It has been a bit quiet lately, which seems a bit... odd given it's also the 40th birthday of the My Little Pony line this year, and aside from the Style of the Day brushables we haven't heard much from Hasbro lately, however we (finally) have some news for you!
Update: Now available on Amazon US!
And that price in the UK is currently £68.99, which is about $85 USD. Do note that this is currently only available for pre-order, and the expected release date is set on July 1st. So far the set has only appeared on Amazon UK, of which you can find the listing here.
Below we have some more images from the set, showing the front and back (look at Minty's hair!)

ReplyDeleteUrgh. What is with that weird face on TS? They seriously wasted brushables on more Bore Five, Mane Suxx and two of the most common G3 ponies instead of making new ponies? Unimpressed! Way to drop the ball Hasblo.
ReplyDeleteI mean it's a pack meant to pay tribute to past generations so of course they would use well known popular ponies. I'm more disappointed they didn't go further back to G2 or G1. Could have added Applejack and Sky Skimmer.
DeleteThat's what the repro lines are for. They need to let those 6 go. No other generation needed to do this.
DeleteTo be fair it is supposed to be a retro pack, but I do agree with you overall. This generation has been fairly non imaginative and lack luster with it’s toy line. Retro packs were fun initially, but now it seems like a half hearted move to try to get g4 fans interested again, rehashing basically.
DeleteHasbro like Disney has forgotten that what keeps an audience/customer engaged, is new product, new content.
It would be nice to see new ponies in the toy line, that’s what made previous generations so wonderful. Not the same old same old over and over.
Precisely
DeleteThey shouldve put misty there intead of minty in my opinion
ReplyDeleteThere was no Misty in G3 tho, after all this is an "all generations" pack.
DeleteMinty literally was never prominent in G4, what are you talking about
ReplyDeleteMinty with a peppermint symbol is a common G3. So what are you talking about?
DeleteStill waiting for Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack to appear as G5 brushables...
ReplyDeleteooooo id love a G5 applejack
DeleteYikes hope Twi comes as a single at some point, $85 is a lot for just wanting her
ReplyDeletefeel ya, I just wanna get minty and not the rest of them xC gonna have to wait to get these second hand
DeleteThe price is pretty cheap for 6 fashion style brushables tho, usually you pay 20USD for the single ones.
Deleteits not a fact of price but having 5 unwanted fashion styles laying about and taking space up ^^
DeleteHopefully not polypropylene. :/
ReplyDeleteI’m leaving the ponies for littles now on to gravity falls
ReplyDeleteoh my god i Need This. Pinkie and Minty are two of my top tier favs and giving both of them curly hair like me?? Im in love! Also Dashie's face sculpt is sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteFashion Styles usually have a nylon mane and polypropylene tail; as far as I know, Hasbro has yet to produce a G5 pony in Fashion Style size or larger with all polypropylene and a few, such as Singing Star Pipp, have all nylon. On top of that, Hasbro rarely bothers to style polypropylene, so I think it's safe to assume that the manes, at least, will be nylon. Rainbow Dash's bangs do appear to have product in them, though, so that's a negative in my book.
ReplyDeleteOh I see.
DeleteA proper G5 Minty, and she's all fluffy? Articulated Fashion Styles? And Rainbow Dash's adorable expression? Take my money yesterday! I just wanna bury my face in Minty's hair!
ReplyDeletekinda insane that it took them a whole gen to actully do accurate hair for the dolls like the g4 style ponies with this kind of hair would have been amazing
ReplyDeletei think they did something similar in G4 when the MLP movie came out. they did the mane 6 fashion styles with show accurate manes, i have all but fluttershy since i bought them second hand.
Deletei honestly forgot about those wish they did thedm with the normal g4 mold and in brushable style just like i wish for these ones
Deleteas i looked through the database, the only mane 6 ones that had show accurate manes were rainbow dash (as a shadowbolt) which was a toys r us exclusive, and twilight sparkle (in the reboot mold) which came with G1 twilight as a SDCC exclusive. i realized that there were alot of non mane 6 ponys that had show accurate manes like zecora, photo finish, songbird serenade, and temptist shadow just to name a few. im very suprised myself that they didnt do the accurate manes for the mane 6 in the regular (or reboot style) brushables. i think the closesd thing to what your looking for would have to be the molded mane ones which were released during rainbow roadtrip several times as singles and multipacks(i have twilight sparkle and rainbow dash). i hope this helps :D
Deleteoops forgot the power ponies as well since they also have show accurate manes (for regular brushables)
Deleteanother edit, it was school of friendship that the molded mane 6 ponies were released
Deletethey are so pretty ahh!!! i love that hasbro has been making toys of g4 characters <3
ReplyDeleteloving that minty is included :D gonna wait for a lower price or to find them at a thrift store thou, $85 is too much for me. i also like the styized manes in this set
ReplyDeleteG5: Sunny and Izzy
ReplyDeleteG4: Twilight and Rainbow
G3: Pinkie and Minty (the reason for this is because they are the stars of the most popular movie from that generation)
"Hasbro has yet to produce a G5 pony in Fashion Style size or larger with all polypropylene"
ReplyDeleteClearly you haven't bought polyprOpaline
I do like this pack, but I must confess that it is unfortunate that it's just a mix of G4 and G5 ponies with a single G3 thrown in there that also appeared in G4. (Technically, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie also appeared in previous generations but their designs were changed. These are clearly based on the G4 versions of the characters).
ReplyDeletePersonally, I would've preferred that they had one prominent pony from each generation in this pack, for example:
G1. Firefly, or Sundance. G1 didn't really have a strict main cast necessarily but they did have some notable ponies. Firefly was a prominent character in the Rescue at Midnight Castle pilot, the first ever animated media of My Little Pony, whereas Sundance appeared a few times in the toyline (as did Firefly, to a certain degree).
G2. Perhaps Ivy. G2 never got a show and G2 didn't really have a single pony that was more significant than the rest of the main ponies (My Little Pony Tales is not generally considered G2, that's a misconception), but Ivy is at the very least popular amongst adult fans, I cannot speak for children.
G3. Whilst Minty does have the disadvantage of also being a G4 pony that looks identical, I'd say that she works fine. She featured in a Very Minty Christmas and occured a lot in the toyline.
G4. Twilight Sparkle. Simply, she is the main main character.
G5. Sunny Starscout, for the same reason as Twilight Sparkle.
Perhaps, if there must be six ponies, another G5 could be thrown in as it is the current generation.
i feel like for G1 and G2 they couldve done a poll on twitter or something to see what fans wouldve wanted for the set.
DeleteI think its cute, but we dont really wanna see more Izzy's and Sunny's, more Twilight's, Pinkie's and Dashies, what we really wanna see is a pack with Zipp, Hitch, Misty, and finally Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy, I know that all of we collectors are waiting for Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy, but if there's something that i loved abt this pack, is Minty, I think Minty is so adorable, and I didnt liked Pinkie Pie, seriously, look at her face, mane, and skin color, it doesnt looks like Pinkie Pie
