Blind Bags On The Way To The USA!

A thread over on MLP Arena has revealed that the blind bag ponies are finally heading to the US!

For those that haven't been following them, they are essentially card packs with a random pony inside, and the only way to get the two inch Fluttershy.  The people over on /toy/ cracked the code a while back, which you can find here.

They are ~$2.00 everywhere else, so probably the same out here!

The exact quote of the email:
Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate your taking the time to share your feedback and concerns with us regarding the My Little Pony Friendship is Magic product line.

I understand and appreciate your frustrations ----. In an effort to help you locate specific My Little Pony products, can you advise which products you are looking for? If you can give me an idea, I would be most pleased to follow up with our brand team to see if release dates are available. Also, My Little Pony Blind Bags will be released very soon to the U.S. market.

I look forward to your response.

Thanks!"
No telling what the real date will be. 

Right, so...  When can we get that Luna toy? 

Thanks to Sheldon for the heads up!

EpsillonXD said...

Those...those actually look pretty cool. I might have to get some once they're released.

Max said...

Aww, that yellow one had me so excited that maybe it was Spitfire. Well, my dreams have been crushed. I think I might be compelled to buy a Rainbow Dash toy though. I just hope I can pull it off with a straight face.

Star Gazer said...

Heh, I may have to shoot for one of those Fluttershy ones (#6). Even for small figures though I'm a little cramped for space IRL.

I agree though, needs more Luna toys.

If I get them I'll take a second to make sure they don't swap the numbers around or just outright remove them so people cannot pick the one they want though.

madmax said...

I will never have a pony toy... :(

McGack said...

isnt the show reaching the Uk by summer sometime? ;_; *sniff*

Yes. Yes!

I'm totally buying these in bulk, and then repainting all the dupes.

Yay for Blind Bags, but I want to know when I can get my hands on a Rainbow Flash, Daisy Dreams and Star Swirl without selling a kidney.

Those still don't look like perfect G4 ponies. GET IT RIGHT HASBRO

All my money, take it! I need ponies!

Thattagen said...

I like how the blind bags were sort of an afterthought in the email. "Oh, by the way..."

Kitteran said...

Now I can get my Roseluck and Flower Wishes!

...I really hope they release these to a store I have access to.

ToonNinja said...

Y'know what? I'm all for it. If giving Hasbro money now means they'll give us more stuff later, I'll give them my money. Mark my words, though, we'd BETTER get some f**king adorable plushies out of this.

Zephire said...

And by USA you mean its northern neighbour too, right Hasbro? Right? *hint hint*

HolySparks said...

I guess Brazil is soon guetting those too, right? RIGHT?!

Who am I kidding, we don't even have mlp fim on the tv or anywhere but this lame dubbed ticket master dvd...

Purplefoxtail said...

I want plushies :) Not much of a toy guy myself.



Fat chance on the octavia plushie though right D:

Star Gazer said...

@Purplefoxtail

There's a lot of people making fan toys. I wouldn't be surprised if Fan Plushies showed up eventually.

I'd probably take one of those over a toy too, to be honest.

I just GASPED out loud, in a crowded university coffee shop.

I never thought I would be so excited about plastic ponies :D
I can't wait to decorate my entire bookshelf with tiny little pony friends!

I hope they release these in New Zealand.

The U.S. are so close, hope that will also make it easier for us Canadien to get them.

Whoa... that's good news.

Yay!

TheWiseWolf said...

Confound these ponies they drive me to buy merchandise.

Anonymous said...

I'm glad for my fellow American bronies, but I can't say the same for myself. Last week, I paid about $25 for a Fluttershy from Europe...dammit.

Anonymous said...

Ohhhhh, I want RD! :D

Anonymous said...

I already have RD, Rarity, PP, and TS. An Applejack is on it's way that I won on Ebay, and im currently bidding on a Fluttershy. MFW blind bags in the us AFTER I spend all this money.

Anonymous said...

Woo HOO!

First extended Equestria Girls, now this. Things are going well.

Scallywag said...

You know, I liked my money. But I'm going to like all these ponies better.

Anonymous said...

The rainbow dash still has the wrong cutie mark.

I'll be buying one regardless though, new zealand getting ponies yay.

crazyredemu said...

Dash could be repainted into a Scootaloo and she would look closer then that Fluttershy repaint plus she is a blank flank so you don't have to worry about painting a tiny cutie mark

WhatPayne said...

Good for you US-Bronies! But I keep crying bloody tears for our UK Bronies in arms, why is it that they have no ponies what-so-ever? I know I have had my own troubles finding stuff where I live, but how worse things can be if they have nothing to go with?

Hasbro, take a note here.

Anonymous said...

I wish they'd give the UK something... anything...

All I ask is for affordable six mane ponies, the Crusaders and the Great and Powerful Trixie. And I'll give money in return. Is that too much to ask for? Is it?

lettie said...

@pyritie Nopony even THINKS of the UK unless they live there. Like me. I am going insane because of it. Even if it was just one toy. Oh, well, ranging from 1 - 10 years later we might get one if we're lucky.

Twilea said...

To all the Swedish fans I can announce that the blind bags will be released in the autumn. At least that's the info I've gotten.

pyritie said...

@Star Gazer
There's already about 3 people making and selling plushies I think, and in about a week and a half I'll start doing that too

:DDDDD

Sir Leadhead said...

Goddammit. And I had just finished my hideously expensive order from treehugger (he's no longer selling, btw) over at ponychan to ship some blindbags from germany over to me. In the US.

Ah, well, at least now I can fill up the gaps in my collection at my local target ;)

Klondike said...

@Sir Leadhead
>imported pkmn black 2 months early and still hasn't beaten 2nd gym

don't be sad
I know that feel bro...

Doc Steedly said...

meh . . . i already got the mane cast off ebay, the whole set fer 20 bits shipped n.n They have been sitting on my glasspad fer like two weeks now. I also ended up with a larger Dewdrop dazzle . . . . lol

Peabnuts123 said...

"Hey wow, blind bags to US, that's good! Too bad they will never come to New Zealand ;_; "

>and New Zealand

HOLY SHIT WHAT!?!

Bit said...

yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesYES! I can finish my little collection I have on my desktop!

Anonymous said...

Luna toys is what I'm thinking of, Scratch plushies is what I'm counting on.

Anonymous said...

a two inch "Fluttershy"

who, unlike the rest of the mane 6, doesn't have her own mold, but is rather a Rainbow Dash recolor.

and that makes me a sad Brony

Spork The Cat said...

That's great news! Can't wait till they arrive.

Anonymous said...

where can we buy these toys?

NetherPony said...

Totally sold. These are precisely what I was hoping for. Little figurines to nerd out my shelves with :D!

Now that'll be a sight, a 24 year old dude looking over the codes on a bunch of MLP grab-bags to ensure he gets the right ones.

Aggrostar said...

Lily Blossom will be mine! Then, I will repaint her cutie mark into seven bubbles, as I imagine several other Bronies will.

Hi Myriam,

Thank you for contacting Hasbro regarding My Little Pony Blind Bags. We appreciate your interest!

I am happy to say that Hasbro Canada will also sell My Little Pony Blind Bags. Although an exact date is not available, I strongly encourage you to continue checking www.mylittlepony.com for the most current product information.

Again, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. I hope you have a fun day!

Vilci said...

But... Fluttershy's beautiful mane! How could they?

I guess I'll just be getting Twilight. Looks awesome.

Anonymous said...

They are coming out with a Luna and Celestia toy. You can confirm it by checking out some Japanese sites. They are doing a lot of sets with Luna and Celestia and I think some separately. Probably in 2012, or 2013 with the way things are coming.
