MLP G1 Vinyls Coming Soon

[Leave a Whisper]

If Big Bad Toy Store carries these, they usually have two options:  you can buy unopened blind boxes from them where you don't know what figure you'll get, OR you can buy specific characters where they've opened them to take a peek inside.

However, if you opt for the "buy specific characters" route the commons will cost a few dollars extra and the chase figures will cost quite a lot extra.

I figure I'll buy about three or four blind boxes, hoping I don't get duplicates, then buy the specific ponies I still need.

That'd be good.

And right after I sent them an email saying "BTW Buttons has a pink stripe in her mane " too, lol.

Also the white pony is confirmed as Sundance.

Hmm, I suspected that after noticing Princess Sparkle on one of my retro cups.  I suspect that they didn't specifically choose these characters after all.  They just used the characters that Hasbro has already been using in its retro merch.  With the exception of Sweet Scoops/Lickety Split.

I agree, these are the characters turning up on a lot of retro merchandise.  Hasbro probably sends clipart of them to all its licensees.

Foxtale did say they were open to making more waves, so people should email them and let them know their favorite ponies, with a link to their My Little Wiki entry.

Or maybe Princess Sparkle love is just affected by the OC tv series 

Love her, she's one of my childhood ponies, I had a very small heard back then because we could't afford to buy  more than a couple toys in a year, she came from the flea shop, so I'm really happy to see her in march

Okay, she's more of a powder blue, but still.

Or maybe they saw a Nirvana Glory.

I think for Glory at least it's probably from the clip art Hasbro sends out.  Much the same way that Rarity sometimes ends up grey on merchandise.

And now I can also see how the toy designs have been affected by that retro clip art.  The hair is very similar.

I bet this means one of the chase figures will be Starshine.  She is used too frequently on retro merch for her to be left out.

There are several shirts, also a tin and a mug.  She was included in that set of stud earrings.  Target had a shirt featuring Glory on it in the men's section a few years ago.  Its one of my favorite pony shirts for wearing around the house.

Here's a link to zazzle.  There is two different Glory mugs right at the top.

I think they looked at the cartoons for the hair.  I can definitely see a difference between the fairly detailed bobs of Firefly and Applejack, who were in RaMC, versus the more marshmallowy hair of the ponies who were never in any cartoons (like Snuzzle).  Sundance's hair is also very much like it was in Escape from Katrina.

Applejack also has her freckles on her upper cheeks, right under her eyes, which is where she had them in Rescue at Midnight Castle.
