DJPONY is a Boy? - also he's for Sale

[gypsyunicorn]

I always thought that pony was a male

me too

[Galactica]

I am more confused by the fact a moulded hair pony has soft silky hair?

Yet more proof of rushed copy.

Didn't we decide they were refering to Skrillex?

I spotted this:

Delightfully decorative pony figure looks like the DJ Pon-3 character.

It looks like DJ Pon-3 (I do prefer Vinyl Scratch), but it isn't DJ Pon-3. Just a silly plastic knockoff! Vinyl would say "Meh, I've seen better!"

Also: nope, I don't think Hasbro's reading the MLPA. I figure G4-only fans were as outspoken about the mix-up as the all-gen fans; as far as Hasbro's concerned, only the former exist, but in this case everybody wins!

actually, if you read the description, it says he has hair "LIKE the favorite DJ pony" It's not DJPon3, but this 'vynil scratch' is appeatenly a seperate pony canonically, using the brony nickname for a canon character for a seperate male lookalike.

This is what I was thinking as well when I read it. It makes it sound like it's a different character altogether. DJ's glam male counterpart? Another pony cosplaying his favorite DJ? Twins? lol, I don't know.

So Hasbro's going with the idea that Vinyl Scratch and DJ Pon3 are different ponies, as opposed to the more realistic idea that "DJ Pon3" is just Vinyl's stage name?  Silly...

I don't understand Hasbro's reasoning for this if that's what they're doing.  I don't mind them trying to keep all fans happy (though they shouldn't pander), but making them different ponies seems odd, especially after they made Lyra and Heartstrings the same pony, after realizing that the fans were complaining...

[popyduggan]

The same paragraph that calls her a he also refers to "his" soft, silky hair.  Another Hasbro screw-up. DJ's a girl

I remember Rainbow Dash was a boy a few times too, even on the show, pinkie called her "him".

Awesome got HER . I caved in lol. I was not going to go for the exclusive , but since it was available..... Why not , if I don't like it I can always trade her or sell her later on !  I also went for PTS exclusive one since I'm paying shipping already for one

Good idea, that's what I did too. That way they're about $58 shipped. I mean, she still is a special piece even though it seems like she'll be hanging around for(ever) a while.

I thought they were just trying to say that she is "show accurate."

[/quote] When did this happen in the show? (sorry if the quote authors wrong, I had to delete a lot of stuff).

Ah, I get it now - I thought they were saying she (in my mind) was a different character.

Actually it's been confirmed by a Hasbro rep that they DO read the Arena. But no word on who it is, of course.

Me thinks this is all over thinking it.  All Hasbro wants is your money.
