Title: German FiM Plushies!?

    Translated into English: (only the Pony part)
    It's now 30 years since "My Little Pony" shows up and bringing Girls into the colorful world of friendship. It began just with a little plastic toy of the colorful Ponys. Today it's inspiring with TV Shows and a huge and colorful lines of products. In September, Nici will bring out a 20 piece-set of "My little Pony".
    With that, three very popular Ponys "Pegasus Rainbow Dash", "Twilight Sparkle" and "Pinkie Pie" from the TV Show will be coming to your home for cuddling and loving.
    Under the Pinkie Plush:
    Nici will publish the plush collection in the second half-year of the Ponys from "My Little Pony".


Just found this on Tumblr (original article from ED) and I'm SO EXCITED. That Pinkie looks great and I can't wait to see the Twilight and RDash ones <3 Germany is so close so even if they don't make it outside the country I'm hopeful I'll be able to get one or two and no customs to pay from within the EU, too~.

(sorry if this was already posted)

Wow, neat find!!  I LOVE that the Pinkie Pie has actual plush hair and not fur or ribbon hair, and the proportions are nicer to me than the Funrise ones. Very excited to hear/see more about this, thanks for sharing!

Definitely, and a good one! Nici plushies are always so adorable (but pricey)!

I can't wait for this to be a thing!
They even have a Nici shop in Bonn where I could go buy them :biggrin: Now all I need to do is get a job, and then I can build my own plush army! Thanks so much for sharing this, it really made my day :)

Nici. Yeah, heard of them - they make the Goleo and Schnappi plushes iirc.

There are a few Nici outlets in Malaysia. But given that I've never seen any Schnappi plushes in there, I doubt if these will make it in.

That was actually a link to a page on the website Equestria Daily. The Arena does not allow anyone to link to EqD pages on this site, it's against the rules (though many people don't know about this rule, I think). If anyone does try to link to a EqD page, it automatically changes to a hasbro link that will not work.

Wow, the first official FiM plush with nice hair! So much props to the people who designed this! I'm kind of iffy on the nose shape, but other than that, I'm really impressed!

Post by: Dragonflitter on January 25, 2013, 08:39:09 AM
The example in that picture looks remarkably similar to what fan-made plushies are looking like on ebay and DA and etsy. Wonder if it's made of the same stuff, that minky material?

That makes lots of sense.
Thank you for the reply :)

I was going to say the same thing, although I'd guess the materials are standard mass market stuff. It's nice to see the usa isn't the only one getting neat exclusivey MLP stuff.

she's super pretty.  It's nice having a quality official plush, even if it is a bit pricey.

Those look soooooooo much better than the funrise plush!

Post by: TrixieStix on January 25, 2013, 02:29:22 PM
I'm there with hoping for a larger release as well! Pinkie looks so adorable, and better than what's been out so far.

I too would love a Rarity, AJ and Flutters but it's great that there are better plushes coming.

Post by: CrazyCatPony on January 25, 2013, 03:52:11 PM
Ah! they need to take notes here in the US! Make them look better! >_< lol

Yeah, I'd love to see Rari and AJ in this collection. I was geting my hopes up when I saw the promo pic of Pinkie, but then I read the text :(
I'm not interested in RD, Twilight or Pinkie. Why not make all six?

As the article specifically said "popular ponies" I'm going to assume they might be making those three as a test to see how well they sell, I guess they've done some kind of research onto which are the most popular (I think those three do have the most merch of all the mane six, too). If they sell well (can't see why they wouldn't) I imagine we'll see the other three at some point (unless the company is afraid of making money) :)

Oh great post! Well spotted.

I love love love nici and I collect their Jollys and always have a nici keyring - their quality is great, I cant wait to see what these are like!

Nici is a company that is famous for its bad decisions, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for more pony characters, but I'm rather pessimistic *g*

(taken from the G4 merch Tumblr) "They will be released in September and ONLY in Germany, Austria and Switzerland; it’s possible that they would be released to other countries, but only if demand is sufficient.

The three ponies to be released will be Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. Twilight will be a unicorn, not an alicorn. They come in 12 cm, 30 cm and “life size.” The largest size will cost 90 Euros, which is 121 USD. "

I'm hoping they'll be available online and will ship to the rest of the EU, if not worldwide, otherwise I'll be asking my mum's friend to get the 30cm Rainbow and Twilie for me. There are UK websites that sell NICI plushies but I don't know if these will appear on them...

Wow I think Pinkie has been eating too many cupcakes! The Pinkie on the far left looks like it has the best pattern.
Title: Re: German FiM Plushies!?
Post by: majikarte on January 30, 2013, 08:42:35 AM
The big Pinkie is kind of awkward looking, but I kind of love her, too bad it's not something I'll ever get the chance to own. Twilight and Dash look nice.
Title: Re: German FiM Plushies!?
Post by: RedKitsune on January 30, 2013, 08:52:09 AM
Wow, they are pretty much the same price as fan made plushies : / Given the choice, I'd rather just go buy a hand made one off of ebay for that price. That especially goes for that pinkie pie, the pattern is so off she looks fat x_x; The smaller ones are cute though. I wouldn't mind having that rainbow dash. I wonder what they will charge for the smaller ones?
Title: Re: German FiM Plushies!?
Post by: Galactica on January 30, 2013, 08:54:47 AM
Germany is lucky!  I love that toymaker- I bought some Diddle plushies when I was in Germany many years ago- seriously fantastic quality!

But it seems unlikely they will hit the states.

The smaller ones are the cutest- I hope they are plentiful enough to be available on ebay...
Title: Re: German FiM Plushies!?
Post by: RAMChYLD on January 30, 2013, 09:03:26 AM
Man, I need to rethink my stand! WANT the life-sized Pinkie Pie!

(Yeah, I know she's way off model, but I'd really want to snuggle up with her! This huge one makes my was-previously-an-Argos-exclusive look like a beanie baby in comparison!)

Unfortunately, given that they're only going to release it in 3 European countries, who knows if the Malaysian Nici stores will get them :(

Title: Re: German FiM Plushies!?
Post by: Ice Crystal on January 30, 2013, 09:04:11 AM
It looks like the little plush grew but its nose stayed the same size haha. I really love the small and medium-size plush, like the Twilights on the shelf there. I think they have the best looking patterns.

I can't wait! I love Nici plush. I hope they make the rest of the mane six and release them in other countries, although I doubt the latter.

Sounds like September will be a road trip month for me then. I would so love that cuddly giant Pinkie Pie.
Title: Re: German FiM Plushies!?
Post by: HawaiianRain on January 30, 2013, 09:57:38 AM
twilight doesn't look half bad from the angle she is at but poor pinkie pie. Looks as if she overdosed on the pies.
Title: Re: German FiM Plushies!?
Post by: Lunar Dust on January 30, 2013, 10:04:57 AM
Super cute, I hope they release these world wide. I love Twilight for sure she looks really good. Rainbow Dash also looks good and Pinkie Pie look good in the smaller sizes. But as for the life size plush she looks a little weird.
Title: Re: German FiM Plushies!?
Post by: Bow Tie on January 30, 2013, 10:30:13 AM
I would love to get the small and medium sizes of Rarity and Fluttershy if they were to ever make either of them.

There are 4 sizes of toy in that image but they are only making 3 sizes when finished? There must be a size missing - probably the smallest one. I would guess proportionally the "life size" one is 60cm ish in height. Wow!

I love that mid sized twilight sparkle at the top!  As for That giant pinkie....that my friends is what nightmares are made of! *runs away scared*

Post by: RAMChYLD on January 30, 2013, 10:43:01 PM
If they're really going to make a life-sized Fluttershy and Applejack, I'd gladly get those two! Off model or not, the chance to have a full body cuddle with those two are too good to pass up!
Title: Re: German FiM Plushies!?
Post by: Zapper on January 30, 2013, 11:31:31 PM
I'm pretty certain the "life size" is off-model on purpose for little kids to sit on.
As awesome as a huge Rarity plush would be, I'm not paying 90€ for a barrel pony *g* The mid-sized and mini ponies seem to look the best from what I can see.

Nici confirmed they will be doing merch similar to that they do for their other lines - so most of those items will probably be for sale too in the countries mentioned.
