Davroth Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 So, we all remember "The Last Roundup" incident, and how, including me, people were worried that it meant the end for Derpy Hooves and her wall-eyed antics.Well, sleep easy, fellow bronies, because we caught a first glance at the Comic Con exclusive pony for this year.LinkThey dodge the name, clearly, but I do think it's a pretty cool gesture overall.

Rosewind Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I want one soooo bad! I would brush her mane every night and name her Derpy.It really is a good design -- maybe Hasbro will take a lesson from itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RarityDash Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Wow.... I envy those who end up getting their own Derpy.Wish I was going to Comic Con now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 If you're not going to either event, note that a limited number will be available at www.hasbrotoyshop.com after both conventions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashton Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Those will sell out like 1 second after posted because people with fiber-optic connections will be hitting "refresh" the moment the con is over. you only option for a derpy is to wait and pay ~$100+ for it on eBay a few days after the con Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacobob Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yeah, I hope this thing sells OUT. I want one, but by selling out, this will prove to Hasbro that there is a larger market for higher quality/show friendly figures. And yeah, loving the box. Muffins. Mmm.

Hollow Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I first saw this Derpy many months ago when she appeared on taobao. Eventually, EqD and the like said she was a fake.I knew deep down that something this accurate and well made couldn't be fake, and I was right. I can't wait to get one.

Hollow Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yeah but, you can outright tell that's shooped because of the hair. Fashion Style Derpy was bought by a pony fan, who took pictures of her at all angles. It was pretty obvious that she was real. The chinese workers in the factories that make the toys most likely have no idea who Derpy even is, let alone know about her enough to make an extremely accurate ripoff of her.I admit, I thought she may have been a prototype that was cancelled by Hasbro because of the Derpy voice fiasco (and therefore I'd never be able to get her ). But other than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrescentBlaze Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 well would you look at that! I guess this sort of starts to make up for the whole derpy fiasco, however justified it was. Still nice to see that they still give a hoof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to actually take a second of closer examination to be sure they were really in two different directions before I celebrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickLime Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Bleh the whole derpy fiasco still has me mad, I was so happy hearing her name get used, then 2 days later the Horse Poop spattered against the fan >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davroth Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yeah, the whole Derpygate incident left a really sour taste in my mouth.But hey, they can't take away our memories.

Davroth Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yeah, that's kinda how it always is, as an old saying goes: "This is why we can't have nice things!"Some people just want to be offended. Why? Beats me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickLime Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Honestly Derpy's original voice sounded like she had a head cold, it was cute and adorable and DIFFERENT, She didn't come off as retarded she came off bumbling and a little clumsy but well meaning.

tacobob Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 I love her voice in the Fan-made Dr Whooves toons. More Bubbly Blonde type of a voice for this one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
