Dangit, Dashie looks so much better with a tail even as a toy; why can’t they get them full time :(?

Exactly!! I demand real tails on my ponied-up human pone girls Hasbro!! Hair extensions a tail does not make.

Rainbow Dash’s skirt always reminds me of that soccer match in the first movie. You wouldn’t think to let Twilight get a change of clothes there, RD, because as we saw, letting Twilight high kick that ball in her skirt then pass out splayed legged surely has no ramifications in case someone had been walking past the field. :3

This differs from show to show. Trying to introduce a bunch of new characters or make toys of non-mane characters can backfire horribly too when Fans are very Invested in the mane characters: Look at how Friendship games toy sales did poorly because no one gave a crap about the shadowbolts or how Transformers the movie did poorly in toy sales because they tried to bring in a bunch of new characters to make toys of instead of the characters everyone liked.
 
Same here: people are SUPER invested in the mane six, so the Mane six variants are still selling really well.  
Give it a bit, they’re moving on to other characters like sunset and Flash sentry and Vinyl scratch, they’ll get the sirens, derpy and other characters next.

it depends  
  1. While collectors can differentiate who is who, most toys are aimed at children and they’ll be more familiar with the/or prefer the main characters so they’re almost guaranteed to be in each assortment.  
  2. merchandise driven shows have a definite shelf life according to a teenage mutant ninja turtles documentary I saw. If the property is a hit, they have a limited time frame to capitalize on the success before interest dies out eventually (IIRC the average is 3 years until disinterest sets in). merge #1 here.

Her hair is still blue. And why are they releasing so many versions of the Mane 6 instead of releasing the other characters? the 2000 He-Man(and other shows like it) died because of this kind of marketing.

actually does make you wonder; the only reason I’ve heard for why they wouldn’t want to give the girls tails in equestria girls is because they couldn’t put them on the toys without making them look like butt plugs: but they’ve got a tail on this toy without it looking bad.
