Ginger Mint Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 hi hiOh my... judging by when they're supposed to come out. If I squirrel away a nickel every day. I should be able to buy one or two of them by the time they come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfox64x Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 They certainly look better than the other ones, but i still think that having brushable hair makes them look funny... I just want plastic hair, or maybe rubber so it's malleable... Either way i want it to look more authentic, i'm actually more interested in the McD toy's than this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accountdeleted Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 these toys are defiantly a step in the right direction.Nightmare Moon is awesome, so is the DJ. A non-pink 'tia? AWESOME.I have never been a fan of brushies, and these are not enough to change that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dessa Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Finally.You've been a pony fan since the 1800s. Tell me, Scotchie, has Hasbro always been this slow to respond to the wants of fans? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me, Scotchie, has Hasbro always been this slow to respond to the wants of fans?Considering I was in a room with the Hasbro marketing department in 2007 while they answered our pleas about having boy ponies in the g3 line and maybe bot having them in the same damn pose, or releasing more editions of Pinkie Pie with "you're not our target audience"?Yes.Also, 1800's. Cute. Real cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Maybe there's a white Celestia because of the pink Princess Cadence toy coming out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelEagle Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Probably, but I'd rather think that it is them listening to us. My buzz, stop harshin' on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buzz, stop harshin' on it!Well, may be a bit of both. 'Hey, Bronies want white Celestia... Well, we have the pink Princess Cadence coming out, and the white Celestia uses the same mold/design as the pink Celestia... Eh, why not? All the parents that were going to get a a pink Celestia for their kid got it for them for Christmas, so we've milked that cow for what it's worth!'

HopeFox Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 It is very sensible and shrewd of Hasbro to start selling toys that will appeal to adult viewers but still work just as well for children as their existing ones. Sure, any kids who haven't seen "Boast Busters" don't know who Trixie is. But they don't know who Lily Blossom is, either, so they haven't lost anything there. (If Trixie comes with a pet swan, I'm buying her in an instant.)I think this is all just symptomatic of the long lead-time of toy development. The mane six, the Cutie Mark Crusaders and the Princesses weren't just created at the same time as Episode 1, they were part of Lauren Faust's Development Bible, and Hasbro has known about them and how they were going to look since day one. Whereas Mrs Cake, for example, was probably only created when "Applebuck Season" was in development, so any toy based on her would take a lot longer to come to market. Now, finally, characters from early Season 1 are coming through the process.So, how long until we start seeing fanart and fanfic about Zecora glowing in the dark?

Dessa Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Vinyl Scratch is a fan name. DJ P0N-3 was used in an ad, but it hasn't been used in any toys or the cartoon, and it's hard to say whether that's official. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 ...she's HAD an official name, she's "Vinyl Scratch" with the official Stage Name of "DJ PON-3"Citation needed. Seriously, where did you hear that it was in any way official? I'm with Dessa on this. Sure, DJ P0N-3 was used in an add by The Hub... but that in no way makes it official, as all names have to go through Hasbro and the toy makers. Hasbro ≠ The Hub, The Hub = Hasbro. While The Hub is apart of Hasbro, The Hub probably does not have any say on toys, and Hasbro let's them do their own thing... like making Equestria Girls. That came from The Hub, not Hasbro. The Hub is the employees, Hasbro is the owner. Somewhere between them is a manager, which Hasbro trust to handle The Hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Well she's also called DJ PON-3 on all the officially licensed We Love Fine shirts (both in desc and printed on the shirt itself) I assume Hasbro has to approve licensing, though I could be wrong and WLF is another 'hub' that isnt tied directly to canon...

HopeFox Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 "DJ P0N-3" really doesn't sound like a pony name, though, whereas "Vinyl Scratch" fits precisely with Equestrian naming convention. I'll be happy with either name, although I prefer "Vinyl Scratch", and I think it's the one we're more likely to see on the toy packaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger Mint Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 hi hiDJ P0N-3 was referenced by that name in an advertisement for the show, and I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the names like Heartstrings or Golden Harvest, I mean they tried to rename Trixie "Lulamoon," for some reason. (Just look at the cutie mark.)I guess I wouldn't be surprised either way. That's all I'm really trying to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mane is completely wrong, I'm not sure it's supposed to be Trixie, they could have just reused the cutiemark (look how many ponies we've seen with hourglasses for instance --- yes some of them may be a Dr Who(oves) joke, but there are mares too and unless I'm mistaken there's never been a female Doctor, so...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fairly sure that's supposed to be trixie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
