How do I get Hasbro to look at my toy idea?
« on: March 30, 2012, 12:49:29 PM »
This is an idea I'm certain will sell enormously to their target audience, young girls!

Simple: Princess Celestia figure in a carriage, pulled by her royal guards.
When my sister and I were young we both loved toy horses, and my sister loved Barbies. We owned 3 different kinds of horse and carriage sets for Barbie. I don't think this is much different. What with boy pony mould already made, the design for the carriage already done, and the Celestia figure already in production, I think this would be the perfect kind of playset for Hasbro to release. Only problem is, how do I show this idea to them?

I think that's a great idea!  :)  Maybe you can check their website and see if there's a contact email.  They also peek in here occasionally, but it hasn't ever done us much good  :silly:

Thats a very cute idea! Hasbro seem to like trains and vehicles at the moment so fingers crossed they may consider something like it!

My first thought when I read your idea was "3-5 ponies and a carriage? That is going to cost a kidney!". I seriously doubt it would be sold for less here in Scandinavia, but putting the asumed price aside, I would totally LOVE if Hasbro decided to make it (need more playsets!). I wish you the best of luck and I hope Hasbro will listen to your idea ^^

Great idea, though I bet if Hasbro makes it the design will be miles different from the one in the show, lol

Great idea! i had a carriage when i was little and i loved it!

The guards totally have to be in their armor, tho... no weird yellow clothes! *note to hasbro, not to you*

While i like the idea, i don't think Hasbro is allowed or willing to just take someones idea. It's like the writers who are adviced not to be reading fanfiction just so someone will not walk up to Hasbro claiming they stole their ideas.

I would buy it, then customise it to a nightmare moon carriage.

I love this idea  :biggrin:
Maybe they could even throw in a more show accurate Luna *cough*  :lookround:


As far as cost goes, I don't think it would be too bad if it was the carriage, Celestia and like 2 guards. I mean, how much is Princess Cadence & Shining Armor's castle going to cost? That in itself is a great deal of plastic, plus 2 decent sized ponies. I think it's a reasonable request, plus it would be very cute.

I would try and shoot them an email! I think your idea is really cool.
You may not hear back from Hasbro, but it is worth a try. c:

There used to be a area on the site where you can make suggestions... I don't know if they still have it any more or cleverly hid it

Edit: You could probably contact them asking how one can submit a suggestion... not sure if they will answer but it's worth a try?
