SDCC pony revealed!

[MilkyTaroMochi]

Like I said Im sick of the overrrated-ness of Ponies who appear only 2 seconds in the show. They get even way more merch then the CMC. WHAT?! Also Im sure a normal one will be released soon at Hot Topic. I rather had a Brushable with some awesome designs like the G3 ones had.

YOU TOO, HUH??

Seriously, Rarity/AJ were edged out of one of the Funko toylines (the mini-ones I think) for GreyPeg and DJP0n3.

Let that sink in for a minute.

Funko/Hasbro thought it was a good idea to drop a third of the mane six for a pair of background characters with a sentence of screentime between them.

I'd guess it's because Rarity and AJ aren't as "popular" as the other mane 4 ponies, Ditzy, and DJ.
Not saying that I am okay with that possible/likely reason - Rarity and AJ are my favorites of the mane 6 , and it always did upset me how they usually get the short end of the stick when it comes to merchandise. In a way, I've started "hating" RD and Dj Pon-3 (to an extent) because of it. I like Ditzy Doo a lot, but even I am getting tired of her being "everywhere" while other show ponies get ignored.

But yes, I do wish it was some other pony as the SDCC exclusive, not just a "popular fan favorite" one. Zecora, Discord, CMC, Big Mac, Luna/NMM, Chrysalis, ect.

When I first saw the picture of her, I thought her glasses were speakers, and I thought oh neat she can play music. Which would be awesome! But sadly they are only dumb crystal things. That's a dumb move Hasbroken! $50 for a crystal encrusted FS pony. Oh yay...not!

I just bought a Littlest Petshop Online Harmony the Dancing Dog from a thriftstore for $1.99. One can plug an MP3 player into her foot and she is a speaker. She also dances, barks, sings and lights up. When I looked her up she retailed for $24.99 at a regular store. She is much cooler than this SDCC exclusive. And I like the DJ pony!



PS To whoever made Grumpy cat into an icon for use on the boards here, I give you a pile of lovely internet cookies!!

A Chrysalis done in this syle would be stunning!
I'm not really a fan of the DJ pony mainly because I'm making a plush of her and the glasses are a pain

I agree with those who have said a 30 year anniversary pony should be more about all the generations, not just the latest fad.

A set of one character done in all the styles would be fun. Someone who was there at the beginning, like Applejack.

I do like the mould but the random glittery bling all over her is weird. I second what people have said about her eyes looking like speakers - they look awful since they're not!
The glitter and gems on her legs, glasses and horn look stupid and randomly placed. The glitter-y mane is fine but I don't understand why they've made her look like she's walked through a glitter swamp.

A real shame, but hey, at least Funko seem to know what they're doing.

Totally agree!!! Don't understand the DJ, Drama Pony, Dr. Whooves craze Just background ponies and would love to see Rarity and AJ get more attention than those 3.

Hmmm, that amount of bling just seems random and tacky to me, and her hair just looks gross. I've seen customs so much better than this and am frankly more excited for the Funko version.
I still kind of want her but certainly not for this price, so I'm not gonna be cut up if I can't get one but I'll keep an eye out I guess. If she had been some kind of speaker for your MP3 player that would have been amazing.

Is it Fashion Style size? If she's bigger I'd get the price tag then but otherwise, nope it looks cheaply made.

[mercynova]

Hmm... After sleeping on it I've decided that I do quite like her and I'm really looking forwards to seeing her in person. If, by some miracle, she turned out to be speakers then that would make her 64892146 more times awesome.

But yeah I am still disappointed for all the reasons that others have mentioned but I'm not surprised they've done something like this. Us collectors just have to face the facts that we're not Hasbro's biggest priority at the moment.

Oh icky! She does not appeal to me in the slightest! She's way to gimmicky for me. I just want an elegant brushable unique pony. glad I didn't pre order the fair pony! I'd be majorly bummed!

[StarDapple]

Don't care for her.  I was expecting something commemorating the 30th anniversary instead of just being a background pony we've seen so many times in other toy lines.  Very disappointed.  :-/

[SourdoughStomper]

The 10th Anniversary pony is way more awesome than this one. It had to be said.

[pyrodarknessanny]

crystals? lol i thaught she was some kind  of  speaker plug in thing for your ipad/ pod,

...
yeah ......................................NAH'

I was gonna say, "WAIT, WE GOT A 10TH ANNIVERSARY PONY?! OMG WHERE IS SHE? IS SHE THE FAIR EXCLUSIVE?"

And then I remembered... oh, yeah, 20 years ago, huh...

I can't decide which emotion I feel more....

I'm assuming this is our Fair pony (if not, I'm sure we'll be getting something similar).  After the first couple of vinyls, I stopped picking them up.  They're expensive, big, with poor paint jobs, and I never liked the molded hair look anyway.  I just have no desire to even think about tracking down chase figures either.   I still have to this one, sadly.  I collect the Fair exclusives (for better or for worse) but this is the first one I actually feel disappointed in
