Indigo: Whatever, loser.
DH: How rude.
I’m actually really proud of this one. I think it turned out great.
Admittedly, I don’t think Shadowbolts minis would sell too good, but I still want them.
Next is Lemon Zest!

Maybe if there was no studio interference during the production of Friendship Games, and if the Shadowbolts got better treatment as characters, then their toys would have sold better, and we would have gotten minis of them.
There was a 17% drop in the Girls division overall, with EG offsetting gains made by MLP. Most stores (that I recall), dropped the FG line after the first wave, and most of it never appeared in physical stores.
On top of that, concept art was made for the Shadowbolts to appear in Legend of Everfree, but were scrapped in favor of characters like Lyra and Bon Bon.
They did? You wouldn’t happen to have the sales figures, would you?
I’m not calling you out. I’m genuinly curious on how Hasbro’s sales went.
But alternatively I’ll say that the EG Minis line was created after Friendship Games premiered. And with Hasbro focusing on toys with a “Storyline Association” (That is, a movie or tv show to springboard from), it’s hardly surprising that they release minis according to the new EG media they put out.
Still, the Mall releases was a fanservicy-type collection with only 4 sets connected to the media (unless I’m really down on my EG lore). But that’s the only one so far. Hopefully we’ll get another “legacy” type series someday with the missing minis.
After the Friendship Games line tanked, it’s no surprise Hasbro doesn’t acknowledge the Shadowbolts anymore.
