• McDonald's Ponies Sighted in Hong Kong

    by

    Gasp and a half! Are you, like me, somepony who foolishly squandered their chance at snatching up the McDonald's pony toys when they had the chance? Have you dismayed lo these many months about the crazy, crazy prices these things sell for on eBay? Every night I think about how I can't brush a pony's tail is soul crushing torture. If you know my pain, then I have good news for you: they're back! In Hong Kong!

    You may be saying to your computer screen, "Phoe, I know you can't hear me, but are you crazy? Those ponies are all the way over there! How am I supposed to get them?" Well, mysterious figure from across the internet, unlike me I assume you are a resourceful pony. These things are going to be making their way back over here, and when they do it should be significantly cheaper to pick them up. Perhaps soon I will get to lull myself to sleep every night with a Rainbow Dash to call my very own.

      Hmm have they appeared in the UK yet? Because the other toys haven't been released yet (first set on play is released next week) I would assume not.

      Bring $8 for one pony with your meal, or $12 for additional ponies! One question, tho: do they come with free melamine? :)

      Mcdonalds should just keep other toys in the Girl's happy meal, and just make The Pony Meal, with MANLY proportions.

      I may be able to convince a colleague to obtain some for me, if the show up in Worst Korea.

      This may take some careful negotiation.

      Ugh, stereotype. Wasn't the news making fun of us with this?
      "And then we can't believe we're getting a plane ticket to Hong Kong because we missed a chance to get a McDonald's Happy Meal toy in America."

      lol j/k this is awesome omg!
      Honestly though, they look kinda ugly. If I had to buy something, I'd prefer one of those plushies I saw somewhere on this website XD

      Hmm...

      I guess I'll hold off on paying $15 for a Mickey D's Fluttershy.

      For a little while, anyways. See if somepony decides to offer them cheap or something...

      @Bongo Actually it's even simplier than that: just go south of the border, and get into any decent-sized "tianguis" or flea market. Then you can find tons of McD's ponies at very cheap prices =)

      That way I'm making my own pony collection (unfortunately, that elusive Rainbow Dash is getting quite hard to get >=/ ).

      I have an extra G4 Rainbow Dash McDonald's toy still in it's original unopened packaging. I also have Twilight Sparkle, AppleJack, Princess Celestia and Cheerilee.

      I have the entire set, these are extras that are just sitting around collecting dust in my house.
      If someone is interested, I would be willing to part with them.

      Bought the entire set when they had just come out for like 17 bucks on ebay, and a later second set for customs for around 23 bucks, so it's just a matter of looking around and snagging the right deal.. but people are not missing allot by not owning these figures.

      Applejack and Twilight are the only two 'really' decent looking figures of the bunch. The rest aren't bad persay they just show their flaws more openly.

      Hm, I really want those figurines, but I boycott McDonald's. No way in hell will I give up my morals for a few plastic figurines; Applejack wouldn't approve. (And neither would the others.)

      @Anonymous Yes, here in Mexico fellow cabrony! Know the show hasn't aired yet on mexican television, but anyway you can find Mc D's ponies on several "tianguis" and flea markets.

      I'm living in Guadalahoofra and I've managed to get 6 of the ponies: only need Rainbow Dash and Cherilee for getting my little collection complete =D

      I find the Mc Donald's toys to be decent. They combine molded hair with a brushable tail. Works well for me... Still no Luna though.

      The biggest flaw with the McD toys is they really fail at the cutie marks. All the ponies that have triple marks only have a single mark (Fluttershy has one butterfly, Applejack has only one apple, Pinkie Pie has only one balloon, etc). Rainbow Dash's cutie mark is downright wrong. It's a magenta outline of a lightning bolt, no curvature, no rainbow colors, no cloud. Still, Dashie's hair is very nice, compared to the retail toy. Fluttershy's hair properly covers half her face on one side, and is NOT a recolored Dash, like she is is in the blind bags. Fact is, Mc Donalds Ponies are epic win for NOT being a bunch of recolors. Each of the 8 ponies are uniquely molded.

      I'd like to buy some decal paper to use with my color laser printer. Since peopel have made graphics of the cutie marks, it'd be cool to print out a whole sheet of them. Sheets of cutie mark decals could be used to fix the incorrect McD cutie marks, and also make them appropriately double sided. That really annoys me, that they are too cheap to put the cutie mark on both sides.

      REALLY!!!

      Anyway, I love my McDash, and my 4 pack Dashie... even though my 4 pack Dashie is DERP EYED, to the MAX!!!
