They look great! I don't see myself getting her because she is a limited edition Australia exclusive. I live almost literally on the other side of the world but It's great that they made her. Have fun with yours :)
-
She's adorable - thanks for sharing! :heart: I hope that there will be more retro plushes in future, especially with beautiful curly hair (the more curls the merrier!)
-
She’s really cute! If she comes to a US store I will get her. :)
-
Oh she is so darling!! I really want her, I may be willing to pay the overseas shipping to get her. Alas I have to wait a bit, I can’t make any big purchases for about a month! :(
-
Ooooh, she's cute! I actually like her a lot more than the original G1 plushies (something about their faces has always bothered me). Hope she comes out in more places :)
-
She's so cute, I would love to see an Australian member pick up a few to sell here...
-
She's cute
-
I love that her head is raised up. It makes her look happy and proud, while the original G1 plushes looked so depressed
-
I love her. :lovey:

It would be awesome if they made more G1 plushies!
-
*squeal!* I love her!
Why does Australia seem to get so many exclusive plushies ? There were quite a few in G3...
-
It's probably not Hasbro or even Basic Fun but some plush company that only does business within Australia.
-
Aw, she's so cute! Wish she wasn't exclusive lol.
-
If anyone wants one, I'm happy to pick them up and send at cost, but be warned Australian post is really expensive. If they are the same size as the Rainbow Dash exclusive, expect MIB post cost to be another AU$60. Our dollar is low right now so it's not as bad as it sounds but it'll still a lot for a single plush.
Oh, and because of the travel restrictions, even express is taking a long time.
-
Omg one of my fave G1 girls... ahhh I'm going to have to try and find her haha
-
The plush looks great, way better than the actual G1 plushies who look like they want to jump off a bridge, lol.

I think it might be Basic Fun because they've been seen to have a G1 plush Cotton Candy in their office and I think there were even previous reports about them wanting to make G1 plushes.
Even though this item is currently only out in Australia, so far we having seen anything official about it being EXCLUSIVE to Australia. Looking at a high-res picture, the holographic stamp appears to say "only 4000" made. That seems like a lot for just Australia.
I would really, really suggest waiting a couple months before buying her if you aren't in Australia. You're going to feel sad if you paid a high shipping cost and then she turns up at your local Target.
-
ooo I hope these make it worldwide at some point (and I'd be over the moon if they made the entire original 6. Minty, yes please!) I love her, she's super cute!!
-

:silly:
I agree that it's jumping the gun a little to call them "Australia exclusive" (unless there's something official I've missed that explicitly describes her as such, of course). Could just be that Australia happened to get her first.
-
I mean, that Rainbow Dash plush released a few months ago was by the same company it looks like. If we could get information on WHO is producing these it might help us out.
I already anticipate getting her SOON but if she is a Basic Fun release...
-
They are made by a company called Headstart International which has Australian licencing rights. It's a fairly small Australian company. They sold a few on catch.com.au and they were coming straight from the manufacturer. So yes, Aussie exclusive.

Same manufacturer as the Aussie exclusive Rainbow Dash btw.

At first I did find the 4000 item count to be a huge number for Australia. But there are 182 Big W stores, so they could hypothetically sell out of the plush toy if twenty people bought the item at each store. Not saying this will happen, but it's not theoretically impossible?
I sincerely hope this isn't only an Australian exclusive. As much as it seems cool that my country gets an exclusive, I absolutely dislike it when *anyone* has to miss out on anything. We Aussies certainly experience this a lot when it comes to global distribution, hah :-)
-
omg :freak:
i want this so bad. I've never liked the G1 plushy's mainly because of their plastic eyes.
this is a hundred time nicer, I really hope these become world wide.
so close but so far away, i wish i could just reach over the Tasman sea and grab one :bawl:
:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
-
Looks like I'm the odd one out as I love G1 softies (exempting the Appleplause versions). I like this new one as well, but not sure if I like her enough to balance out the cost of getting her here to Canada. We shall see.
-
Does anyone know the actual size? I can't go to my local Big W anytime soon, and I can't see any dimensions on the links.
-
Aw, she's really cute :D
I'm glad that it's CC, though. I can probably live without her.
But it's also about time Aus. got something to shout about, ponywise.
And it may well be an exclusive to AUS now where maybe it wouldn't have been before. Given the state of global economies and such, it wouldn't be the first time something intended for a US market ended up somewhere else. Holly Dash springs to mind...
-
Really cute design! I'm also someone who finds that the g1 plushies have a bit of a sad looking expression.
Let's hope there will be an international release soon, or maybe even some other ponies.

The company that makes this plush doesn't seem to sell outside of Australia so it's a different case than Holly Dash, who actually did pop up in the US, just only at a small Texas chain called HEB.
-
I have the night case so I'd love to have her, then I'd have an army! However, I have no pony budget at present -_-

wait what ?? did Aus get Holly Dash? i think that was the only one G4 international exclusive we didn't get here :wonder: and i thought it was a euro only one too.
lucky them and they are getting the Anniversary retro's too huh?
-
She is soooo cute! I've always wanted an 80's Softie for the novelty (they look a little odd to me but in an endearing way! I keep my eyes peeled when I thrift) but probably will never have one, and this one is such a sweet faced, cute placeholder!
I hope she comes to other countries, as well!
-
She's here! And she's really big. I love her.

oh wow big congrats, you are so lucky. shes gorgeous and i just love the box she comes in :D
-
Mine just arrived today, and I love her! She's larger than I thought she would be. Looks like she's good quality, too. I bought one to keep MIB, the other to open and display.
For those international collectors who are itching to buy and then ship her overseas, she's not heavy but the box is quite large. Postage is unfortunately going to be very expensive.

About $30 according to the Australia Post calculator. She weighs just under a kg but is just over a kg once you pack her.
-
cool thank you for that ;)
-
So cute!!! Super excited to get her!

Same here >_< She looks so nice!

I love her and want her so much!
-
Good grief she is adorable!
-
I'm so upset I'll never be able to get her. I could never justify the shipping cost from Australia.
