Oh yes, we all fondly love that episode where Pinkie Pie drives her car around Rarity's carousel. And a toy that breaks during the demonstration. That's a good selling point.
They're going to stick with their tried and true marketing style until forced out of it. The toys are the core product, and the show is a satellite product meant to help promote them. You have to invert that scheme before you start seeing toys based on the show. I don't really know how to do that except for letter-writing and refusing to buy the shittier toys.
Really the only thing I would consider out of that pile is Cheerilee's schoolhouse thingy.
I'm never going to be able to sleep well again after seeing that Pinkie doll, never, there are just some things in this world that were better left untouched, and that doll is one of them, sharing place with the atom bomb.
That Pinkie doll is so hilariously bad that I think I might buy it.
"Walkwalkwalk!"
You walk on ALL FOURS as an adult, so why would you walk on two legs as a baby?!
@Vanilla If it wasn't that the toys and cartoons were being made separately, the cartoons themselves would be altered to advertise the toys. We don't want THAT, do we?
Remember, there will never be toys based specifically on the show, because to Hasbro this show is just a 30 minute commercial.
The keychains aren't shown because they aren't from Hasbro; they're from a company called Basic Fun who bought a license from Hasbro to make keychains and other little things based on their properties.
I'm probably going to have to buy some of this shit just to make sure they have more seasons of the show. Executives don't think like you and I, cause and effect is muddied for them. The toys not selling won't mean they'll change the toys, it'll mean they'll scrap the show, since it clearly (sarcasm mode) isn't doing its job.
Dunno why people keep thinking they'll never make toys based on the show. Obviously, more of this set is a little more tailored to the look and feel of the show than the first gen 4 batch, and I have a sneaking feeling that at least a couple guys at Habro actually look around the 'net and try to find people's reactions to their toys. The unforseen widespread popularity of the show mixed with how many people, more than likely even a large chunk of their little girl audience preferring the McDonald's toys to their own, has probably already, and will continue to, send them a message.
I like the orgasm sound the photographer makes when she turns on Rarity's carousel boutique, pure fangasm right there
~I have a sneaking feeling that at least a couple guys at Habro actually look around the 'net and try to find people's reactions to their toys --Where's the Derpy model?
The basic ponies and their playsets are very closely modeled to the show. But little girls want to buy more then just that. And they are still the target market for these toys.
They really should make the characters out of that bendable plastic like a gumby doll, then they could actually give them more posing ability.
I would propose a Revoltech MLP:FIM line. You can set the posses, and even change the faces or heads to illustrate the various expressions sported throughout the show. They could come with little saddle packs for each character, and even have differently shaped wings to depict flight for the pegasai.
Fluttershy with little animal friends and her bunny. Applejack with a barrel of apples and an apple tree to kick. Rainbow Dash with a cloud and extra pieces to depict her Sonic Rainboom. Twilight Sparkle with a reading mantle and books. Pinkie Pie with balloon/party accessories and some baked goodies. Rarity with a pony mannequin body and some rolls of material.
Plush versions, I'd buy one of each of the main characters.
And why is Carousel fashions a Carousel? A set with dressmaking dummies, and extra clothes sets and a circular stage would work so much better, with the stage rotating and playing music so you could create your own fashion shows.
You could have a USB port so you could download music into it, and bundle it with a secret code to get a MLP FiM music maker piece of software you'd download from a Hasbro website. After all girls use computers too.
That newborn thing... It's... terrifying Would kids even play with a toy that might eat them in their sleep? *coughthatplaysetlookednothinglikeraritysshopcough*
I hope these toys don't sell, yet the show's ratings make these people think better than to cancel the show itself.
Would it kill them to make screen-accurate models, including forgoin the doll wigs and using instead soft silicon castings? Then perhaps do the rest of the toy out of semi-hard silicon, so they can be as durable as toys? I've already seen some awesome fanmade 3D renderings that I would definitely buy, unlike the sad stuff I saw in this video.

ReplyDeleteEverything else looks fucking awesome though. It's a shame I don't live in America so I can't get any of this.
it was on that day that baby pinky pie rose from the depths of hell to make sure no man,woman,or child ever has pleasant dreams
ReplyDelete>mfw the guy filming it was fangasming at the carousel
ReplyDeleteI don't believe there's any explanation possible that could make the vast majority of Hasbro's MLP toyline seem less lame.
ReplyDeleteJust let Lauren Faust design the toys, Hasbro.
Oh my gosh! I can´t sleep
ReplyDeletepinkie pie will feed on me

ReplyDeleteStrawberry Shortcake?
ReplyDeleteHA!
Most of this is G3 and G3.5 rehash, it's just sad really.

ReplyDeleteAt least, that's what my pessimism tells me.

How is babby pinkie formed?

AH!
ReplyDeleteThe Pike-Pie doll laughed when she put it back down.
Scary!

ReplyDeleteI would love an episode about Pinkie terrorising the streets of Ponyville without knowing it and Rarity must flee for her crazycarracing.
That newborn thing...
ReplyDeleteIt's... terrifying
Would kids even play with a toy that might eat them in their sleep?
