Quote from: KarentheUnicorn on May 27, 2013, 11:24:32 AMIt's kinda sad considering how much FIM centered fans complain about wanting show accurate products and hasbro seems to give less and less of this with each passing year.Don't get me wrong, I'm not as show-accurate mad as others. And I know repainting molds has been a staple of toys since forever. But Chrysalis just strikes me as particularly cheap. That, Zecora's jewelry, Vinyl Scratch's goggles, Mrs. Cake's pudgy cheeks just an unpainted part of her eye sockets and others which have shown up here...I know those I mentioned are all characters that bronies like, but Hasbro isn't doing a good job of pandering to them, or anyone. No new characters for the collectors, and no show-accurate ones for the kids and bronies... who are they aiming these toys at?

Chrysalis is on Taobao nowvisitors can't see pics , please register or login
Well unsurprisingly she doesn't look like Chrysalis, but I still like her as a pretty dark pony. I honestly don't know how they could manage a mold like that anyway- waaaay too expensive. They'd have to do it in many parts- and it would be complicated.Guess I'll be saving up for another one of Hannaliten's! visitors can't see pics , please register or loginTHIS is what Chrysalis should look like- http://hannaliten.deviantart.com/art/Queen-Chrysalis-custom-ponies-x6-MLP-FiM-365247494#

They are aiming them at their core market - the market which accounts for the vast majority of sales. Little girls (and boys) - who honestly will be largely unfussed by her not being super show accurate.
This is how I look at it. She is being made. We as a community wanted her, and Hasbro delivered. I'm not going to nit pick her wings or holes when I know that not too long ago, this pony probably would not have been made. Besides, all kids have this wondering thing called an imagination. They can pretend that she looks like whatever they want. Kind of like how us of the G1 generation pretended that some of our girl ponies were boys. Sometimes I think hasbro is in a no win situation. We as a community ask for things, and even when they give us something, it's not good enough. I can't believe that I am feeling bad for a corporation. lolAnyway, I'll be getting her. I can't wait for this set to come out. New ponies plus Shining Armor and Cadance. I am excited to be getting the prince and princess without buying the castle!
