Personally, I think they should get on making brushables of the more popular blind bag ponies or any ponies at all before they release another wave. There's too many to keep up with, plus they already have the name trademarked... It wouldn't take much to have that pony be made into a brushable.
Wave 8 was released? When? All I've seen is wave 7. I know there's some wave 8 ponies on eBay, but I just thought those were from TaoBao.I know Hot Topic has them now for the last month, or at least all the ones I've been to.
Have we seen the Silver Spoon and Lyrica as blindbags before? Mango listed some todayYep, many a time. They'll be releasing in these sets. (http://derpicdn.net/media/W1siZiIsIjIwMTMvMDUvMDYvMTlfNDZfMTNfNzA1XzMxODI3N19fVU5PUFRfX3NhZmVfb2ZmaWNpYWxfdG95c181MTg4MDg4NDdmMTIzYjI1MjAwMDA4ZWEuanBlZyJdXQ/318277.jpeg)
Examples:
Not one I recognize offhand, and not a common cutie mark, either! EDIT: Looks like this guy (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120326190037/mlp/images/6/66/Blue_rainbow_pegasus_stallion_s02e22.png), except magically transformed into a mare.
Another issue of Amethyst Star (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110216030225/mlp/images/9/90/Amethyst_Star_id.png), who's previously made two appearances in the Rarity mold.
Not ringing any bells. EDIT: Possily this girl. (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110803032838/mlp/images/5/5b/Chilly_puddle_xsalien.png) Would explain why the cutie mark looks so unfamiliar.
Medley!!!!! (http://stevenarch.tymoon.eu/ga/src/131328803995.gif) <3
No one in particular. Probably just a generic three-second Sassaflash recolor from Winter Wrap-Up. EDIT: Exactly right! (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110709060821/mlp/images/2/21/Honeysuckle.png)
Pretty sure that's a reissue of Peachy Sweet (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110327212746/mlp/images/b/b4/Peachy_Sweet_id.png), with an Applejack mold and a more accurate, less pink mane color.
I was so excited about the BB when they first arrived at my Wal-Mart, but now there's too many to keep track of and I would really like to see Hasbro focus on brushables instead of so many BB :( Are the BB ponies more popular than brushables? It's not like there's a huge price difference (only $3 difference in my area)

The BBs are more popular with bronies, I believe (since a lot of them are male and don't enjoy mane-styling like girls do). Despite being a brony myself, I do prefer brushables since they're bigger and easier to keep up with. Plus it's what MLP is known for so...
Then again I'm female so there might be some gender bias. xD
I ordered this one. Released or not. Her color scheme is beautifull!

That was my favorite of the bunch too!
This! I've actually been planning to try reposing one into a sitting position for a custom for some time. I'm just worried my sculpting skills aren't up to it :lookround:
I would like to see a sitting pose BB. Something like G1 Bubbles and Seashell.

Well here's a new face...Hmmm. That looks like either a factory error, or the previous one we saw with that color combo was a factory error (since they both share a cutie mark with an already existing pony). I doubt there'd be two identical ponies with different cutie marks in the same wave.

Lily Valley is an earth pony, not a pegasus. Sassaflash's cutie mark remains plausible if they're shooting for this pony:Oops yeah you're right!

But they dont always aim to release ponies which are background ponies. There are plenty of blind bags which have never shown up as "background" characters.The vast majority of blindbags are a) from the show, b) from previously-released toys, or c) directly from G3. The balance used to be different, I know, but since the third wave, there have been very few exceptions:

Wave 5: 4: Sapphire Shores, Ribbon Wishes, Forsythia, Rainbow Wishes

Wave 7: 1: Barber Groomsby
Wave 8: 0
Wave 9 from what we've seen so far: 0
Has Hasbro reused cutie marks on blind bag ponies before? Maybe horseshoes, now that I think. I don't recall any others...except I don't recall whether Sugar Grape and Golden Grape's cutie marks are identical. Hmmmm.
Either way, I don't think they'd reuse a color combo on the same mold, so one must be a misprint.
...ahhhhhhhh I want her!! :o Too bad she's probably an error.They would still pop up on ebay I bet :)
Have any popped up using Fluttershy's mold?Nope... which is a pity, because I would be all over one of these ladies (http://images.wikia.com/mlp/images/d/d5/S3E13_Standard-Bearers_and_Guards.png). Or maybe even four of them.
I got the one I ordered today in the mail! Just gonna copy-paste this from my Tumblr:

Got this brand new MLP Blind Bag in the mail today. She hasnt been in any wave yet but… as you can see she has a production code and another one. Something that only happens with Blind Bags that appear in Wves (and not the 3 pack sets) Could this be a pony from Wave 9?
De code is 30631 wich means she was produced on 4 March 2013. I guess this is indeed wave 9
How many of these have been found so far? And also have any Fluttershys with the correct hair popped up yet? I just hope Hasbro doesn't pull a stupid and go through with creating a new pegasus mold and then only use the Rainbow Dash mold in the bags.
ah neon carrot top! :tellme: :freak: GIMMEEEEE
I am so, so, so very excited about this girl (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/itsirko/KGrHqFlMFG7gyrHKYBRyWHJPOg60_57_zpsa0d8f032.jpg). She's one of my absolute favorite background ponies. I have a soft spot for the background pegasi. ♪
Do we have all 24 figured out yet? I'm still hoping for sine Fluttershy mold pegasai.

She seems to be pretty popular. I wonder what her name will be officially.

I've counted 14 (15 if you count the pink one that is exactly the same except different cutie marks) unaccounted for BBs so far.
Don't forget the mane six! Not all the waves had them all (See: wave 5), but most do.
24 - 6 = 18
18 - 3 (specials) = 15
15, including the yellow nurse, not including the two pink pegasi with the same color scheme (I really don't think they'd do two ponies identical except for cutie mark in the same wave), plus the specials and mane six are a totally viable wave.
Edit: Unless the specials are included in the 15, then we've still got three unaccounted for. Hopefully those end up new Fluttershy mold!
They have! In fact, that's the norm. Waves 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 have specials that are different versions of the mane six--glittery, metallic, glow in the dark, etc.
Those last two look like they just have different lighting. I'll be incredibly surprised if they make it into the same wave.Might be but I just noticed that, besides the different cutie marks, one has RD's eye style and one has AJ's. Their colors are so similar though.

The only ones I'd bank on not being frankenponies are the three rainbow ones, nurse, and the two rain-themed pegasi, since they don't share cutie marks with any past ponies.Lol, or Hasbro might just be getting THAT lazy. :lol: We've already got Cherry Spices and Trixie in 2 different molds, 3 different Lyras...

Remember, every one of them, except for the Lily Valley pegasus, corresponds to a real background pony from the show. They might not all end up going through, but I wouldn't consider any of them frankenponies.
To be fair, a lot of the background ponies in the show are 'frankenponies', too. Quite a few of the ponies shown in that image are background characters that appear only once for a brief moment, sporting the cutie mark and eye color of a more common background pony.QuoteThe only ones I'd bank on not being frankenponies are the three rainbow ones, nurse, and the two rain-themed pegasi, since they don't share cutie marks with any past ponies.Disagreed.

Oh, absolutely. Medley, Amethyst Star, and Sea Swirl are among the main twenty-two background mares, but the rest are definitely one-scene recolors or members of the endless Apple Family that I can never bother to keep track of. I just mean it's super unlikely that the toymakers and the showmakers would independently come up with all those identical combinations of coat color, mane color, and cutie mark.To be fair, a lot of the background ponies in the show are 'frankenponies', too.

Oh guys I just thought of this! I saw a 12 pack of Wave 8 ponies on taobao recently.

I wonder if we might start getting smaller waves?
I really hope stores don't start stocking half waves now though. That'd be really irritating to have half the ponies to be harder to get.
If I were to nominate one of those ponies (besides Lily Valley the pegasus pony) not to make it into the line, it'd be the blue and gray rainbow girl, because, uh, hello, she's supposed to be a dude??

It has not so far...but to be honest I do wonder why.
The BBC are crazy defensive of the Dr Who brand and its use. I think perhaps there is a major difference in this case in the name being used in merchandise [which includes Funko] and being used by Hasbro themselves. Their target market remains little girls, I think Time Turner is perhaps more relateable for them. But then again with Hasbros weird pattern of decisions recently who knows.
More amusing testing of the Cadance cutie mark:Ooo, want the Magnet pony with Cadance symbol! Gimme!

Right then! There've been all sorts of topics about newfound molds -- alicorn Twilight, DJ Pon-3, drama pony, Thunderlane, and so on -- and I'm fine with segregating those off because they'll probably be all in special packs anyway. Except for maybe non-TAF alicorn Twilight, I guess, if they replace her old model entirely. But a new normal bb just showed up, though you'd be forgiven for confusing her with Tealove:

(She supposedly also appears in Magical Mystery Cure with her eyes open, but I don't feel like going hunting for a better shot.)
Also, a couple more random eye/cutie mark test models like we've seen plenty of before, but they're always amusing:
Ooo, want the Magnet pony with Cadance symbol! Gimme!

At least this one's eyes look better than muffins too small eyes :lookround:
I think she (the animated character) is gorgeous, but I don't like this mold at all, so I don't actually know what I want. :( It's really weird that she seems to have a neon body like in W8, since nothing else we've seen has looked like that at all. RANDOM THEORY: The three special ponies will be this girl, the glittery pegasus Cadance, and somepony metal (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,339259.0.html), as a sort of recap of variations from waves past.
(If nothing else, she has the same cutie mark as Berryshine from W3 or whatever, so that wouldn't be an obstacle...)
Perhaps they are gonna swith this one with the current wave 8 Fluttershy when they release this wave of Blind Bags here in Europe. :)
It may just be because I am hungry but that FS looks like a jelly sweetie :PNah, pretty much all the neon ones look deceptively like candy.
I love customizing the wave 7 clear ones, because when you seal them, they smooth out and look like jelly. It's so gorgeous.It may just be because I am hungry but that FS looks like a jelly sweetie :PNah, pretty much all the neon ones look deceptively like candy.

- (no sign yet of Applejack or Pinkie Pie... very puzzling!)
There was also a clear purple pony in Thunderlane's mold spotted. That makes 3 clear ones. I'm starting to think these will be the specials.

'Neon' or 'clear' ponies would be a pretty poor special type since we've already had two entire waves of them. Dunno if it makes much sense to have special ones if we've already had them released as normals. Like, we had a wave of glittery ponies, but only after three special ones made up the first set.
Do you have a pic of the AJ figure? I'm sure it's awesome! :lol:
- (no sign yet of Applejack or Pinkie Pie... very puzzling!)
I did spy a apple-covered AJ on taobao, but they were gone pretty quick. I haven't seen a Pinkie though!
Coconut Cream is from the TRU exclusive set that was released around the same time as Wave 1 in the US (and continues to fill its shelves even today), along with Skywishes, Gardenia Glow, Peachy Pie, Sweetsong, and Beachberry. The other two are from the Walmart Pony Power set, along with Seascape, Rainbow Swirl, Kiwi Tart, Pick-a-Lily, Periwinkle, and Waterfire.

You never know, maybe it's an everything wave to celebrate being number 10. Neon/translucent ponies (Lightning Dust, Fluttershy, Strawberry Sunrise, that purple pegasus dude). Normal ponies (Alicorn Twilight, Thunderlane, Daring Do, Snips). Glittery ponies (Cadance). Metallic ponies (purple Rarity, yellow Rarity). We just need some more glow in the darks and we're good to go!Hmmm, there was also a couple different clear boy ponies that were glittered...maybe so!
