Got a Question for Hasbro? Ask it here! (x-posted from Fair board)

I tried to video it and my camera ate it:( Don't know how it didn't save:( But yeah, a lot of dancing around questions. She was forbidden to talk about anything beyond 2012 and we asked about the crystal empire and were also told she couldn't say anything:/ We asked why the cutie marks were only on one side and basically got told because they're only printed on the one side, but that's the side the pony was facing when it was new in package:/

As for boys, no more this year, but she said to keep an eye on the show and since they're so many characters, they know the boys are popular, it's possible but she couldn't comment. We also asked about plans for new poses and she basically told us none this year and to keep an eye on the blind bags for the more unique characters/boys. Seems like they understand how popular the bling bags are at least. No plans for brushable blind bags.

That's most of what I caught. I was really excited to see Zecora is in her own box as a TRU exclusive:)

no more boys besides Shining Armor this year

That's not good. So the only boy pony comes with an expensive playset. I'm guessing there won't be a whole lot of custom boys then.

That sucks. Big Mac would make a pretty popular toy if he was sold as a single or in a small set.

I'm sure hoping "no plans" turns out to be like when they were asked about Pony, where she "wasn't official" in big quotation marks ;P

I'm really bummed only BB's are getting cool new poses this year my favorite thing about G1 is all the lively poses they have.  Come on Hasbro, we need more fun playful ponies!

HASBRO Y U NO RELEASE MINTY? But yeah, I really want a Minty too.

Aww I didn't even hear any interesting answers    Thanks to the person who took the video though 

"Why is the symbol only on one side on the toys?"  "We make sure to put it on the outward facing side in the package."  Avoidance!

We asked why the cutie marks were only on one side and basically got told because they're only printed on the one side, but that's the side the pony was facing when it was new in package:/

  That is such a poor answer!!! visitors can't see pics , please register or login
 It's like saying "just because"! An answer like that is laziness! They really must do better than that!
It's such a rip off that the body marking is only on one side! I have been dissapointed by it ever since they started doing it! I just can't get used to it!!

That was another, will there be plans to celebrate? Well that's past 2012 so we can't talk about it but we're thinking right now.

Any one else thing this sounds suspiciously as though most new characters are going to be blind bag size...and basically dont expect plenty of options in the brushable range. If this is the case I ll admit that I am not going to be stunned...but the current "core 6" aspect of the line is going to really put me off G4...or I guess I could simply become a blind bag only collector for G4...that might be more fun

Thanks to everyone who is kind enough to give us a report on what was said! Always appreciated!!!

I don't know, someone asked if they were going to make brushable versions of blind bags and I interpreted that to mean would they transform some of the popular ones like Tea Love into normal size brushable versions but they answered it as no, the blind bags are too small to add hair to "even though we know little girls love brushing hair" so I wouldn't lose all hope for new characters in regular brushable sizes.

[StarlightGaze]

They have over 60 blindbag ponies to choose from to make into brushables, I hope they make a lot more. I would totally buy them all.

I hope the question is phrased something like "Pony symbols were double-sided for 20 years.  Why stop all of a sudden and give us fewer ways to display them?"
