Title: Survey: G4 Merch
Post by: Artsy Craftsy on September 20, 2013, 08:48:56 PM
What kind of merch would you like to see more? Or what merch that already exists do you wish could be redone and made better?

Reason for survey: it's a secret ;3

Clothes other than tshirts like dresses, leggings, shorts, pants, etc. Maybe pony jewelry? And definitely gloves and stuff for winter :)

id say socks and hats, kinda what LPS did with its accesories. we have more than enough plastic crowns and metallic necklaces to accesorize my entire collection.

Well, in truth,  I get more excited about retro G1 merch than the G4 merch.  But for either, I would love to see more shirts/accesories for *women*.  Not t-shirts made for little girls or in men's styles for the bronies.  and in plus sizes!

Also, the stuff that is very fanon-centric really turns me off.  I want to be able to wear stuff in public and not have people look at me funny because the regular person doesn't get the in-joke on my t-shirt.

I wish there was more merch about ponies and reading because I work in a library and I can totally get away with wearing it/displaying it at work.  I've already bought the few I have seen at welovefine.  Though, now I regret getting the one that says "Reading isn't just for eggheads" because I'm afraid that it might be taken the wrong way at work and so I don't wear it.

More adult shirts or a hoodie. I am more of a G1 pony person also so that would be cool to see it on those items.

As for G4 pony stuff, it would be cool to see some more winter stuff :)

Stationery, winter gloves and scarves, women's sized clothing (hello, giant untapped market!), and more bath/body stuff cause I think it's adorable.

For G4 stuff? More Luna and Celestia stuff, like plush toys for them or other high-grade items, not just the brushables they've made and remade so far. I would also like to see some new clothes and winter items like a lot of people have said, just with different ponies on them, not just the main 6 that you see every where. I would absolutely love it if they brought forward some of the older G1 ponies and did G4 versions on clothes and things just to get a little bit of variety in the items.

:like: Yes! I love stationary and pony stationary is the cutest.

I also second the fact I prefer things without the popular background ponies [no more Drama Pony, Dr Hooves, Vinyl Scratch, etc] and things without meme led messages.

I'd like to see some sterling silver jewellery, stationary (especially fancy stationary, like fountain pens!), and stickers! And, more of it in the UK, too xD I swear I can get all the Moshi Monsters and Ben 10 stationary but there is never any Pony stuff in the store :(

More adult-sized clothing would be great as well :) This might sound a bit odd but...I'd like to see pony-themed knitting yarn, too. The colourways could reflect the pony's body, mane, and cutie mark colours and would so SO. AWESOME. If I could get the supplies I'd totally dye my own! Also: Cutie mark buttons (as in, clothing buttons, not pin badges). Someone please make it so!

More G1 clothes. I wear pastel j-fashion 99% of the time and I'm sick of having to cut up little girls sweaters and t shirts and skirts from the 80s just to get ponies on my clothes. I wear womens sizes so I couldn't care less if they were for men or women.

Stationary! I'm still at university so I'm always hunting for cute pencil cases and stuff ;w;!

And... ear plugs ;w;. I know most people are grossed out by stretched ears but I love mine and I want some cute pony jewelry for them!

I agree with all of this 100%, especially the fandom/meme part. I also agree with Kitkumi, more Celestia and Luna would be great :)

I'd also like to add that non-show pony merch would be amazing :heart: I think I might faint if there were ever a Dewdrop Dazzle T-shirt!

Pocket shirts. I own like 5 MLP t-shirts but don't wear them much at all because I always wear pocket shirts (polos, t-shirts, business casual button shirts).

WeLoveFine even have a few MLP shirts that show ponies riding in your shirt pocket -  but they don't have actual pockets!

For now I mostly live with buttons.

I agree with this!  It would be cool to have some merch with Dewdrop Dazzle or Lilly Blossom or Blossomforth or MINTY!   Ooooo!  Christmas Minty Merch!  I would buy that!

I would really like more HOODIES. I have one from WLF, but I don't want any actual ponies an my hoodies. Just pony references. My current one is a Cloudsdale Weather hoodie. It doesn't get me boofhoofed, but other collectors know what it is. :)

(ach late reply, i didnt realize it was like the wearable stuff, i was talking about extras for the ponies in my first post, silly me... :lookround:)

i third the idea of merchandise with HasbrOCs. i would simply DIE if i ever saw a feathermay, minty or flitterheart shirt! but my favorite kind of merchandise is PLUSHIES. soft snuggly ponies for the shelf cant be denied!

As far as toys, more boy molds!! I also want more unpopular background ponies and less mane 6. Can you do G1 characters into G4 toys that would be awesome because I want Firefly and Twilight Velvet merch! I really like the plushies and seconded for Celestia plushie!!! Speaking of Celestia, Im still keeping my fingers crossed for a white fashion style version!

Anything pony that glows in the dark!! I LOVE glow in the dark stuff!
 
I love the idea of more stationary stuff however my local stores have not recieved any G4 stationary except for some back-to-school stuff. =<

I LOVE this idea. I would buy my daughter one of every cutie mark. And you could do shorts and pants with cutie marks on the pockets. Bathingsuits with a cutie mark on the bum.  Im having cuteness overload just thinking about it.

I also want womens clothing in Plus sizes. T-shirts, hoodies, jeans with cutie marks on the pockets, shorts tank tops, etc...

Aw man, I would love more adult oriented clothing that's more fashion-forward.  The Hot Topic stuff is alright, but that's more of an I'm-staying-in-all-day sort of thing.  I want something subtle that I can wear out!

I really like the idea of cutie marks on skirts and things, I've personally been waiting for something like this for a while.  Maybe something like fashion tights with big cutie marks on the hip/butt area?  Maybe no one but me would know about the cutie mark, but I'd love some navy Luna tights with a moon on my lower hip.  :D

I've also seen some scarf wear that was okay, but almost all of them have had pony faces on them.  Just the colors and maybe a small cutie mark would be plenty for me.

I'd also like to throw another vote in for cute, subtle hoodies.  The ones with pony faces on the hood are a little much for me.  It would be interesting to see a range of styles and fabrics in the same line too, from comfy-thick to almost like a shrug depending on the character.

Ooooo idea! How about for the equestria girls... a huuuuge house-like playset similar to the Barbie Dream house but bigger!? It could be high school themed, sugarcube corner, or Rarity's boutique store! I would SO love a huuuge Sugar Cube corner playset that closes up into the gingerbread house shape! <3
Sorry, I know that sounds ridiculous and crazy but hey a pony can dream! ^อบ^

A video game, with action, maybe an adventure game!
