• Pinkie Pie Bubbles Fail

    I actually got this one in an email from someone over at Fail blog.  I didn't know they had ponies popping up over there!

    Dem 3d bubbles. 

    ^^UPDATE^^ From the sounds of it in the comments, these bubbles aren't so fail after all!  From someone who works with toys...
    "As a TOY SPECIALIST (read: I am employed in a toy store) I can tell you more about the pic. I am not sure how they do this, but you put the glasses on and there is supposedly a picture that appears on the bubble."

    "It’s labeled wrong, but the 3D glasses might actually server a purpose — polarized lenses make colorful diffraction patterns like those in bubbles much more visible."
    Alright Hasbro, I'm done raggin on your toys now.  Go make us some cool stuff.

    1. ... whut?
      Is this real real, or just a pirate-brand product (please tell me it's the second. The official recolors were bad enough already)

      It's real, I've seen them on various forums, no one really ever made the connection though.

    5. I didn´t know that bubbles are normally 2D.
      Someone buy it and tell me how that´s supposed to work.

      Not so much fail. Just mislabeled.

      What Pinkie pie seems to be holding, on the other hoof...

    7. That's true; 3-D glasses even make cellphone screens look kinda pretty... it's not hard to imagine that they'd also have some effect on bubbles.

      Still a weird toy, though

      Understandable. The keys are just right to each other.

    11. These are easy enough to find in the toy aisles at Walmart, along with kites and other outdoor-fun stuff. They made Pinkie a squeeze toy because otherwise you'd be blowing in her butt. That would be fail. (The Transformers one has Bumblebee's right arm cannon as the bubble maker, so you blow in his shoulder.)

    12. This isn't so bad when consider that Pinkie would be ALL OVER this toy.
