through the mirror ... Chinese New Year Pinkie Pie

[hathorcat]

Not sure how I'm gonna pick her up since she's online only

I'm pretty sure she'll show up in stores soon
It's like how Target is sometimes "Online only", then soon after it'll start popping up in stores 

I wouldnt be surprised if she stays an online offer - a lot of retailers do that with items which perhaps dont fit their normal store demographic but which they know will sell well.

Question, it says she's 8". Obviously bigger than the g4 ponies. Is this the same size as the fashion style g4s?

It's a little bigger, about 2" bigger, I think. Giant Pinkie!

I think the 8inch covers the box though. It looks as though its an exclusive/art box so that should make her normal fashion size...I think! Maybe

It said on taobao that she was 22cm, and i think fashion styles are usually 15cm? I could be wrong

I agree she looks like she is going to be bigger than the FS pony-  the FS pony is 16cm and she is 22cm

I got one of those 22cm plain Pinkies form Taobao- and she is pretty big.  I am thinking this one uses the same mold (even the eyes are the same).  That would explain the higher price too.

Happily- it does appear that the Chinese New Year Pinkie will have longer hair than the other giant Pinkie... (her mane and tail was the same length as a FS- although this may have just been true for the one I got since Taobao has a lot of test runs and QC fails)

I agree from the Taobao picture she looks like she is FS size. However, her box measures 10inch x 10inch x 4inch - thats the size of the normal art pony boxes, or the box which Drama Pony was released in. Which kind of suggests Fashion Style rather than Styling Size.

Perhaps the ones on Taobao are Styling Size but her actual release will be Fashion Size? I have a Styling Size version of the 2011 Comic Con pony - there are only 4 of her in existence - so its possible that she was initially made larger before they settled on a smaller release size or she was made larger during design stages. It has happened before

Waaah, she's beautiful and I want!

So she is fashion style sized... but they're supposed to have four rows of hair, aren't they?

Fashion style ponies are about 6", so at 8", she should be a bit bigger than they are. Her hair looks nice and long, at least!

The outfit would have looked lovely on Rarity, as long as they are sticking to the mane 6.  I don't hate it, but I don't really want it either.  Oh well, more $ for G1s

The outfit's colors clash badly with everyone except Applejack who wouldn't be interested in wearing the outfit anyway. Imagining Rarity's purple hair against the red outfit makes me think not only do they clash but they also make me think of guts and blood.

Hmmm....its going to be interesting to see how she squeezes in that box. I wonder why they have made her such a random size?

[ShortyBoo]

I don't like the color red in the first place, but I think it looks especially bad paired with pink, so I'll be passing on her.

I know there is a pre-order right now-- but any thoughts on possible availability at actual stores? 

It doesn't say online only, just exclusive to TRU. And, TRU seems to be bad with their pre-orders from what I remember reading.

My husband, who is not a big pony fan-- nor a big Pinkie Pie fan-- really seems to want her for our family. I just am hesitant to do the pre-order thing if it's something I can just pick up in the store.

At first I was all "oh, she's cute" but now I don't know. She's okay, but I won't be getting her. I do like the idea though.

It says at the bottom of the page "This item is sold online only (not sold in stores)". I thought that meant online only. However I guess with TRU its always possible its a misleading statement. After the Funko debacle its always possible.
