You might remember me from such threads as 'CE Brushables with Cider Squeezy DVD' where I made a dream list of what I wished Hasbro would have released late-summer/early fall for their Cider Squeezy promo. This was it:
Spoiler
Dear Hasbro, here is how this should have gone (IMNSHO):
Cider Squeezy Line: Late Summer 2012
Playsets:
-Flim and Flam (brushables) and the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 playset (with DVD)
-Apple Family Cider Season playset with brushable Big Mac, Granny Smith and Apple Bloom and the Apple Family Cider Stand (with DVD)
(and since I know you love your mane 6 )
Single pack brushables (all with DVDs and mugs of cider):
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy in flying pose
Pinkie Pie (new prancing mold) with tent and Balloons
Applejack (new prancing mold) with barrel and basket of apples
Chance A Lot (New boy mold)
Meadow Song (New boy mold)
Golden Harvest (New prancing mold)
Berry Shine (New Prancing mold)
TRU exclusive set with Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, hourglass and more props
Fashion Style

Golden Harvest
Not nuclear science guys.
So I waited to watch the Crystal Empire episodes before revisiting this with my dream release (blind-bags not included in this) for Hasbro's Holiday release.
Dear Hasbro,
Me again; so here is how the Crystal Empire should have gone. IMNSHODVD release of Season 2 (Season 1 should have been released last year)
Special FiM Soundtrack of seasons 1 & 2 with bonus cd with songs from the Crystal Empire episodes
Playsets with brushables('Crystal' versions of ponies meaning translucent and sparkly, with hair styles/colors reflecting the changed ponies in the Crystal Empire episodes. I would personally use faceted nylon hair that's like Dollyhair's Starlight and Moonlight to accent rather than tinsel)Crystal Castle with Crystal Cadence and Crystal (standing upright pose) Spike (and the Crystal Heart that lights up and spins in its stand) *Castle should light up/glow and glisten* have a throne room, a tower room with secret entrance, dungeon/basement, round table room, and flag
King Sombre (with armor)
and Warrior Shining Armor (with snow armor)
Pony Faire Playset 1: Jousting 'Crystal' Rainbow Dash and 'Crystal' Jousting Fluttershy
Pony Faire Playset 2: Fair stand 'Crystal' Rarity and 'Crystal' Clown Pinkie Pie with small fair stand and Crystal Flugelhorn
Pony Faire Playset 3: Crystal Heart Twilight Sparkle and Crystal Applejack with light-up fake crystal heart
Crystal Library Playset: With Crystal Chronicle and Twilight Sparkle. EXCLUSIVE to whoever.
Brushable singles (with Crystal kingdom hair style/accessories and eyeshadowing) *these were all ponies from the episodes. I couldn’t find names so I just used their cutie marks. Note, these aren’t what I would release if I had complete control, but if Hasbro hired me to design a toy line to promote the Crystal Empire this is what I would suggest to them)Crystal Bullseye (boy; blue with tail in blues) comes with a blue crystal ewe
Crystal Plume (violet with hair in golds) comes with lavender crystal ewe
Crystal Stronghold (boy; Yellow with hair in blues) comes with crystal corn
Crystal Fleur (ivory with hair in plums) comes with golden ewe
Crystal Palmetto (pink with hair in greens) comes with crystal berries
Crystal Chronicle, librarian (pale lavender with pale pink hair)
Fashion Styling:Cadence and Shining Armor (yay! You got this right!!)
Bullseye (in different colors)
Fleur (in different colors)
(In the episodes most of the ponies have one of a few cutie mark designs, but have different colors. So I just picked 2 common ones to release in different color combinations. They could even release the different color combos as exclusives.)
There. Whew! That took me like all of 15 minutes.
