Market research... fail. My 6 year old wants it. I do not.
LunarEclipse no brony wants this either, I think the bronies want the same thing collectors do.. More show accurate characters, especially boys.

I am really bummed out and disappointed at Hasbro. How hard is it to take a poll to see what we'd actually want to buy? It's more blatant than ever how little they care about collectors and how much they care about bronies.

It's more blatant than ever how little they care about collectors and how much they care about bronies. Ah, and with this comment I think it's more blatant than ever how much hate gets thrown at bronies even when it's completely undeserved and makes no logical sense. I don't want to be rude (I truly, honestly don't like to be), but if you think this is an attempt to cater to bronies, you're just as out of touch as Hasbro is.Frankly, Hasbro has done a poor job giving either group (traditional collectors and bronies) what they want, but I don't think it's either groups fault. We're not their target market, perhaps they simply have trouble seeing things from our perspective. Sometimes I believe Hasbro really does try, and they don't always fail, but when they do this is the result. To me, it just seems more lazy than anything. I mean, why bother coming up with something creative and original when you can just throw some glitter and junk on a pre-existing character? It DOES look like something aimed at children and is a sad attempt, widely missing it's mark of the adult market. Collector's want a wide selection of characters, bronies want a wide selection of characters from the FIM show, both want quality... this doesn't hit any of that.Clearly they didn't do their research, but this isn't the first time hasbro has done something odd and if it doesn't sell well, I'm certain they'll come up with something else (possibly just as inconceivably ridiculous, but we can always hope). In the meantime, I'll just be glad my wallet is safe as this isn't something I want in the least.
