than the one from Wave 3.

I'm just worried that they're releasing these waves too fast and with the US being so many waves behind, I don't think we'll ever catch up. I really hope that all the waves come to the US, in order and that it doesn't take too terribly long, either.

I absolutely love these. It's nice to see some of the names fully confirmed.

My only disappointment is that Luna is still not blue - Blue has been my favorite color for years, so it saddens me that Luna can't have a blue release now her sister is the right color. Oh well, here's hoping for the future!

1 - where are earth ponies?! as everyone else has asked.

2 - golden delicious in the show was a boy pony with three yellow apples on his brown flank. what the heck is this unicorn with an apple family name? apple family is earth ponies! and golden delicious was a stallion! i know sometimes the show doesn't match the toys, but this is too far off for me.

I have two questions: (maybe someone can help me)

What is Trixie's last name?  I can't make it out on her card from Equestria Daily.

Also, does Lyra wave 5 look the same as wave 3?  If they are the same, I don't want to buy it again.

And as others have said I dont quite understand why Heartstrings has been renames...I prefer Heartstrings over Lyra Heartstrings...

Same here. But after seeing so many people freak out about those first blindbag names and about :muffin: Pony's name being removed, i think Hasbro is almost scared to change those fanon names...
I don't like all this catering to bronies (since i think some of the names are terrible.) but at this point i'm happy they at least kept the "Heartstrings" part.

1 - where are earth ponies?! as everyone else has asked.

2 - golden delicious in the show was a boy pony with three yellow apples on his brown flank. what the heck is this unicorn with an apple family name? apple family is earth ponies! and golden delicious was a stallion! i know sometimes the show doesn't match the toys, but this is too far off for me.

That Golden delicious is based on a G3 pony. Though the G3 version was an earth pony if i'm not mistaken. XD

I just saw these myself today, and they're pretty cute (even though they're the same mold) I wish they put in more male ponies. I also hope they come out in the US soon, at least the other waves, and not just the first.


Oh yeah, the wedding ponies (mane six) are available at K-Mart, if you check out their website, you'll see.

I like that Celestia and Luna are going to be available, new molds are very welcome, but I'm not overly excited about the rest. I think I just want loads more new poses and seeing the same RD, Twilight and Rarity poses for almost the whole set is dull no matter how pretty the colour schemes are.

Lyra Heartstrings and Trixie Lulamoon seem to be sensible compromises to me, I'm cool with these new names; I hope that's how they're packaged when their brushables are released.

Princess Luna looks nothing like herself and I can't believe they're not using the season 2 version of her in the character art. I'll be wanting the Celestia and Diamond Rose. Also Junebug because my birthday is in June.^^

I hear a lot of bronies saying these blind bag ponies don't look anything like the background characters in the show... but keep in mind that the fan names that were chosen for the background characters, some were taken from G3's (like Sapphire Shores and Golden Delicious). And Hasbro has been taking a lot of G3 ponies and remaking them as G4's, so it stands to reason these are not supposed to be the show's background characters. They're just new toys with G3 names.

These are neat, but it'll probably take forever to come to the States, if we even see it in stores at all. u_u Still waiting on waves 2-4 over here... Especially wave 4. I want those metallic paint ponies damn it.

No earth ponies though? That makes me sad! Also the heads on the alicorns are sooo tiny and their mane and big eyes engulfs it even further... wow lol.

Post by: Bag of Magic Food on March 13, 2012, 01:56:45 PM
I really don't think those alicorns are real blind bag toys, with the way they look cobbled together from the two halves of the two sides of the original Princess Celestia toy.  The Happy Meal Celestia is at a similar scale to the blind bags, and the sculpting on it looks nothing like that.

Earlier I was thinking about something, but forgot to put it in my earlier post. Anyway, I really don't like how this wave includes some of the TRU exclusive ponies. I mean, yes, they are slightly different colors, but they're still the same ponies. It really makes them less special and less "exclusive" and it's not fair to those of us that shelled out the $25 (or was it $30, I forget) for that set. I mean, when I got the set, I already had the main six, so I only really got it for the exclusives.

This is a good point, they have been confirmed to be TRU exclusives, right? As I recall from my G3 collecting days, I've NEVER seen a toy that is promised to be exclusive in one store wind up in others.

The reason being is that stores have to bid a LOT of money with Hasbro to get the right to claim an exclusive pony. You can be sure Target paid big $$$$ for their 'Canterlot' toys, and TRU had to shell out a lot to be able to be the only ones offering that set of minis. A store would not be too happy to find that they paid a lot of money to a toy company, and then the company offered that same toy somewhere else. It could end up in a lot of lawsuits at the end.

Now that isn't to say this set is necessarily fake. Maybe this wave of blind bags would be exclusive only to TRU? Who knows. Only time will tell.

Well, the TRU / Target exclusive toys are brushables, whereas these are tiny blindbags.   So a store would not consider them to be the same toy.   Just like if a store sold an exclusive version of Ariel the Mermaid, that would not stop other stores from selling other Ariel dolls . . . it would only put that particular Ariel doll off limit.

Personally, I will be vastly surprised if Hasbro doesn't make another brushable version of Luna, seeing as Cadence's "small" pose (the non-talking one) looks JUST like her.  Right down to the style of shoes she's wearing.


EDIT:  Nevermind, I just figured out you guys were talking about blindbag Skywishes and such.  (I am out of it today! I thought you meant Luna.)   Yeah, I could see how that would be frustrating after buying the TRU pack.   If they are slightly different colors, that's probably how Hasbro plans to get around the technicalities, but it's still sort of rude of them.


I wonder if that is why Lyra is also significantly different in color compared to her last release.

I'm really happy about Princess Celestia, Luna, & Cadence blind bags, BUT where are the boys?  They only made four without glitter.  =-(

I'm not surprised Hasbro is releasing "exclusive" toys more than once. The colors in the "exclusive" set and the blind bags are slightly different. Hasbro also said Thundercracker Transformer toy was an "exclusive" BotCon toy, but then changed the color slightly and released it everywhere. Hasbro is kind of full of lies.

As for Fluttershy, it might just be the toy the photographer got their hands on had an error with no paint on its hair. I've seen ponies with errors before that have been posted in Hasbro's official pictures, and I'm betting there are far from official, so my guess is Fluttershy will be correct when she comes out.

I forget who asked it, but yes, Lyra Heartstrings is different than Heartstrings. The paint has been changed a bit to be more show accurate.

On the fact that there is a lack of earth ponies, well… I'm kinda glad. I can't say much for the masses of unicorns, but they have been putting the least amount of pegasus ponies (by ratio) in with the blind bags so far, so it might even the numbers up a bit. Also, I kind of hate the Pinkie Pie mold anyway because it gets knocked over far too easily.

Post by: Bag of Magic Food on March 13, 2012, 08:53:44 PM
You make some good points, though I still say Sapphire Shores would have made so much more sense in the Pinkie Pie mold.

My current guess is that these images are probably from someone who works for Hasbro, but are probably not the finalized designs.

Ah but they know completionist collectors will need to have both variations. After all for them the store released Thundercracker is not the same as the BotCon one.

Post by: plusleg1rl on March 14, 2012, 07:08:09 AM
:shocked: Oh my gosh Luna and Celestia and Cadence!
I wonder if Fluttershy is meant to have a yellow mane to fit the yellow theme or not.
Interesting that they include Gardenia Glow and Skywishes who were supposed to be TRU Exclusives.
That sparkly green stallion inn't this wave. hm... I wonder where he is from?
and Lyra Heartstrings huh? they re-release her? Her hair looks different though. And Trixie Lula Moon instead of just Lula Moon like the glitter version.

Need need need. I love seeing new characters and BB versions of the brushables  ^.^
I hope more waves hit the US soon. What's this Wave 5, I'm still waiting on Wave 2.

I know tons of people are happy they make Celestia toys white now but it seems weird all my Celestia toys are pink. They are gonna be inconsistent now  :huh: It'll be like having a different pony.

Somepony in Hasbro read my mind! And i was right with Trixie and Lyra's full names.

And Finally, a Flitter Heart and Ploomette Figurine.

i'm so excited for the new characters!!! OMG rainbow wishes!!!! so cute!!

but is it me or are a lot of the actual ponies colored completely different than on the cards? looking on equestria daily right now, it looks like flippity flop has a red mane on the card and a pink mane on the toy, it looks like skywishes also has a red mane on the card instead of pink/purple/blonde, ribbon wishes looks far darker on the card then on the actual toy, and island rainbow looks like she has a salmon colored body and purple hair on the toy but an orange body and pink hair on the card.

hopefully these colors arent too far off once theyre in stores :/

I think a lot of the ponies in this Blind Bag lot are revisions of past G3 ponies with the same name.

I think this is Wave 4 and the Wave of "all glitter" is Wave 5...because this wave appears to have glow in the dark Fluttershy so it would make sense that that came before the metal effect ponies...

If anyone finds a way to order whole boxes (that isn't a huge fortune) gimme a PM!  I wouldn't mind paying a little extra...

Oh good observation about the glow in the dark fluttershy.  I hope this is wave 4 because I would like to buy them.  I'm not interested in the glitter ones so that would be fine with me if they were wave 5.

I sincerely doubt Fluttershy is glow in the dark. Her card image would reflect it if she were.

Just Google equestria daily and the site is the first result that comes up. There is a link for the blind bags post right near the top. I dunno why it isn't allowed to link there when it is just a news site like Strawberry Reef (they just happen to post fanfiction and fanart news too but only the people that run the place can make posts everyone else can only do comments) and not a trading community forum like here.
