I didn't want the large twilight either but seeing her in person changed my mind... I just don't have the money.. Hubby sais he may grab it for an anniversary gift.. :-/ but I'm thinking quadruple bout her.

I'm glad I'm not alone in the fact that she's not quite so amazing.

That Twilight is one of the creepiest pony toys I've seen.  I was playing with it at Target the other night.  She was saying very un-Twilight things.

When I was a kid, I had to close the eyes of my Teddy Ruxpin & Gubby toys because I thought they would come to life at night & steal my soul.  This Twilight makes me feel this way too...

(I snuck on horror movies in the middle of the night when I was a kid btw ;))

I'm not a big fan of the giant talking ponies, so I'll be passing. I kind of want Nightmare Moon, though. I'm anxiously waiting for her to hit my TRU.

I still need to get BAB Pinkie and Twilight.

I saw her at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago for $50 (TRU is always more expensive than everywhere else). Of course, being a Twilight fan, I want her as soon as realistically possible. I for one think $50 is a price that does make sense (though TRU's $60 sure doesn't). She's much larger than the talking Celestia, Cadance, and Nightmare Moon, and also her head moves and her eyes blink. I saw a pretty good review of her on YouTube:

Sadly, since my family lives paycheck to paycheck, I won't be able to get her anytime soon, but when I'm able too, I definitely will.

I think she's really creepy looking and ugly. She definitely won't be coming home with me!

I actually really like Princess Twilight, I think she's lovely. The glitter around her horn and her pretty eyes and her sparkly wings and her long, elegant legs make her so pretty! I think it's okay to have a bit of deviation from show-accuracy for a specialty toy like this one. Save show accuracy for the regular toys.

I understand for con exclusives, but I'm actually surprised they're mass selling a talking one for that much- your average parents probably won't want to spend $50 for a kid that's just going to slam it around and break it within a week. :blink:

She has been around for a few weeks now. When a manufacturer says "by September" that usually means every store should be able to stock her [if they wish] by then. Unless their is a preventative street date, items will be shipped much earlier and stocked earlier in order to ensure that they are in stock by the "by" date.

I am not a fan - she is not one I would pick up and add to my collection. But, that being said, I think she is perfect for their target market. A big giant talking toy which they can charge $50-60 for? In the run up to Christmas? Called "Princess"? Yes she is exactly what it makes sense for Hasbro to sell.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
