Welp, definitely gotta score the new non-recolor blind bags. Thanks, Hasbro. :applejargh:

So what does that make the other Princess Cadance blind-bag?

A changeling?

I'm so sorry. :fluttersmith:

I want Granny Smith because she's one of my favorite supporting characters, and a Gilda that Pinkie and Fluttershy can abuse and then see banished to the moon by Celestia. :gotcha:

I don't know about the Wonderbolts, because so far they've completely failed to save the day or even be useful once. Rainbow Dash always has to save their useless asses :rainbert:

edit2: of course I will probably end up buying the Wonderbolts anyway, but I will have Rainbow Dash glare so hard at them :-/

Where's Spitfire and Søren? :rainbert:

They can make a Gilda and a Granny Smith for the blind bags, but Fluttershy is still a Rainbow Dash palette swap.

:facehoof:

Priorities, people.

They better make a proper Fluttershy already. :rainbert:

I want the Gilda toy. She looks awesome.

Yay they're real! :yay:

I must have the Apple Family pack. I'm so glad I haven't bought blindbags yet (so I don't get twenty Twilight Sparkles). :awesomedash:

Well, I do have glitter Pinkie. :pinkieshrug:

What, you mean you don't remember [UNNAMED WONDERBOLT]? :gotcha:

Why, here she is swooping in to (fail to) save Ponyville from a rampaging Spike! :allears:

And here she is performing at the Gala! :awesomedash:

And... that's it. :-I

I don't think she appears in Sonic Rainboom or Sweet and Elite. Definitely on the Wonderbolts B-list.

(?) · by **stonecutter** (?) » Thu May 10, 2012 7:22 am

I think her first appearance was in 'The Ticket Master'.

stonecutter wrote:I think her first appearance was in 'The Ticket Master'.

Good catch. I forgot about Dash's fantasy from Ticket Master. It also makes more sense that the toy people would grab a Wonderbolt design from an early episode like that instead of from the season 1 finale or a season 2 episode. Does Spitfire even appear in Ticket Master? That other female Wonderbolt in the pic is just her lookalike (Spitfire has a two-tone mane).

(?) · by **Demon Donkey** (?) » Thu May 10, 2012 11:43 am

Hopefully we'll get updated Mane 6 minifigures but knowing Hasbro that's probably wishful thinking. :rainbert:

(?) · by **HuffyTheMagicDragon** (?) » Thu May 10, 2012 3:15 pm

I am totally going to repaint my [UNNNAMED WONDERBOLT] toy into Spitfire. :rainbert:

I really hope they make a CMC set in this scale. Imagine how tiny they would be...

Can't get over how legit rad that Gilda is. She even has that disaffected half-glare thing. :allears:

Yes, Gilda owns.

I find it kinda funny that there's a little pony toy with a walker coming out. Granny and Gilda are kinda surprising, since neither one allows for color swaps for multiple characters.

Surely you could color and eye swap with Gilda and get Gustav Le Grande?

This just makes me think that they will either make a bunch of old ponies, or sneak Granny Smith and Gilda into every playset from now on.

She's more bemused than glaring as if to say - Huh. Well, guess I'm a toy now.

This is out of the blue, still, a unique but minor early S1 character. Somebody internally - a fan of the show - must have pushed for it.

I suppose there's diminishing returns in producing another oddly colored pony like blossomforth.

AN entire new realm of possibilities will be opened up with these sets. What great friendship adventure we will have with, uh, Granny Smith and Gilda.

Look. Look at what you've done. You've made me want a Gustav toy and we'll likely never get one. This is THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING. :gonkity:

Gustav would own bones. :pcool:

Her color scheme's a little weird but there's something about it that I always thought was kind of adorable.

I wonder if this is the Pony equivalent of "the kinda ugly girl" in school? Like, sure, she's still pretty and fits in, but since her colour palate is just..."off", she'd probably get talked about behind her back.

She gets her saddles from the thrift store.

Or junkyard.

I should have made that clearer - I think they've made as many combinations of ponies with the molds they have with the colors they have.

and

:twonk:

FUCK IT JUST USE THE CLEAR PLASTIC
:v:

aaaaaaaa

AAAAAAAAA

only goes so far.

So for the people collecting them, anything past the main 6 is optional, right? Bringing in new molds for new characters that aren't templates for other characters (though I guess you can change the Wonderbolt character's hair color) is interesting.
They can only make one kind of Gilda, then.

Blossomforth's color scheme reminds me of watermelon, okay? And I love watermelon.

Thus it is a perfectly fine color scheme. :rainbert:

I remember that, but I don't remember it actually being confirmed, so it was probably a rumor.

(?) · by **Opposing Farce** (?) » Fri May 11, 2012 5:47 pm

I think I remember hearing about Griffon the Brush-Off not being aired in some countries, but I'm pretty sure that was just because they thought Gilda was too much of a jerk for children's television, not because of any possible subtext.

I never noticed before that the left eyelid overlaps the outline of her head. And I've been on at least one forum where someone had that for an avatar for at least a month.

Anyway, "Griffon the Brush-Off" was aired censored in Canada, where it airs on Treehouse TV, a channel for kids younger than this show is aimed at. No, they didn't censor "lame" (oddly enough); they censored "loser". (Same thing happened with "Party of One.") That's probably what y'all are thinking about.

(?) · by **Aramek** (?) » Fri May 11, 2012 6:45 pm

It also just plain didn't air in one of the Latin/South American countries. That was what Scuddy was referencing. I don't remember where, but I remember talking about it. :pinkieshrug:

Butch Griffon was just too scary, perhaps.
