I never saw her as "mentally challenged" or anything like that. That's society trying to ruin everything by being "politically correct". You can make negative connotations for everything if you look hard enough.

I just look at her as silly and goofy. Clutzy and ditzy. Meaning well, but not always being able to do things right.

She'll always be :muffin: Pony for me. I can't think of her any other way or by any other name. I have such a special place in my heart for that silly pony. I haven't liked any ponies since the G1 ponies, so that's saying ALOT. :P

Oh, I didn't know we weren't allowed to say that word on here. :( I hope I didn't offend anyone.

I was very confused by the title of this thread ... that's actually why I came here today. I saw it was an old thread from a week ago, but a MILLION people were posting here. I was actually wondering why it WASN'T called derp watch. :P

I've been thinking alot about this Derpyy thing. The fans in the community say that Hasbro is "stupid" for not making enough to meet demand. But I don't think that's right. I think hasbro is EXTREMELY smart. Selling out of Derpyy in 10 minutes flat just makes you want her more, doesn't it? DOESN'T IT?!

What they're doing is creating even MORE demand. It's absolute GENIUS from a marketing standpoint.

Maybe it's because I come from an advertising background, but I see the comicon Derpyy as Hasbro "testing the waters" with Derpyy to see how well she does. My prediction is that the Comicon Derpyy will be a limited edition, but that since she passed their little "marketing test" with flying colors, that you'll be seeing merchandise of her popping up all over the place in stores like Hot Topic and FYE, stores that market toys to adults.

I mean, look at Gir from Invader Zim. Nickelodeon would let hot topic slap him on toilet seat covers if they thought the crazy gir-fangirls would eat it up. I predict that we'll see something very similar with Derpyy. Her name may have offended, but the pony herself is a money printing machine for hasbro. And they know that.

It sucks that a bunch of people missed out. But I hope you guys and gals don't think that Ditzy Doo is going to be a never-again-exclusive. The fashion style one might be the G4 equivalent of Rapunzel... but now that Hasbro is POSITIVE that they have struck gold with this character, they're going to market the living bejeepers out of her.

My point...
Please don't feel so bad about missing out. I felt terrible about missing out on the prototype Ditzy Doo because I thought I'd never get my chance at one. ... and now she's all over ebay if you're willing to pay for her.

I could be totally wrong, but I believe you'll all get a chance to own a derpyy, even if it's not the FS style sized one. :)

Hey Soul Sister. It comes on the radio about 7,000 times a day. The company I work for refuses to change the radio station. I want that song eradicated from the face of the planet so it can never be heard by me again. Ever.

I'd totally join the group. I'm not a custom artist, just a regular artist. ... but I'd love to be a part of it. I'm xkappax over at deviantart as well, so if this happens, someone remind me to join? :)

Heh heh.. Hasbroken. I'm sorry, I'm late to the part, but that's hilarious. I'm using that the next time Hasbro screws up. And there will probably be a next time. :P

I enjoyed hanging out with you all today. It's really a huge rush waiting for something like this, isn't it? I remember waiting with my friend who was trying to get into the Pottermore beta, and I didn't even want to be in the beta, but the adrenaline rush was still there for me. I'm really sorry for those who didn't get them, and congrats to those who did!

LOL your as bad as I am.  Im constantly doodling sailor moon at work.  I have volumes 5 and 6 waiting for me but Im in the middle of reading something else at the moment.

I remember the Sailor Moon RPG was a really good game. I guess I'm probably weird, but Sailor Neptune was always my favorite!

Lol, at least this is coming from a legitimate hasbro dealer. Back in April, you definitely didn't actually have a derpyy until the thing was sitting at your house. (As I, unfortunately, found out the hard way)

Dizzy could never replace me beloved Chocobos! I just love the birds too much XD
I love chocobos, too. I was just making my own version of ff6 just to mess around, and I was like "hm, why not? :P"

On a kind of Derpyy related note, I edited Final Fantasy 6 so that the chocobos you ride on are now the Derspter :)

Just thought I'd post a diversion for you whilst you waited. :)
