If I wasn't at work, I'd post some reference pictures but these girls are cuuuute! They're also bigger than I was expecting and I love their poses. I got the set for $19.99 + free shipping on AliExpress with no issues. 
The whole set for $20!? Omg amazing!! Post Merge: May 13, 2015, 07:57:34 AMThanks for the tip Hannah, I'm hunting through aliexpress already!
And thank you Pop!star for asking about these, I'd never have known they existed. 
Hehe and starting a new addiction..sorry for that! Haha Post Merge: May 13, 2015, 07:59:16 AMI just realized the blue one has a hashtag as its symbol  too cute!

Well to be honest the rereleasing of the same ponies is absolutely killing MLP in all shops here, the amount is getting less and less in each store with some just not getting ponies at all anymore, while CMM has been a breath of fresh air with Flower Wishes and Sweetie Drops, etc, but now there's yet again loads of pinkie pies and twilights that no one is buying, I see only a few parents buying a repeat pony "you already have pinkie pie... Oh fine well your brothers getting (random toy) so I suppose..." The poor girl was looking for a new pony is the shop and settled for a pinkie because she didn't want to miss out. I've seen many little kids get dissapointed in the MLP selection and go to other toys instead. I'm pretty concerned that MLP won't last much longer here at all... It's the Ponyocalypse.
Hasbro really needs a new creative director!! I have no skills in that field but best believe I applied!!

I do wish they would have tons of different characters- like G1- but I don't think we will ever see that again.
Here's why. Your average kid is not a "collector" of ponies. She or he doesn't want every G4 pony every made. They want the ones that they know from the cartoon (which is not so secretly- a commercial).
I can tell you that my nieces were totally obsessed with ponies after watching the cartoon- and who did they want to play with (selected from my hoard) - Twilight, Celestia, Nitghmare Moon and Cadence. They were also more or less interested in having the other mane characters that they recognized from the show- but to a lesser degree. They absolutely did NOT want any of my background character ponies 
I don't think they are so different than any other little girls- who are the primary marketing target for ponies- and probably the people who most ponies are bought for.
So basically Hasbro probably does make some new characters for those kids that are new to MLP - and a small percentage of new characters for the "collectors" of ponies (or for the few kids that never tire of them).
I actually don't agree with you at all! Little girls DO want to collect more ponies, my Neice has become disinterested in MLP and moved onto other collectibles such as Monster High, Ever After High, Zelfs, and Shopkins because she likes to be able to collect all the characters. And Shopkins were you of the year last year and it focuses on collecting different characters so I totally don't agree that that's what little girls want. They want variety and new characters haha Post Merge: April 02, 2015, 07:37:58 PMAlso we could totally have the core ponies still. Moose Toys does this with the Zelfs each time they have a special wave, Masquerade, Scented, etc they release "core characters" while also bringing new characters in. That's exactly what hasbro should do. Just a few examples.. The Rainbow Rocks line should have featured a new Rainbow Dash, with 4-5 NEW ponies. The Crystal ponies should have featured Rarity with new characters, which they kindve did. Each new set would focus on a core pony, WHILE expanding new and exciting characters. A few ideas! A Candy/Sweet theme line that features Pinkie Pie, and 4-5 new ponies that highlight new sweet/Candy themed ponies. A animal theme line that features Fluttershy with 4-5 new characters. This way they can feature their core ponies, AND bring something new and exciting AT the same time. Heck, they don't even have to buy more plastic. They could reuse the 6 colors of plastics they already have and just make new ponies. Like, using plastic from Rarity and hair from Rainbow Dash you could have a new earth pony. Plastic from AppleJack and hair from Pinkie Pie for a new unicorn. It's that simple, but they're not doing it. Hasbro DOES need to focus on their core characters but also need to go back to the good old days. It just breaks my heart to sit the MLP toys sit on the shelf. All the while little girls are eating up new toy lines like the Zelfs and Shopkins because they're constantly featuring new characters.

Let's get down to the science of it y'all!!
I understand a lot if members are here now because of the G4 cartoon, and are generally new collectors. So you all may not know what us collectors went through with the end of G3 and the beginning of G3.5
Basically Hasbro did this before only releasing the same 6 ponies over and over again.
This ultimately failed and we got G4, which in the beginning seemed like they were going to release new ponies..which they did..and them immediately reverted back to the same ponies over and over again.
Every time I walk into TRU, or Target the pony sections stay untouched.
The only ponies ever bought are new ones, and I don't see why Hasbro hasn't caught on yet.
There's no need for rerealeses of the Mane6 because all those rerealeses you manufactured last new series are..still..sitting on the shelves.
Hasbro doesn't seem to realize why MLP was popular in the 80's because it was a collectible toy.
Now everything just sits on the shelves until it clearences out.
Hasbro, if you'd put something new ok the shelves you might make a sale.

Checking in. 
What did I miss? I've been sick for an entire week. First my kid was sick, then I got sick. Ugh. Anyway, has anyone seen the 2014s in the United States yet? I haven't been able to check my Toys R Us this week.
Wave2 won't be in the US until the end of february

Got my Zelf in the mail today from Moose Toys! Though they said they'd send Owlmanda we got a Teenie Genie instead. Grr, can't complain over free stuff but Genie looks just like PegaSue :x

Wow there's quit a few spelling mistakes/errors in this new leaflet.
They first started off with a play on words of "tree" and "tipi/teepee" and literally made te word "Tree Pee" which then upset my Neice so I sent them in an idea to combine both spellings of "teepee/tipi" and "tree" and call them "Treepi's", it just sounds cuter anyways!
But now I'm seeing they misspelled "playground"..tsk tsk.
Hey, Moosetoys, ya need a proof reader!!? Will work for Zelfs!

Why not just go check out the toy isle of your local Target/TRU etc. and see what appeals to you? Or if you want to get into older dolls, Ghost of the Doll is a great ID website for 80s/90s toys. Spend your money on a doll line that YOU find really pretty/cute/cool to look at.
Well, I've done that, but I'd like personal suggestions too, ykno?

I collect Pinkie Cooper along with ponies. I am not sure if you would be interested in her. I also had a collection of quarter machine crap
Great suggestion! I think I'd much prefer her friend Pepper, though. She's a similar theme but not typical blonde and pink! Thanks again! Post Merge: January 17, 2014, 07:16:19 PMWhat kind of price range are you looking at? Do you mainly prefer play line toys?
I mainly collect Barbie (especially 80s & older) & other vintage dolls. But there might be some other 80s/90s dolls that'd fit with what you collect?
I definitely am not a fan of paying more than $10 for a doll. $5 is ideal! I was able to get so many Barbies this Christmas for $5 all of 2012's Fashionista's! Post Merge: January 17, 2014, 07:17:13 PMAh! I love froggystuff! She inspired me to be a little more creative with my shelves. You have a nice collection!

She actually inspired me to start the bookshelf dollhouse, and thank you I really appreciate it! Have any pictures of yours? Post Merge: January 17, 2014, 07:19:03 PMMH is fun (and addicting!). Rochelle would fit in very well, she's so sweet!
If you do look at 80's dolls the Moondreamers would be perfect (esp since the two little ones share MLP Molly's head/body mold) Showing off mine:

Oooooo, Thanks for the link; I had never heard of her!!! Good reviews are Priceless!! 
Oh thanks, I try my best to have a meaningful collection! I'm not a competionist, I like to have things that have a meaning! Post Merge: January 17, 2014, 07:22:30 PMWhat a fun-looking collection! 
As for collecting ideas, what about toys that work with the ones you already have? Whether it's in terms of style or size or just complimentary colours - that way you could collect some MH (or other lines that you aren't an overall fan of) but not feel that you needed to own the whole series, since that wouldn't be the goal of your collection.
But then, I'm a fan of eclectic collections - your desire to be a completionist may vary!
Yes this is exactly what I want to do! I think Zelfs inspired me to start collecting MH, because it's almost like they match! Even some Zelds match out ponies! I love suggestions though, if you think there's a doll or you you think would look great on my shelf! I have a $25 GC burning a hole through my pocket!
