| Note: These are the old toys, not the new ones |
Someone named EVN tipped me off in email about some upcoming McDonalds, so I called the them up to confirm it.
Apparently another wave of ponies is planned for March 9th (though she told me not to quote her on that exact date), along with Transformers on the boys side. They don't know specifically what characters/designs will be available, but she did say they usually try to release new sets, so hopefully something awesome pops up.
I was also told that this is going to be a huge promotion, and they expect to sell out of them pretty quickly. I guess our rabid collecting last time around tipped them off? We didn't have much access to blind bags back then, so these and the five piece molded set were the only show accurate stuff we could get our hands on (Even if McDonalds toys aren't really known for their quality). It sure was funny trying to sneak into McDonalds incognito style only to be called out as the third guy to come looking for ponies for his "Niece" or "Sister". I'm sure it will be twice as funny this time around.

Now why would anybody try to sneak into McDonalds?
ReplyDeleteWE NEED THEM ALL!!!!
ReplyDeleteIn the name of GIO Bronies, I blame first!
ReplyDelete*claim
ReplyDeleteWow my connection is slow today
ReplyDeleteoh no, This will not end well for most of us...
ReplyDeleteTo quote Dash: "Awwww, yeah!"
ReplyDeleteI missed the first round. I never went to McDonalds to eat, so I didn't hear about them until after they were gone. :( But I'll try and get some this time around. :D
sooo awesome!
ReplyDeleteYES! I became a brony too late for the last batch. I WILL NOT MISS THIS CHANCE!
ReplyDeletesooo awesome!
ReplyDeleteUgh, I hate McDonald's. Perhaps I'll try ordering a pony and telling them to hold the food.
ReplyDeleteFirst Happy Meal in a long time. Gonna be nostalgic!
ReplyDeleteI won't hide my motives.
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that when I saw 'along with Transformers on the boys side', I thought "Hang on, isn't this the boys side?" Although from the sounds of it, the majority of these toys may well go to bronies rather than the demographic they were originally aimed at =P
ReplyDeleteI work at McDonald's, so I knew this waaay before this post!
ReplyDeleteAs Rainbow Dash would say, "SO AWESOME!"
This all over the world or just US?
ReplyDeleteI wasn't a brony back when they first did McDonald's toys, so maybe I will try this time. I can only wonder how I'll manage that.
ReplyDeleteYou can purchase the toys without getting a Happy Meal, right?
I'll be raging my McDonald's hard.
ReplyDeleteOh great, give Americans yet another reason to flock McDonalds.......>__>
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get all of these! It may be my fever or something, I'm not sure but I do not know the pink ponies on either side. I thought one was supposed to be Celestia but I think it's wrong? I dunno I might just not be seeing them right lol
ReplyDeleteI may have to go and get some.....
ReplyDeleteIs it possible these could be the light up ponies?
ReplyDelete@Darkeon Warlord
ReplyDeleteDangit!
"I was also told that this is going to be a huge promotion, and they expect to sell out of them pretty quickly."
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be insane. Like Black Friday for Bronies.
And I'm going to love the look I get when I say I want the girls toy not the Transformers.
Is this global? Any chance on seeing those in Poland? I have 3 younger sisters, so I've got a nice excuse :D
ReplyDeleteand Celestia is still pink...
ReplyDeleteBut why pink Celestia?!
ReplyDelete@archiveit
ReplyDeletemy thoughts exactly lol
Dear lord PINKCELESTIA WHY!
ReplyDeleteWho's 'we'? What country are these for? I need some in the UK like... now.
ReplyDeleteSo it appears they're ready for us this time around. Luckily the only times I go to McDonalds, it's with my sister, so it won't look too out of the blue.
ReplyDeleteIn b4 APPLEJACK Y U NO HAT/ CELESTIA IS PINK rage.
ReplyDelete*sigh* Still a pink Celestia?
ReplyDeleteA Fluttershy with the authentic hair style? Good looking miniatures?
ReplyDeleteI may just have to go to a McDonald's in March and get these. I'm not sure if I have to purchase the toys separately from food...I would prefer to if I could. I wouldn't want to buy six Happy Meals just to get these after all.
I must have them. I must! I MUST!
Also pointing out that the McDonalds toys are currently available in The Netherlands, and will be coming to Belgium next month.
ReplyDeleteI'll go pose as a 8 year old girl right away
ReplyDeletePinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Applejack,
ReplyDeleteY U NO HAVE 3???
looks like ill be eating alot more McDonal's come march
ReplyDeleteNvm....dumb comment - delay..
ReplyDeleteYou can usually ask at the counter for just the toy for about a quid (couple dollars maybe in America)
ReplyDeleteAre you able to get the toys alone, or do you have to buy a kid's meal? Just making sure. Even though I'm fifteen, I can probably get away with either.
ReplyDeleteWow those are actually show accur-....PINKESTIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1one
ReplyDeleteEasy, order a meal for you and a kids meal for your 'sister' out in the car. Eat both of the meals silently in your car whilst stroking your new pony.
ReplyDeleteEasy, order a meal for you and a kids meal for your 'sister' out in the car. Eat both of the meals silently in your car whilst stroking your new pony.
ReplyDeleteYup. McDonalds better keep a good stock of these. Luckily, there's two McDonalds locations near where I live (Astoria, NY) so if it's not at one, there's the other.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for mcdonalds derpy
ReplyDeleteTheir simplified cutie marks are kind of cute. :3
ReplyDeleteThey're re-using the same ones from last year? Boo :(
ReplyDeleteHa
ReplyDelete@Flutterfan
ReplyDeletehappy meals have gone to utter shit.
McDonalds
ReplyDeleteY U no make Celestia White or have Luna instead of Cherelie
See, this is where the fact that there are twenty kajillion McDonald restaurants is a good thing. I can simply travel to one that, while several miles out of my way, will be one that I don't visit frequently. That way, no fear of future embarrassment!
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a lot less work than kidnapping several young girls off the street and make them come into the restaurant with me. Last time I did that, those girls beat me up and not only stole the cool toys, but also my wallet. Let me tell you something, they can kick shins HARD!!!
@Bombedrumbum
ReplyDeletepssh. like i need a reason to eat at McDonalds. Quarter Pounders already attract me.
Pink Celestia. . . We meet again.
ReplyDelete@wackypony Don't tell that to my sister. She'll tear into one like Rarity did to the pie in Epic Pie Time.
ReplyDeleteYou can purchase the toys without a meal. We did it last time! :3
ReplyDeleteMcDonalds employees everywhere, brace yourselves for the herd. It will be as if the number of nieces and sisters doubled overnight!
ReplyDeleteWhy you troll us with pink Celestia Hasbro? T^T
ReplyDelete@Joe That's just the old picture, we don't know which characters it will be yet.
ReplyDeleteMy wishlist
-Luna
-Diamond Tiara
-Trixie
-Fleur
-CMC
Man up, balls to the wall, gimmie a happy meal, (what a deal!) ponies for all, and one for me!
ReplyDeleteThe toys by themselves typically go for around 2 bucks in America.
ReplyDeleteI know this because I've bought Pokémon Toys by themselves at McDonalds before.
Ah yah can i get a number 1 and a Twilight Sparkle toy?
ReplyDelete@wackypony
ReplyDeleteLet's see........five bucks for one good burger, or five bucks for five cheap burgers........
Hmm.....
Inb4 Spike has a brushable tail and people abruptly stop complaining about pinklestia, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou guys do know you don't actually have to order a meal to get the toys, right? You can just ask over the counter for all the My Little Pony toys and they'll charge you a few pounds/dollars/whatever for them. You don't need to buy any food... Though I prefer to. :3
ReplyDeleteI'm like the only Brony in my area. And at least the only one who can drive to the nearest mickey d's so I should have a ripe pick :P
ReplyDeleteSo are these the actual toys?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait!
@CityFlyer502
ReplyDeleteyour sister's never had a real happy meal.
those things used to come with a nice sized soda, a good amount of fries, and a nice juicy hamburger. now, it's mandatory apple slices, less fries, whatever the hell burger and last i heard no soda, milk only or some shit.
i stopped eating at McDonalds outside of Double/Single QUarter Pounders and McGriddles.
The picture from last year is just an illustration for the post... I don't think they'll be the same figures as last year.
ReplyDelete@Bombedrumbum
ReplyDeleteI'll spend the 5 on 1.
:[
@Chaoyll Definitely agree with the last point. You're already there, so why not pick up a burger while you're at it.
ReplyDeleteThose are the McDonalds toys from the previous FiM round, people. Though if there's a Celestia in the next round, she's likely to be pink again. But who knows.
ReplyDeleteI usually abstain from Mcdonalds but this might make me gain a few pounds!
ReplyDeleteHuzzah for ponies!
(can't wait to see the tellers expression when I order a kids meal with a girls toy!)
I hate waiting.
ReplyDeleteI will walk right in and say "I want one of every type of pony toy"
ReplyDeleteI don't normally eat McDonald's, but when I do, I order a happy meal just for ponies. I just hope there aren't a whole bunch of closet brownies in my area, as I'm hoping to get them all.
ReplyDeleteI remember looking back at past posts on Equestria Daily about the McDonalds toys. Today, I don't really see why we'd have to "sneak in" to buy ponies from McDonalds. Although, I'd love to see how many guys actually buy the entire sets from McDonalds. They're going to sell out so hard...
ReplyDelete@wackypony Well, you get my point. She's only five so I doubt any of that matters to her. Of course I remember when the happy meal was the happy meal. Times have changed, obviously.
ReplyDeleteTransformers and Ponies!? I am going to get so fat that month.
ReplyDeleteFlocking to McDonalds the DAY these get there.
ReplyDelete"Oh, hello, I'd like to order a Happy Meal for my sister. Oh, and she wants two toys, preferably the yellow pony and the purple one."
"She... specified?"
"Yes."
"And where is she?"
"Oh, she's... at home right now."
"Where are your parents?"
"Also at home."
"They sent you to get her a Happy Meal instead of driving you two in the car?"
"Yeah."
"..."
@Bombedrumbum Wait... oh my, you just enlightened me. Five cheap hamburgers must have WAY more meat than a Quarter Pounder!
ReplyDeleteENTER FRUGALITY!
Oh yeah... Transformers? I assume those are the girl's toys, right?
ReplyDeletePink Celestia (again)
ReplyDeleteSingle image cutiemarks
Rainbow Dash has "Firefly"'s cutiemark.
...I don't care, I'll still try to get just one.
@White Ink
ReplyDelete"Quality">Quantity here.
though, i bet a quarter pounder is healthier for you than 5 hamburgers.
This would be great if I didn't know and/or go to school with at least one employee at each McDonald's by me. Time to try out the ski-mask-sunglasses-drive-through technique.
ReplyDeleteMy B-Day's in March so...
ReplyDeletepony toys for me!
Fortunately for me, I know a person who works at McDonalds. Even better, they already know I'm a brony. I think I shall try for a full set. ^_^
ReplyDeleteIf only McDonalds didn't taste so disgusting I could actually eat the food while pretending to buy stuff for my fictional daughter and her friends.
ReplyDelete@wackypony
ReplyDeleteA quarter pounder has more calories than eating everything in the entire world all at once that wasn't McDonalds related.
Doesn't stop them being tasty though. (;
@wackypony
ReplyDeleteYou just reminded me of one of my favorite Doug Benson lines: "Could I have a McGriddles, please?"
Yeah, well I hope that the new popcorn chicken lasts long enough that it'll still be there when these babies show up
ReplyDeleteOf course, Dad always asks for the happy meals (regardless of gender) for collector's purposes (he has a whole box of various toys accumulated over these months). I wonder....
Princess celestia still pink...
ReplyDelete*sigh*
I don't owe anyone an explanation! I will walk right in and ask for myself. But they will probably begin to suspect when I ask for the ponies by name and not 'the yellow one with the curly hair'.
ReplyDeletePeople, read the whole post. Those aren't the upcoming toys. The ponies picked to be the new toys are a mystery.
ReplyDeleteCould be Derpy for all we know.
Begin your speculation.
You know, there are so many pink celestia toys. I have to wonder if it'll be incorporated into the show like Tank. wow that'd be hilarious. Return of Discord or something like that maybe?
ReplyDelete@archiveit
ReplyDeleteYou should be able to just purchase the toy separately. I know all McD franchises are different, but at the one I work at you can buy the toys alone for about $1.25
Anyone know if these will be available in Canada?
ReplyDeleteI am straight up just gonna be like "Ponies. Gimme. Ponies. Now. All of them."
ReplyDeleteIf we get them in the UK.
I am excited by this, though I despise McDonald's and have no intention of actually buying any food. XP
ReplyDeleteI'm almost 17 and I don't have a McDonald's anywhere close.
ReplyDeleteThis is gonna be fun!
Is it US-only? Any chance for Europe to get these?
ReplyDeleteI'll go and buy full set when they appear here. Can't wait to see the worker's face.
Five Guys Burgers.
ReplyDeleteIf they started selling these, they'd make a killing
Can somebody help me? How can i get these without raising suspicion?
ReplyDelete@Raven
ReplyDeleteThe first set already is in Europe right now.
@Nate (The wolff) Gee
ReplyDeleteSimple. Kidnap a child.
So we get blind bags but you get awesome show accurate pony toys? Not faaaaair! ;w;
ReplyDeletelol I'm a vegetarian but I'll find some way to get a toy, even if I have to try to just buy the Happy Meal, or give the food to s homeless person and keep the toy!
ReplyDeleteI'LL FIGURE OUT A WAY!
Especially since I missed the toys last yea since I joined after the season ended and the toys were long gone!
YESYESYESYESYESYES I WILL FIND A WAY BABY! XD
@Ink
ReplyDeleteI said this already so I'll say it again - you don't need to buy any food. You can buy the toys seperately if you ask over the counter.
>Go to EQD
ReplyDelete>See that new Pony toys are coming out on my birthday (hopefully)
>Mind blown.
>Squee
@Chaoyll
ReplyDeleteWell, Europe is more... diversified than US, and here in Poland we have Puss in Boots toys now. There were never any MLP toys in McD. :(
I easily obtained Mane Five blind bags though, so living here is not that bad. ^^
We're yet to see any ponies in happy meals in the UK. Which is a shame because they're doing them alongside pokemon Black and White toys on the continent atm (and I am a massive sucker for Snivy).
ReplyDelete@Flutterfan That would be nice, but considering the recent Derpy controversy it would be very unlikely, among other reasons.
ReplyDelete@Raven
ReplyDeleteMane FIVE?! o.O I think you're missing out somepony.
I will fight to the death for that Rainbow Dash!
ReplyDelete@Chaoyll
ReplyDeleteNope. It's just that 'Shy is not available in normal packages, and since it's just a recolor of RD and I didn't feel like searching through real blind bags, I just settled with five.
Got to catch 'em all.
ReplyDeleteAnd I will.
@Raven
ReplyDeleteOh, good point... I bought the four-pack tube they did with Rainbow, Twilight, Pinkie and Rarity in it and I had to buy AJ and Fluttershy off eBay. Of course, two days after they both arrive, the seperate boxes are then available in Tesco so I could've bought AJ a lot cheaper/easier... -.-
I was wondering at the fact that McDonald's could create toys that were more show-accurate than Hasbro's. Then I saw the cutie marks. (and took an arrow to the knee)
ReplyDelete@Chaoyll Yeah, that's the same path I took. Still looking for a Fluttershy under $10...
ReplyDeleteAs a new brony recruit i am extremely happy to see this. Mcdonalds is my usual, "I-dont-have-any-time-on-my-lunch-break-and-I-am-broke-anyways" food.
ReplyDeleteI hope this is the old picture.
ReplyDeleteRainbow Dash's mane is so messed up in this set O_O
Gotta go to McDonald's and order a Big Mac with ponies.
ReplyDeleteAs a new brony recruit i am extremely happy to see this. Mcdonalds is my usual, "I-dont-have-any-time-on-my-lunch-break-and-I-am-broke-anyways" food.

ReplyDeleteOh my God! I'm so Happy! I was really upset I missed out on the first set ( I remember them at McDonald's before I became a brony). My local McDonald's is going to get so pissed at me for always going in to buy happymeals with ponies! :) I just hope they don't butcher the designs too bad...
ReplyDeleteI'm finally gonna get a pony! :'D
ReplyDeleteSo happy!

ReplyDeleteYAY March is the month of my birthday , that myth when those come out I'm a going to McD's to get them ^^ w00t!
ReplyDeleteRainbow is wearing Applejack's hat.
ReplyDeletelolwut?
Hey guys, can I borrow one of your 3 year old daughters for a day so I have an excuse to buy this?
ReplyDeleteIn recent news, fast food megachain Macdonalds experienced a 25% increase in sales due to "toy promotion".
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of excuse shall I make up to buy these wonderful toys.
ReplyDeleteThe local McDonalds better be well stocked, because I am going to talk my mother into as many McDonalds trips as possible. Ponies are a must have.
ReplyDeleteI like how McDonalds pays much more attention to what the characters look like than Hasbro does.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about you guys, but I am just going to suck it up and by it. Who cares if other people think we are weird? All I know is that it is awesome!
ReplyDeleteNote: Old Toys not new ones.
ReplyDeleteBetter not be another Pinkestia and Luna + Trixie is a must have.
~Duskstar
Where's Luna?
ReplyDeleteAlso, do I got through the drive-through or not? I missed the first batch as well.
This is an unofficial challenge to those testing how manly they are. Those you are able to get all the different toys win. Chaaaaaaaaaaarge! (haha I work at McDonalds in Canada, hopefully they will be giving them out there too!)
ReplyDeleteTime to go to McD's now. lolz.
ReplyDelete"I like how McDonalds pays much more attention to what the characters look like than Hasbro does."
ReplyDeleteLOLOL so true.
If it's just the mane six again, then I'll pass. The Brushables are more accurate for me than the McD's are.
ReplyDeleteBut if they make background ponies...There's no telling what I'll do for a Bon Bon, and I might involuntarily kill people if I have to if there's a Lyra/Heartstrings too.
@BigluluYes, they are going to be in Canada. We already have some in stock behind the counter. PS I work at a McD's! :)
ReplyDeleteMe: I'll have a happy meal please..
ReplyDeleteThem: Okay... Here you ar-
Me: No! THE PONY ONE!!!
About 2 months from now. I hope my sister will continue to work at McDonalds during the time. I can take advantage of the situation and tell her to get me a whole set on the day they arrive at the restaurant.
ReplyDeleteI shall do whatever it takes to get them all, even if this McDonald's will probably fail like all those other times I tried to get new, cool toys, and they were the same damn ones over and over again. Good thing I'm a female because when I go into McDonald's, they assume I'm babysitting or something, and my uncle likes to collect the toys for future profit, so he's usually always getting a happy meal before work. XD
ReplyDeleteReminds me of when I tried (and failed) to collect the Nintendo series McDonalds toys.
ReplyDeleteI still have that spinning Kirby top.
The thought of grown men trying to buy these entertains me.
I missed the first wave because well it's McDonald's so yeah but here's my chance to redeem myself
ReplyDeleteI'ma be bustin' out the employee discount. Oh yeah!
ReplyDeleteFirst glance at the picture: "Fluttershy with show-accurate hair? NICE!"
ReplyDeleteSecond glance at the picture: "What the hell is up with the cutie marks?"
Twilight and Celestia seem to at least have the right *shape*, but the colors are still completely wrong.
I'll defiantly be hitting this up. Though I hope my cousin doesn't tag along. I'd be too embarrassed if I had to order him a girly transformer toy.
ReplyDeleteStill haven't had mcDonalds toys in the UK as far as I'm aware :-(
ReplyDeleteI don't go to MDs due to their horrific animal abuse, but it's a good thing I've got eBay so I can get my toys anyway.
ReplyDelete@wackypony As a current worker I can safely say that all your problems can be solved in one very simple way: asking. Say can I get a larger fry instead of apples? Or Can I get a medium sprite instead of child sized. We will do it, and at most it will cost you one cent. Also you can indeed get soda. And hurray for ponies! I won't need to ask for them, I can just take them from the back room!
ReplyDeleteI have the perfect plan. Since my mom already knows im a Brony and i ask for McDonald's, i won't go with her to order it. That way, i will satisfy my Bronyness, wile keeping my dignity as a man. :-)
ReplyDeletei dont know if its just me but i have to say they look more like the ponies from the show then the ones you buy from the store do.
ReplyDelete@Hat Don't ask for toys by their name. We don't pay attention to that stuff. describe it to us or you'll be getting confused looks.(Unless the person is also a brony)
ReplyDeleteI have the perfect plan. Since my mom already knows im a Brony and i ask for McDonald's, i won't go with her to order it. That way, i will satisfy my Bronyness, wile keeping my dignity as a man. :-)
ReplyDeleteI now have a reason to go to MD's after class. Do I need to get a kid's meal for this? Yeah? Well, I'm not giving my friends rides home in March then.
ReplyDeleteBut I will obtain at least one show-accurate pony before this fandom dies. (I swear, if I get pink Celestia...)
well now I could get ponies and a meal.
ReplyDeleteThe first wave (the one in the picture) has been selling here in the Nordic countries during december-january.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, they only give out one specific pony per week.
So it has been my weekly habit to stroll into McD on monday afternoon and order "A Tall Latte and a My Little Pony Toy on the side".
Nobody seems to give a hoot as long as it's part of an order. Only problem is, Twillight Sparkle sold out everywhere in like three days and threw the rotation off-schedule.
Dude, I have the Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie up there right next to me. Got them when my dad took me and my friend to McDonalds on a half day...how is that possible?
ReplyDeleteWant that Cheerilee. I'll have to go again and ask for her.
....I can totally just go in and get a happy meal and like something else to go so it doesn't look totally awkward for a 19 year old girl to buy a happy meal
ReplyDeletemy mom got a pinkie pie and celestia last time mcdonalds had ponies
ReplyDelete(i hope they have luna this time)
I'm going to order a happy meal, take the toy out, cheer at whichever pony I got, and make it blatantly obvious that I ordered it for me.
ReplyDeleteawesome! I had never even heard of the show when the last batch was out. I will be sure to try and get all of these. cant have to much pony!
ReplyDeleteI'll just wait for Amazon to get these and then buy them there.
ReplyDelete*lives in New Zealand* .......TO VARIOUS TRADING AND ONLINE STORES WEBSITES!!
ReplyDeleteI hope they would release it in the Philippines too!~ D:
ReplyDeleteComing in March?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to me!
>opened image from email
ReplyDelete>clicked on each pony
>nothing happened
I have been lied to!
pst* hey guess what? I'm EVN glad you guys like my snooping
ReplyDeleteCelestia's still pinki?!
ReplyDelete@Melon Hunter
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I had the exact same reaction. It hit the part about Transformers, and I was all "Wait, what?" I guess I fully surrendered my masculinity months ago, and it's never felt better.
So in March teenage boys and men are going to raid McDonald's to get all of the girls' toys? Sweet.
ReplyDeleteI'm still a closet brony, but I'm a McD manager. Pony thmemed window clings and toys? :megusta:
ReplyDeleteTime to start eating at McDonalds again. I just wish they had a meatless happy meal.
ReplyDeleteJust a reminder to everyone who plans on buying them en mass (as I am unfortunately an employee at McDonalds). Try not to come in during a breakfast, lunch, or dinner rush, go inside (DO NOT ASK WHILE IN THE DRIVE THRU, all you'll manage to do is piss everyone off.) when it's very slow and there's more than 1 person at the register.
ReplyDeleteAlso, each McDonalds has what's known as a "customer satisfaction" box. We're only given 1 for each promotion so if you ask for a specific pony (go by color scheme, we don't remember which number each is and only a brony would know their names) there's a good chance they will have them all, unless of course several bronies beat you to the punch and they sold them all already. If this is the case, we get a new shipment of toys about every 2 or 3 days. So even if (let's use Dash as an example) is all sold out from our Customer Satisfaction box, if Dash is the third toy in the rotation and it's only day 2, you could try again in 3 or 4 days and we will probably have a ton of Dash's.
And please, remember to be polite and patient. Our customer satisfaction box is in an incredibly inconvenient location, so in order for me to go get it I must have somebody else man the register and assemble orders while I'm gone looking for the specific pony.
I was sad I was never able to get Rainbow Dash last time around D: but this time I WILL get them all!
ReplyDeleteOh, and if you're still a little self conscious about buying "girls" toys and the looks people will give you might make you uncomfortable, see if you can "borrow" someones daughter (or accompany someone with a daughter) to McDonalds, then try and buy them. Not that I would judge anyways, but non bronies wouldn't be any wiser as to what's really going on. Or, the employee might be a brony, and if you go in by yourself I might give you a brohoof.
ReplyDelete@Senior Waffles Thanks, great inside info.
ReplyDeleteThey'd better have cutie marks on both sides of their flanks.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Celestia pink??? I know the question has been asked multiple times, but even in the BIG toy form at a store she is pink! Madness I say!
ReplyDelete*Waltzes into McDonald's wearing bowler hat and black double-breasted military-style coat like a boss*
ReplyDelete*Steps up to the counter and dramatically removes badflank shades*
Cashier: Hi, welcome to McDonald's! What can I g-
Me: Ponies. Now.
To everyone who's buying these, please get a friend to record you. Please act super manly of funny. This could make for a good collection of McDonalds pony purchasing videos!
ReplyDeleteYYYYYYYYEAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMarch 9th...thats my birthday. I think I might go cry tears of joy. Need to send my sister into mcdonalds.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely gonna try to get some this time around. Missed last time they were at mcdonalds, found out to late.
ReplyDeleteAnd still no news for the UK. I work at a McDonald's, so I know the next three months of Happy Meals and none of them are ponies. I'm a sad pony.
ReplyDeleteMost of McDonald's food so bucking meh, I have to be darn hungry too eat it. Still for some pony. And who needs a niece when your full of intestinal fortitude.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to the nearby gross truck stop McD's to dodge any local bronies.
ReplyDeleteYou can usually purchase just the toy without the Happy Meal. How much it costs will vary by restaurant. Anywhere from a dollar to $2.50.
ReplyDeleteIf the first one says you can't buy them alone... just go to the next one.
And to think, my little sister had to have the mane six for Christmas. They rang up about $45 on eBay.
Buut, it says they like to release new sets? So we'll see if we spent money unnecessarily.
not how do i get to this... Being 16 it may seem odd that i want the girl's happy meal :P Hmmm
ReplyDeleteHey! I might be able to sneakily get one when I go for my ACT! oh, wait, that's in February... DANG IT!
ReplyDeleteFunny How Fluttershy is more accurate in the fucking Mcdonalds toy than she is in the offical Hasbro toy.
ReplyDeleteCelestia's still goddamn pink
fucking ponyfags
