    Celestia is still pink -.- and that Luna is just a Fluttershy/Rainbow Dash with a unicorn head. The Cutie Mark is wrong. The Celestia toy appears to be new, her wings are transluscent and she got some useless dress on?

    Meh...

    Is there any special reason why they made Celestia's figure pink? We already have Pinkie Pie filling the pink quota.

    Lauren said that the stores told Hasbro that they were only interested in buying the toys if they were pink, as they believed it was easier to sell pink toys.

    Depending on who you ask, it's either due to focus groups, or because Hasbro does it intentionally to thwart counterfeiters.

    What do counterfeiters have to do with pink Celestia?

    I think its some bullock marketing thing. The whole girl section at Toys R Us is a huge pink gettho. Apparently little girls don't like various colours.

    Yeah, it doesn't make sense. It most likely is in fact, due to the stereotype that girls only like pink stuff.

    What's even more annoying is to see the great animation model on the box itself.

    By wandering around looking at the MLP toys you realise how... I dunno un-advanced... girls toys can be compared to the stuff boys enjoy. Its kinda lopsided. There's probably some other marketing trueism about it, probably something to do with girls growing out of toys faster *shrugs*.

    I had the same epiphany after getting involved with this show and looking at the toys. They need to be way more than 20% better.

    It's no wonder that girls don`t treasure their toys and just get rid of the easily. They're BRICKS WITH HAIR. You can't do crap with them. Well I support equal opportunity toys! I want to live in a world where girls' toys don`t have to suck just because they're girls toys, just as Lauren Faust herself said that just because a show was for girls didn`t mean it had to suck, and look what we got there!

    It's odd. out of all the toys, Celestia is by far the most on model, yet they make her the wrong color. and now with Luna she's given a generic model just like all the others, despite in the show where she has a clearly different body type than any other pony.
    I am the squid of the vapor surrounding your dreams, sorrow, nightmares, and bootie pants. So watch out about that.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: the toys are still stuck in the 80s!

    Well its just a Target exclusive so a recolor is no surprise, it wouldn't be that bad if she was at least in the right colors and with the right cutie mark!

    No kidding. My sister had a Pony figure from the 80s series and it looks EXACTLY like these new ones.

    I know, I had a G1 pony...somewhere and beside the sculpt changing its the exact same toy: a pony with a cutie mark, neck articulation, and a mane and tail you can brush. Nothing else. Same friggin' toy!

    You don't see any of those lame dia-clones unless they're special reissues from Japan. Transformers toys are actually a hundred times better nowadays and they make crazy effort to stay on model (the TFA toys were wonderful for that).

    I guess little girls eat up anything that's pink. I'm personally going to give her a paintjob once I get her.

    I'm surprised none have turn up on Deviant Art. You can find plenty of Derpy Custom but no one seems to have posted a repainted Celestia.

    Edit: Never mind, found some under 're-paint' silly me.

    Hasbro really needs to start making the toys actually look like the characters from the show. It's pretty sad that the fans have been making more show accurate merchandise than the people who actually own the franchise.

    Well, if it means anything, someone asked the Hasbro reps at BotCon about the prospect of more show accurate ponies. They replied that they'll notify the MLP branch about it. I guess that would do something, squeaky wheel gets the grease and all that. But that's something that should worth pointing out is that MLP never had the big fan following that it has now. It used to have a small base of collectors, as opposed to Transformers which has a huge fan following which in turn becomes a second demographic that Hasbro targets. They do toys directed at them, have fans act as consultants on the shows from time to time, and host conventions. My Little Pony never had that luxury, hopefully FiM will be the Beast Wars of the franchise, starting an upswing in terms of quality with writing that shows effort rather than a blatant phone-in. Again, hopefully.

    Still, Hasbro isn't that blind, when there's money to be made, they'll exploit it. Maybe toys based off of Luna, a popular character among the fanbase is a sign. I'll taken as a sign until proven otherwise.
