At least they're not literally trying to pass them off as such--it DOES say "Royal Ball," which must be some cheap knock-off of the Grand Galloping Gala. xD<br /><br />Now, naturally, they SHOULD make show-accurate toys dressed in the proper Gala ensembles. We'd SO be all over it. Every potential buyer would likely be much more impressed with the care taken in the toys' creation, and maybe better encouraged to purchase even at a somewhat higher price. But I DO understand that these things are much more practical for them to produce, and besides, little girls will probably be satisfied with them. <br /><br />I do gotta love Spike's bow. x3 And the dresses aren't the worst thing I've ever seen, but I am disappointed in the amount of attention that obviously went into them. I guess if you needed a set of all six (plus Spike! <3 I do want him, lol), this could be fine. And I absolutely understand everything about Hasbro's business needs and the fact that they're a large company manufacturing many other brands and everything...but regardless, I just know that if I were designing toys (and I would SO love to be), I'd be trying to make them the coolest, best darned toys they could possibly be...and assuming that I'd wind up reaping plenty o' profits because of that simple fact.RainbowSassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-78613078536473597442011-06-16T22:50:06.011-06:002011-06-16T22:50:06.011-06:00NeVerWant.

MLP doesn't sell as well as other Hasbro products because so few have respect for them. Consumers do not respect the toys because they can look at them and see that little effort went into their creation. "If the manufacture has so little respect for the toy and me as a a consumer, why should I spend money on it?" Hasbro doesn't respect the MLP line enough to put more money into it to make consumers respect them enough to buy them.<br /><br />The problem is that now a lot more people do respect MLP. Hasbro had FiM made to make MLP more popular and drum up sales and it has, but if they really want to make the toys of themselves more desirable they have try and make them look less (once again for lack of a better word) lame. I bet that if Hasbro put a little more money and effort into the toys they would see an increase in sales. I'm not just saying this as an adult as I know girls who like the show but still scoff at the idea of actually owning one of the toys and a commenter earlier told how their daughter reacted negatively to this box set. <br />I'm not raging at Hasbro, only sadden that after nearly 30 years nothing has really changed about the way they view this property. Especially after the release of a show that has changed the way so many view MLP and continues to do so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-13501168838584343572011-06-15T13:43:33.190-06:002011-06-15T13:43:33.190-06:00Seth has confused us all.

They have a lot more toys that have a much larger amount of buyers than the brony community. For all we know, Hasbro probably doesn't know about us at all, or just doesn't care about us bronies. Think of it from Hasbro's perspective, we're really not very special to them as we may think we are. To a big company like them, a brony buying a toy for himself is the same as a parent buying a toy for their child. They're not getting anymore money if it's sold to a brony, so what's the point in making better quality toys to appease bronies?<br /><br />Of course better toys would be great, but don't go raging at Hasbro when they don't come. And to one of the bronies above, it has nothing to do with respect. My little pony most likely does not sell as much as the toys Hasbro makes an effort in making. Simple as that. If millions of people bought a my little pony toy, Hasbro would put more money into increasing the quality of their toys.<br />What's a solution to this? Somehow make my little pony's toyline more popular.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-44227998533226004792011-06-15T13:21:49.601-06:002011-06-15T13:21:49.601-06:00I’m the ANON who posted about the lack of respect ...I’m the ANON who posted about the lack of respect for girl’s toys. I feel I need to correct myself a little. Not only could Hasbro do better work but they have done better. <br />http://www.hasbro.com/shop/browse/Girls/_/N-1rZ1yZgt/Ne-19<br />Scroll down a bit and look at the dresses on those Littlest Pet Shop dolls. If they can mass produce those and other toy companies have no trouble designing and mass producing elaborate cloth dresses for their dolls (ex. Mattel and Barbie) I see no reason why Hasbro could not have recreated Rarity’s Gala Dress designs. No reason except a lack of respect. <br />So what if they would have to make the ponies a little bigger so the dresses will be large enough to fit the level of detail needed, meaning that they can’t just recycle the G3 designs resulting in the figures costing $15 at the store instead of $6. I think people both young and old would appreciate the extra level of effort placed into the figures and the girls would probably end up holding onto their MLP doll just a little bit longer.<br />My Little Pony is one of Hasbro’s flagship toy lines and it is sad that they do not treat it with the same level of respect that they do Transformers or GI Joe because it is for girls and even more so because it is MLP. It is not a question of time as it has been eight months since the series premiered and they would have had concept art and character designs available to them from even further back. It is not even about the Hasbro corporate executive not acknowledging the Brony fan base as MLP always has been and always will be first and foremost for little girls. The problem is that they simply don’t care. <br />They have no respect for the girls they are making the toys for, and they have no respect for the show that would draw those girls into buying those toys. They spent millions of dollars on a television show to promote a toy line that they have absolutely no respect for. I don’t know whether to be angry or just sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-26045140543858486652011-06-15T11:43:53.612-06:002011-06-15T11:43:53.612-06:00@Anonymous

That being a lack of respect for what was being produced because it was being made for little girls. There is a lack of respect shown in these figures.<br />I admit that the Gala Dresses are a little complex and may be hard to mass produce with 100% accuracy, but there is no way you could convince me that these are the best effort Hasbro could have put forth.<br /> <br />Sigh.

This means that in order to satisfy the fan base (not even talking the bronies here, even the little kids are thinking this) the toys need to be accurate to the G4 style, not half-assed G3.5 interpretations of the G4 characters.<br /><br />Inaccuracies:<br />1. Rainbow Dash looks like a girl. <br />2. Fluttershy wore green to the Gala, not pink. Twilight wore indigo, Rainbow wore...well...rainbow.
