More background ponies?

We have a whole mess of FiM merch out there, but aside from the new Lyra, Carrot Top, and Big Mac blindbags, nothing has really been specifically for our little unexpected demographic.

*Show accuracy. Transformers Prime toys look excellent from the previews we have seen of them, and they have to account for the complicated transformations!
ReplyDelete*Video game(s) would be cool, with a none-crappy PC port preferably. Or better yet, make it PC first and just port to the consoles!
*DVD set.
Google "Sanrio". You see all the wide variety of Hello Kitty merchandise? This is what I want in pony form.
ReplyDeleteI think we should have lots and lots and lots of plushies!!!!! LUNA!!!!! soo much luna!
ReplyDeleteFull Bodied Officially Licensed Fursuits. Specifically of Applejack and Rarity.
ReplyDeleteJk, but I'd be willing to by a soundtrack CD, and that's quite a feat to get ME to buy music. Also, a Rarity plushie/beanie baby would be nothing short of amazing.
Fashion Style Brushable Trixie (which means including hat and cape)
ReplyDeleteTrixie molded toy
Show Accurate Trixie Plushie
I want toys that actually resemble the show, not cheap G3 recolors, and recolors of recolors....
ReplyDeleteAnd no opposite-canon shit like RAINBOW DASH ALWAYS DRESSES IN STYLE or "Baby Spike"...
@Lupus Albus
ReplyDeleteThank you.
@Mike
Let’s hope so.
A show accurate, pillow sized, flower scented Fluttershy plushie to hug the shit out of, and while were asking season 1 bluray box set
ReplyDeleteVillains, and show accurate merchandise.
ReplyDelete1. Show accurate plushies of mane six, in a good huggable size.
ReplyDelete2. Detailed show accurate fiqurines.
3. Not a toy, but a box set of season 1 (and 2 when ready) in DVD or Blu-ray.
I want to see show accurate stuff, like figures, and plushies. Mostly plushies. Oh and they need to fix Celestia. xD
ReplyDeleteI will take one of these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/120792470190?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
ReplyDeleteI want a Twilight plushie :D
ReplyDeleteplushies -- beanbag style! "I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME!" Fluttershy, Lesson Zero wild-eyes Twilight, Pinkamena frowning, cyclops pinkamena, gray Discorded Mane Six. Harmony battle armor Mane Six, Battle armor Celestia and Luna, Discord in suit, carrying laptop.
ReplyDeleteGive me more Luna
ReplyDeletePosters, Plushies, T-Shirts and Hats. Then Blu Ray episode packs. That'll do nicely
ReplyDeletePlushies, full Season 1 DVD box set, White Celestia, Princess Luna, Discord, Trixie, more show accurate pony figurines, video games, school supplies, Season 1 official soundtrack, full size pony pillows, and like somepony else said above rub-on tattoos would also be nice, ohh and posters!
ReplyDeleteBesides plushies (they must be cute!) I'd really like some girly apparel for teens/young women :)
ReplyDeleteNecklaces, hair clips, accessories..and more girl shirts that're more than just t-shirts XD
I know that'll never happen though lol
A show-accurate Rainbow Dash desktop model/figurine/maquette.
ReplyDeleteSHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
Plushy Discord!
ReplyDeleteBlu-Ray Box Set, avaliable online.
ReplyDeleteAlso maybe some small, flat, metallic keychain thingos? That would be rad.
More show-accurate ponies. The ones with the fake combable hair are just not interesting to me. Also, I would spend my self into crippling debt if they had Derpy merch (besides the closet of shirts I already have).
ReplyDeleteShow accurate ponies; plushies, figurines, whatever; just show accurate. And a dvd/blue ray set of S1 and S2 when it finishes.
ReplyDeleteDerpy Hooves figurine, please! And stickers, I was trying to find a sticker to put on the window of my car.
ReplyDeleteI would like some show accurate models put in cutesy poses.
ReplyDeleteAlso, a Derpy the Mailmare plush, complete with a mailbag and letters from the Equestrian Mail Service.
Of course, I want more than this, but these are the top wanted.
Right up there with static wall stencils
-Accurate plushies
ReplyDelete-Background pony toys
-Villains
-Full Season DVD's
-Pony accessories like posters or license plates
-Games
-For Hasbro to stop being stupid and to acknowledge us.
plushies, very good ones. and some accurate figurines
ReplyDeleteOh, and a boxed Blu-Ray set with all of S1. Then a boxed Blu-Ray set of all of S2.
ReplyDeleteThe standard figures, but more show accurate looking. Plus with more variety, i.e. some background pony figures. Even if they have to fudge the names a bit on all of them, as long as they don't actually have to say the names in the show, it doesn't really matter.
ReplyDeleteI think they could be making significantly more profits with their merchandise. Although I guess I don't really know how much they already making... Anyways, my logic is as follows;
1) More show-accuracy means that significantly more bronies might be more willing to actually buy the toys, and the "standard customers" will just get slightly better looking toys, which may influence them to get more.
2)Background pony toys just mean that there's a larger variety. Collectors have more to buy, Bronies would eat them up, (I'll admit that I'd buy a derpy with derped eyes in a heartbeat, and I know Vinyl Scratch and several others would sell well.) and going back to the "standard buyers," they just have more toys to buy. Chances are they probably buy the toys based more on looks, and less on the show, so having a larger variety means a higher chance of them finding toys they like the looks of, perhaps several. Also, villains would probably be a nice touch too. At the very least NmM and Discord would make a nice addition to many desks around the world.
I think we're large enough at this point that we can't be ignored. This might be a good way to make some more profit off of us, without having to alienate the target demographic, which is undoubtedly still much much larger than us.
I also believe they should try hosting the episodes online themselves outside of their site, which frankly virtually nobody uses anyways due to the availability online. I thinking they should just get an official YouTube channel and actually post the episodes themselves. Being an actual company probably means that they can very easily set up one of those premium accounts and just put ads where they would normally go in the episodes and still actually turn a profit. I know that some random YouTubers make a living off their shows, and some other companies have done this too, so there must be at least some backing for this idea. I'm pretty sure that if they did that, most if not all of the people with episodes currently up would be willing to take them down. A lot of fans don't have access to the hub, so this might be a way to get at least some profit off of those people, providing that they get the episode up by the end of the day that the actual episode airs.
So to sum up basically everything I said:
MAKE CELESTIA WHITE GODAMMIT.
DVDs! White Celestia! Brushable Trixie, "Heartstrings" and other side ponies! Gilda! Scootaloo and Applebloom and Sweetie Belle sold separately so you don't have to buy a whole playset to get them and inevitably get duplicate Sweetie Belles! Filly main characters (it worked for G1)! Stallions!
ReplyDeleteHoodies, Beanies, and Jackets... and maybe a scarf? PLZPLZPLZ!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso more Luna. I forgot Luna somehow.
ReplyDeleteHow about some brony messenger bags? One would certainly come in handy :)
ReplyDeleteHow about Mane Six official hoodies with adult sizes?
ReplyDeleteAccurate Plushies.
ReplyDeleteAccurate molded-hair toys.
Queen-size sheet sets, pillowcases, and comforters.
Posters.
Adult-size clothing.
Towels.
Notebooks, artbooks, notepads, artpads, stationary, ast supplies.
"Room accents" - wall cling stuff, in different themes: MLP:FiM general, and by specific character.
Cups, glasses, dishes, flatware.
General household and office items: garbage cans, lamps, lightswitch plates, pencil holders, etc.
STICKERS.
DVD set.
More accurate plushies.
Full-size accurate plushies.
A G4 version of the FurReal Friends Butterscotch Pony - Twilight or Luna, preferably.
Accurate miniature toys (like the blindbag toys) of the Mane 6, Celestia, Luna, and popular BG characters - sold BOTH as sets and individually.
More accurate plushies.
Anything you can put a pony on.
There is no such thing as too much pony. Ever.
I agree with all 100 people above who mentioned the word "plushie" at least once in their comment.
ReplyDeleteJust adding to the choir but:
ReplyDeleteQuality plushies
-Show accurate- (1000x this) toys/memorabilia
Full season(s) on DVD/Bluray
Also, I can't be the only one totally creeped out by many of the toys they've made so far. It's almost as if they don't actually know how to market for a massively popular show and are instead shoveling out anything and everything they can think of up to and including ideas from past generations.
I mean come on, if you wanted a vehicle make one of the many carts from the show. Still don't get how they made some of this crap but not Celestia / Luna chariot(s).
*art* supplies.
ReplyDeleteMessenger bags are good too, I second that.
Show accurate plushies and Discord anything. Also official soundtracks/DVDs.
ReplyDeletewe need plushies!!!!
ReplyDeleteLike so many others, I want proper plushies. Especially ones of certain/well-known background ponies like Octavia, Vinyl Scratch, Derpy and Spitfire.
ReplyDeleteDISCORD! NIGHTMARE MOON!!! DERPY HOOVES!!!!! either as plushies, small rubber figurines or both please! and think they can be a bit more show accurate than the PINK Celestia?
ReplyDeleteInafter Excessively high-end plushies and such only upper scale toy stores sell I'm sure. lol
ReplyDeleteI've stated Hasbro isn't a luxury toy company so many times I'm not even gonna bother anymore. lol I always say that and then I always do. Like I'm about to now I'm sure. :/ But yeah, the toys made by Hasbro are only going to get so good for quality probably. And keep in mind, like I've also said, it costs A LOT of money to put out new toys. And if they don't think their main audience, the kids, are going to want to buy them, they aren't going to make them. Etc, etc, all that fun stuff.
As for what I'd like to see. Sure, I'd love to see more "Show accurate" toys and plushies. Really nicely made ones, of course. But I also know that's not Hasbro's market or what they as a toy company produce typically. And it's unlikely they're going to buy new equipment or out source to other places to make it happen.
But we'll see. Like I said, if the kids aren't going to buy them, they aren't likely to be made. There have been some small exceptions in the past for things Hasbro has made I believe, but it seems rare. I like some of the stuff out now and I'm content for the most part. I'm not going to be overly greedy or picky. Some other nice stuff would be good, but I know how hard it is and how costly it is. I'm not going to hate them if they don't cater to my every desire, com'on. They're a toy company and they're prime goal is to make money. And if they think they may not recoup losses enough to turn a good profit, then they're not going to take the risk. And I can't say I blame them, I wouldn't either.
So in summary, yes, some "nicer" toys would be welcomed by me. Molded pony figures that look close to the show models. More accurate plushies, etc. But I'm not going to be bitter or angry if they don't come about either.
Like it hasn't been said before
ReplyDeleteShow accurate plushies pwease! Want to cuddle me a pony
-Shirts larger than 3XL
ReplyDelete-Season 1 DVD with audio commentary

-Men's boxer shorts
-Baseball caps and fedoras.
-Winter Wrap Up, CMC theme song and Art of the Dress as DLC for Rock Band 3.

Full season Blu-ray/DVD box sets and show accurate Plushies i wanna hug my favorite ponies without forking over a ridiculous amount of cash for something fan-made
ReplyDeleteZecora!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!please.
ReplyDelete1) more g4 plushies (and fix rainbow dash, come on)
ReplyDelete2) season 1 blu ray set
3) larger blankets
4) pin the tail on the pony set
5) some kind of g4 board or card game
@MaximillianVeers Seconded. Plus a DvD of the first and second season (and third if we get it).
ReplyDeletei want celestia to be white
ReplyDelete1. Table top Pony Role playing game.
ReplyDelete2. My little Pony: FiM Comic
3, Awesome trading card game that's good ;)
4 Figurine molds of all ponies from the show + villain + speical like the Discordfied Main 6, Gala outfites and NightMare Night costumes and others.
5. X-ponies toys! (X-men as ponies)
I think I saw it fly by while reading some of the comments.
ReplyDelete-MLP:FIM dress ties (or subtle dress shirts) would be... so awsome!
So much great merchandise potential.
Vinyl Scratch bobblehead.
ReplyDelete(this vision may induce heartattack)
ReplyDeletePicture this... Filly...Luna...PLUSHIE
*HHHNNGG*
I want a little blindbag Discord that I can carry around with me everywhere I go, but sadly I have accepted the fact that Hasbro will never make any type of Discord figure. >_>
ReplyDeleteGilda
ReplyDeleteVillain action figures! Would buy a Nightmare Moon toy in a heartbeat. And then I would make her team up with my Beelzemon action figure to fight Raiho Kuzunoha and Vaan fon Ronsenberg of Dalmasca!
ReplyDeleteWant...Vinyl...PLUSHIE...NOW!
ReplyDeleteplushies or official shirts.
ReplyDeleteI love a lot of the fan made shirts, but those profits don't help MLP along. So I would buy an official shirt.
Posterboard reproductions of classy oil paintings (not kidding).
ReplyDeleteI read around the comments and I agree with almost everypony on what we all want around:
ReplyDelete-show accurate ponies (including Celestia, Luna, secondary and background ponies, and give Fluttershy HER OWN BUCKIN' MOLD)
-plushies (the "show accurate" part is axiomatic)
-more plastic less brushable hair (NO recolors)
-QUALITY (Hasbro should demand the same amount of effort from the MLP team than they demand from the TF team)
-posters (because there's a lack of pony on my wall)
-comics
-antagonists!!! (Nightmare Moon and Discord need more love, also Trixie and Gilda, if they fit on this category)
... and finally...
-DVD/BluRay with extras (maybe by the time they release 2nd season DVDs, they might put the removed scenes, like the Rarity one on Luna Eclipsed)
I think that sums it up
Octavia and Luna, along with 4ft plushies. If they did them with the G3s they can do them with the G4s.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the G3 plushies actually looked like the ponies they were meant to resemble. The G4 ones give me Vietnam-esque flashbacks to the G3.5s, so if they're going to make four-footers then they'd better fix up the plushie design first.
A Lanyard of the "Nyan" Rainbow Dash.
ReplyDeleteTrixxxxxxxxxxxxie
ReplyDeleteAll I want is a life sized Rainbow Dash plushie.
ReplyDelete1.) Plushies
ReplyDelete2.) A WHITE Princess Celestia toy
3.) Discord figurine (I want a plushie but we all know that won't happen)
4.) A video game with plenty of cartoon violence!
5.) Hats and shoes
6.) Customizable ponies (ones you could paint, with pre-molded hair)
7.) DVDs
LIFE SIZE PONY PLUSHIES FOR EVERYPONY!!!!! <evilspike>muhahahahah!</evilspike>
ReplyDeleteMane six, CMC, Discord, Trixie, and Nightmare moon Plushies. Also Diamond dog shew toy.
ReplyDeleteI also would like to see Nightmare Moon and Discord toys.
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the mane 6's pets as they are in the show. Because any pony collection isn't complete without Gummy... xD
Someone mentioned above that they wanted stickers. I want stickers, too. The only ones I've seen are G3 ponies, and that makes me sad. D:
Discord
ReplyDeletePLUSHIES
Derpy Stamps
Show accurate toys
Octavia
And no stupid names
High quality, show accurate sculptures of the Mane 6, Spike, Celestia, Luna, Trixie, and Discord.
ReplyDeleteSeason 1 Bluray box set.
ReplyDeletePony Transformers...they did it with Star Wars, why not ponies?
Show accurate figures that are pose-able...I want articulation.
White Celestia.
Maybe a build your own pony kit?
Non-pony figures.
Accurate plushies.
Anything show-accurate i'd buy!
ReplyDeleteA current generation version of this: http://www.amazon.com/My-Little-Pony-Decorate-Figure/dp/B001E3P5F2
ReplyDeleteI'd like pony jackets. Not those silly jackets with the ears, the manes and the wings those just scream weird. I'd prefer subtle references to ponies.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Wonderbolts/Shadowbolts. Maybe with the flight suits as plastic snap on things, so they can be removed.
ReplyDeleteAnd basic toys of the male characters, like Big Macintosh, Braeburn, Celestia's guards, etc. The blindbag ones are nice, but having them in the other toys too would be even nicer. And maybe a two-legged Spike? He walks upright in the show but the only toy of him is on all fours. XD
Many fans create their own characters.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a set of three *unpainted* ponies (earth, unicorn, pegasus), with a paint set and one or two paint brushes, so younger fans can create their own ponies.
I want... Octavia. Playing a little bass.
ReplyDeleteYou know those fuzzy dice you hang from your rearview mirror? Yeah that...but plush ponies.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe have Rainbow Dash/Fluttershy be that, and then have AJ, Twilight, Pinkie and Rarity be dash-mounted bobbleheads.
Either way, I want to show off my pony love in a manner that is easy to recognize...and easy to remove if I have passengers who aren't up on the Ponies.
Rainbow Dash Cutie Mark belt buckle and cuff links
ReplyDeletePlushies, especially a Gilda plushie.
ReplyDeleteVinyl Scratch glasses. I want those sooo bad!
ReplyDeleteI want a S1 DVD with director and/or writer commentary, a white Celestia, unique molded models for Fluttershy and Applejack, and some more molded background ponies.
ReplyDeletean accurate Vinyl Scratch all plastic figure.
ReplyDeleteMore Fluttershy spushies :D
ReplyDeleteAnything I could wear/display and still keep my dignity intact. The Pinkie Pie Christmas ornament and the keychains were good choices. 95% of the MLP merchandise as too garish for an adult.
ReplyDeleteDiscord.
ReplyDeleteShow-accurate figurines and plushies. Especially plushies. I would cuddle the CRAP out of adorable pony plushies that actually looked like the characters. <3
ReplyDeleteA Fluttershy plush that when you hug it it goes SQUEE. I think i would explode in DAWWW everytime i hug it.
ReplyDeleteI really want some high quality plushies that are of the same quality as the fan made ones. The baby Pinkie and Spike are just creepy.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see toy figures of villians. I don't know what Hasbro has against making toys of MLP villains. They did the same thing in G1.
I would like to see figures made of Zecora, Philomena, the Buffalo, Gilda and other non pony characters and creatures.
I would like to see a bi-pedal Spike.
Play sets made of the other prominent locations of Ponyville. The Library, Sugar Cube Corner, Fluttershy's Cottage, etc.
While we're at it a Sweat Apple Acres play set that is an actual barn, and make Rarity's Carousel Boutique the dress-up play set. Someone seriously dropped the ball on those two.
Posters
Comic books and/or Picture books that are similar to the feel and tome of the show.
Show accurate Gala Dresses.
BlueRay Box Set
That's all I can think of right now. but more then anything else I want Plushies.
I want a Fluttershy plushie. Also, toys with plastic hair instead of that horrible doll hair, and show accurate figures.
ReplyDeleteShow accuracy... that is all.
ReplyDeleteActual plushies (wouldn't buy one, 16 closet-brony and all) and possibly video games!!! Dare I say 20% cooler?
ReplyDeleteofficial xbla or psn pony game
ReplyDeleteor
easter eggs on the show like a window in shape of derpy or pinkie pie breaking the fourth wall evry1ce in a while , etc.
ponies go with evrything
ReplyDeletenuff said.
for the love of celestia, plz make an accurate model of Twilight i'd buy like 5.... >..>
ReplyDeleteI just want blind bag ponies over here in the US...
ReplyDeleteAPPLE GRENADES!!!
ReplyDeleteHOW ABOUT A MLP STORY EDITOR THAT ANIMATES PONIES AND IS OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED BY HASBRO?
ReplyDeleteFull season 1 DVD box set with lots of behind the scenes features! Comon Hasbro, I want to give you
ReplyDeleteMy money for this :P
A 1/8 scale Rarity figure by Good Smile
ReplyDeleteAll of my money
Discord
ReplyDeleteSome more background characters (Like DJ-Pon3 or Derpy)
Discord
Elements of Harmony toys of some fashion
Discord
You can never have enough Rainbow Dash!
Oh, did I mention Discord? That's kind of important.
Show accurate hard (or semi soft) plastic ponies. And alond the same vein, blank ponies. I can paint models, I'd love to be able to do custom pony paintjob. More variety at the brushable price-point. Five bucks is an easy to sell impulse buy.
ReplyDeleteNew plush Twilight for sure!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, first of all, I'd like to see them COLORED PROPERLY! That means white Celestia, blue/dark blue Luna, lavender/purple Twilight, etc.
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to see the same styled eyes on their respective ponies (you know what I mean). And proper haircolor.
I WOULD like to see certain background ponies, but if fans are going to complain about not using the fandom names, I'm not sure I'd like that...
PLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIES
ReplyDeleteSame as everypony else: ACCURATE FIGURINES, as well as plushies, a proper DVD of each series (or a box set) and possibly comic books.
ReplyDeleteLot of brilliant ideas here. I agree with Danny that some higher end models like those available for anime characters (see jlist.com)should be available for at least the mane 6, CMC and Princesses. Box set of all episodes. Vid games. Anything that's at least 20% cooler than the things they're making now.
ReplyDeleteI currently do not own any MLP merchandise, but I would most certainly buy a Discord figure.
ReplyDeleteplushies.
ReplyDeletethat is all.
Collectable figurines on par with anime ones in terms of quality.
ReplyDeleteCustom pony kits (make your own OC) without having to destroy an official pony.
DVD Box Set of Season 1
Season 1 Soundtrack
A comic series through Dark Horse
Rainbow Dash and Luna plushies. With better manes/tails than those Twilight ones.
ReplyDeleteI want PLUSHIES! Plushies of the mane 6, the supporting characters (CMCs, Big Mac, etc) & some of the background ponies (especially Derpy, Lyra, Bon Bon). Show-accurate, please. =)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'd like that same list of ponies in those little $5 brushables.
@MaximillianVeers
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Also,
PLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIESPLUSHIES
I think that about covers it.
Also, plushies.
DERPY PLUSHIE (with the derp eyes) :D
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to see:
ReplyDeleteArticulated Figures.
Better hair on the blindbag Ponies.
Fluttershy Blindbag that isn't Rainbow Dash.
More Big Mac
What we probably will see:
More rooted hair Ponies reusing the same molding as the Mane 6
Terribly made Plushies
Pointless roleplaying toys. (Something like "Celestia Magic Wand!")
$20 DVD's with just two episodes and a lame pack-in Figure.
QUALITY plushies. I'd die of joy if they mass produce this (or the non-gala version): http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CXjxoQ4u4eg/TpVacnmbB5I/AAAAAAAAN1U/nMNxU_lCIIo/s1600/Capture.JPG
ReplyDeleteOF course, thank you, creators and producers of the show, for reading the things we bronies talk about. There are a few things that I look for, and dream of, so in no particular order, let me basically add my voice to the following requests I'm sure have been made:
ReplyDelete- Molded-hair toys the size of the brushables. The term "show-accurate" is being thrown around a lot, and I agree with it.
- Derpy and individual Cutie Mark Crusader toys.
- More options in clothing. I especially liked neckties, Cutie Mark Polos would rock - something I think any brony would like is something subtle and business-casual. There are so many adult men in the audience, we know you like this fact, throw us something we can wear to our jobs.
- Posters. I check poster sections of stores every chance I get hoping to see something new.
- Plushies. Without the tangled mess of a mane that can never look like the show. In sizes a grown man can hug well.
- School supplies (which also counts as office supplies), including larger backpacks and lunch boxes. Especially folders and notebooks.
- Season DVD box sets, or at least better planning in DVD sets (no more two-episodes-about-the-gala-and-no-gala-episode sets).
And, as long as I have your attention:
- A Magic: the Gathering set. Even if you don't label it as such, just release a Trading Card game that winds up being compatible. I mean, you all own Wizards of the Coast. D&D stuff would be nice too, but I'd love to see Magic cards. Even just one promo.
And of course, I also throw in that I have limited my purchases of merchandise because it is made in China. Lots of people over here need jobs, the community would appreciate it, and as the parent of a member of your original target audience, I assure you I am even more strict on this with my children's toys.
show-accurate stuff... and a talking discord toy.
ReplyDeleteS> soul for talking discord toy with all of his famous lines.
A video game.
ReplyDeleteBecause that's ALL i give a care about when it comes to stuff like this.
And by stuff like this I mean merchandise.
I want show-accurate Lyra, Bon-Bon, Derpy and Dinky figures, like the grab-bags. And filly versions.
ReplyDeleteGood plushies would be cool. I love plushies.
ReplyDeleteMore realistically, I guess I'd like to see brushable figures of some background pony models. Whether they use our names or not, I'd love to have a Lyra and Carrot Top on my desk.
Also Bon-Bon.
OMG, how could I forget! Plushies, of course! I WANT A FLUTTERSHY PLUSHIE!!!!
ReplyDeleteShow accurately modeled plushies
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd so love a Discord plushie! It'd go so good with my overalls (Swedish student thingy)!
ReplyDeleteOther than that, more accuracy! Stop the molding and make them actually look like the characters they're supposed to look like!
All in all, to have them stop treating their customers like they're foals (even though the intended market actually is). They've succeeded in the show, now they just have to take this last step into merchandise, and they're ready to go on for ages!
@MichaelJAW
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for someone to mention that one. That is definitely not a mass-produced plushie. It's certainly hand-crafted and crafted quite well. You're not going to get something that nice and intricate from most any mass-produced toy line. One reason these go for so much is because they're so expertly hand-crafted.
I'd like the see a normal sized Big Macintosh toy, as well as any of the other guy ponies. If they made a Big Mac one, this Brony would happily buy one with a grin on his face.
ReplyDeleteDerpy Hooves.
ReplyDeleteEnough said.
I would like to see accurate representations of the show. Of course have the 6 main ponies as Plushies/Stuffed Ponies
ReplyDeleteNEW SUGGESTION:
My Little Pony KRE-O building sets (Hasbro has Transformer KRE-O building sets! Have MLP KRE-O sets as well!)
Plushies and a music soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a few more playsets because they're fun to review. And more hitchable vehicles so I can have a train as long as my hallway off the RC car.
ReplyDeletePlushies!!! Plushieplushieplushies! Plushieplushieplushies! Plushieplushieplushies! Yeah!
ReplyDeletePlush.........IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And there's some other stuff, but that's the most urgent request I have right now.
I like the blind bag ponies stuff, but it should be extended to other creatures besides ponies.
ReplyDeleteThe best possible piece of Pony Merch would be a Fluttershy (could be anypony really, but Fluttershy would be best) plushie that goes "Squee" when you hug it! All my money. Right there. Forever. :D
ReplyDelete1. Show accurate plushies of everypony.
ReplyDelete2. Show accurate toys.
3. Life size show accurate plushies of at least the Mane Cast.
Applejack should get her brown hat.
ReplyDeleteOther than that, I dunno.
I require the following:
ReplyDelete1. A Big Mac figure, preferably one with a little button on his back that makes him say "Eeyup!" when pressed.
2. A tiny Gummy that has a hair clip in his mouth so that he can clamp onto ponies' hair.
3. A party set for Pinkie Pie that includes Rocky, Mr. Turnip, Sir Lints-a-lot and Madame LaFlour.
For those of you asking for Discord, Gilda, Diamond Dog, or any other villain toys/merchandise, you might as well forget it.
ReplyDeleteVillains are not little girl friendly. :/
I'm gonna have to say plushies as well. Get on it, Hasbro!
ReplyDeleteOfficial pony dating sim.
ReplyDelete@Smashmatt202
ReplyDeleteI know, duh. We're just hoping here.
In fact, I also want official merchandise, ANY kind, that ISN'T little girl friendly. That would be pretty cool.
A life-sized Fluttershy plushy that doesn't cost >5k dollars.
ReplyDeleteI want a game myself, hopefully an RPG so we can play with all the characters, or maybe even generate our own, on say the DS, or maybe even a DLC title on X360 or PS3
ReplyDeleteWHITE Celestia, molded hair or silicone hair (see next)
ReplyDeleteLuna in her more appropriate Alicorn shape and height, with transparent flexible silicone based mane and tail embedded with glitter
Nightmare Moon silicone glitter hair like described above with Luna)
Discord... Nuff said.
BLIND BAGS ACTUALLY FOR SALE IN THE USA!!! We are STILL waiting for ANY AT ALL, and have only received the 12 pack Toys'R'Us exclusive set. While this set DOES cover the Mane 6 and provides 6 unique recolors, it leaves 36 additional unique Blind Bag ponies unavailable (removing the Mane 6, since the Toys'R'Us box includes them, and they are repeated in each wave of blind bags). In addition, there is already word of the NEW THIRD WAVE Blind Bags with the male characters added. Assuming the same pattern of the Mane 6 being repeated, and 18 new ponies (mix of recolors and new male ponies), that means the USA has only received 12 out of a total of 66 unique blind bag ponies.
More crystal ponies
More named background characters FROM THE SHOW, and INCLUDING MALE ponies in the standard 3 inch toy size.
A Luna Gift set that features a molded hair Luna, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash, and maybe Nightmare moon as well, so people who bought the 5 piece Gift Set (Celestia, Twilight, AJ, Pinkie, and Spike) can complete that line of toys with a complete set of the mane 6 and both Princesses.
An Everfree action set that contains Everfree forest creatures. The manticore, the cockatrice, the hydra, and possibly Nightmare Moon, if not part of the above mentioned gift set. To top off the set, include an Ursa Minor in the form of an inflatable toy. I've seen toys made using low cost manufacturing methods that are similar to inflatable pool toys. Make the plastic translucent blue, and print the star patterns and the appearance of the bear, and the end result is a unique Everfree Forest toy that is physically large, yet can be packed into a relatively small package, is cheap to make, and does not betray the scale of the figure in comparison to it's scale in the TV show. It even has the benefit of mimicking the etherial star creature appearance of the Ursa.
Also... Ursa Minor teddy bear. Dawwwwww! Ponyville water tower "bottle" included! :D
Show ACCURATE shaped and scaled Fashion Princess ponies. The fashion ponies they released for for Celestia and Luna should be renamed Tia and Woona. They look like filly Alicorns. I want properly scaled ADULT sized Fashion Celestia and Luna. Two molds, Luna being slightly smaller, Celestia being the larger of course. Also, show correct colors.
Did I mention BLIND BAGS in the USA!!!
THAT
HASBRO, HEAR MY PLEA. IN THE NAME OF PONIES, I DEMAND PLUSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
ReplyDeleteShow accurate stuff. Don't get me wrong, I like the merch I have, but the Twilight plushie they made needs longer hair in front, and both she and my Fluttershy toy only have their cutie marks on one side. If they made their stuff more like the characters in the show, I'd have absolutely no problems buying it, but they don't, so I always feel weird buying them in Target. It may also have something to do with the weird looks I get from other customers.
ReplyDeleteAlso, more plushies. Pleeeeease.
a posable Discord model.
ReplyDeleteOK, since others have not restricted themselves to outright toys...
ReplyDeleteSeason 1 BluRay, with special features.
G4 versions of the pony blanks. Rather than whole ponies, I say have a few assemble yourself parts:
*Head Styles (Mare horn/none, Stallion horn/none, filly horn/none, colt horn/none, maybe a few character specific styles, etc).
*Body Styles (Mare standing pose wing slots/none, Mare raised foreleg pose wing slots/none, Mare reared up pose wing slots/none, Stallion standing pose wing slots/none, Stallion raised foreleg pose wing slots/none, Stallion Mare reared up pose wing slots/none
*Wing Styles Large, medium, and small wing pairs in flared/flight/tucked poses, meant to fit inside the wing slots on the back of bodies with those slots (think how the wings with on molded hair Princess Celestia)
Also.. regarding the blank ponies in G4 shapes... Painting is fine and all, but I would like to see Hasbro sell decal sheets for custom pony makers. It should include several styles of eyes, as well as a variety of cutie marks, as seen on both toys and the TV show ponies. Cutie marks and eyes should be provided in mirrored pairs, and should be applicable to existing official toys as well. They should also include a decals in the set scaled larger to "finish" the Fashion ponies and the talking Celestia toys. They could sell the sets to let us fix the glaring flaw of all their toys being missing a cutie mark on one side. The TV show has CONFIRMED that cutie marks are on BOTH FLANKS!
At least if they sell a decal set, we have the OPTION of fixing our ponies, making customs with HIGH QUALITY decals for eyes and cutiemarks, and make us happy. I can't imagine a decal sheet would be expensive to produce. I'd pay a profit premium for the chance to "fix" all my half blank flank ponies, and to make customs.
They could also have a section of random "elements" that could be assembled to create custom cutiemarks.
I love the idea of a SIMPLE decal set!
Season box sets and show accurate toys.
ReplyDeleteBlu-Ray Collector's set, preferably with a DVD bundled in, I love these combo sets. Remastered soundtrack would be a nice bonus, with the background noise removed.
ReplyDeleteShow Accurate plushies. Like that one of Fluttershy that sold for $2,000. I've gotten plushies of equal quality as an add in for some Godiva's Chocolates, and the price tag was only $20 (the candy cost almost that much). So once the pattern is made its easy to mass produce in quality. Get rid of the horrid aborted pony fetus dolls!
Show Accurate COLLECTABLE figures. Like McFarlane Quality stuff. I mean, there's figures of JAY AND SILENT BOB for goodness sake! Where's my damn Fluttershy? I'm still kicking myself for not buying the Shrek Dragon that McFarlane put out.
☾ YEAH! HASBRO, HEAR OUR PLEA! THOU SHALT CRAFT PRINCESS PONYS OF SOFT CLOTH AND PLUSH STUFFING! NEIGH!!! WE DEMAND IT! ☽
ReplyDelete^
(Brought to you by the pony Luna, and the Royal Canterlot voice)
Celestia and Luna both need to be huggable! Squee!
Spitfire!
ReplyDelete^ and the letter "L"
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOL! :D
@PowderKicker
ReplyDeleteEveryday I'm Stop-motion
(If this toy happens, ^ this will happen... On plush Twilight's head)
Yes, I agree with everyone else. An accurate representation from the TV show of the 6 main ponies, including some backround ponies if possible in plushie or stuffed animal form.
ReplyDeleteI want to add a suggestion that I don't think no one mentioned before.
My Little Pony KRE-O sets! There has to be more variety than just Transformers all the time!
I'd like more show-accurate things, of more background ponies and other characters in addition to the mane 6. I really liked the larger non-brushable figures, and I really like the small figures, and I'd like to see more of both.
ReplyDeleteShow accurate plushies.
ReplyDeleteAnd a Luna plushie, now that would be cool! Basically, some more huggable stuff.
DVD/Blu-Ray boxsets seem like utter no-brainers to me. Kind of surprised there hasn't been an announcement of these yet.
ReplyDeleteAlso, while I wouldn't be buying this, absolutely everyone who has expressed an interest in buying a figurine or plushie (which is a lot of people), wants them to actually look like the show characters and not some creepy mutated version of them. Not just making Celestia the right color, the right proportions.
Look at this beautiful fanmade-plushie sold on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/120792470190?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
It went for $2475. If Hasbro made and sold plushies of that quality for $150 they would still be able to sell an awful lot of them.
OK EVERYPONY DON'T FREAK OUT WHEN I SAY THIS CAUSE YOU WILL GIVE ALL OF YOUR MONEY UP!
ReplyDeleteThe game of LIFE..... BUT PONY!!!!! O_O
They NEED to make the figures look like gen4!!!! Also, some plushies would be awesome! Odds are they'd be less expensive than handmade brony ones :)
ReplyDeleteShow accurate! Oh and plushies.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely more Spike, he needs more love from the toy department.
ReplyDeleteDefinately more plushies!
ReplyDeleteAnd for the love of all things in Equestria, make them LOOK decent!
These DO NOT LOOK OK!

Thanks to ToysRUs for disfiguring ponies beyond belief :|
box-set DVD/blue-ray for ponies that star in an ep. like trixie or brabern non pony little strong heart or gilda would be cool i know we are a creative bunch so a pony model kit to build your own pony male & female would be fun
ReplyDeleteI want all ponies from the show (especially derpy) the same the the current brushable ones available (but make them a lot more show accurate) and a pinkie pie plushie.
ReplyDelete@Wing0002
ReplyDeleteOh god, they...they can ruin ANYTHING. (is that a mohawk wtf)
I won't go back there to double-check that. Creepy ass motherfucking piece of shit.
D':
Genetically engineered real life Fluttershy! Science will find a way...
ReplyDelete@Somepony Else Everypony needs a Mini-Me
ReplyDeleteA CD album of all the songs from season 1, plus highlights of William Anderson's background music (including Pinkie's Parasprite Polka - the full mix, and Rarity's Fashion Show, for example). Use the Phineas and Ferb CDs as an example. You could even have the characters have short dialoge segments in between tracks, with new dialoge (not from the show) recorded.
ReplyDeleteA full season one DVD and Blu-ray release. (DVD for folks like me without a Blu-ray player.) For both DVD and Blu-ray: 5.1 surround sound mix, 2.0 Dolby Stereo mix, 5.1 SFX-only mix, 2.0 music-only mix, subtitles in English, Spanish, and French. Audio tracks: English, English descriptive video service, Spanish, and French. Bonus features: Storyboard progression reels, "Making of a Scene" in the style of Jinratgeist, cast and crew commentary and/or interviews, sing-along videos with the lyrics at the bottom like the Karaoke videos currently on YouTube. THE WORKS!
That's the maximum I'd ask for. At the bare minimum, I ask for a CD album release (yes, a physical CD) with all the songs from season one, plus a DVD/Blu-ray release with surround sound of all the episodes. That's all I ask for.
Do people who have the ability to make these things happen actually read these comments?
I giant, or just any size plush white Celestia. My life would be complete.
ReplyDeleteSupah soft supah fwuffy pwushies X3!
ReplyDeletePlush big Macintosh please !!!!! but not like this ugly plush Twilight !!!!
ReplyDeleteMerchandising! Merchandising! Spaceballs the shirt! Spaceballs the coffee mug! Spaceballs the video game! And my favorite, Spaceballs the doll...
ReplyDeleteWait, wrong fandom. Uhm... I'm good with t-shirts, actually.
I'd love some show accurate plushies or figures, Applejack with a hat especially.
ReplyDeleteShow-accurate ornamentals and a plush Twilight Sparkle big enough to dwarf all my other possessions. Series box-set with beaucoup extras. Soundtrack release.
ReplyDeleteHeck i would be happy just to get a couple blind bag boxes in the states. The addtion of the male ponies in the new set has added a great deal to the list of mods i can make if i can just get my hands on them. A deal like they did before with a blank pony to work with would be nice. DVD box set would be better. And just a hint I would buy pretty much anything Nightmare Moon releated.
ReplyDeleteKeychains.
ReplyDeleteYeah, as simple as that. I want keychains, and I want Hasbro to bring the goddamn McDonalds toys to Spain.
SE-RIOUS-LY.
A Discord, Gummy, Fluttershy, Big Mac, or DJ P0NY plushie. Mostly either Discord or Flutter.

How Hasbro can have the savvy to not issue any cease-and-desists and let Ponies snowball into this giant colossus yet not try to cater to the same market with tons of disposable income is beyond me.
ReplyDelete@Hasbro: Consider that the number of adult fans increased by about a factor of 50 over the last 13 months. This is because they are fans of the show and that is where the emotional connection exists. The show is the center of everything. Any merchandise that is aimed at Bronies must reflect the show. It cannot be some weird mutated thing. The show is not an advertisement for merchandise for them, and there is a gold mine waiting to be tapped if you would recognize that. You could be selling high-end plushies for $250 and smaller, less detailed ones for $50 and be selling a ton if they just looked like the characters in the show instead of some bizarre mutant offspring. Richer parents of your primary demographic would also buy some of these, you know.
Obviously their original target demographic is going to remain their focus, but if they want to go after Bronies, treat the show as the center of everything. We're not going to want things that look like bastardized mutant versions of the show we love anymore than 98% of us cared about ponies pre-G4.
tl;dr: SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY SHOW ACCURACY THIS IS COMPLETELY CRITICAL
NEED DISCORD!
ReplyDeleteBluray season sets and soundtrack CDs
ReplyDeleteAnything show accurate
ReplyDeletePlushies
'Nuff said.
A willingness to use fandom names for the background characters where they didn't have their respective names before hand. An unwillingness to use such names if they can't trademark them just makes Hasbro money hungry rather than cautious.
ReplyDelete1) Season 1 on DVD or Blueray with added bonus content.
ReplyDelete2) Official MLP:FiM soundtrack collection. In addition to the songs I would love to get the background music as well.
3) White Celestia.
4) Give Applejack a hat and make it brown. Honestly, little girls are not afraid of brown.
5) Check the fanmade plushies. Something like those would be nice. High quality, hugable. ^-^
6) Show accurate toys, including some background ponies, and villains would be ace :)
As of the moent I have only bought those little 2 inch blindbag ponies (though I already have about 20 of those). Give me show accurate toys. They don't even have to be brushable.
Release any of the above Hasbro, and you will have my money. I promise.
plushies, no homo shirts, and im not agains ta LEGO thing
ReplyDeleteGenerally, the same thing @richfiles and a few others have said: a Princess Luna Gift Set with Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. All the things available in stores in my area, not divided up by country and "exclusives" to store X. Figurines and plushes with at least this level of accuracy and quality, but don't expect people to pay $4000 each for them. DVD box sets of entire seasons, not dribbles and drabs. Quality soundtracks. Quality compilations of fanmusic, remastered. Art of MLP:FIM book. I assume that MLP figurines are very durable, so ceramic versions are probably overkill, except tiny ceramic ones to put in Epiphany cakes (gateau du roi). Mugs, pins, watches, alarm clocks, nightlights, cookie cutters, Pinkie Pie cake decorator (icing syringes) sets, Twilight's guide to all things astronomy, Applejack's apple recipe book, a flying Rainbow Dash 7 RC airplane, a Rarity programable embroidery sewing machine (expensive?), a Fluttershy wild animal care and habitat book (bird feeders, brush piles for rabbits...), a MLP:FIM How to Draw book. For Easter: chocolate ponies.
ReplyDeleteBluray box set!
ReplyDeleteElements of Harmony. We needed pony figures with the Elements of Harmony as an accessory. We all see that Twilight is getting her Element Accessory, it's nice that we see the last five.
ReplyDeleteAlso, a video game would be nice, even if it has to be a puzzle game.
ReplyDeleteBanana bag and megaphone.
ReplyDeleteGood show accurate plushies please especially RD
ReplyDeleteFirst, I do really want to see some merch that actually represents the style of the tv show. It can be whatever the great and powerful hasbro wants, but on one condition - that it's really from,on and about the show.
ReplyDeleteDerpy :)
ReplyDelete#1, Soundtrack CD(s)
ReplyDelete#2, Semi-show accurate plushies! Who doesn't want a Fluttershy or Pinkie Pie to hug?
#3, I don't know... Maybe some accessories like hats, buttons, keychains. Stuff like that.
#4, I want Fluttershy to get her own blindbag mold so she doesn't have to share Rainbow Dash's look. It's only fair.
Any one of these would rock.
Everything, ANYTHING show-accurate.
ReplyDeleteI would like two sets of toys only.
ReplyDeleteFor one normal plastic figures (without moving parts) like the McDonalds one and without this fake hair, just plastic hair.
They should look like in the tv show and by Celestia please adopt the fan names. I will never call Carrot Top "Golden Harvest" or whatever her name is now.
And yeah I would love to have figures of villains like Discord and Nightmare Moon.
And be true to the show, I want AJ with a hat and the correct proportions on all ponies.
The second line of toys have to be really cute plushies of course. The mane 6 would be enough for me. But more is better of course.
A Derpy plush would be awesome.
I'd purchase products that looked more like the characters on the show. I don't like a majority of stuff that's currently on sale now because I find that they just doesn't look like any of the characters from the show.
ReplyDeleteBuild A Pony Workshop. Make it happen.
One thing I forgot last time. I want a place where I could actually buy some of this stuff! At the moment the only way is ebay, as the stores here don't have what I want and the online stores I've found don't ship here :P So maybe an online store that ships worldwide? Or at least to Finland -.-
ReplyDelete
