Why is everyone panicking. As long as there are brushable ponies I don't care if they stick a QR code under the hoof or something. It's not like they are talking about making the ponies themselves out of paper.
Quote from: Aitsuki on January 26, 2015, 06:21:36 PMOh, those QR code things? No way, of course they won't replace physical ponies! This is a new gimmick to get you to BUY more physical ponies. It's part of a game, sort of My Little Pony's answer to Skylanders and Amiibos. By making the new and old ponies with these codes for this mobile game, they can sell LOADS of ponies. Kids will go nuts to get these codes; you ever seen a kid bugging their parent for a Skylander? I have at the store once. The kid was holding a slightly used one and pointing to one that looked almost the exact same, but was holding a different weapon thing. Apparently it had a different power, but the parent couldn't figure out how it was different and so the kid was going nuts trying to get it. These codes are a way to boost pony sales. Heck, adults fall for it too; I'm sure some bronies will get doubles of the mane six and such to have them in the game. And the QR codes will give us what WE want; variety!! They will want to keep this going for a long time, so they'll keep making new characters! And from what I've heard, they're going to be pretty small and unobtrusive. Also, if it still bugs you? It's printed on the same as the cutie marks and eyes. Just wipe it off with acetone!True, very true! I hadn't thkight about new characters with matching codes! I assumed they'd just churn out 500 more Princess Twilights with codes for different characters lol.When you put it that way, now I'm kind of excited for them!

Here's an interesting tidbit. In Hasbro's Transformers app, where you scan in the QR code on the toy... guess.. what.. You have to RESCAN it every few days or so... comes up and says "A character you scanned has returned to Cybertron... please rescan them to bring them back!"So I wouldn't doubt that the MLP edition would have the same thing; I don't know if that changes how we feel about new characters being pushed with QR codes... but food for thought anyway. You'll have to keep rescanning your ponies to keep them "In Game"
I think we will get some new brushables. Not most of the ones listed here but we will get some. When I went through the list of brushables I bought this past year I was surprised. What I am really curious about is the 2016 TRU collectors set. This last year's was a HOT MESS. Possibly the worst g4 thing ever. Did they learn their lesson? Will they go back to releasing actual interesting characters (and, of course, ANOTHER Pinkie)? Inquiring minds want to know...And why, oh why, can they manage to release boys in everything BUT brushable form????

7-10 year old girls arent macabre aficionadoes Hasbro!
Quote from: gabumon on January 29, 2015, 06:16:00 AM7-10 year old girls arent macabre aficionadoes Hasbro!Than why is MH so popular? I actually think the target audience will love the ponies that seem calavera inspired.
I'm sure the kids would like a MOnster High type pony- except the designs Hasbro came up with.. they don't look Calavera inspired, they just look poorly planned. Maybe the original concepts were better but the execution... it leaves much to be desired.
