Yeah, you can just say Skylanders. All playable toy games are technically apeing Skylanders. X3

Probably over a year. Including time it gets approved, and licensed. So the second wave would probably come at least half a year later, depending on how successful these are.
 
After all, the SSB amiibos weren’t all released at once.

@Evil Emperor Proteus  
I am totally okay with this. :D Do you know how long it takes to design and develop these mini figures, by the way? I’m curious.

We will probably get the other characters in themed waves. Next will probably be antagonists like The Dazzlings and Trixie alongside the most popular background characters like like Vinyl Scratch, Octavia and Derpy. The Shadowbolts and Sci-Twi will be released alongside each other, and we’ll probably get more background characters released in the same wave as each other as well.

@Background Pony #631F  
Probably not what?

@thps48  
Probably not. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised to see at least a few waves of these, though with some ‘redressed’ mane 6 mixed in too.

I’m serious, why do most of you not know what waves are? XD

Her chomping a giant apple would have been cuter. :(

@Evil Emperor Proteus  
That’s heart shaped balloon! Applejack wishes it were an apple. ;)

Did anybody else notice Applejack chomping a gigantic apple on the box there?

@Mrmildock  
Three, actually. :P

@Evil Emperor Proteus  
That makes two of us.

Unlike the dolls, these ones actually look pretty cute. Eagerly awaiting Trixie and Adagio Dazzle.

@Princess♠Molestia  
Hell yeah. Buying these ASAP. Well at least one.

Wait. Official merch. That doesn’t look creepy or wrong!?
 
I’ll take 20!!!

Good job, they actually made them look like the characters and not some sort of.. aliens.

I just want Twilight!

@EddersCPFC
 
All I know is that these things will come out to stores……………right?

@Background Pony #9CE9  
Entertainment Earth does have them listed for December 2015, but when exactly I don’t know.
 
I do wonder when (if) these are coming to the UK and who will sell them. Probably Argos since they love EQG.

@Background Pony #9CE9  
They’re listed on Amazon already, but they’re not available for purchase.

When will these be released?
 
I know that they’ll be in Toys R Us,Target,Walmart,Kmart,and ect, but what is the date for these amazing toys?
 
I am really want Twilight!

These are slightly less terrifying than usual.

These look awesome!

@Beau Skunky  
Dude, this is just Wave 1.  
Just wait for the next wave.

These are cute. I’d buy these!
