I was just at Toys R Us and they have some new items out. A few I don't think we've seen yet, at least not in package. I was there on Tuesday so I know these were just put out in the last couple of days. (And boo that they put these out right after I spent my $5 that I had been trying to hold for something new.:(. )
Looks like the new TRU exclusive line is called "Elements of Friendship." I found Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy, brushable size. Presumably, there will be all of the mane six. They are coated in glitter on the outside. They are opaque, not simi translucent like the regular line is supposed to be. They each come with a different accessory.

I didn't actually purchase anything, though I really wanted to get Sapphire Shores and the Library. I'm trying to wait for when there is a sale.

These another thread already started so I imagine this thread will be merged into that thread. I wonder what differences the single ones have from the ones packed with the dolls?

I'm afraid that I didn't take a really good look at it, so I can't answer that question.
Oh, wait! There he is right below the moon.
-
This feels like the first in a long time that something was spotted in stores before online! Thanks for sharing the photos!
I still hope for a new character in the EoF series. Hopefully we'll know the full line soon. We're still missing Twilight from the mane 6 brushables so possibly there can still be more to come.
-
Oh look. The brushables are probably the exact same six ponies again. Yaaaay. -_-
-
Why does Fluttershy have those really staring eyes :S it's really throwing me off XD
I love the library tho! Do I spy dress-up as Starswirl the Bearded items behind Twilight?
-
To bad there are no TRU stores in my area at all. :mad:
-
I was just searching around toysrus.com and they have 4 new Equestria girls listed. Looks like they are $12.99 and maybe from the same line? I might order one BC they look so hippie/boho style. :lol:
Edit:. They are listed as Legend of Evergreen. Im on my phone so I can't grab pics too easily but maybe someone can update later on.

I love this so much. Does it only fit the blind bag ponies or does it fit the brushables as well?

Considering how much cool stuff the regular toy line has come out with this year, the store exclusives have been pretty lackluster in comparison, with the exception of the Wonderbolts stuff that ought to be coming to Target soon.
That said, I do like Rarity's little outfit. And of course, I have to get Pinkie.
-
I don't think the 3 singles are going to get released with the doll after all. Just RD and AJ.

Wait, Sapphire Shores is already in stores?!!!! :shocked:
-
I like the glittery rarity! Thanks for posting!
-
I do love Sapphire Shores :) I cant wait to pick her up!
-
Digging that library like wow. :D
-
I don't think the Twilight pony comes as a regular mold brushable single and since her EG Mini comes in a 4 pack she probably isn't getting a Mini and Pony pack. I wonder if she is gonna get a princess mold brushable in a fancy box.
-

Yes! So cute.
I don't think the library is an exclusive since I bought it somewhere else- it is SO cute but very small and detailed on the front but very shallow and empty in the back just like the barn for the AJ set.
-
No, none of the items are exclusive except the first three pictured labeled Toys R Us on the boxes.
-
I really like the glittery look on them! *is a sucker for shiny things*
Alas there is no TRU near me, so I won't be tempted :P
The Sapphire Shores FS is really cool though!
-
I grabbed the new FS yetsretday, and it seems hasbro has cheaped out yet again with the clothing. It's now all 2-piece, hard plastic, snap-together clothes, and it's fairly easy to see on display since the pieces have an obvious seam where they meet. They're also a right pain to get on and off the pony. Very disappointing, imo.

I dunno if it's cheaping out since tbh plastic is more expensive to make than fabric. After all even dollar store dolls have fabric dresses. I do remember hearing someone at Toy Fair talk about how the new hard plastic snap on clothes are easier for children to put on than the old rubber ones. So I guess it's more a "dumbing down" than anything.

I'm not all for accessories (I prefer naked ponies :P) but if anything wouldn't cloth be easier for a child to put on? Its not like they're putting pants on the pony...
-
I don't think Hasbro is "cheaping out" with the plastic clothing. I think plastic toy clothing is easier for young children to snap onto the pony, as opposed to wrestling a pony into a fabric dress. (I remember getting a baby pony into the G1 dragon suit was a real pain in the butt.) Don't forget that the MLP demographic trends younger than it did in the 80s.
-
I thought the soft plastic clothes were much easier, since all you had to do to get them on the pony is bend them a little. You have to force these to get them on, and they pop off very easily.
