4) Hasbro dont actually make any of their MLP plushies - all of this is outsourced to other companies - for G4 the only confirmed actual licensed plush manufacturers are Funrise and Aurora
Hasbro used to make plushies. The early TRU Exclusive G4s were their doing, as are the G3.5 and G3. Understandable why they'd stop and outsource the plush manufacturing to licensees.

None of these are made by Hasbro [like the regular ponies] they are actually made by other suppliers then branded by Hasbro - its common for them to do this with their plush items in any line - in fact they have been doing this with MLP since G1. Its just that now they seem to have decided to actually licence the product out for plush altogether rather than source and rebrand.

I agree, they look nice but probably not official.  Dr Whooves' cutie mark is upside down, too.

haha I like the general consensus of the last thread, which was "these look too authentic toward the show, thus they must be fan-made rather than Hasbro-licensed" XD

There is a Luna fakie too- she looked cute but went for more than I'd pay for a fake.

I got the Spike one- he could have been so much better. I might end up "fixing" him- the things sticking out of his head?  :huh:

I think that Apple Jack one is scary...

Oh well, at least they're still cute and somewhat affordable.

I agree with you Stuntmang! Considering the price point of unique plush, even for fakies these arent too bad and I think the people I know who have purchased them say they are actually nice quality :) Maybe a little less expensive and I am sure they would be flying off ebay and amazon.

Those are obviously pics ripped from DA people, and they called AJ Princess Celestia.

But thats how sites like alibaba work - they offer you a product, you buy into the product and then they go about creating it. Its about putting you in touch with suppliers; the people listing there dont have 2000 of that pony available but if they get an order then they ll create you 2000 "similar" to that pattern.

I didn't even realize those were custom ponies from DA (or ebay)! 

Well that explains why they were so cute :D
