I agree with the statement that I hope that they don't lose sight of who their main target demographic is: kids. I mean, I love all of the adult merchandise, but when I've checked places like EqD and various online shopping sights, aside from the toys that they have, it seems like they're lacking in things for girls (yeah, they get a new shirt every once in a while and some coloring books, but it just seems alarmingly scant in my eyes) It would be nice if they did more collector ponies. I read in another thread that Hasbro isn't doing anymore art ponies, and it kind of frustrates me, yes, I like the background ponies, but the art ponies are so stunning and it's not fair of them to cater their special pony to the Bronies
Why not? It wouldn't be fair for them to cater to older collectors forever.
Since the fair was started by older collectors, people trying to keep the pony brand alive for years when Hasbro wasn't selling much MLP, I think it's only right they continue to market to their original demographic - who started watching FIM before it was embraced by bronydom. But Hasbro doesnt care. Go back pages and pages and people are discussing a sneak peek of the very first ep. it would be lovely if they had a g4 art pony. What Luna shirts do Hot Topic have now? Their website is terrible for me. Broken images always.

*shrugs* Hot Topic is for teens and maybe adults. That's the age group that bronies fall into. I don't see the problem.
All hail that male dollar! Sigh. I was IGNORED by a Pony artist because they wanted to talk to men dressed up as Rarity instead when I went to a con. That said, HT needs some more diversity and also they need to make nonblack pony shirts! Color please.
