The Toy Fair 2014 (UK toy fair)

[Lancer]

It was hard to see through the Hasbro window even in real life, so the photos were never going to be very good.  I found out after I left the Toy Fair that I could have actually had a tour around the Hasbro booth as long as I'd signed a confidentiality agreement.  Obviously I couldn't have taken photos but at least I'd have got a closer look at the other end of the display!

Here's the photos from the video.

There were an awful lot of plushies!  I haven't kept up with the G4 merchandise really, so wasn't sure how much of it was new and how much had already been seen.  Some of the Funrise plushies were adorable though.

Can you tell us what you saw on the table with the cupcake house playset, and the castle, what ponies did you see on both of these tables? Thanks for the photos btw!

which pic has the little build a pony?
(this may be the closest we get to a MLP Kreo set!)

I watched it on you tube and there sure are a lot of new plush ponies!

Oh, hey, I like the Sugarcube Corner!

[Sunset]

I also really like the Sugarcube Corner play set.  I hope it opens up in the back so that you can play inside.

Thanks for posting a video! I already have space issues with my G4 plushie collection, and it's now only going to get worse!

My Little Pony...why you no pony anymore?

My Little Pony...why you no pony anymore?

Because...Hasbro.  Someone stop them!

I can see into the future:
G5 = Just Equestria Girls

At which point I will go to Rhode Island personally nail my grievances to the front door of Hasbro HQ.

I'll go, Hasbro HQ is like 10 minutes away from where I live. xD

Can you just tell em to make more ponies besides the "Lame" 6, the FCMC (Forever Cutiemarkless Crusaders), and stereotypical pink pony princess (Cadance)? EQG is fine, just more variety in the brushable pony line...hint *turn all of the blind bags you have released into brushables!!*

I can try!

Oooh the princess Funrise plushes! Does this mean we'll see those in the UK, too? They wouldn't show them at the UK toy fair if we weren't going to get them, right? I'm not super keen on the Funrise plushes, but if BAB don't make Celestia/Cadence/Luna, then this'll be the only shot at getting princess plushies aside from Twilight

I'm very excited about the Sugarcube Corner playset - maybe it'll come with Mr. Cake and the babies, as well as give Mrs. Cake a re-release?

Aaaand the TY keychain plushes! Eeeee!

I just found this on Tumblr, supposedly is from the same toy fair:

Rainbow Kingdom Playset. And yes, that looks to be a show accurate Luna! (And how many years did that take you, Hasbro? It shouldn't take this long to get toys that actually look like the characters they're supposed to represent) Hopefully we'll see her on her own as well. Do not want with the big playset (perhaps Luna will be one of the repeats in the next Favourites Collection?)

Also apparently there'll be an EqG doll called "Adagio Dazzle"?

SUGAR CUBE CORNER PLAYSET!??? Yesyes yeesssss!

WAIT WAIT WAAITT!! Whooooo is that yellow toned gal with the yellow/orange hair, is that Sunset Shimmer or AJ?

[Galactica]

I attended both the Toy Fair and EAG International (amusement arcade equipment, which includes the kind of plush toys offered as fairground prizes) last Wednesday.  Sadly, I didn't have much time at either exhibition, but I still took a few photographs and turned them into a slideshow on Youtube.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skaIaG820kY

You weren't allowed to take photos within the walls of the Hasbro booth...but they had a window (which was rather silly if they were trying to keep things away from the public eye) and I tried my best!

Lancer you are so lucky!!!  Thanks so much for sharing your video- whooo!

What on earth could these things be???  So curious...  in your video you note that they are cardboard cutouts and weren't finished in time for the fair-  but can you tell what size they were going to be (like brushable of fashion style) or any hint as to what they might be?  Aww- nevermind- question answered- they are yet more plushies

I'm personally disappointed in EG2 because that means Hasbro has abandoned their endeavor to revive Jem and the Holograms.  Thanks, Equestria Girls, you've now muscled in on the turf of two great brands.

What?  Jem and the Holograms are alive and well! They are seriously my favorite doll collection right now-  http://www.integritytoys.com/jemandtheholograms/collection-classic-jem.php
The dolls are to die for-  I seriously love them all (especially the Misfits and the Stingers)

I WISH Hasbro would do an adult line for My Little Pony- but I don't see it happening unless some other company takes the license and runs with it like Integrity.

Definitely need the EQG dolls!

[Galactica]

New EQ dolls-  DJ, Sunset Shimmer- and is that Luna again ? I hope so.
