Random Merch: New Hot Topic Shirt / G4 Gummies / Blind Bags Return!

Credit: Shrp Shooter

Remember those fruit snacks with the misleading label?  The hidden g3 nonsense in the box? It looks like they have finally updated them with actually G4 pony snacks.  You can now devour your favorite ponies instead of those monstrosities that were originally included.

We also have a new Hot Topic shirt for all of you that don't like buying from online stores.   Unlike most of their shirts, I haven't seen this one elsewhere, so I guess it's exclusive!

Click for Buying Page!

And finally, Blindbags have popped up at Toywiz.  It looks like you can buy singles here, as opposed to a full box.  The Hasbro Toy Shop also has them back in stock for those that missed the first wave. Go buy some pony I guess!

Already got my box of blind bags. :D Just waiting for it to arrive.

wackypony said...

devouring my favorite ponies sounds.... wrong.

bewareoblivionisathand said...

And suddenly, I started feeling hunger.

ClutterCluster said...

I saw those gummies awhile ago. Yes, the box and the packaging are g4 but the actual gummies themselves are STILL g3. XD

Daniel G. said...

Wonder if it will take more than three hours for them to sell out those box sets this time?

Found blind bags at Toys R Us the other day, pulled 4 noponys and a Twilight Sparkle.

OperatorPony said...

Are those BLind Bags teh First set or the second set with Big Macintosh?

DE Fluttershy said...

Quickly Throw all your money at Hasbro

Pinkie Swirl said...

Ahhh, if the shipping wouldn't cost as much as the product xD

No_Brand_Hero said...

@ClutterCluster

I'd prefer to eat the G3 ponies, really. They were horrible and deserve their fate.

Octavia Equals Awesome said...

Please Hasbro, make the boxes available in Europe! there's enough people here willing to pay for it.

TAKE OUR MONEY!

Ten said...

Time to buy some ponies!

Octavia Equals Awesome said...

Blindbags are available in Europe but only in stores. A complete box would be great ^^

Nitrous Dash said...

devour your favorite pony? ehhh wut?

Matoro said...

Where can I get the mlp gummy snacks? Wal-Mart? I am thinking of getting one when it gets closer for my persuasion speech presentation, for communications class.
As for the Pinkie Pie Hot Topic shirt, I say hooray! :D Hot Topic is slowly getting there (In the past, all they had was RD). They need to add more ponies though, like Rarity. I'll definitely buy a Rarity T-Shirt!

Dantes_Grill said...

Allot of people have bought the blind bag box so does it include everything or just random ponies?

ShokBox said...

>"devour your favorite ponies"

The Numberman said...

Oh god the shipping prices.
Holy hell.

I really want them, but I think I'll pass. $43 is too much for shipping.

Torey said...

toysrus stores in the sf bay area need to start selling blindbags

Ki said...

Please stop calling older generations "monstrosities".
Not everyone shares your random hatred towards everything that is not G4. Love and tolerance, right?

The Seventh Wonderbolt said...

Monstrosities? I lol'd. I don't think the G4 ponies deserve to be devoured, though. I yay'd at the Pinkie Pie shirt. If I could afford it right now, I'd totally go and buy it, put it on in the store and walk around with this face http://s405.photobucket.com/albums/pp134/WindFoxx/?action=view&current=award_for_best_letter_goes_to____by_daikaluff-d4o1c0t.png

all day.

Rex said...

where can I find this? Man, I can't wait to eat one.

Shrpsho0ter said...

Uh, quick correction, only the packaging is G4 now. The (tasty) snacks are still the old and in my opinion horrifying ponies.

Torey said...

they sell them at safeway

Torey said...

the gummies i mean

Shiranai said...

That Pinkie Pie shirt is awesome. Too bad Hot Topic is ridiculously expensive.

Kimmy said...

Has wave 2 already hit the US?

Lady Ice Dragon said...

I just took a look around the Hot Topic website, they sell a LOT of the shirt designs I thought were unique to We Love Fine.

Guy said...

Gummy? Gummy must be Gummy! What the Gummy? Too much Gummy. Not enough ponies!

Guy said...

Shut up and take my money!

Matt said...

Found some blind bags at Toys R Us and Walmart yesterday. Grabbed everything Toys R Us had and 10 from Walmart. All I got were random palette swaps. Boo!

Dan V. said...

@Shiranai

Yes, the FOREVER shirt is a Hot Topic exclusive, for the time being at least. You should be able to buy it for $20-$25 depending on size.

You might recognize the because I created it. Original design on DeviantArt. It's officially licensed for your fun.

Pinkie Pie is Watching You is available as well, and that one is available online at hottpic.com. Hopefully FOREVER will be available online soon too, since I believe it makes the better shirt.

Bah, the comment ate my link. The FOREVER shirtis a design of mine, and it is currently a Hot Topic exclusive. You can see the original design in my gallery.

ShadowFlare said...

Yes!! Going to Hot Topic now!!!

rockybulwinkle said...

I those blindbags at Walmart, too.

D-pad Dash said...

I remember going to hot topic and buying my brony shirt.I also saw a RD sticker (or was it an iron on?).I kinda want a discord shirt.I want a pinkie shirt that says "are you exited cause im exited ive never been so exited exept for the time i went "huuuuhh!" but i mean really..."And a picture of pinkie being crazy.

Dan V. said...

@Timofei I saw what you did there, you didn't have to remove it. :V I wasn't explicit enough. Yes, I am KefkaFloyd.

Nykkes64 said...

Hope to buy those Ponies fruit snacks at Winn-Dixie stealthy!!!! ^_^

Destroyer said...

Maybe I could somehow persuade my parents to take me to the mall buy a shirt and then wear it secretely...

RainbowDash818 said...

Are there any stores in Calgary, Alberta that sell shirts like this?

Vipera said...

@OperatorPony
I ordered a box when they first showed up. Got an email saying it shipped on the 15th. I'll post here and a couple other places when it gets here as to whether or not in contains a full set.

BossManJohn said...

I think the hate for older generations of pony is mostly reserved for g3 and g3.5, anypony else agree?

Nissl said...

I found an untouched blind bag box at a Walmart near Sacramento, it did indeed have the whole wave 1 set. All of them seem to, although there is some cya language that not every box *has* to in case there's a sorting error.

Ki said...

@BossManJohn

But G3 had a very young target audience. At one point one of the cartoons was about learning how to count. What sane adult complains that a show aimed at toddlers doesn't entertain them?
Not to mention that the toyline was actually great.

Honestly, I'm sick of this older gen bashing. It's stupid.

Flutterlove~ said...

stop supporting hot topic!when it comes to mlp merch

MyBoyJ said...

Last week, I saw several boxes of G3 gummies at Big Lots. They weren't even the "misleading" ones with G4 graphics on the box, just plain G3 all around.

Linkeh24 said...

But those are misleading, they use the same fruit snacks as the g3 ones, but just different box and bag vectors.

Shipping outside of the US for those mystery packs is RIDICULOUS. -.-

Guess there's no ponies for me. I already have enough anyways. xD

Supersteelwing said...

I should keep my eyes open.

rabid-turtle said...

Bought the Easter Chocolate and an activity book today at Zellers.... I wonder if the Hot Topic in Burlington ON has pony gear..

Mintie Pony said...

Oh my word.... It's nice that they're individually selling the blind bags, but $6 for shipping?? That comes out to almost $10 for ONE bag.

Ugh....no thanks...

GoldenSandslash15 said...

I can confirm that the fruit snacks are G3, despite having G4 boxing and G4 packaging.

Not that there's anything wrong with that - I happened to like G3 and the snacks still taste the same (not to mention that NONE of the money is going to support G3, if anything it'll support G4), but I know some bronies will avoid any MLP stuff pre-G4, so I'm just putting that out there.

Pinstar said...

Is there Gummi gummies in the pony snacks one?

Awalk said...

confound ponies... making me prepare to spend my paycheck when it arrives...

CoolStoryBrony said...

I swear to Celestia that that Pinkie Pie t-shirt's staring into my soul.

TDR said...

I have all the series one I need, waiting for season 3 with the male ponies. I need some varaition in my mods.

Ocean Sapphire said...

Yeah I got G3 gummies and I was so pissed. I'm glad they finally updated. Just wish I saw this article before I went to the store.

Unknown said...

I ate some G3 snacks last month. G3 Pinkie is delicious. So is whatever the blue pegesus is. It sure as hell isn't Rainbow.

iloveMLP said...

i see and i must buy

Paleo said...

I must have that forever shirt. That's from my favorite episode.

linzaiyana said...

If there are any Cincinnati bronies here, I spied blind bags at both Wal-Marts on Colerain Ave. $1.96 a pony. Finally nabbed me a Fluttershy and an AJ to go with the Twilight/Dash/Rarity/Pinkie 4-pack I got so long ago. Plus the three glittery ponies. Yay. :)

Supersteelwing said...

I need that shirt real bad.

Shippoyasha said...

Guys, g3 packaging went away. They are all now g4. Only old stocks have g3

Naner said...

$38 international shipping? Is this some kind of joke? >:(

You will pay expensive shipping... FOREVER!!1!

Soundmonkey44 said...

Just got back from my local Wal-Mart, it had the blind-bags back in stock, got myself 4 packs, I must be lucky because I got half of the mane 6 (Rainbow, Rarity & Twilight). Aside from that got some RD repaint called sourgrape or something like that. But yeah, glad Hasbro is doing their best to keep em in stock. Although I do wonder when waves 2 & 3 will hit the states.

StarZer0 said...

Yeah , I bought This Shirt TODAY !!! They said it was an in store exclusive and may come online in the future.

Bolan said...

I went to 3 Wal-Marts in one day and found 3 empty blind bag boxes.

CURSE YOU BRONIES! CURSE YOUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

Yellow 13 said...

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Sparkly Twilight and Pinkie, Roseluck and Flower Wishes all acquired.

Wraithkun said...

Found out that the blind bags aren't actually randomized. Scalpers have been pulling all the Mane 6 and the glitter ponies out from wal-marts all around the area. Sent an e-mail to Hasbro, got a standard response meant for people complaining that the packs are random...

Mike said...

I went to a Toys-R-Us where I thought they had blind bags... ... THEY ONLY HAD G3.5!!

I would say it was the worst possible thing, but really it was only somewhat unpleasant. I still needed mind bleach tho.

supasonix said...

I will now perform the celebratory dance of my people:

OH wow! Thank y'all for posting that :) We've been trying to put together something special for you guys, so I'm going to follow up on that tomorrow morning!

@GoldenSandslash15

You do relise that Hasbro didn't make these gummies and G3 ponies and G4 ponies are made by the same company. Hasbro.

Really, just because G3s cartoons suck doesn't mean you can go ewww I'M NOT GONNA SUPPORT HASBRO. Remember that many names and characters (Ponyville, the term cutie marks, Cheerilee, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle (they weren't original G1 ponies) come from G3.

Quackers said...

@Ki

I agree with this. I hate how everyone hates G3 because of the cartoons. MLP is about the toys anyway.

Quackers said...

Also, you can't support G3, even if you did buy G3 items. It died since FiM started. All of the G3 items are old.

Mefista said...

MONSTROSITES?fuck yourself!

Vipera said...

@Vipera
Just arrived. There are no duplicates. All 24 ponies are present.

http://imgur.com/a/tITKb

Imgur derped on #3, but it didn't cut out any of the ponies!

KillXXbaby said...

Found all of the blind bag wave one at walmart! Didn't find the glittery ones :( are they one per box?

Vipera said...

@KillXXbaby
Yep. One each of glittery Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle. Someone might've dug through it and picked them out specifically.

brickule said...

I went to my HotTopic, they did not have the shirt, and didn't know anything about it! I guess I need to go to one in a bigger city. I NEED THAT SHIRT! I am putting the picture on my phone to prove in future encounters with HotTopic employees that I am not crazy.

KillXXbaby said...

has anyone found the blind bags at target? no shirt at hot topic...
