Purple Tinker and Zebranky recently ordered a whole bunch of blindbag ponies from that listing on Taobao. As of right now, I don't think these have showed up at any actual retailers yet.
Included in the mix are various male ponies, as well as some very different glow-in-the-dark versions of the mane cast. Apparently the pink/purple shows up green.
It's a shame the originals never made it stateside, lets hope these do! I want some glowy mane cast and Lyra.
After the break, you will find a massive chart, listing each pony, the small "blurb" of information listed on their character card, and their reference number (So you can pick and choose if they ever show up in your area. Just match the number with the imprint on the actual blindbag).
They are also selling a few of the male ponies on ebay, links to those are also after the break!

ReplyDeleteTHIRD
ReplyDeleteSUCCESS
Still waiting for the first wave to show up here across the pond.
ReplyDeleteI hope these make it to the states. I want a Lyra- er, heartstrings so bad. :(
ReplyDeleteI totally misread "Goldengrape"...
ReplyDeleteI'm crying right now because I know I'll never have that many.
ReplyDelete@Nymo
ReplyDeleteAs did I.
I read #5 as, 'Goldenrape'.
ReplyDeleteThat is all.
So. Much. Pony.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna goldengrape you in the mouth?
ReplyDelete...sorry
Oh my G. That is a lot of pony.
ReplyDeletephotos
ReplyDelete*yunoguy*
y u no good?
I love how random "Lovestruck" is... she has a cupid cutie mark... but loves sports? Awkward...
ReplyDeleteFor a second, I thought #24 was Bon-Bon.
ReplyDeleteDammot Blind Bags. Come out in England, I want a Pinkie Pie D:
ReplyDeleteWhat do you search on Taobao to find them >.>
ReplyDeleteSo much pony
ReplyDeleteThis would be wave 3, not wave 2. In any case, I'm going to get ahold of these somehow. I wonder though why the mane 6 aren't numbered 1-6 (and the glow versions numbered 22-24) as in previous blind bag sets. Trying to evade us collectors? Not gonna work; we still figured out the numbers. ;)
ReplyDeleteI like how Apple Dazzle is SO loyal.
ReplyDeleteSo...
ReplyDeleteSeafoam was it?
Her name is apparently Sea Swirl?
Well I know I'm okay with that. Maybe she's even related to Star Swirl distantly.
Am I the only one playing spot the Mane 6 in that box? I've found them all now, I think.
ReplyDelete@CircuitScratch
ReplyDeleteAnd Lucky Dreams is SO lucky. It's like her parents knew she'd be lucky someday.
SO MANY PONIES! *wants blind bag*
ReplyDeleteCan you only get blind bags at ToyRUs?
FLUTTERSHY
ReplyDeleteY U NO HAVE UNIQUE MOLD?
Rainbowshine, I like that name better than Rainbow Day.
ReplyDeleteAw, no glowie Fluttershy? Ah well, I might pick some of these up if I get some money.
ReplyDeleteSome of the names still... yeah. lol Still, I'd probably buy one of each just to have them. :P
ReplyDeleteNo Derpy?
ReplyDeleteAh well, Imma try to find her in the box.. I'm sure she's hiding somewhere......
Hasbro, are you trying to kill us at the wiki!?!?
ReplyDeleteThe lazy naming scheme on these things always drives me nuts.
ReplyDeletewhat no eppaljeck XD
ReplyDeleteAnd we all still love the fandom names...
ReplyDeleteNo pegasi boys? ._. Oh well. Maybe the next set.
ReplyDeleteLucky Dreams is so lucky.
ReplyDeleteOh no guize, Sea Spray is Sea Swirl. oh noez hasbro y u change teh names!!!11111one
there was 6 different poses, that's just sad..
ReplyDeleteso drunk iys amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteI read #5 as Goldenrape..
ReplyDeleteLooking at Berry Punch's, does this mean 'berries' is a euphemism for alcohol now?
ReplyDelete#8 "... loves sharing treats!"
ReplyDeleteNot since Derpy cleaned out her fridge.
inb4 "Her name is Carrot Top"
@Nymo
ReplyDeleteXD I misread 'goldengrape' too. Shame on us.

ReplyDeleteI guess Hasbro thinks they can collect more money by getting people to buy the 'full size' ponies in the states because there's a bigger demand for pony. That's the only reason I can of why these aren't here.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I definitely wouldn't buy my little sister that Fluttershy; she'd recognize it's Rainbow Dash recolored. So I guess you win, Hasbro.
When doing Transformer repaints oftentimes Hasbro will give them new head molds to differentiate the characters, but apparently it's way to freaking expensive for them to make more than 6 pony molds. Something doesn't seem right here.
ReplyDeleteHasbro, you're already catering to me in one market, why not just go ahead and cater to me with ponies too.
Cherryberry... she's a background pony too, isn't she?
ReplyDeleteSo, is there a know address on taobao for these? I've been searching for quite a while now. I'd love to order a box of these for myself, and for customs!
ReplyDeleteAlso found what LOOKS like a white celestia on taobao. I really don't know what any of the details are, but it sure looks impressive. Unfortunately, they ditched the molded hair for the brushable hair. They maintain pink on the wing tips.

(I apologize for the parasprites in the comments, and for my rage mode after the image. Ignore the first few comments if you like. I let the parasprites get to me. Apparently, people like to repeatedly vandalize your tags with insults when you don't manage to get them posted within a half second of the image going up.
I really don't know HOW taobao works, but this looks interesting to say the least. I'm not sure if this is some one off thing from China, or if it's an actual future product.
@richfiles
ReplyDeleteIt isn't a white Celestia. I bought one with this shipment because it LOOKED white. It's pink. It's just slightly less pink, if at all. :)
Also, you can't buy any more on Taobao; I bought ALL of them. Furthermore, you can't buy directly from Taobao unless you have a ship-to address in China. Also, it takes around a month to get any of this stuff into the US, and you TOTALLY don't want to hear about what the shipping costs.
ReplyDeleteThis gives me a little ray of hope. Apple Dazzle was clearly named Apple Bumpkin in the show so the names of the toys do not directly correlate to the names in the show. Long live Lyra, Carrot Top, and Berry Punch!
ReplyDelete@Wicked Wonderland Also, it's pretty clear that Berry Punch is NOT Berryshine... Berry Punch is an earth pony, Berryshine is a unicorn. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is official Hasbro type toys, right? I'm a little amused at some of them more than I thought I'd be.
ReplyDelete@Purple Tinker
ReplyDeleteNo more!!! No more blind bag ponies left!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! (said Spike)
As for the weird Celestia toy I found on the site.
How pink are we talking. Celestia's edge details on the show are most definitely pink, but her coat color is white. I'm OK with the pink wing tips, since so many of those pink edge lines are utilized to render all the feathers of Celestia's large wings on the show, shifting the overall color space of the wings slightly pink.
How is the body coat color compared to the old style Pink toys? Ar the wing tips actually a darker pink, shifting the perception of the image and making the body just seem less pink? I know bad photo's can do wonders in concealing the true color of an image.
Any chance of posting some pics of this one you got under good lighting, maybe next to a 5 pack gift set Celestia, for comparison purposes?
I'm just curious about this very different looking Celestia toy, to be honest. My curiosity reaches Twilight Sparkle levels! This will clearly end with an anvil hitting my head, and me in a wheelchair. My curiosity must be fed! Mwahahahahaha!!!
also...
Hasbro! I RAGE AT YOU for having THREE WAVES OF BLIND BAG TOYS internationally, and still only release a small half size collection in the US.
Hasbro, I am disappoint
As for shipping, I buy parts form China on occasion. Nothing like dealing with multiple palettes of electric motors, and finding they all are built to the quality standards of chinese junk. Can't even tell you how many have had to have rework. Certainly cheaper than sending the bad ones back. I'm sure they count on that! Heck, I even service my own cellphone when it breaks. Stupid throw away society. I get cell parts from China, and thanks to that, I've been out of my 2 year contract for years now. I'm a bit familiar with all the insanities of Chinese shipping. I'm just bummed they are gone... This makes my Luna avatar sad... but you can't see... cause, you know, her mouth is full of apples.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else thinking Sprinkle Stripe could be the same pony as Cupcake?
ReplyDelete@richfiles I'll try to get a comparison photo of Pinklestia vs. Slightly-less-pinklestia. Gimme a few. Still waiting on my next shipment of gift sets.
ReplyDeleteWhat does Goldeng mean?
ReplyDeleteThanks Purple TInker. My Twilight level curiosity will be satisfied, for now... Until the next time! Mwahahah! :D
ReplyDeleteI just wish Hasbro would stop with this ridiculous regional crap. They make it so hard to collect! How can they think not bringing a toy into the US market is even remotely a good idea. I wanna know what their execs are smoking, and then get it banned if it's not already!
Again! Thanks PT!
Big Mac is very gentle?
ReplyDeleteSOOOO many ways my twisted little mind can pervert that.
Shame the blind bags aren't being sold around where I live. Aside from any DVDs, they'd be the only pony merchandise I'd be man enough to buy.
Lovestruck . . . loves sports!
ReplyDeleteOh Hasbro. Hasbro, Hasbro, Hasbro.
@Wicked Wonderland
ReplyDeleteAs far as Lyra goes, I say her full name is Lyra Heartstrings. That way if you call her Lyra you're not wrong, and if they call her Heartstrings on the show it would be like how Fry and Leela are called by their last names. Everypony wins!
yay.
Hmph. We're still missing Lyra, Carrot Top and Berry Punch. Maybe someday we'll get them.
ReplyDeleteFluttershy's hair makes me mad -3-
ReplyDeleteTHEY DID IT! I might just have to go back to bronycon...
ReplyDeleteWhy can't we get these in the US yet?
ReplyDeleteLego, Playmobile, Megabloks, even Hello Kitty and those Squinkies things all have a blindbag thing going on and seem to be selling well.(at least the 1st three anyway, my local ToysRUs sells out of them pretty quickly.)
REALLY WANT!!!
ReplyDeletewill they be sold in the UK???
Here in Finland we have Zhu Zhu Pets ''blindbags'' and some other crap in every shop but not enough blindbag ponies ;__; I wish I could move somewhere else...
ReplyDeleteHeartstrings
ReplyDelete...sings all day
How does that even what how who what HOW?!
#24 ...Is that a terribly fashioned Bon-Bon?
ReplyDeleteI oh so hope that they come to the US before christmas I want them soo bad!!
ReplyDelete*sigh*
ReplyDeleterecoloring, recoloring everywhere!
Lovestruck... likes sports. Um, okay.
ReplyDeleteDamn it Hasbro! I want my Big MacIntosh!
ReplyDelete@Skylark Torch
ReplyDeleteme too!
Fluttershy's hair is completely wrong. D: And so is Lyra's (or "Heartstrings'"...) And what is it with most of the background ponies' models being the exact same as Twilight's and Rarity's models except with different colors? How lazy. >.> But out of the ones that don't suck, I totally want my own Big Macintosh when it comes out. :D
ReplyDeleteI want them all and a second set in glow versions
ReplyDeleteHoly crap. How do you just get a large boxful of pony? I think I would just have a seizure from happiness if I ever opened a box and found that it contained that much pony.
ReplyDelete
