Thank you!
I guess they really didn't bother naming them at all. Like how they didn't bother to do quality for the mane and tail either. Hasbro itself making them is good to note too, because lots of things are 'a 10 inch plush' and also 'soft' --  I'm not sure how they decided to be that generic. But, this information is def. good enough that I will be able to at least get it seen on ebay or so, and hopefully get it into a good home.

Does anyone remember what the price of these were at Target?
Target (and I think walmart too) for a while had the Shopkins unicorns like Ringa Bell, Candy Clops and Popsicorn etc. They all had a similar doll from the same line, but weren't packaged together. (good) I collected these, but I threw out all the receipts. Prices on them are climbing (but why) so its like 16 dollars and 13.99 and stuff, but I think Target had them for what, 7.77 or something? I KNOW they weren't any kind of 8 dollars or so.

I'm wondering because I'm trying to sell 2 of these at cost and can't find the real cost.
Does anyone remember how much they were when they were normal at Target?
There isn't even an equivalent out now like 1 normal doll or something from the line. And the website doesn't have it either.

*Also 5 below has the Tropicorn and Popsicorn for 5 dollars now which is reasonable, if you like these and can't get them.

How interesting!
I think this little figure is neat, and I do appreciate an effort but it seems kind of odd timing. Like however many people were clamoring for an actual 'g1 pony' for yeeeears and now that the popular StrangerThings and BasicFun are proving what Hasbro never believed (that people are clamoring for actual g1 pony) now Hasbro finally decides to dabble their toe back in.

And, in typical fashion, botch it up a bit.
No, this isn't a g1. Yes, it's cheaper because it's tiny and nobody bothered to sculpt the eye. Even the McDonald G3 had sculpted eye! MCDonald! That yellow clown did it, and Hasbro not. It's not terrible but you can't call it "literally a g1" because it isn't, and that (also typically) is what they're trying to do. I agree with labeling her "Retro Style" or whatever, because that's really what this is. Retro Style. And what gets me is that probably nobody would have minded. Especially at Comic Con, it wouldn't sell a single less or more unit if it didn't false-claim 'it is a literal g1 exactly like old'.

But, typically, a fan is the least likely to be fooled by pulling cheap wool down, and a fan is also the one that cares the most and is the biggest stickler for detail either deleted or added. A fan is the greatest friend of a product (talk it up everywhere/popularize) or it's greatest foe (complain everything/rant online) so doing right by them ought to be priority #1.  Like not having actual dark purple glitter stars or talking about where the neck seam is. THAT is the stuff of real fans. But...if a fan is who you're trying to rope in...it bears more thought than maybe it was given.

But a question or two since I also haven't cared about a release in so long (Pinkiepie in leg warmers exactly.......)
How 'exclusive' are these usually?
Will the average fan be able to get this, like an Arena member who can't attend?
What were their previous price points? / What cost can we expect this /guess this at?
Did they typically sell elsewhere after the con?

All I recall is that ridiculous high cost equestrian doll of what...Mane Iac? Or something who was in literally 1 episode but they acted like she was the new star of the show for like 6 months where blindbox had her henchmen, she was in target, power ponies are everywhere, plus exclusive set of FS ManeIac too. Yeah that single episode was comic themed but....gee whiz.  So this set is tiny, only 2 things and tiny in size as well. It ought to be less?

I want one!
It's nifty enough and novel enough that I've got to grab this set!
It's not exactly G1, but it's pony-like enough (unlike say 1st edition Firefly-Pig & book) where they had to literally steal fan photos to trick people into buying it. ) It's certainly more pony like than the G4.
Like others, I'd be SUPER HAPPY if G5 ends up being THIS. At least it looks like a pony! Not a ball with a smiley face drawn on it. Someone is making an effort to create a horse like fantasy object. They're not there yet....but I do hope this is a bit of test the waters.

Now that Ebay has made it so that everything you put up at fixed price is "Good till Cancel", that means you can't really coordinate your listings any more if you are going away for a typical time of like a week.
Always in the past, if I was going to be away, I would just let everything expire and then list it up again upon return. But now...you can't. I don't want to tear everything down, either.

There IS a way to 'pause listings'
But then when I read about it, ebay just had some lame thing about how they put an autoresponder on your seller messages that says you're away until the date you select. Well, that's no good because by the time someone messages you, they're already having a huge fit as a buyer. And that supposedly 'takes several days' or something to even get your stuff out of the search. And the search doesn't matter anyway because the items have watchers and a watcher doesn't search, it just hits the buying key. And primarily if someone's going to buy...they'll be a watcher first anyway/good likelihood.

Now...I don't have a ton of great items or real fast seller hotcake type stuff, but there is a possibility something'd sell.
What does everybody do about this?
Does the autoresponder actually work?
Is there a way to note it on a listing without editing every single thing that's up there? I've got like 30 things.

Any advice is appreciated by maybe someone who's had to do it before...

Did you ever see a blond majesty?

Well, now you have! And two of them, at that.

I recently got these 2 strangers in on a lot of baity ponies for fixing up. I needed the pose for my project but asked for them specifically so that I could determine just what's going on with their hair.

And, it turns out, it really is original, not a rehair, and it really is that pale yellowish color. If you pull their heads off and look inside, there's a bare-minimum of pale pale greenish blue and the hair is machine-done inside.
Also notice the eye color. One has cornflower blue the other a middle blue but Majesty eye is always supposed to be purple. So it's odd to see that the eye will fade but the glitter won't.

Did someone do it deliberately?
Was it an accident?
Exactly what did it take to get the hair to do that? I've never once seen a blue pulled up all the way to odd yellow.
It won't last: I washed them (They were dirty too of course as is natural with baits) but the hair is super brittle. It crackles apart so you probably can't even brush it. It's thoroughly sun-rotted out & to do anything with them it would have to just be cracked off and removed.

But I wanted to show them before doing any customizing or the hair crumbles away because they are interesting to see.

Thank you for these super responses!
I am much encouraged. I had been reading about how thrifts often end up throwing out way more stuff than one might think (mostly clothes though) and was like 'hmm', is thrifting them even worth it if someone's just going to bin them. But, from a real thrift response that they sell eventually, that's great! I also didn't think of people buying them for party favors and things like that--they would be perfect as a trinket type thing.

I will certainly be donating these, as even at a fair in the past I had been unable to give them away and they weigh a lot/take up much space that I would rather use bringing desirable items into the fair. I do agree that they are MUCH more fun poses than the regular ones---that always bothered me too...like how can a free toy be more energetic looking than one I had to buy? They also had a good run worth of gimmicks like stickers/color change/extra colors/TAF that even the buy-ables didn't get.

+-*Its Real Goblin Hours*-+
Wow these are super weird. And confusing. I keep wanting to like stuff but can't. It's like the bodies are a good idea by themselves, they have 'pony like' limbs (finally) but then the turbo giant heads wreck it for me. Then, the style of the eyes are cute, with the hearts & glitter....but they're way too big for even the super-bigheads. And it's like how did they get from 'its a pony' to somehow "The horse is the animal known for having a perfectly spherical head"? Where does that keep coming from? I also agree that the 'nose' does look like foofy over-done lips...eerie human lips. You can see almost a good idea in there but...

Yes the 2 random princesses were Gold Lilly (Buzz-saw) and Sterling (a diamond)
Also like G4 Sunny Daze and Cotton Cloud can go up there with Skyla...they had that mold and they were gonna milk it, show be thrown to the side or not. That's super duper likely to be what they did here. Just 'baby ize' it, because everything ends with babies.
Monster high got babies and stopped,
bratz babiez and stopped,
G3 turned into 3.5 babies doing magical belching ...and stopped...
when they trot out the babies that's the end of the line it seems like so this is fitting because we know it's ending. With the show down to 'the last season' there's not likely much chance to baby-ize everyone to reinforce the toyline. Plus, their history of ignoring cool stuff in the show that would've made a great toy (changeling toys? no. Griffen toys? no. non-mane toys? no.) shows that they don't care about the show at all. Having them make sense (no wings, no symbol, no curls) would be too much effort and 'make less pretty toy' so they wouldn't be bothered.

Looking at the size/construction of the sippy bottles, I rather bet these are big. I also bet they're costly.
What a wacky thing to turn up late in the game.
