blind bag ponies
« on: January 10, 2013, 04:39:44 AM »
Am I the only pony collector who is not interested in the little solid plastic flotsam ponies?
I bought a few of them when they first came out and ended up giving them to a friend.
It seems that they have taken over from what are now referred to as 'brushables' or 'brushies'.
Does this bother anyone else at all?

The only ones I'm interested in getting are the unique ones like Gilda and the Wonderbolts pony. The rest? I'd just rather have brushable versions~

I like them. I disliked them at first, but after received a few from friends I just fell for them. They are co colorful and easy to collect. I wish the quality was a little better, and they had a few more molds then just the mane 6 and the male mold however.
I'd still prefer Fullsize ponies with manes and all that. Blindbags are nice tho, perfect for the pony collector on a budget (I say that like anyone just buys 1 or 2 at a time XD )

I would rather have brushables, but to be honest distribution here is so awful I will take anything pony that arrives on the shelves!

I kinda love them. But! I've always loved tiny plastic figures and MLP, so they're right up my alley. But I am getting tired of the same couple molds OVER AND OVER and I would rather have more brushables coming out, especially of some of the BB characters because so many of them are pretty! I can understand not being interested in the BBs. And yeah, definitely don't want the MLP toy brand to slowly just become those.

I love tiny toys and have always been interested in the petite ponies so the BB work for me.   I like the brushables too and would like to see more of those in different poses and more colors.

I was excited about them when they first came out and again when they came out with boy ponies but now I feel like it's getting to be a little much. $1.99 per blind bag, which is in one of like 4 poses gets tiring. I have a few handfuls that I was actually thinking of just getting rid of :huh: There are a few I do like but overall I feel like Hasbro is focusing way too much on putting out as many waves of blind bags as they can instead of putting out more brushables :(

I 100% prefer ponies with a brushable mane - thats what MLP is all about for me. But I will admit I find ponyville/blind bag ponies adorable. And thanks to Hasbros lack of willingness to release new characters, I need to get my fix of new ponies from somewhere. Unfortunately the recent development of re releasing the same characters 2 and 3 and 4 times in the waves its starting to become annoying.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

Eh, I was kinda against them at first but once I got some they've grown on me. I honestly mostly just like having new characters, though yes I do also wish for more poses or unique molds and want the BB characters to eventually get brushable versions.

I like them all right but I feel no need to seek them out or complete my collection of them.  I'd still much rather have a brushable.

I don't like them either. They are something that should be in a quarter machine. To me they are a waste of money.

I think they're really cute, but there are too many of them for too high of a price, and it feels like a waste of time and money for me to go look for them anymore... I'm happier with brushables.
