That's awesome! I know that BB set that you found at target is also at TRU Canada. Good to finally see a pamphlet with all the upcoming goodies :)

AHH Finally!  Thanks so much for posting, I've been dying to see this leaflet-  so it looks like Ribbonshy is "Styling Strands" Fluttershy- and comes with gem hair bobs and probably a cute comb with Angel on the top (at least I think that's what I'm seeing here)

Looking forward to that mini set too (except I don't really love the look of AJ or Rarity) the other ones are super cute :D

Interesting that they seem to have nixed AJ playful sized with Rainbowified hair...  ahhh- and now that I know her name I've found Target's placeholder for her with better pixs!

The only one I like in that set is DJ...the others look like a bad acid trip! We have the rainbowfied FS Rarity here as well as that blind bag set and tody they just put out rainbow brushable Cadance...her wings are super cute...you have to attach them to her after she's out of the package, but she's kinda cute with the hearts all over her!

Ehhhhhh, SOme of it's okay. I like ths copter, but probably too expensive. I'll likely get the removable wing Cadence and Twi, and the single release releases, but thats it. MAAAAYBE fluttershy with the dumb long hair, but, it's Fluttershy! I don'tt like Fluttershy. Sigh.

I'll just wait for the giant ponies.

I need Doctor Whooves!!  Anything combining Doctor Who and ponies is a-okay in my book.  I have the Funko of him, and a clay figure that I made of him.  At first I wasn't sure, but the stripes are growing on me.  I'll have to figure out a time to get to Target.

Didn't they say a year or so ago that they were going to have the toys reflect the cartoon more? Seems like that didn't commit. I like this concept, but HATE the execution. This would be really cool on new characters. And FS Rarity and Fluttershy look pretty clownish. Oh, also I hate the tinsel hair. But a line of rainbow ponies would be pretty sweet. Too bad.

Maybe AJ doesn't sell very well? She seems to always be left on the shelf (other than the one with the hat which was HTF for a while) Maybe Hasbro is sensing she's not as marketable?

I will be getting the FS Rarity for sure, but not sure about anything else, I'll have to see it all in person! Very sad about the lack of new brushable characters though :( Don't really want all the gimmicky stuff. Just give me a new character that's NOT a blind bag, Hasbro! :P

I know that Acetone got the black tattoo marks off of the Fluttershy and Luna color-on-me ponies.  So I think it may also get the markings off on these. 

What I want to know is - say, for Doctor Whooves - will he have his normal hair color under the different colored manes, or was it painted to be the base coat of his hair....

Thats gonna bug me. :/  I just want normal ponies :(

I think they are still going to make AJ and brushie size Twilicorn since they only showed the first three of the crystal motion ponies even tho we got all six.

What's on the other side of the flyer?

Locally, I've only seen that FS Rarity thus far, and only as of today. Hoping more of the line shows itself around here soon, especially the blind bags.

It seems like she and Twilight are gonna be wave 2 of these, like AJ and Fluttershy are of the masquerade set. Maybe Sunset Shimmer too? I'd love to see her with red tinsel!

FS Rarity looks far better in person outside of the packaging :) My husband bought me one for my birthday 3 weeks ago and I love her, mind you she is my army pony, but I took her out of the packaging and decided to remove the wings and she looks great :)

Lol-  so are you unhappy to see re-releases of the main characters? Or unhappy because they didn't include AJ?   :biggrin:  I've noticed that in general people complain there are not enough new characters, but when they don't release the mane six in a series, there are just as many complaints (ie with the Funko ponies)  just goes to show you can't please everyone, anytime.

I think the mane six probably sell the best, with Twilight and RD and probably Fluttershy pulling ahead of the pack.  So I'm sure we'll continue to see mostly these characters with a few others in much smaller quantities like Sunset Shimmer, Minty, Ms. Cake, Peppermint Twist,  Silver Spoon, Daisy Dreams, etc...

BTW, I was looking at the flyer again. . . the rows of solid tinsel hair look horrendous EVEN IN THE PROFESSIONAL PICS! Who is making these decisions? Though I hate Hasbro's exclusively giving us rereleases, I can see a certain appeal to putting out a version with rainbow hair. But rainbow tinsel is going to look like garbage. Even their photographers couldn't work with it!

I seriously don't understand Hasbro--they have a great toyline which is currently backed by an awesome show, yet it looks like they are putting no thought into what they actually release. I seriously feel like they're just trying to prevent us from becoming horders. Well, I guess that is at least thoughtful of them.

They should have released the tinsel ponies with the masks- then the look would be complete!

Yep they are meant to come off, it's just a saddle that sits right on her, the little bows on the sides can be turned to allow the wings to be fully out or down. Here are a couple of pics of her :)

Rainbow Power Applejack and Princess Twilight Sparkle (the little one) will be released as part of the Rainbow Power line. They just aren't shown on the leaflet. Not everything is, obviously, as the mini figure set I got it in isn't even shown. AJ & Twi. were found on Kmart's site recently though.

Judhudson, Dr. Hooves' hair appears to be painted brown first and then the color painted over. I wish he didn't have the rainbow stuff too but he's ok for now. Maybe they will release a non-rainbowfied ver. sometime. They have been sticking ponies from mini figure sets into later blind bag waves recently.

Wardah, The other side of the leaflet had a picture of Rainbow Dash to "color & decorate" and a larger pic of the Flip & Whirl Rainbow Dash. There is also a small promo for the EqG dvd, game app and mlp website on the side.

Honestly, I'm not too excited for this new stuff myself. I'm only planning on getting some of the blind bags and the mini figure sets because of the new characters. I think DJ is the only one that looks nice rainbowfied and don't plan on keeping the rainbowfied versions of the mane 6 I'll get with the sets. I might pick up the Twily brushable when she comes out but I'm waiting to see how I feel when I see her. At first I was really excited for her in the smaller mold but when I realized that in the show she is actually slightly taller than the other girls now that she is a princess and that the Cadance mold ver. has wings more like she has in the show, I'm strangely happier with the taller ver. I already have.

Post by: Galactica on December 06, 2013, 04:44:00 AM
Yep! Fluttershy will be released!

Since there isn't any saddle or other ornamentation, I'm guessing that the wing re-design will be permanent (and we will likely see it on future releases of the other ponies with wings- ie Twilight and Dash)

Post by: CupidStrikes on December 06, 2013, 04:58:14 AM
Man that rainbow tinsel is ugly, and looks like it'll be a nightmare to brush....kinda defeats the purpose of a brushable toy xD I'll still get the little Princess Twilight, though, and possibly that Rarity. I'm glad we've finally seen what's happening with that Fluttershy, though I personally don't like her new eyes or wings. The wings on the giant Fluttershy are gorgeous and it's a real shame they didn't use a smaller version of that mould.

I can't wait to get my hands on that Cadence and Twilight, though! I love those wings and the colours and all are different enough for me to justify having "doubles". If only all of the Rainbow Power stuff had such cool and interesting changes to the characters...

It's a pity the blind bags are the most interesting part of this line, and again, no new character brushables =/ Can't hasbro release say, three brushable waves, with 2 members of the mane six each, plus one or two other characters? Then the mane six are available to people who want them, and new characters are available to those who already have them...

Judging from the box art though, I'm wondering if they were originally planning to slap cutie marks all over them like on the Fashion Style Rainbow Rarity and Fluttershy...

I am more curious than ever to find out how the "Rainbow Power" thing will relate to the cartoon.  It seems way too elaborate at this point not to.

I am betting something to do with the box - perhaps a rainbow power is whats contained inside or something similar. The last 3 lines linked into the show and even G3 tended to do this on occasion.

The toys would easily hit shelves and reveal plot lines or surprises before the cartoon. Remember Sunset Shimmer? She was revealed in February at the toy show and no one knew who she was until EQG came along a few months later. A kids cartoon is not quite the same as an adult show - of course they dont want to give the game away but its more important that they have toys matching in some way on shelves when the story line is revealed.

Good point I thinnk it's safe to assume if we get a new brushable as a single that the pony will show up in the show at some point now, what if...

Or unhappy because they didn't include AJ?   :biggrin:  I've noticed that in general people complain there are not enough new characters, but when they don't release the mane six in a series, there are just as many complaints (ie with the Funko ponies)  just goes to show you can't please everyone, anytime.

I think the mane six probably sell the best, with Twilight and RD and probably Fluttershy pulling ahead of the pack.  So I'm sure we'll continue to see mostly these characters with a few others in much smaller quantities like Sunset Shimmer, Minty, Ms. Cake, Peppermint Twist,  Silver Spoon, Daisy Dreams, etc...



haha i should have specified. im more curious as to why applejack is usually missing from the assortments. and why she hasnt been re released as a fashion style.   mostly curiousity honestly :P  i hate repeats.   but i never did snag a FS applejack...  LOL

I think AJ is not very popular, so she gets left out/left for last :( It makes me kind of sad because I love Applejack! She's so snarky and hard working :heart:

I was really really hoping/holding out for a FS AJ too.  You'd have thought Hasbro would catch on (like Mattel did with skyrocketing original Monster High prices) and do a complete "original favorites" re-release.  I was really hoping they would, but that is seeming increasingly less likely...

Yeah, I get that AJ is the least popular. Even amongst the target audience. She's my second favorite out of the Mane Six so I'm really sad that all Mane Six have gotten several FS versions - but AJ is left with only one that din't even get re-released.
I own an incomplete FS AJ and I think I even got a good price for her (30€). I always think about selling her again to get some money I could spend on more important things like winter shoes... but then I look at her sweet face and I'm like: "No, I can't sell her. They will probably never make her again" ^^;

I'm not a fan of the entire rainbow line. It feels cheap to just slap on some rainbow designs and call it a day. Well, at least it's more creative than just giving them diamond shaped eye twinkles.
But I was much more interested in the translucent prototypes we saw on TaoBao. The ones that were thought to be featured in the Crystal Empire line.
I really hope we'll one day see them in stores. There is a reason I was immediatly crazy over the Target exclusive Wysteria, hehe...

One thing I like about the new line: AJ's got green streaks. I think it looks most becoming on her. And Rainbow looks nice with the tinsel. I wonder how hard it's gonna get to style that, though. I might be interested in Twilight since I'm not a fan of the "adult Luna" body (my G4s all have to be the same size).

Edit: Okay, helicopter pilot Pinkie is awesome, too! I want them to make a pony plane. Oh god, please make a crazy pony plane, Hasbro! They already made cars, so why not? :lol:

BTW, I was looking at the flyer again. . . the rows of solid tinsel hair look horrendous EVEN IN THE PROFESSIONAL PICS! Who is making these decisions? Though I hate Hasbro's exclusively giving us rereleases, I can see a certain appeal to putting out a version with rainbow hair. But rainbow tinsel is going to look like garbage. Even their photographers couldn't work with it!

I seriously don't understand Hasbro--they have a great toyline which is currently backed by an awesome show, yet it looks like they are putting no thought into what they actually release. I seriously feel like they're just trying to prevent us from becoming horders. Well, I guess that is at least thoughtful of them.

I don't know, I always get the feeling that Hasbro is being run by a bunch of pony haters, and they will do whatever to destroy the line because they are so shamed of being associated with colourful plastic horses. OK, so we do have our fair share of weirdos, but in general, we're still a community full of really nice people!

Maybe nice doesn't impress Hasbro.

Hasbro obviously doesn't hate the ponies because the ponies have always made good money and they don't hate the (new) fanbase either.
But they sure think that little girls don't need innovative toys. That's why I'm actually fond of the Pinkie-copter! It doesn't make much sense and it's still about fashion because she comes with a few clothes, but at least Hasbro acknowledges that girls like vehicles, too. The train set was also nice if you ask me.
What I really hate is that the Equestria Girls have so few points of articulation but are still supposed to go for Monster High prices. It's like Hasbro thinks: "Well, if those brats want toys that move they can always buy a Transformer. After all we have...err, two? female Transformers in the current playline. That should be enough for them."

They are releasing the same ponies over and over again. They are cute but I won't buy them. I save a lot of money by only collecting 1 or 2 here that I really really like. I'm old school, I miss the days of brushables and different sets. They are cute though.

Oh, yes! My favorite one is Applejack!
I also like the new alicorn Twilight mold, and it's good to see she will not have to be sold in sets like the other princesses. However, the horn needs to be longer and the wings bigger. Still, though, this is certainly the prettiest Main 6 re-release I've ever seen.

Oh, I didn't know about that! And it was even an RC plane, omg! :biggrin:
This is exactly what I want for G4. If the Pinkie-copter was RC I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

They already repainted one of the G3.5 cars and released it again under G4...so we can hope they may do the same for the plane perhaps :) You know Hasbro...they love to recolour and re-release.

I love this, only a very few blind bags for me, whatever guess they don't want our money is it so hard to recolor molds they already have to give us new pony brushables?

There are only a few things that I want from this set. The giant Fluttershy, Flutter Cadance, Fashion Style Rarity and the Blind Bag Rarity that comes in the blind bag set. There are probably a few blind bags I want from wave 9, but I haven't seen pictures of the set yet so I can't be sure.

   The wave 9  is showing up at Target now as well. is nice since Hot Topic is double the price on these BB, There are some repeats on this wave ,like Notewhorthy I already have him , some from this wave will be nice to add as well  but not all of them
I think I'm kinda only collecting the Pegasus and the boy ponies these days or some special Characters like Flim Flam and Granny Smith on wave 8 ,So I will probably go for some pegasus on this wave as well :)

there are some pics of them at  http://www.strawberryreef.com/Index/G4/IndexBB.html#wave9
