Plus size pony! I kind of like her bigger body proportions, heh. Jut not her eyes.

A plump Rainbow Dash! She almost looks G1 in some of her proportions- I wonder what size this pony is? 

I do actually like her shape- but her wings look so cheapo her symbol weird and I've always thought the jointed ponies look a bit off...

I like her body size, but what is it with all of these mad looking eyes or up to something eyes?

Post by: Galactica on December 05, 2013, 02:07:55 AM
Oh yeah- she does have a somewhat odd expression- I think they were trying to make her look like "YEAH!" spunky or something- not angry- but I see what you are saying.  I bet a very very careful application of acetone to that frowny bit would fix her right up :D

I normally don't like gimmicky ponies- but the more I see this chubby RD the more I like her ... 

Maybe they are returning to a more G1 shape !!!!

Neat! I actually like her eyes, makes her look focused and intense. The only thing I wish is that her wings looked sturdier. Gonna have to get this one!

This is actually cute! I too like her proportions. She looks like an honest to goodness pony now!

I will buy her depending on size. I don't have much room to display giant toys!

TornadoTwist- where did you see this image?  Was it from Taobao or another site ?

Post Merge: December 05, 2013, 03:17:14 AM

Oh wow- there is already a listing on Target!!!  Judging from the price- my guess is bigger than a playful size
 http://www.target.com/p/my-little-pony-flip-whirl-rainbow-dash-pony-figure/-/A-14771413

I am impressed that this made it all the way through production to just before release with not a whisper on Taobao!  Gives me hope that there may be other ponies coming up that we missed...

Chunky Dash! She looks odd in a lot of ways but her bulkiness makes her so charming, It would be sweet if Flutters got the same treatment.
Title: Re: Flip & Whirl Rainbow Dash
Post by: prancingstag on December 05, 2013, 03:45:45 AM
Wow, chunky Dash! I'm guessing this is an expansion of Walkin' Talkin' Pinkie Pie to other characters?

Her chubby proportions and general pose make me think of the surprise twins Mommy pony. :lol:

Oh I think you are right!  Is the walkin' talkin Pinkie $19 too?

I'm a little sad she is going to be so big- I do like the idea of a plump RD pony, but not enough to get a huge one.

No idea! :lol: WTPP is priced anywhere between $30 and $40 here in Australian shops.

Okay so you were absolutely right- she is like the Walkin Talkin Pinkie-

The dimensions of the box are the same, as is the price.  Also- the symbol and face design are similar.   They may have the same body dimensions too- although for some reason the Dash design just looks chubbier to me  :biggrin:

I feel it's coz her legs are splayed out that she looks chubbier...
I thought I didn't like it but now I see that Pinkie would be like it too if her legs were in the same pose I feel bad for not liking her. They both have adorable faces though so thats enough for me :biggrin:

Lol hasbro, might even be more ugly than walking talking Pinkie, I knew it was the same type as soon as I saw the picture. Not interested for sure.

I have no idea why, honestly I don't, but this is one of the most horrifying pony toys I have ever seen somehow. Don't mean to offend anyone who finds her cute...but...something about her sets off my creepy radar. Maybe it's the face? I don't even know.

if you are serious about getting the pinkie pie to go with her don't buy one! I saved one from a thrift shop and I will send her your way for like $5. (all she does is manage to freak my dog out when she walks and talks, no good can come from her being at my house)

She's cute, though I must say that any time a toy is said to "flip" I can't help but think of those little toy dogs that do that.

Consequently I'm picturing this RD barking and wagging her tail after every flip. XD

If RD talks like the PP ,I'm sold LOL, That PP is a riot to look at and listen too while she is walking and bobling her hair :) LOL

I think she is adorable, can't wait for her to come out.

I love her face, but I can't get over how cheap those wings are. I may get her... When she's majorly reduced, like I've seen Pinkie recently :P
Title: Re: Flip & Whirl Rainbow Dash

I'd like to see a video of how wild her flipping gimmick is... It actual sounds dangerous.  "Ages 10+" maybe if you don't want your 5 yo getting a whirl face kick!

Ughh... not a fan at all :/ Though her open mouth is a nice little change (I forgot if pinkie had that too?)

Thank you for sharing!

She looks neat, but there's two vital questions I need answered:

1. When she flips, does she land the right way 'round?

2. Where is the battery compartment located? :P

The Rainbow Power line is hitting stores now - most of them will be December/January but she is probably expected pre Christmas.

I find the majority of the talking pony toys a rip off (although I don't own any,so this is kind of a weak argument lol) because they really don't do a lot for the money paid! Voices/phrases are usually quite off too (ahem,Princess Celestia).

Heavy plastic toys flying up into the air at little kids under 4 feet tall who are not much off the ground themselves... not a good mix I'm afraid. I hope this doesn't go the way of the original Skydancer dolls. I remember many a black eye, grazed cheek, and screaming whilst running away that particular 90s Christmas. :lol: Although our family never did get into lawsuit territory, there was no permanent damages wrought.

Funny I never had problems with the original Skydancers... then again I might have been a bit older than some of the kids getting them... either that or I was just a really smart kid XD

Anyway, yeah I foresee some... um mishaps with this one XD Kids standing too close and getting hit somewhere... yeah

I was also hit in the face by my Skydancer! Why did we have toys that tried to beat us up? Strange thing is, I loved her anyway... once I learned to hold her at arm's length! :P
