Shining Armor & Princess Cadence **IN HAND PICS**

[ladybrooklyn]

Not only that but when we were shown them in the "save the date" promo picture, they HAD painted shoes.

And why are her wings a different color?

God, Hasbro. So sick of that crap.

Actually... No... They weren't painted in the "Save the Date" image.... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Tohgmytc3s/T1axUnSyc7I/AAAAAAAABOg/_c8JBUjrdSY/s1600/331183_381814858502624_118429394841173_1690564_1312444965_o.jpg

I think you might be thinking of the "talking Princess Cadence"... http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_GQNr077HTU/Ty8765QQArI/AAAAAAAAChs/zoNG2CR6S-0/s1600/1+(1).jpg

And as far as the wings go... The Cadence in my pics, like others that have been posted here... came directly from Taobao and the factory in China. They very well could be prototypes, or factory errors. That alone could explain the lack of "gradiant" on her wings. Who knows! Or maybe she missed the "painting" process that gives them that gradiant. We won't know until the ACTUAL product hits the shelves... hopefully soon!

Oh wow LB!  Are you the first of us to own him??  He is actually rather dashing and handsome.  I am really excited about Hasbro making some new boys, it's been a really long time.  Thanks for posting the pictures!!

I dunno if I'm the first to actually have him in hand... but at least the first one to post pics. I know when I ordered him on TaobaoNow... he had only JUST popped up. However... he and Cadence have been on the site pretty steadily SINCE I ordered him... So neither are in "short" supply (like Pony and Luna...).

But yeah... I him!

Hopefully you can customize him to have nicer hair.

FIRST Boy Pony in almost 30 yrs!!:cheer:

Not to be rude, but that's actually not true. There were boys in G2, even if they had the same mold as the girls.

Shining Armor keeps growing on me more and more. I think he's quite dashing!

Heh, I was thinking this, too. =P Poor girlish looking G2 boys.

I love their size. I hope they make more ponies in these molds. I just hope they give the boys REAL hair lol

[lizstaley]

I think I'm in love with Shining Armor. I love the design, for some reason! Must have one!

Those are so cute! Now where did you get them? I thought they weren't going to be released until August?!

She purchased it from a Chinese online marketplace called Taobao through a third party intermediary located in China.

I dislike his flat hindquarters that gives him a physique of a hyena. He should have been given a clydesdale's body like Big Mac. I hope future male g4 ponies will be improved, and with normal brushable hair too, even if the hair is long like the female ponies' ;-)

Same here. A Hasbro rep said this in a video and I was like "Uh, Clever Clover would like a word with you." It's okay, CC. You're not "girly", you're "bishounen".  That's totally in right now.

princess cadence reminds me of a g2 but she's pretty! and shining armor doesn't look half bad! his form is kind of boxy though lol!

[arcanescroll]

I'm assuming these are the small G4 and not the Fashion Style, right?  I was really wishing for a boy Fashion Style size.  But, it's a start
