Title: Some Taobao oddities
Post by: Shy Violet on April 27, 2013, 03:23:41 PM
I saw some more odd taobao ponies that I haven't seen anyone else post about yet. They are mane 6 but they have multi colored hair and tinsel! Kinda cool. They're sold out now but I saved some pics. They're all shown in Rarity's mask

There is a thread about something similar to this where you can see Rarity. It's here. (http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,327261.0.html) She does look a little different though,  so I'm not sure if she's from the same set you mentioned or someone at a factory just getting bored one day. :)

Back to these ones, they look really interesting. I don't usually try to buy more main 6 ponies, but with the pretty hair combinations, i think I will should they ever come out in stores. (Although I'm hoping the colours in the mane aren't just from the tinsel- that they have actually added different colours of hair.)

yes, these reminded me of that Rarity too :) These are newer listings on Taobao though, they just sold out yesterday. So it's interesting that more were made. Fluttershy had 19 in stock when I first saw them, they sold out quickly.

Strawberry reef has a facebook! I need to find that!   

Also I seen these this morning on strawberry reef's site, I wonder if they are really going to be made for something? They look amazing.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if the next "thing" is a rainbow theme.  Kids love rainbows.
That tinsel is kinda scary though it looks like a nightmare to tame.  I do like the multicolor hair, especially on AJ.

Comic Con / Fair Candidate?  If so, she's definitely no drama pony...

I was thinking about if they did a Rainbow Dash this morning and how, and I kinda figured that they wouldn't- due to her rainbow colours it'd be difficult to add more colour to her mane (which sounds kinda silly now.) I'm really glad they did make one though, and they did manage to add more colours which is a plus.

And more Pinkie.

That Pinkie looks really interesting, the cutie mark reminds me of the one that was glittery on the inside like Wysteria, except this one looks like she's in a fashion style pose?

I wouldn't be surprised if that Pinkie Pie was the SDCC / Fair pony.  We all know that Hasbro loves to pimp out Pinkie as much as possible.

Fluttershy's mane almost reminds me of Celestia, and Pinkie's is kinda like Cadence's. Interesting to see the pink/black/white cutie mark again on Pinkie, but just that seems kinda boring for the SDCC pony, since she isn't that much different than the regular FS Pinkie.

I  do not think that she is the exclusive but I do think that she is for something special.  Maybe a more general release in celebration of the 30th anniversery?  THat color combo both on this FS and on the other glitter Pinkie make me think that they are trying to make her look more "sophisticated" in celebration of something.

Just what I was thinking! Having two Pinkies with the same symbol but so different otherwise suggests a bigger theme in play than exclusive con exclusives, to me. Plus with Wysteria in the mix... Gosh, an anniversary theme would be amazing, especially if it means more ponies! :green:

It's possible the con pony could be part of the theme, but last year aside, Pinkie seems rather plain for being the exclusive.

That big pinkie with the black streak is so pretty!! I want her so bad now....I really hope they do release all of these, I need them.

I want all the mane 6 with that crazy tinsel, I totally LOVE it!!

Post by: BigBrotherPony on April 28, 2013, 03:05:42 PM
It's a bit funny to see these as I think the combination of the masks and the tinsel make these ponies tie together as a theme much better than what they are actually releasing!

The combo feels very carnival like or Mardi Gras... And makes sense with the masks.

I wonder if this is what they originally planned to do then Hasbro needed to cut costs or something and reverted back to regular hair!

It wouldn't surprise me;)

I LOVE that Pinkie! I agree she's a little boring to be the comic con pony but I'm hopeful this is part of some sort of wide release. I like the idea of something to do with the anniversary

Thats certainly a possibility - anything is possible with Hasbro. Although, perhaps, we would therefore see a Sunset Shimmer with the same tinsel going on? Although again...its Taobao...its completely unpredictable and very far from an accurate indication of what is going on.

I like that Pinkie - and the fact there is a FS reflecting the glitter version is hopefully an indication of her in a release in this style at some point. However, I think this would be a disappointment if it turned out to be either the Fair or the CC pony - in my personal opinion. I cant imagine a glitter symbol Pinkie is going to be what we see at Comic Con however - some how she doesnt fit the brony market which Hasbro are after with this release and for the Fair its a $50 pony figure...a blinged up Pinkie is going to be a major disappointment.

There are two sellers on that Pinkie Pie right now. I paid for mine today and will post pictures when I have her in hand. I really wonder what and who she is made for? Or if she will even make it to the stores? There are so many ponies out right now that we have no idea?

I love the crazy rainbow hair. I wish Hasbro would do more things like that....
