OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH.

This is spectacular news!

EDIT: Alright, I got so excited that I forgot to post something constructive. Sorry!

I think it's great that she's the Comic Con pony. A wide release would have been cool, but this nonetheless means that they will be more available. I'm sure there will still be plenty of shenanigans still, but I'm still optimistic. :)

Why is the MLP logo on the box blue, anyway? Is it common for Comic Con box art to feature the logo in different colors like that?

Oh, making her an exclusive "collectable" aimed at older fans makes sense! I didn't think she was real before because as popular as she is with bronies, it seemed odd for Hasbro to make just one non-mane-6 Fashion Size toy to sell in regular stores...most little kids, who I assume are the main consumers of store-bought toys, probably wouldn't be interested. But as a limited-edition toy sold for a higher price where primarily older fans will find her, that makes so much more sense.

I admit, I am a little sad they're not keeping the G3 design since that's the model they've gone with for a while now and I like consistency, but I get why they did this, even if I don't particularly like the character or how the fandom practically worships her. I also think it's fine that her name isn't on the box...do any of the CC exclusives have a name on the box? But I do get it, and hey, at least a lot of people will be happy with it.

Nice that there'll be more available, not so nice that there definitely won't be enough. I guess it's good that more people will be able to own her, but it sucks for someone like myself that has no chance of attending the con, and can't purchase from Hasbro's online store. I'm sure there's a chance of people on here doing orders for her, but I don't think I could get the money (or a slot?) on time. :\

Ebay, friends who go to ComicCon, or stalking Hasbro's site a few days after the con just in case you can nab one.

I'm not sure I really understand all the controversy, but I'm glad that those who wanted her will at least have a chance :)


I also understand why people are disappointed it isn't G3 since that was a tradition right?

Thank you for the precise answer! lol. So usually a short time after the con ends, Hasbro puts the leftovers up for sale on their website? Good to know! We will need to put all our sniper skills to the test, lol!

woot! We suspected :muffin: Pony might by the SDCC pony! Have been looking for news on the SDCC pony, so thanks for posting this.
But I do hope Hasbro still makes G3 art ponies...

Is anyone going to order the one(s) that are on taobao right now in the box from the seller that posted those photos? If so I'd like to get in on that group order, if there's more than one. Might be easier than getting it at the con. >_>;;

WANT.
I'm hoping she pops up more frequently now, and for a more reasonable price.  I definitely want her!!

I would love to get into a group order too since I know some people who would really love one but just don't have access  :) Though I don't know if someone is organizing it?


EDIT: If they are even still available 0_0

Maybe, maybe not...depends on shipping costs.  :drunk:  They are so ridiculous nowadays!
