Hell I might even buy another set just to make one of those badass nightmare moon customs.
Anyway, I'd recommend hitting the actual store up if possible! There is totally an achievement for it!

For those looking to mod some molded ponies, or anyone who hasn't already bought it, the FiM 5 pack is currently on sale for ten bucks. These are the only pony toys I have bought so far, (aside from the Mcdonalds ones) and I can definitely recommend them from a quality perspective. They are very much worth the sale price.

I've seen a similar deal at my local Target for $11.59, so if that's more convenient for you folks, check there too.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they have them online too...?
ReplyDeleteWhy in Celestia's name is Celestia pink!?
ReplyDeleteAlso why is Spike on all fours?
Wow, I was just at Toy's R Us a week ago looking at these and they were 20 bucks!
ReplyDeleteQuick, to the time machine!
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteCelestia's pink in all the toys.
Man, I was JUST at Target, and this guy wasn't on sale yet :/
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to find moulded figures in Canada. I found the 2.99 RainbowDash and Pinkie, but I'm having no luck finding the others.
ReplyDeleteSilly Hasbro, not making Applejack's hat.
ReplyDeleteYou're silly Hasbro!
AJ is not AJ without her wearing the hat!
ReplyDeleteBUT NOW I WANT RARITY, DASH & FLUTTERSHY VERSIONS!
ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting for when that merch poll kicks in over at Hasbro. I'm totally willing to buy stuff, but I'd rather not hurt myself trying to mod toys. I'm not exactly good with stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteI need a Rainbow Dash version of these toys.
ReplyDeleteI already had the pack.
No, Rainbow Dash?
ReplyDeleteAJ without her hat, Pink Celestia, all-fours Spike; Hasbro just does these things, they don't consult anyone else prior to designing, molding and shipping their toys.
ReplyDeleteWhere can i get a molded Rainbow Dash?
ReplyDelete(so wish they made Derpy toys, too)
Only molded Dashies so far are the Ponyville sized mini PVCs, which I've only seen at Marejers and Toys'r'Us online.
ReplyDeleteMine's been by my side since I got her and she's always made me smile. Though, so has the Pony Pokie, which apparently won't bring all the ponies to the yard, and also drives people away from garage sales.
I would get this if they did rarity, Dash, and Fluttershy. It just feels wrong to have an incomplete set.
ReplyDeleteStill these are the only pony toys that actually look like the show.
i think celestia shouldn't be pink and include applejacks hat, they need to add the other ponies as well if they do as so i wouldnt hesitate to purchase these.
ReplyDeleteYou know, if someone wanted to send a set of these to me I wouldn't say no, otherwise it's just another deal I have to let pass me by due to lack of funds.
ReplyDeleteThis is by far the msot common pony toy. I've seen it at every TRU, Walmart, and Target I've been to. It taunts me with its lack of Rarity, Dash, and Fluttershy. I want my PONIES DAMMIT.
ReplyDeleteDamnit. Just bought the thing for $20 a week ago.
ReplyDeletethese are at Wal-Marts too. I picked this up for 16.00 w/tax about a week ago.
ReplyDeleteWhere's my show accurate Fluttershy?!?!?!?!?!
I hope they'll get that pack here in Denmark at some point.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen it yet.
There are molded show accurate toys of ALL ponies, such as the small 2.99 ones (they come in blind bags in other places), and the McDonalds ones if you count them. Also Celestia comes in this 5 set and on her own as a large talking toy (but Celestia is ALWAYS pink).
ReplyDeleteThe playsets and such aren't show accurate, but rather done in G3 style, because it sells more to girls.
At least over here in Canada, I've seen each G4 toy in Wal-Marts and Toys R Us, but never bought any. I'm waiting for a complete set (and looking to finish my McDonalds set).
@Lance Banson
ReplyDeleteyou are lucky, I saw it at my Target for $23.95
I bought this for $15 at Target here in hopes that they will release a similarly sized set with the remaining ponies. I may try to repaint Celestia this week, because her hoof guards being the same color as her legs bothers me more than her being pink.
ReplyDeletethey didn't have this at my local walmart OR Toys r us. Totally ordered a set as an early birthday present to myself.
ReplyDeleteNow I just need to get some white paint and fix celestia. Maybe if I have the extra money I'll buy another pack and try to mod Celestia into nightmare moon.
Maybe spending the hundreds of dollars on warhammer figures and paint as a kid will finally pay off :D
Bought one of these from Toys r Us's ebay store, because the shipping is cheaper. I may pick up another one to make a Nightmare Moon, and to repaint Twilight's hair to make it a little more accurate.
ReplyDeleteI don't really care about AJ's hat, but Celestia in pink and half of the Mane Cast missing is just No.
ReplyDeleteOnly pony toys I've got so far too, and yeah, it's annoying that AJ lacks her hat, odd that Spike is on all fours, but the toys themselves are good molds (their hair is shaped just like it's supposed to be) and are made of quality plastic.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I rage (not really) about Celestia being pink instead of white-with-a-hint-of-pink, but the real insult is that.. her hooves aren't painted! They've got her fancy horseshoes on her, as in the show, but they're the same color as her skin! What the heck? A little modeling paint could solve that, but eh..
So I'd give this toy set a rating of about 7.5 or so. -1 for Celestia's colors, -1 for the minor things I mentioned, and -0.5 for lack of AJ's hat!
CELESTIA IS NOT GODDAMN PINK ARGGGGhhhh
ReplyDeleteseriously I'm not buying any swag until they make Celestia correctly.
They wont make a proper celestia, She is pink due to a marketing decision most likely. Pink girl toys stand sell more, at least in the minds of store owners. A large scale figure such as Celestia would take up more shelf space so in order to make them move faster and sell more units stores more than likely told Hasbro to pinkify her. Same reason in any boys line of figures female charecters are producedin shorter numbers than male charecters
ReplyDeleteits all friggin marketing
I just bought it! Such a great product. And I get 20 points for it too. ^^
ReplyDeleteAlso,
>Nightmare Moon custom
>shutupandtakemymoney.jpg
Doesn't ship to the UK /sigh.
ReplyDeleteI totally want a set!
ReplyDeleteWhen the day comes they actually get the Cast Right, then I'll Buy Every Pony-Related thing. >_>
ReplyDeleteI've seen this on the internet somewhere else. Aside from the 3 already pointed out flaws, it looks pretty decent. Not available for sale here, though, and lack of Fluttershy is going to keep me away from buying this as of now.
ReplyDeleteBought it, pretty happy with it, although I'm kind of horrified by the art in the storybook that comes with it.
ReplyDeleteMan i'd buy one of those nightmare moon customs.
ReplyDeleteOne thing to note about this set is that, at least the one I got, the ponies only have their cutie mark on one side. Not sure if mine is a misprint or something, but future buyers do take that into account at least.

ReplyDeleteCelestia toys are pink because in the show, her outline is pink. And three dimensional figures are hard to outline, trust me, I've tried.
@Vaitin
ReplyDeleteEvery pony toy Hasbro makes only has the cutie marks on one side. iirc, I read that they started doing that in G3.
But what's the point of a pony pack with A-Jack and no Rainbow Dash? Haven't they ever heard of Appledash?
ReplyDeleteWhy does Celestia always have to look weird as a toy?
ReplyDeleteThis is in the right timing! I was looking for a Pony toy sale. Is it still in sale? I hope it is.
