Next Wave of Playful Ponies

[Dragonflitter]

Also, did anyone notice they come with a barette OR a brush, not both? I haven't been paying much attention to accessories for the last few waves but... is this normal? How are you supposed to brush these 'brushable' ponies' hair if they don't come with a brush?

Yeah I noticed that with the Masked wave

You guys realize that if you stop buying these variations for your armies, and such, then the sales will go down and they will have to release different ponies, I refuse to buy any brushable or fs or rereleased ponies, especially mane 6.

Unfortunately we are not the largest percentage of buyers by a long shot. Their main audience is still little kids and as long as there are new little kids discovering the show who want the mane 6, they will continue to sell well enough that they can just pump out the same characters.

I have heard the tinsel is unlike any kind of tinsel used before and more like metallic thread than tinsel. Can anyone who has one of the loose ones confirm this?

I have Rarity, yeah the tinsel is absolutely horrid! Its got a really rough touch to it, terrible idea since its not so 'brushable' either. It looks crimped and is about half an inch shorter than the nylon hair. I tried to play with her hair, ugh it just ended up turning into a mess!

Is the tinsel in sections or are the sections mixed with hair?

[Unicorn_pops]

The hair is in sections, not mixed in with hair

[sd_dreamcrystal]

Ah so that means if someone got them and detinseled they would have to rehair those sections... Good job hasbroken

I don't mind this set.  I'm not going to be buying them, but honestly, with the new collector set and the set with Minty, plus blind bags, plus plushies, plus trading cards...I already want more than I can afford. 

Frankly, it's fine with me if Hasbro keeps reissuing the mane six - they clearly sell to the little ones - and releases the occasional new character or collector set for those of us who don't want doubles of the main six. 

I would like to see, at some point, brushables of characters like BonBon/Sweetie Drops, Spitfire, Soarin', Bic MacIntosh and Octavia, and I would rather see those than these, but my wallet tells me to give it time

[reanna-mator]

One one hand, I think they're pretty. On the other, oh GODS please give us some new characters!

[CupidStrikes]

Most places here still have the CE brushables (not the masked ones) so I'm thinking most people aren't interested in tinsel ponies anyway, or already have the mane six. Hopefully these'll be different enough to children that stores might be able to shift them? How many different versions of the mane 6 do Hasbro think they'll want/need? =/ Re-release some of the background ponies, Hasbro! *shakes fist*

I thought the Rarity with the different-coloured mane was really pretty but this new tinsel stuff just looks ugly Such a shame. If it were the mane 6 with "clown" manes I'd be all over that....

[Noepse]

I think they are kinda cute! Oh and more Rarity for my army. ♥

[Deep Purple Crystal]

Not more main six! Even so, I don't have Fluttershy, but I should stick to collecting G1's, G2's, and G3's.

I don't think it is Hasbros responsibility to give us ponies we can detinsel without the need for rehairing sections.   


Am I the only one who loves this new rough thread like tinsel?  I think it is really unique and fun looking.  I hunted down the first tinsel ponies that came out because I loved the look.

True but still how durable would that tinsel be in the long run I'm not a huge tinsel fan but I'm ok with it in small amounts. Tinsel is hard to style and I'm one who likes to curl and style most of my ponies' manes/tails and tinsel just doesn't settle well for me That's part of the main reason I would not get this wave (other than the fact I already HAVE the main 6 from the first wave)

Now I agree if the ponies had the clown color hair I would have gotten them but just kind of changed them to another pony without rehairing

As far as sets, I -do- want some of the brushables from the sets but I can't dish out $25 or more bucks for a set that has about 1 or 2 ponies I don't have and about 3 to 4 that I already do have when I'm only interested in the 1-2. I would go deeper into it but that is more like ranting than anything and I rather not go there

[Marigold]

Yeah, you're right about it not being easy to style or durable.  I wonder if it unravels.
