I *may* get my first blindbags and pop with the flim/flam set and the giant clear luna pop but I'll wait to see luna in person....the snowglobe ponies sounded neat, but I didn't like them very much in personthe new brushable is so boring really Hasbo, another pink/lavender shade pony?and what's with the ribbon in the hair? is that supposed to be cool? and aps on feet? no thank you. why is it ON the pony!? why couldn't it be on something inside the packaging (inside so people can't scan it without buying....ooooh look, they can scan it without buying since it's on the display side)
I'm kinda hoping Taobao provides later because what I've seen is... disappointing. As much as I love Gala RD, even as someone with an intentional G4 Rainbow Dash and Applejack army I'm getting sick of weird rehashes where it's just one little gimmick added. The ribbon haired brushables you just chop off the ribbon and it's the exact same pony as the last mane six rereleases.I get the feeling they didn't do a favorites pack this year because their goth mane 6 one didn't sell. Hopefully that would've sent the message "we're tired of mane 6 rereleases with some odd decoration to make it new" but I don't think that was the message Hasbro got.Question I'm honestly curious about; who is the EqG demographic and where are all these sales that are driving down ponies and driving up dolls coming from?The bronies aren't huge fans of EqG except for maybe that one ditzy siren girl. Collectors seem to lean more towards ponies though in fairness I have seen some that do collect EqG. And the demographic outlined by Hasbro's investor presentation (I can't find it but I think it was like 10-12 year old girls) seem to have outgrown dolls by that point. So who is EqG really selling to? It's such a confusing brand to have made it this far.To end on something positive; I need that Funko Cadance. I've been begging for a Funko and BaBW Cadance and now there's both. YES. And credit where it's due, the Apple family blind bags are pretty cool. I'm glad they tried some new molds even with old characters, makes the scene much more dynamic.(ETA: I don't get the QR codes. afaik QR is kinda going the way of the dodo.)

I'm kinda suprised we didn't saw any exclusive items. I thought that we would at least see those flower-decorated Brushables. Also, at the London Toy Fair we saw a Big Mac Pop as well and I believe I saw a Trixie brushable as well. (probally the charm wings one)
