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. I haven't seen any Retro Clipart of GloryThere 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.http://www.zazzle.com/my+little+pony+glory+gifts

Quote from: Sunset on February 15, 2016, 04:58:45 PMHmm, 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.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.

*shrugs*. It's baffling how Rarity keeps ending up grey, sometimes really dark grey, and yet it keeps happening.
He did say they were planning to make more waves. He was really into convincing Hasbro that G1 Ponies are important to us and we want more merch. I know there are clear pictures out there but I forgot to post the full list of characters to avoid confusion (based on their symbols):ApplejackSundanceLickety Split SnuzzleGustyGloryFireflyMinty Princess Sparkle**Mystery Chase FigureI still want a Bowtie in the next wave. ;p

I think they're going to concentrate on the first five years to begin with since they are better known.

I guess because of the eyes since there is no bottom line on the eyes of most of the charactersPost Merge: February 16, 2016, 05:35:33 AMQuote from: Foxtale on February 16, 2016, 05:19:25 AMHe did say they were planning to make more waves.

Gee I wonder where that came from

Gee I wonder where that came fromI can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but I'll say it anyways. I've seen a lot of MLP 'fans' hate G1. I look at pictures of G1 ponies and art on Deviant-art, the comments are usually full of hatred and ignorance. They seem to forget no G1, no MLP.
