Title: New MLP lines 2016 (Yay stock pics!)
Post by: Wardah on January 06, 2016, 12:18:19 PM
So next month will be NY Toy Fair. And that means news on what's coming out later this year. Unfortunately it is only open to the toy industry and the media. Does anyone know of any bloggers who are planning to attend?

Anything anyone is hoping to see? I'm personally hoping for more Equestria Girls Minis and more of the translucent pearly brushables and more regular Equestria Girls.

I'm also hoping for the minis, as I'm really impressed with the EqG minis! They also seem to be selling well enough that there's no reason for them not to make more. For those of us who like EqG but don't like the dolls, this was a God send! Give us Sunset Shimmer, Hasbro!

I'd honestly like to see more blind bag mini sets. I love the Pinkie and Applejack family ones, now I'd like to see Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Twilight get their own!

As always, hoping for more characters to get brushables and for some more fashion style ponies since those are my favorite.

As for non-Hasbro pony things, I'm hoping to see some new stuff from Funko. Maybe a glimpse of the Nightmare Moon and Chrysalis vinyls assuming those don't get released within the next month. :)

Whoa, already? It feels like the last one was just yesterday! ...including the previews for the Big Mac pop we never saw again  :hmm:
I agree on the blindbag sets and sparkly brushables. 4 new Explore Equestria singles were listed somewhere recent,y, including 3 new characters - maybe we'll see them?

I would just like to see more of anything that is not the Mane 6. Although really, I'd not be too disappointed if they made Water Cuties of every character, lol.

I'm dreading this because of the MH reboot.  :cry:

Pony wise I guess more water ones. I don't like G4 so idrc what they do, but the water ones with the glitter and stuff make me think of cups I had as a kid from Disney World so those are cool.

There is a whole slew of rumors going around about the MH Reboot, even one that said the doll reboot is only for outside the US..

As for MLP, I'm hoping they will FINALLY have boy brushables.. we have been asking for boys for over 5 years now XD

I hope the reboot won't be here! I mean I'll feel bad for international fans and collectors, but lol...I'd been on the fence about wanting to collect the actual dolls (currently I only collect the vinyls), but since I heard about the reboot, I've been frantic thinking about how to figure out which ones I want most and how I can get the money to buy them while I still can, lol!

Aaaaaaaah this has been on my mind sooooooo much! Im so excited!!! I hope some NEW ponies will be shown that we haven't seen leaked or revealed yet! I can see the translucent ponies and the Explore Equesteria toys being officially revealed but I hope there is something cool that will blow my mind! Last year I fell in love with the Funko Hikari Rainbow Dashes and the Toys R US exclusives. I wonder what 2016 will bring for us out of the Hasbro factory! Maybe less Pinkie Pies?
 :silly:

Im also excited to see new Monster High Dolls and hopefully a new line of dolls! *squee* I want more Zelfs too!

EDIT (again): I just got some Dead Tired dolls in with new Box Art! I'm not sure if this is the reboot people are talking about but here are rereleases! I looked up my modular sheets and saw I have the Gloom Beach dolls coming too!

I haven't seen any new dolls with new eyes though.

*Has the Toy Fair only been available to a select group of people this whole time? I thought you could just buy the tickets and hang out there for the weekend like most conventions! xD

EDIT: As far as the reboot dolls being exclusive to international releases, I can confirm that is false! Its happening in America too! Check these out, I JUST got these in! New boxart!
From what I understand the reboot is for the show in the US, a lot of MH people were in an uproar when leaks for changing the dolls were happening too. From what I heard, so far the US will be getting re-releases of previous lines... but no changes to the dolls really (the update changed mostly the eyes and a few other things in the dolls according to the leaks which upset several of the fans...)

We can only guess what will really happen after a certain point.

I'd love to see more non TRU Zelfs.. If I'm going to get something most of the time I want to see it in person first and there is no Local TRU in my area...

You guys think we will get to see more new pony characters that are normal bushables?
Title: Re: Toy Fair 2016 is coming!
Post by: Princess Lala on January 06, 2016, 08:05:07 PM
^ Oooooh okay, thanks so much! I had to google they new eye pattern thing and saw what you meant! I edited my original post so I don't confuse people. I guess reboot and rereleases with new art are different. Well I guess I am a little happy that I haven't seen any of the newer eye patterned dolls here in my new modular freight! I'm glad they are re-releasing the older doll lines though as I missed out on so many Draculaura dolls I wanted!
Title: Re: Toy Fair 2016 is coming!
Post by: Flitter on January 06, 2016, 08:13:20 PM
I hope to see new brushable ponies, hopefully without any crazy gimmicks, and will hope they will actually show in stores before the year us out this time   :pout: I'll be interested to see new mini figures even though I've kinda only been very selectively collecting them lately, and new funko ponies even though I've stopped collecting them completely. Well, unless they make the accurate color mystery minis more available.

@Princess Lala yep toy fair has always been an industry only show, never a public con.

As far as non- MLP, I'm interested to see what EAH will be up to for the upcoming year.

The new faces remind me of Sweet Screams which is one of my favorite lines so yeah I'm biased and the bodies are getting new details like Clawdeen getting a furry texture on her arms and Cleo getting molded wraps. That's not what has everyone worried. Most people are upset about the unarticulated arms and the lack of outfit details on the budget lines and most of all the overwhelming overabundance of Draculaura and Frankie.

Post by: Shimmer Mist on January 07, 2016, 01:21:23 AM
I'm excited for Toy Fair but it's not exactly for MLP. I'm not even gonna let myself get excited excited for new characters in the brushables since the likelihood they'll be released in the US is so-so. Everything else that WILL make it to the States I hardly have any interest in. EQG isn't my thing and I've stopped buying the solid minis/blindbags. I'm really only looking forward to whatever whacky set will be the new TRU exclusive.

 @ SD_dreamcrystal,
Oh hey I juuuust got in some new MH dolls- something called a Designer Boo-tique set with a Frankie Stein doll in it. She has no articulation in her wrists or ankles, but her eyes are the old eye pattern and her stitches are moulded onto her plastic and aren't even painted! D= Seeing her in person versus the older Frankie Stein... I can see why people are disappointed! I'm sure we will see more like this at the Toy Fair!

Also in work I got in the Swan Boat Pinkie Pie Explore Equestria set and a flat playset with Rarity! My telzone won't let me find a price on them, so I will have to wait to put them out. I'm sure we will find out more about these from the Toy Fair photos too!

Does anyone know if they are really bringing back Pinkie Cooper and Novi Stars dolls? I think I would freak out if they revealed more at the Toy Fair! Excited about any dolls besideds EQG dolls just in general! I wish the Fair really was open to the public, I would so go.

Yeah the non-articulating dolls started with a basic line recently.. they look cheap and I saw some of those recently.. molded stitched are icky

I'm sure we will see more gimmicky ponies, like the Articulated ones.. and of course more Explore Equestria

I'm hoping for more of the mini sets.  I want lots of buildings, especially the library tree. 

I'm also hoping for new brushable characters.  I hope the TRU set moves away from having themed designs all over them.

Post by: Mirnyj on January 07, 2016, 04:22:05 PM

Yes!!  I am in love with these things and can't wait to see if more of them crop up at Toy Fair! :D

As far as non-MLP merchandise, I'm hoping to see new Disney Princess Little Kingdom figures, and new Star Wars Black Series figures.

Count me in as another one who's not too excited for Toy Fair this year because of the MH reboot

But I do want to see the 'Rockin' EqG minis.
And I am interested to know if they'll show anything regarding the 'Legend of Everfree' thing that was announced a while ago.

Post by: Wardah on January 07, 2016, 09:21:22 PM
With MH usually I'm like "Oh I can't wait to see everything, I'm sure it will all be amazing!" but this year I'm like "I hope there are at least a few things that will wow me." Like I'm still hopeful but there is a bit of uncertainty to it this year. Of course I don't have any hang up on the new faces (I love them because they remind me of Sweet Screams) so it's really the articulation and their outfits I'm focusing on.

But when it comes to Hasbro I'm actually really excited. Like I can't wait to see what they have for MLP, LPS, and Disney. And a few other companies also have things I'm looking forward to.

LPS is meh to me... bobble headed pets...
MLP... really just depends... I'm glad they are now trying to add at least one new character per wave... but it also depends on the gimmick they use... I cringed with the water winged ponies and while the articulated ones is not a new concept, it's a good one if it is done -right-... My issue with Hasbro gimmicks is how they are done..

What can I say, I'm a sucker for cats. Tho sometimes a non cat one will appeal to me like a sloth or platypus.

I already have the glowing ones I wanted. I actually almost completed the Bratzillaz I wanted. I just need Wave 1 Cloetta and a few later ones that were only at Kmart and TRU. What about Pinkie Cooper or Cutie Pops?

Back on the Toy Fair topic I heard Care Bear Cousins might be a thing this year.

Pinkie Cooper, yes we get them in time to time! Its usually Pepper or London Pinkie. Cutie Pops I haven't seen in a while!

I would looooooov them to bring Pinkie Cooper back.That line had so much potential, would have loved to see new canid breeds put into the doll line!

I have strong feelings about the Hasbro Disney Princess dolls. I have always hated the Mattel princesses and would only buy my kids the Disney Store dolls that look way better. I actually love the Hasbro dolls and think they're absolutely precious. Their little mini doll thingies whatever they're called are too cute for words, too. I adore those.

Oh, that's interesting! I wonder what kind of product will be there compared to Toy Fair itself.

retail areas will allow attendees to purchase show exclusives, limited edition products, and rare variants of beloved toys and games.
Wondering if this be like Comic Con with exclusives. :blink:

Sadly, Hasbro is not attending the UK Toy Fair this year. So we will likely not see anything new from this fair. (Patiently waiting with all my ponies for news of new ponies. I have patients only because I have distractions, other wise I would be wanting the fair to be tomorrow. ;))

They do have a distributor representing them tho. I think they weren't able actually be at both because Nuremberg is like right after it so they got their biggest UK distributor to represent them.

As people said earlier, the MH reboot is not making me excited... I hope it's only an international thing too... The reboot look so bad...

As for MLP, since last year had Fashion Style Coco Pommel, I am looking forward to MLP stuff. I hope it won't be like the year Rainbow Rocks was out and it was all EQG junk! The US hasn't been getting too many brushables in and I want more! I want to see a fashion style Lyra or Trixie, because it's something that is likely to happen and it's something I would love to buy! Maybe I shouldn't say that... or they won't make it! XD

My friend is keeping tabs on the MH stuff because of being an active collector of the dolls.. so far what has been leaked from one blogs at the last minute is not rebooted sculpts of the dolls.. So all we can do really is to wait and see because all the information out there is getting jumbled up (at least in my mind).

If boys DO happen to get boys, this would be the year to do so Hasbro.. G1 didn't get adult boys till about year 5 and 6... G2 at about year 3 I think (though Clever Clover just looked like one of the girls), and G3 (never)... You have the means and tools, and also more importantly... CUSTOMERS that this is doable!

Corral for ponies
Toy Box for things non ponies
Dollhouse for dolls

For no confusion please keep this topic on ponies :) If you want general discussion about dolls - head to the MHArena or the Dollhouse. If you want other toy discussion start a topic in the Toy Box. We dont want cross threads. :)



Personally I pretty much expect to see everything we have seen with perhaps the odd addition to the lines/styles we have seen. I dont expect to see much that we havent already been hit with...with the exeption of perhaps the TRU exclusive line.

Fingers crossed that the TRU exclusive 7 pack is all Stallions this year! (Dreaming, does hasbro even realize how well those would sell, especially for custom purposes people would buy up several sets)

Big Mac, Thunderlane, Soarin, Dr. Whooves, Flash Sentry, Braeburn, King Sombra, etc are some ideas.

G2 had boys right from the off - Clever Clover was one of the first five G2s.

What about the "Spielwarenmesse Nürnberg Toy Fair 2016" this week?  Hasbro is there announcing transformers releases, maybe MLP too?  Anyone know?

I can't wait for the ToyFair leaks-

I think in the past the Nürnberg Toy Fair has had a few plushies, but we don't really see any of the new figures until NY ToyFair.

I THINK pony is still selling pretty well, hopefully we get some new fashion style ponies, and brushables, and I hope they keep the Funko ponies going too. I am concerned we haven't seen Chrysalis and Nightmare Moon yet, I've wanted those two more than any of them.  I hope they do another Hikari character as well!

I will say that I have a noticed a decrease in Brony aimed merchandise.  I was in Hot Topic recently and noticed a lot fewer pony items than there used to be.  Build a bear has drastically reduced their pony stock.  I don't think it's the end of G5 but I do think that those who were into it as a fad is starting to drop off.  There may not be as much merc as there was the past few years.

Well as someone mentioned in another thread, it sounds like Hot Topic is dropping the MLP license.  That doesn't surprise me since they try to focus on NEW HOT TRENDY stuff, and MLP has been around for a while now.  Doesn't mean MLP will end, just means we will see it more at the Big Box stores than at trendy places.  Bronies are old news now, lol

If they do a TRU exclusive of boys (if boys are reveled) then I would hope they have a sale of some sort for online buys :(

Which reminds me, I hope they have some paint your own coming out this year. You know kind of like the stone ones they had sometime last year or the year before!

Mostly. Cherry Berry has been a brushable before, but the other three have not. (And Starlight Glimmer and Photo Finish have been playful ponies, but not fashion styles yet.)

Interesting to see all the character diversity happening in the main line. Everywhere else in the .pdf is Fluttershy this and Celestia that.

Pretzel is a super cute name and really takes me back to G1, when names were often just one word (like Powder, Windy, etc).  Can't wait to see the new ponies!

MY LITTLE PONY GUARDIANS OF HARMONY PRINCESS CELESTIA AND NIGHTMARE MOON Assortment
(Ages 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99/Available: Fall 2016)
Royal sisters PRINCESS CELESTIA and NIGHTMARE MOON work together to rule over EQUESTRIA peacefully. Recreate

to help them raise the sun and moon each day and night, as well as entertainment inspired deco. Choose from PRINCESS
CELESTIA and NIGHTMARE MOON figures. Each sold separately. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide and on
HasbroToyShop.com.

Now this is interesting because to me it looked like they were static figures without articulation.  Unless these are a different NMM and Celestia from the ones with transparent hair?

LOL @ Nightmare Moon helping Celestia rule peacefully.  Maybe this is actually a Luna figure?

Sounds to me like these are different probably articulated versions of the two, but WANT!

Post by: banditpony on February 12, 2016, 10:22:42 AM
If you look at NMM, you can see that it looks like the legs intend to move. Since it's a digital illustration, the final product may have more articulation than that.

That said. :) There is more playskool stuff being released. I'm a happy mommy. >) My baby will have it all.

Here are the characters getting new toys, leaving out Starlight Glimmer and Photo Finish because they've probably achieved audience familiarity by now:
Spoiler
Coloratura: (major character from episode The Mane Attraction; no previous releases)

Cherry Berry: (common background character since season 1, notable for apparently owning the Twinkling Balloon and otherwise showing an interest in flying; has previously received one playful pony toy and two or three blind bags)

I'm just glad we're getting a Sapphire Shores pony. I've been waiting for this.

And I'm always happy to add new FS ponies to the herd, regardless of if they got a previous release as a regular sized brushable. As long as it isn't a rehash of one of the mane 6!

That's a lot of pink ponies, though. With such a variety of coat colors in the show, I'd expect more. Especially seeing two pink ponies with yellow hair (and we already have Cherry Pie, who was pink with yellow hair)...but, I can't complain too much.

I'm super happy to see the library playset since I've been waiting years for it.  But I'm a little dismayed that it is also going to be Nightmare Night themed.  Well, here's hoping that the Nightmare Night aspects are removable or accesories so that the library doesn't have to be themed year round.

On the other hand, I sure hope next year we get a set that is Hearths warming or winter themed.

I'm also happy to see some new names listed for the brushables. ( though, I could wish for slightly fewer pink and purple ponies.  Maybe a couple of those not shown will be blue or green.)

RAINBOW DASH
CHERRY BERRY (we have not seen her since wave 2 of the wedding ponies)
*PRETZEL (New Character?)
PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE
*SEA SWIRL (New, only been released as a blind bag)
*SAPPHIRE JOY (New, only been released as a blind bag)
APPLEJACK
*MEADOW FLOWER (New Character?)

I'm honestly really only worried about Pretzel, Sea Swirl, Sapphire Joy, and Meadow Flower... mostly about where they will show up.. Depending on which wave they fall under only two of them will show up in the US and the other two will be outside the US...

Nice to see new character brushables but that's way too much pink, I hope Royal Ribbon's toy doesn't actually match up with that pink background pony and has a different color scheme. Really hope Pretzel and Sapphire Joy won't be pink either.

I'm happy for Sea Swirl though, I've always liked her. Just hoping they finally give round-eyed unicorns their own head sculpt..

I'm not a fan of the Fashion Style size but Sapphire Shores and Photo Finish are great additions to that scale especially since they're the few ponies that regularly wear clothes.

So we finally know what that Legend of Everfree thing is for Equestria Girls.... Can't say I'm excited about a summer camp theme, but maybe the movie that will accompany the line will be surprisingly awesome.

And for the Pony line ... wow! I am honestly stunned we're getting a Starlight Glimmer Fashion Style. I do have to wonder if she'll play an important part in season 6, as some people think.

Very excited to see what all the new characters look like.

I am looking at the upcoming product descriptions and while I am happy that there will be new brushable characters I have to say good lord, it's like for every single new character they also have to release 5-10 different new versions of the mane 6/princesses at the same time as well!
Would it be too much for them to at least use some of those gimmicks lines to introduce new characters instead?

TFW2005 has a gallery of the slides from a Hasbro slideslow (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/02/12/tfw2005-coverage-hasbro-toy-fair-2016-investor-press-event-309206#more-309206).  Of course, a lot of them are not specifically MLP related, and since TWF is a Transformers board the TF slides are the ones they are most interested in.

Still, I did see some that relate to MLP, either specifically or as part of Hasbro's overall plan.

Of course I have no idea who any of these people are, LOL.  But a little Googling shows me that the first lady recently joined Hasbro, in 2015.  She is from a marketing background of analytics and techy stuff.  The second lady has been with Hasbro a while but was previously in a different division (Gaming) and was moved over to MLP in 2013 as the Creative Director.  She on the design / creative side of things.

This last slide I am including just to remind everyone to take what Hasbro says with a grain of salt.  "NUMBER ONE BOYS SHOW IN ITS TIMESLOT!!!"  Yeah, but it's time slot is 6:30 AM.

Honestly i hope they don't make Cheese for the Explore Equestria line so many better ponies to choose from Big Mac, Thunderlane, etc. We have enough Cheese atm.. blind bags, funko, minis, etc.

They also announced what is basically a poseable fashion style fluttershy. She's not as jointed as some of the ones we've seen just at the shoulders, hips, wings and neck. Also princess luna is getting a "Sparkle Bright Brushable" which seem like snowglobe ponies minus the water???? Oh and I almost forgot the picture of the new show actual train which is super cute....maybe I might get it 

I was interested the in new castle but why doesn't it come with shining armor!?

The Fluttershy looks much better than the articulated ponies they revealed last year.  She doesn't have knee articulation, but the hip and shoulder joint look much better fitted.

And yay for a bunch of new brushables.  Hopefully we'll start seeing pictures of them in the plastic as the Fair goes along.

The train looks like it uses the base from the original Friendship Train.. or is at least kind of modeled after the first one in some ways.. but that prototype image is not the same as the first train really.

As for 6" Fluttershy.. why.. why is her front leg posed bent backwards? That bend is way too low to the an elbow unless it was a HUMAN elbow

Sparkle Light Luna is a similar mold to the Water Cuties version.. except her head doesn't look turnable

Looks like that's Pretzel on the left from her cutie mark. I quite like her, she reminds me of g3 Sparkleworks?

Which leaves the middle one here as Sapphire Joy? I also like how Sea Swirl looks more purpley than pink.  :lol: So glad for some new brushies!

Edit: I wonder if these are pearly plastic like a lot of g3s were, or done with a pearlescent coating like the g1 pearlized babies?

That's Sapphire Joy, I'm sure of it. Her wiki name was "Jewel Joy," so that's a simple transition, and the cutie mark almost matches.

I'm not seeing any matches for Pretzel, but it looks like she has the same eye style as Sapphire Joy, and all the crystal mares have that same style, so she's probably from season 6.

I think the shields for the Guardians ponies are holographic if you tilt them.  They remind me of Visionaries (80s toyline). 

So happy to see that Chrysalis has real holes in her legs, not just painted on "holes".

Jointed chibi Equestria Girls, those are new right?  Looks like they have swappable "wigs."

I'm so happy they displayed all the pearly ponies! I'll definitely get Pretzel, Meadow Flower, Sea Swirl, Saphire Joy as well as Coloratura (and with Pursey Pink that's 6 brushables to look forward to this year!)

I'm still not completely sure if I want to start collecting the GoH line but Celestia looks a lot better than in the promo pic before. I was really put off by her face in that first pic but it really doesn't look that bad. She's pretty awesome. SA looks very cool, and Chryssi looks nice too... Just where would I put them if I start collecting these?!

The Nightmare Night mini figures, I'm not positive if I want any of them right now. I've been thinking of giving up or being much more selective about collecting mini figures recently because I have so so many now and no display space anymore. I don't really want costumed characters. I'm not feeling any of the blind bag "chase" figure are definite must haves at the moment. If Sweetie Belle & Scootaloo's costumes are removable I'll get them and Luna and the bat winged pony are kinda neat.

That about rounds up what's interesting to me from the Hasbro pony display. Much more exciting than last year, it's almost too bad I've gotten increasingly more and more picky about what I collect the past couple years.

They finally are doing a really good job releasing new characters now if we can only get them to reuse the Shining Armor mold! So pumped about some of the minis, and the GOH line, those FS are awesome too! Hasbro went all out this year, set up looks amazing!

I think store exclusive ponies sometimes aren't displayed at these.  I think they're more likely to show up when Hasbro doesn't have many new ponies in a year and wants to "bulk up" their display.

So many new brushables.. <3 Even though I don't want any of them (not a fan of pearly things) I'm just happy to see new chars for once.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but ASMZine has their photos up:
http://toyfair16.asmzine.com/gallery/hasbro/my-little-pony/

Anyone know who the single blind bags at the front are? I recognize Big Mac (what's with his eyes? o_O he looks like he has giant dark circles under them, haha), Golden Harvest, Cherry Berry, Lyra (I think that's her dressed as a mummy), I think the purple pegasus is Lily Blossom but it's hard to tell from this angle, and is it just me or are there two Berryshines?

What's up with Sprinkle Medley's eyes? owo

I love the Lyra and Bon Bon dolls <3 I definitely need them both. Basic Gloriosa looks nice, although I'm not sure if I'd get her or not (I'd need to see better photos). Is it just me, or is her outfit entirely plastic? That's kinda lame if it is.

Photo Finish's outfit looks great, and I'm SO glad they gave her proper glasses instead of printing them on!!! And I think I'm definitely going to have to break my 'no fashion styles' rule for Sapphire <3 I loove her. Love how they did her eyes, too.

I'm so excited for so many of these ^__^

Big Mac's eyeshadow comes because he's dressed as the grim reaper or something. (http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/b/b1/Big_McIntosh_pulling_hay_wagon_S2E04.png) The pegasus you're thinking is Lily Blossom is "Cloud Kicker," albeit without her witch's hat--she's never had a toy before, so this should be interesting.

Here's the all-white pony. (http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/d/d9/Twilight_%27we%27re_here%27_S2E4.png) (And note that just like Raven and Cloud Kicker, Golden Harvest has also had her costume reduced (no devil horns) to avoid MORAL PANICS!!! in the toy store.) The other one is definitely Berryshine (http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/1/12/Luna_pointing_at_Orange_Swirl_and_Berryshine_S02E04.png), but the ghost's identity has never been very clear.

The front-facing pegasus on the left is Sassaflash in a very nice costume. (http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/2/2f/Twilight_looking_up_2_S2E04.png)

Sprinkle Medley's eyes (and winglessness) look like they're in reference to this specific screencap. (http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/3/3e/Serena_running_away_S2E04.png)

Yeah, don't know what to think about that.  All I can make out on the box is "design a pony."  And then "100" something.  So maybe they took their ideas for the color-a-pony and pop ponies and combined them?

If it is something were you can actually design your own pony, I might be interested.  IMHO, the problem with the previous design a ponies and the pop ponies was that you couldn't actually make up your own pony.  You could only customize a given character already chosen by Hasbro.

I passed on the sweet apple acres stuff, but these are quite original. Twilight in her Starswirl costume is a must for me... too cute  :)  Cannot wait for the Guardians stuff too.

Hmmm, good work Hasbro. I salute you for trying.
Either way, there is SO much greatness this year. I'm a sucker for the pearlized ponies (they are reminiscent of Glitter Celebration), the Sapphire Shores and Photo Finish fashion styles are a refreshing addition to the line, the mini figure sets are so damn cute (and bat winged royal guard! Yesssss...) and the Guardians of Harmony figures look really neat, especially the 'big' Spike and the Celestia and Nightmare Moon figures.
Not sure what to think about the Flurry Heart stuff though. I'm still kinda neutral on her though.

My only gripe- is it just me or is there no Rarity in the pearlized ponies?  Isn't she an obvious choice to make into a pearlized pony considering the crystal empire episode?

Thoroughly, totally, 200% unimpressed.  No more ponies for me ever again.

I've heard you say the same thing about two dozen times over the past few months.  If you're really "100% done with ponies", why are you even still here?

Everyone is welcome on the Arena, despite whether they are actively collecting or not. There are many ways to enjoy ponies, and enjoy the Arena. Not everyone has to like all the new ponies that are coming out, and they are welcome to share that opinion.

I was taking a break from collecting last year, but I think these just reeled me back in.

I noticed that too. Maybe it's because she is white.

I'm going to try to keep my purchases down to only ponies I don't already have a version of.  No mane 6 or princesses!

 I might make an exception for *some* of the blind bags, any of the FS that are non-mane6, and the big dragon and Shining Armor, and Celestia and NMM.

I'm happy that we have another G3 character as a FS but I'm confused as to why that character?  Why not Minty, or Wysteria or any of the more commonly known or popular G3?

About Sapphire Shores?, well she appears at the FIM show and is an important character in a couple of episodes but she only shares the name wit the G3 pony as the G3 is pink wit light blue and white hair and a seashell symbol wit a 3d jewel, the g4 is yellow wit two tone blue colors in the hair and the cutie mark is just a single jewel

Well, we don't know if she will have the same symbol as in G3 . . . but when they do choose G3 designs, I think it's because something about the name or design just appeals to them.  Like Blossomforth never stood out from the crowd in G3, but they made a brushable of her anyway.

Again, it's this pony:

She's already been referred to as Royal Ribbon in the Gameloft game.
Title: Re: Toy Fair 2016 is coming!
Post by: Sunset on February 15, 2016, 12:17:18 PM
And yet she has never been given a cutie mark so chances are that she will get the G3 one.  Chances also are that she was given that name in game loft because of her resemblance to the G3 pony. 

Hasbro did release Daisy Dreams last year so it's not unprecedented that the choice may not have to do with the show.  After all, there are lots and lots of better known background characters they could have chosen.

otherwise i'm loving the eqg, the eqg minis FLASH and Sunset!!!!, the blindbags and i love the articulated ponies. the non-brushable ones are so sweet!! though i'll probably get a few more brushables too, if i can figure out how to customize them....

Yay pearly ponies!!! I will defiantly be getting those. Love me some shiny ponies. And a sea spray? Sorry I don't remember her name. But I've been wanting a brushable of the purple pony with two dolphin symbols for FOREVER.

And the guardians celestia and nightmare moon look awesome!!! I will most likely buy them too :)

Ah! I see, maybe Hasbro chose her because she's another pink unicorn? lol, most of the G4 non-mane 6 unicorns are pink  -_-

I really want to see the two spa ponies made as fashion size, it is very odd that we don't have them yet mostly when they DO have pink  :cry:

Wow, to me this is overall the most impressive Toy Fair preview we've had in years (which isn't saying too much, lol, but that's fine.)

I'm really glad to see Photo Finish being released with ACTUAL eyes. I'd prefer her in the smaller size but I'll take what I can get. The other Fashion Styles look nice too.

I also like the pearly ponies - not SUPER impressed with the character choices as none of the color schemes jump out at me (okay, the all blue one is actually quite pretty), but they're nice enough and I'd like to get all of the non-main 6 ones eventually. With how pearly and shiny they are, they almost look to be made of hard plastic to me. That would be weird. Hopefully I'm just crazy though!

A lot of the blind bag size figures are pretty nice, though I don't actively collect them. Some are downright confusing though - what is the deal with Sprinkle Medley? I saw that she's apparently based off a random scene from a FIM episode. That's just weird. I really wish Hasbro would put even half the effort into the brushable line that they put into these (same with the new Guardians figures).

Post by: Dragonflitter on February 16, 2016, 10:14:13 AM
-claps!- This is so awesome!

1.) I don't collect EG dolls, but that Flash Sentry fig is the cutest. I love his eyes and hair.

2.) Coloratura looks weird to me... She's supposed to be white, isn't she? Is it just the lighting, or did they use a pale blue pearl finish for her instead of white? (Same question for the giant Newborn Flurry Heart, isn't she white in other shots? Is it just the lighting that makes her look pink, or is the actual doll different from the advertising we've seen so far?)

3.) I'll still be passing on the articulated brushables and Guardians of Harmony figures. Joints on ponies just seem weird to me...

4.) Sapphire Shores! Yellow pony! Yay! I don't buy FS size, but I look forward to seeing her in stores. :)

5.) ....The princesses with the cutie marks that are obviously buttons...do you push them and they light up? Did Hasbro steal the idea from the Brazilian McDonalds toys from five years ago? lol

6.) I'm REALLY confused about that Medley mini fig... I mean, I can tell they were using a screenshot, but did the people designing the mold ONLY have that screenshot to go by? Did they not know Medley is a pegasus in every single other frame of every ep of the entire show? o.0 Such a weird mistake to make! Like, is the screenshot going to be ON the packaging and they were like "Well we have to have the toy match the package!" .....weird....

7.) A Pip figure! Yay!

8.) Opal with the Rarity EG vinyl!? Owliscious with Twilight's library!? Tank with articulated RD! .....I really wish Hasbro would release all the pets in one big thing so I don't have to buy all these other sets I don't want. XD;

Coloratura is blue on the show. I think Flurry is getting the Celestia treatment - since hasbro thinks little girls are incapable of buying anything that isn't pink, they changed her color from white :\

Wow, toy fair had so much fun stuff this year compared to the last few! There's too much to be able comment on everything. My favourite reveal is probably pretzel, she just makes me smile. The pearly ponies in general are nice. I like the new FS ponies as well.

I wonder if the new articulated ponies will have the bad hair this time around, I hope not. Twilight in the ice skates is really cute.

I don't collect blind bags at all, but I'm so happy they went with Twilight's library as a playset instead of her castle. All the costumed characters look great too, especially Spike.  :lol: It's nice Hasbro is putting more effort into their repeat characters this time.

The Guardians of Harmony toys look so much better than those promotional pictures too, the neks don't look weird. The Celestia and Nightmare Moon figures are so much better than anything put out by Funko or WLF (in my opinion).

Overall, I'm impressed. If this was what Hasbro had been putting out years ago, I don't think I would have stopped collecting G4.

Excited about the pearly ponies.  They're so beautiful!  Hoping they don't go the way of the pearly unicorn fillies.  I will definitely be getting the new characters out of that set.

The new fashion styles are nice but I've run out of room for those.  I wish we'd get a regular brushable of Sapphire Shores.

Kind of over the minis at this point, which is a shame since the Nightmare Night theme is pretty sweet.  I might get Luna's chariot, at least.

I'm very excited about Guardians of Harmony too, mostly for Chrysalis but I can't wait to see what else they're going to come up with for this line.

In my opinion...

Scores:
Guardians of Harmony
Spoiler
Fantastic surprise great fresh new line, with a stunning look, very excited for these.
Pearlescent Brushables
Spoiler
Several new characters and they looks so stunning and unique, a definite pick up for me.
Nightmare Night Collection
Spoiler
The Golden Oak Library, an accurate Princess Luna, and several more goodies, I am very excited for these!
Fashion Styles
Spoiler
Several new stunning characters to the line, Sapphire Shores and Photo Finish look amazing especially with their accessories.
G1 Vinyls
Spoiler
These are really growing on me fast the company that makes them sound super cool too and really want to give collectors G1s! Sounds like many more to come too, excited to see where these go.

Not Bad:
Equestria Girls Chibis
Spoiler
I personally don't collect these, but I think it's neat for those who do that they showed Flash, DJ, and Sunset Shimmer, I think the overkill of mane 6 is a bit much, and the lack of Sirens made this into the not bad section.
Crystal Empire Playset
Spoiler
This playset looks really good actually, I love the fact its not all pink, my issue is that Princess Cadance is a plain old boring version and not a Crystal Pearly version, to make this set better they should have included Shining Armor and Cadance both in Pearly form.

Fails:
Magic Scenes
Spoiler
Sorry, but everything about these to me is unimpressive mainly due to them looking gawdy and being all mane 6 an easy pass for me.
Playskool Plush
Spoiler
Not cute at all in my opinion and all mane 6 bore fest
Playskool
Spoiler
I actually really like these guys and the reason they made it into fails is because the lack of new characters I know Lemon Drop is coming, but the fact they started decently strong with other characters it seems they are slipping back into the mane 6 boring..
Equestria Girls Everfree
Spoiler
These failed for me not because I'm not a EQG fan, but because they are boring new versions of the mane 6 mainly, nothing exciting or better than the other figures, and the fact there is hardly any new characters.
Shine Bright Brushables
Spoiler
I love the princesses but these look like cheap knockoffs of the snowglobe ponies, ugly and uninteresting.
Articulated Brushable Ponies
Spoiler
Fail due to the fact they are mostly mane 6 and the new ponies are re-releases nothing new to see here.
Action Friends Articulated Fashion Styles
Spoiler
These are the worst thing I have seen this year, the seem lines look awful, akward bended legs no thanks! MAJOR PASS! Oh and mane 6.. no thanks.
Design a Pony Rainbow Dash
Spoiler
Lame. next.
Large Baby Flurry Heart
Spoiler
These always creep me out, maybe some kids might enjoy it, I just put this year due to the fact I don't like it..
New Folding Playsets

Oh, I totally agree too.  We have a bunch of designers who aren't bothering to consider horse anatomy.  But then, the show is influencing everything now and the show animators take a lot of liberties with horse anatomy in order to further humanize the characters.    And it results in toys with broken legs.  I always cringe a little at all the blind bag ponies with legs that bend the wrong way.

i agree with some of these.
my 2 cents below

want!:
Guardians of Harmony
Spoiler
i'm a huge fan of sculpted hair, and so far i think these look awesome, and i'm curious about customablity..
Equestria Girls Chibis
Spoiler
sunset shimmer and flash sentry!!!! i would probably buy each of the mane six variants too if i had the money and space. i'm curious to see if they will make some from the second and third movie as all these outfits are clearly from the first film.
Articulated Brushable Ponies
Spoiler
already have a few of these!! they are fun and i'm excited to try customizing the extra i've gotten
Action Friends Articulated Fashion Styles
Spoiler
the backwards legs don't bother me. i'm curious to see them in person and see which and how many i'll get.

will buy on sale:
Nightmare Night Collection
Spoiler
there's a few i want, just as iconic moments that i think are fun.
Equestria Girls Everfree
Spoiler
i want to see these in person or at least better pictures before i decide on them. i do love the dolls, so i'm curious what's going on with them and it there is a movie or special associated with it.

can skip, unless given to me.
:

Pearlescent Brushables
Spoiler
i guess i really only buy brushables if it's a character i like from the show, or mane 6 from an episode i like, or for customizing... otherwise... pass, but my niece might like them.
Fashion Styles
Spoiler
new body colors are good for customs, but i don't want to have to rehair one of these unless it's a commission.  :blink:
G1 Vinyls
Spoiler
yeah. don't like these. i'm an old school collector, but i don't like the adult ponies much anymore.
Crystal Empire Playset
Spoiler
don't like playsets or bulky displays, so a pass for me
Magic Scenes
Spoiler
can't find pictures of these, so no idea
Playskool Plush
Spoiler
if they had a twilight and flash sentry set. yes i would buy it. otherwise, yeah i'm ok
Playskool
Spoiler
not my thing.
Shine Bright Brushables
Spoiler
difficult to customize....
Design a Pony Rainbow Dash
Spoiler
not my thing
Large Baby Flurry Heart
Spoiler
i don't do pony plushes unless i've made them myself or had them made.
New Folding Playsets
Spoiler
my niece would like them, but i'm good.

my objectives/opinions usually differ than most pony fans, but the good news is, less competition from me. i just really don't like brushables like more people do, but the articulated ones keep sneaking into my home.

i also hope i can get the other squishy pop figures that they had in a past picture, and sunset shimmer pop figure. (not the funko one)

Can anyone compare the mould of Sparkle Brights cadance to the what was it, "Rainbow shimmer"(?) snowglobe? They look they same, yes!? Because I missed out on Cadance and Twilight snowlobe ponies and im so happy to see this little set of light up ponies has a cadance that looks similar! I love the Shining Armor one!

I love/dislike the action friends fashion styles(?). They are cute, but possibly like $14 expensive and going to take more space but I do like them!

Those smaller articulated ponies,  I might get cherrilee and Rarity but thats it xD their bodies look like hot dogs! Heehee! I only want one of each character with these.

I love those smaller pearly brushables, that pink one with the yellow hair (one of the fainting flower trio?) is absolutely adorable and im excited for Prezel and Sea Swirl!

I want the Starlight Glimmer, PhotoFinish, and Sapphire Shores brushables- ohhh myyyyy!

Oooooh so much cool new stuff!! I must have Coloratura, Pinkie Pie and her party cannon from the GoH line, light-up Princess Luna and maybe Nightmare Moon!! I take it we don't have any notion of release dates, or when/if any of these will make it to the UK?

I've kind of got really behind on collecting with G4. There have been a few things I've wanted in the last year or two but I rarely seem to find them in shops somehow and I never know if I'm too early/late with buying online (plus shipping from overseas is so expensive now.)

The most we have is that some things are listed as "spring" and some things are listed as "fall."

Celestia and Luna really do look awesome!  I really wish that the licensed g1 merch looked more like this, a detailed action sculpt,  rather than the articulated figures (not that I won't support any g1 merch.).   I wonder how much these will cost.  I hope not more than $20 each.

Out of the other LoH sets, I only want The big Spike and Shining Armor.

Did I hear that the train *isnt* battery operated?  If that's the case, I'll be disappointed.  I liked the first train because it actually runs on its own on a track.

Looking forward to the new brushables.  I'm actually surprised that all of the regular fashion styles are non-main six.  But maybe that's because they used the mane 6 for the action fashion styles.  Which is fine with me.  I'm not tempted by those at all.

I hope that the Nightmare Night set does well because I really want a Hearths Warming Eve set next year.  I also hope that we make it through all of the mane 6 homes.  Maybe we could even get some other iconic buildings like city hall and the school.  These are really what has me collecting the blind bag size.  When it was just the pony standing there I got bored quick.  Eventually, I will set up a large display with the train running through it.

Eh ipad, those are terrible to use anyway. But seriously, if their main competition is that then um they would have lost that years ago... I just think this year the focus is due to trying to include everyone (boys and girls and adults) in the lines

I wasn't just talking about Hasbro. Mattel has the DC Superhero Girls coming out too.

I also noticed a lot of things in blind bags.

Thank you very much for posting this. Definitely some of the best G4 merch I've ever seen. They mentioned the guardians of harmony Celestia & Nightmare are 8"... I can't wait to see these in person! A big action pose Celestia with a crystal mane? The pony gods have answered my prayers  :heart:   :P

Here are some more photos

I always watch this person around toy fair time because he tends to get some decent close-ups. I was hoping he'd get nice pics of Pretzel, Sea Swirl, Meadow Flower &  Sapphire Joy but sadly there aren't close-ups of those 4. There are several other other nice pics though.

I don't collect G4, but it's great to see that Hasbro's actually putting some thought into the toyline again.
Let's just hope they've stepped up their appalling quality control as well...  ;)

Oh I think that the QC is likely to get worse at least for the brushables-  judging from the new Gala ponies coming out. They look like fakies they're so bad.

But I'm hoping some of the plastic molded/poseable and other figures they showed off at Toyfair look okay- they sure look good as prototypes!
