I want to buy them all.  I forgot are these being sold in stores or only on their website?  Are they being sold individually or a few ponies to a set, also are they going to be blind boxes or do we actually know what we're getting?

This is what i remember from the old thread, They will be in retail locations and also on the website. They will probably be individually boxed, and they will be blind boxed. You will also be able to buy them as a set of 16 as well.

Also I found a review of one of TLS's blind box TMNT figures with a ton of pictures for those curious about the general quality.

Oh good, I'm so glad! I need some of these, especially Princess sparkle!
And they seem like a great company who really seem to care which is great

They care more about us then Hasbro does that's for sure. I'll pick some of the set up just cuz of that. My daughter is eyeing Firefly for a custom and she wants Lickety -split and she wants a unicorn as well. I sure would like to have Sundance or Snuzzle.

Still having a hard time getting over those proportions.

They definitely are. I have talked to them in the past once or twice and they were similarly polite and nice to contact. They also said back at that time that they were taking peoples' feedback into consideration, such as the colors and proportions. So who knows, maybe they've tweaked some things.

I think they're really cute either way, and thrilled that g1 collectors are getting a chance to collect something new and good quality.

Honestly the boiling method has worked wonders for me thus far.
Prime example:

 (excuse the spoon, i didn't want to use tongs or pliers for dunking.)

I stuck this poor baity rosedust in a pot of boiling water and then cold water. Did that a few times, brushing it out, that whole thing. It didn't work for a while. Then when i was pretty much like "welp, guess i should cut my losses and see is she looks good with shorter hair...it started to defrizz!

This was the end result. It took me a WHILE to get there. A good 20-30 minutes of dunking and combing out and repeating. I think it took so long because the hair was so so bad?

I stopped when most of the water had boiled away and I was tired of working on this. So she and a few other crunchy hair ponies I have are eventually going to get dunked again.

The process was
Put hair in boiling water for a bit, 10 seconds at most while moving it a bit.
Dunk in cold water, and while I am not sure if the cold water actually fixes anything, it does take the heat out of the water in the pony's hair. Which is a good thing, because the water beforehand is boiling hot.
Brush out pony's hair straight, a comb is probably best.
Repeat a number of times and hope for the best.

Afterwards conditioning the hair with something that is good for dry and lifeless hair and leaving it in for a while is a good practice. The product i used made another pony's hair who was just sorta dull and dry all silky again. I used it on Rosedust, and it worked well on the fixed parts, otherwise it didn't change the crunchy parts.

Now a question similar to the OP's is:

Anyone got any advice for this Build a Bear RD's hair?

(I found her at a Good Will.)

Her hair is totally wrecked in its current state, I am thinking of boiling it like i did with my rosedust. But does anyone know if that will negatively affect the plush?

Hey guys, I got a reply from TLS a few days after I sent them a private message on Facebook. I was mostly saying what others here were saying about design issues and also being blind boxed. I suggested doing packaging similar to the re-release collector ponies.
Here's their reply:

"Thanks for contacting!  With regard to the ponies shown at NYTF, these were just paint samples.  We're still in design mode, so trust that many of your suggestions will be addressed. 

Also, we're not married to packaging--just making great product.  MLP Wave 1 will indeed be a blind boxed figure, but we may offer them within window packaging as well.  We've done so with all other lines in the past.

Thanks again for the support, and I hope we can continue to earn it.

Wishing you all the best,
TLS"

Heya,
I was wondering about the best places to get genuine nylon hair/ MLP nylon that ships relatively quick? I'd love to order from DH, but a lot of their colors are sold out. And RetrodollUS is also an option, but the majority of the colors are pre-orders that will evidently take at least a month to arrive.

I'm getting my first bait lot on Monday, and I am really excited to fix them up. A number of them need new hair, and I am hoping to get started as soon as I can, so I was wondering if there was another place I could order from? Or perhaps even buy from someone here?
(And I can get from retrodollUS if needed, but i wanted to check first.)

Also! I am going to be experimenting on some of the baity baits. I was thinking of coloring and drawing on ponies with watercolor pencils and pastels. Not sure if anyone's done that before, or if it will work at all. But since I don't like working with paints much, I thought I'd give it a go.

Though, I am wondering if G1s (and all the gens, really) will react poorly to Mr. Super Clear? That's what I am planning on for my sealant and primer.

Thanks!
