These were shown at JAPEO, a Japanese arcade/amusement expo. I think the hair/fur looks good, I like the Applejack...obviously.

Squee! These so far are my favorite plushies. :) I knew I held off getting any plush for a reason.  Thank you for sharing ~

These don't look that great.
I still want them, but they look tiny and like the mini funrise plushies with fuzzy manes. meh.

I want these!

Edit: Is there a way to buy these wholesale now?

Twilight and Rarity have no horns? Or did I miss something? I'm not the biggest fan of these, but they are alright.

I noticed the same...the larger ones are missing their horns, but the smaller ones have them!

Title: Re: G4 Japan Crane Game Plushies
Post by: Malicieuse on February 19, 2013, 09:22:33 AM

I dunno. They don't look very good and some seem to be lacking a horn.
I don't think they are worth importing.

Dash and AJ look the best (of the non-horned lot)  - Twilight and Pinkie look a little off (on both lots)

as these are presumably the prototypes (or at least the best looking samples)- it does make you wonder what the final ponies will look like.

I like the beanie ponies that will be coming out better :D

They are cute! The horns look like they are made of felt and are covered by the mane forelock.

oh those are cute! i would love the fluttershy

Post by: Cherry_Sunset on February 19, 2013, 09:51:42 AM

Oh my freaking gosh, these are so adorable! I want all of them, but to me, Applejack looks the cutest, and if I had to choose one, I'd get her.

I just really hope these don't turn out to be like the Sonic the hedgehog UFO crane catchers. For any unfamiliar, these UFO plushies go for crazy amounts of money, and some are so rare and made in such limited quantities, if one ever pops up on ebay, they are listed at $1,000.00.

Let's just hope they mass produce these to lower their prices for those of us who are unable to make it over there  :)

Rainbow Dash looks AMAZING that way ! :D

The hair kinda bothers me, and, from experience, unless prize toys are from an extremely popular series, they're bloody hard to find outside Japan. If they're Ichiban Kuji (type of lottery) some proxies will buy the tickets for you and then ship whatever you win. I don't know if they'd play a crane game, though...

I LOVE these! Especially Fluttershy and applejack!

often at prize fairs you see some unfinished work. the unicorns will be unicorns and applejack's hats will probably be the proper brown color when they finally come out. also, the first sets are in july and the next in august :)

That hair is perfect for Rainbow Dash! She looks like she just got out of preforming a double inside-out loop!

Title: Re: G4 Japan Crane Game Plushies
Post by: fireglides on February 19, 2013, 07:09:13 PM

I think these are some the cutest plushies yet! I think Rainbow Dash looks best. I love the little tufts of rainbow.

I really love these, especially the Applejack and Rainbow Dash! Fingers crossed my friend will be able to snag me a few when they're released :)

Cute, but I'm not going to go looking for them.

Title: Re: G4 Japan Crane Game Plushies
Post by: DazzleKitty on February 20, 2013, 01:49:33 AM

They are cool, but nothing special IMO.

Title: Re: G4 Japan Crane Game Plushies
Post by: Ice Crystal on February 20, 2013, 02:39:08 AM

Oh, I hope these show up online. That Rarity is not my favourite official plush that I've seen, but if I can snag one for cheap then I will.

Er... well not cheap. But affordable.

This looks adorable! I may have to add to my wishlist to save up for later.

Cute :)

Thanks so much for sharing popyduggan - so these are going to be crane machine prizes then?

I cant wait to see what else the Japanese market gets but I think the plush coming from Aurora and another couple of sources do look a little more adorable.

Sadly, yes. I emailed the photos to my best friend. She speaks/reads Japanese. She said these particular plushies are UFO only. Uh... UFO is what they call the claw machines in Japan. So these are going to be hard to get even in Japan. :(
