Toy: MLP Blind Bags

That is NOT a bubble butt symbol wtf hasbro!  At least get derpy RIGHT!

But seriously, these seem kinda fun for a bunch of no name copy paste ponies.  I hope they aren't too expensive....

They are essentially bags you buy with a random pony inside.  Marketing genius right there! Check out the rest below the page break.

Apparently they are in...Germany right now.  Yeep...




You can find the non-figure pictures of the ponies in THIS THREAD on MLP Arena (hint page 4 and scroll down a bit)

How does one go about purchasing these pony bags

Neon Noble said...

Wow. That assortment of ponies is pretty cool, but I'd still like a proper Derpy.

...And a proper Rainbow Dash. Her mane's coloring doesn't look too great that way, since they screwed up the order of the colors (Red Orange Yellow Green Blue (no Indigo) Violet).


Where can these be bought?

Alex said...

I need these. Especially Firecracker Burst for some reason (after I get Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy). Oh boy, gambling time! :D

reminiscent of the old pokemon card packs.
"I hope i get [insert favourite pokemon]!"

Purple Tinker said...

Hasbro couldn't find their flank with all four hooves.

Us fans can, will, and HAVE done it better.

Twilight appears to have been cloned and turned into protoplasm in the third picture.
Okay, why not.

Adrian Brony said...

hey, they messed her up but still, hasbro actually seems to be really trying now! Wonder if Derpy's toy is wall eyed...

I need these. Now.

Sethisto said...

I'd hit the grape one.

Hit as in buy

Yah..

They didnt get derpys cutie mark right!! >:(

I... I'm confused.

So, Derpy, Rose, Daisy, Lemon Drop (or whatever's the fanon name of ahegao pony)and apparently a Minty lookalike?

Also crystal/slime unicorn, wtf?

Purple Tinker said...

Repainting a cutie mark is easier than repainting an entire figurine. What makes me go 'WTF' is the collection of colour-swapped Twilights/Pinkies/etc. Can't they at least give them different hair!?

Anonymous said...

More copypasta and half attempts by Hasbro. :(

Anonymous said...

Huh, they look like recolored figures of the main cast.

(Now if there was someone to buy the bases without any coloring...)

Anonymous said...

At least there's finally a mini Fluttershy. Do want.

Purple Tinker said...

That's not a mini Fluttershy. Look at the hair... that's a colour-swapped Dash. I think.

frith said...

Fine for a FIM crowd scene. LOL at the transparent Twilight Sparkle!

"Derpy" is not really Derpy, it's Lily Blossom, the pegasus that also has a mane G4 toy as well.
She just has one flower instead of three, and appears to have a lighter body this time.
But it's nice to see background ponies with an offical names and a nice variety of colors.
Fluttershy is disappointing, but at least the US isn't missing out when we can just repaint RD.

@Purple Tinker
There is a Fluttershy in the list on the site linked in the post.

FightingFire said...

Looks like I'm going to Germany!
Well, I wish. I love these kind of things, the thrill of opening a random pack and the joy of seeing the pony you wanted right there. It's wonderful.

A side note: when did ponies become translucent? What is that magic Twilight?

@FightingFire
It seems to be some special edition version. There are also special edition Rainbow Dashes and Pinkie Pies.

Geradex said...

Must acquire pony

Ooh~ how lovely. I sure do hope it comes out in America AND get into Target~

So wait, it's possible to get mane cast characters in the bags? That would make it even more interesting.

Zarkanorf said...

PROTOPLASM PONY, OH MY GOD.

I shall name her "Flubber".

Paul said...

If I were to get one of these and it was derpy and had the wrong cutie mark, i would paint over it with the bubbles.

Anonymous said...

Ooh, kinda like gashapon. Gashaponies!

StrawberrySpice said...

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
I will buy the Rainbow Dash one for a ridiculous price if I find it online.
I NEEEEEEEEEEEED IT

Anonymous said...

Oh here's something that crossed my mind. Besides the main cast Lily Blossom and Sweetberry Scoops (the pony on Rarity's Carosel from the toyfair) are the only ones in this series who have their own playful pony single figurines. I'd like a Dewdrop Dazzle or Blossomforth minifigurine. 8U

Cray0n said...

Sethisto has good taste. I would buy the shit out of that grape pegasus. She must become a new character!

Anonymous said...

Hey cool, I live in Germany!

Apparently they are about 1,80€ each.

Though I still have to find a local store, that sell them.
Also very unsure if want at all.

Vanderblast said...

Dat almost Derpy! Take my money Germany.

Poisoner said...

Clearly that is an Invisible Twilight Sparkle.

Although my first thought was that it's really strange to see mass-produced ponies in any pose other than the twenty-five year standard pose.

I would personally buy a ton to mod.

Muffin said...

Sounds fantastic!
Either you get a good pony or you get a pony to paint!
It's good all around!

Anonymous said...

FFFFF I live in America. Why can't you sell toys right here, Hasbro?

Anonymous said...

i'm german but have not seen them anywhere around yet
i'll try to find out more

Anonymous said...

They also got Derpy's eye color wrong

Anonymous said...

So it's clearly her evil twin

Anonymous said...

It looks like they're using only 5 molds but with random colors. If I had to guess, out of the six main six, I'd say the only character model they're not using is Fluttershy.

BlitzWing00 said...

I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice they got Derpy's eye color wrong on top of the cutie mark. (Yeah I know it's not supposed to be Derpy, but it does look like her).

The transparent ones remind me of the G3 Divine Shine ponies... you know, the ones that were translucent with glitter pieces in their body?

Anonymous said...

all recolors? but still the glittering ones are nice.

FlutterShy said...

I HATE HATE HATE how they didn't give Fluttershy her own pose and just made her in the RD pose instead >:(

(no offense to any RD fans)
