I won't be getting the set unless they change Chrysalis. I understand them re-using Celestia's mold for Nightmare Moon, as the only thing that's really different about them is their wings, but this Chrysalis attempt is just pathetic and discouraging. It actually convinced me not to get the set after I'd already planned on getting it. I don't want to own that abomination. :P Even if her hair is a really pretty color. I'm one of those who'd rather they not release her at all than do so like this. I'll pick up the blindbag version of her when it's released, though.

That leaves :muffin: Pony and Diamond Tiara as the only two I really want out of the set, and frankly, they just aren't worth it. Lyrica (isn't that the name of some kind of medication?) is one of the weirdest choices ever to include in a "Fan Favorites" set, since nobody really knew who she was or gave her a second glance. Personally, I don't really care for her and the other three are all re-releases. I'm not complaining too much though, I don't really mind not having to spend my money. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick up the couple I do want for a decent price somewhere down the road.

Personally, I'm just happy to have her in any way.  Hasbro could just say "forget this" and not make her at all.  *shrug*  I really don't expect Hasbro to be as thorough with details as, say, Funko.

Stickers for holes and a mold that looks nothing like her.
I *really* hope this isn't the final product for her :/

Have any of the g4 fair toys looked different when they were actually released VS shown at the fair?

I can't believe a mold is THAT expensive. I mean, I know it is, but for a decent product, at this time, with the huge fan base, Hasbro could probably get a mold for free from some devoted fan. If mold cost is the only thing determining that Chrysalis now have regular feathered wings well... I can't even measure my disappointment.

I will probably get the set anyway (help?) because I want the pony that can not be named. And I may need an army of Cadences to handle my army of Pinkies.

The blindbag Chrysalis is not that bad and the mold won't be used for anyone else too. Why not make a neat brushable of her?

They are for the price point of the product though. I mean the set will be $40-50 and contain 7 ponies. With G4 Hasbro are after the fast moving, cheap end of the toy market - unfortunately this means investment in variety is unlikely.

However, I do hope to be proven wrong.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

But I'll settle with whatever they come out with if my dreams don't become reality ;) I like the blind bag version though.

Everyone, grab a drill and let's get to work. *whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir*

This. A  few sheets of acetate and a teal marker to replace those wings couldn't hurt either. I wish we didn't have to dissect a toy to make it look halfway decent though. :|
