Neon Lights was inevitable. He has animations. Though still an underrated character.
 
Royal Pin though? LOL

I take it that this is the end of the “Rising Star” and “Pinprick” names, I’m quite happy actually, even though it’s “Royal Pin” rather than “Pokey Pierce”, and that we can put an end to the former’s conflict.
 
The “Cloud Chaser” tag being aliased to “cloudchaser” only creates more problems, though, but nothing major. Also happy that Helia’s name was adopted officially.
 
These’ll be the first blindbags I’ll buy in a while, if I’m actually able to track some down.

@Beau Skunky  
Sure she did, AB was released at the same time as her sister. :p

“Royal Pin”, eh? I assume we all get the joke. And what’s interesting about it is that he’s more than once been depicted as a jerkwad in the fandom.
 
Sunset, Fluttershy, Flash, Neon Lights, and even a surprisingly unique Cheese Sandwich mold. That’s a good wave right there.

Huh, I didn’t know that, but Scoots & Sweetie did get Build-a-bear plushes, and Applebloom didn’t.

@Background Pony #4CE0
 
Really? wow, they’re awful.

@cheezedoodle  
Those are from the “busy book” licensed product.

Heh. Checked taobao and found some hilariously bad KO CMC minis:
 
Taobao #1
 
Taobao #2

Oh ho, we meet again Flash Sentry. Seems Hasbro’s not been quick to bury you - I wonder what that could mean…

I miss brushables of non-mane 6 characters. If only all these above could be brushables, it’d be amazing.

Hopefully soon we’ll see some pics of the 3-piece sets for the coming year. I’m willing to bet they’ll finally give scoots and belle a model, along with a rarity or rainbow dash.

@cheezedoodle  
We should do something about the lack of Scootaloo & Sweetie Belle miniatures!
 
Let’s all yell at Hasbro until they make them!  
It worked for Fluttershy, right?

@Beau Skunky  
One of the blindbag-style sets (“Class of Cutie Marks” does have an Apple Bloom figure, along with Applejack and Diamond Dazzle Tiara.

@Beau Skunky
 
At least AB has a blindbag and is still pretty easy to get cheaply.  

@Beau Skunky  
AB has been released. The other two haven’t.

@cheezedoodle  
What about Applebloom? Poor girl gets ignored almost as much as her big sister.

@Beau Skunky
 
Yeah they’ve used Spitfire’s blind bag model for Soarin’ already, so re-using Vinyl isn’t much of a surprise. What would Cheese Sandwich be at risk for legally?
 
PS: Let me once again vent about lack of Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, as others have mentioned. SRSLY HASBRO?

I like how Neon Lights is a DJ PON3 recolor. Also, surprised they could use Cheese Sandwich without fear of “likeness/legal” issues.

@Background Pony #A8D6
 
She’s in the bowling alley with Allie Way and the Big Lebowski ponies, and also appears in S4 in Flim & Flam’s tonic tent with a parasprite infestation.

@cheezedoodle  
I actually never heard of Big Wig? Who is that?

Nice! Fanon names for Big Wig and Neon Lights adopted officially. Toys for Pinprick, Suri, and Helia.
 
Also: Thus begins the Flash Sentry merch. DUN DUN DUUUNNNNNN
 
Wonder if future merch will use the Stormwalker name for Flitter’s sister/gal pal, if they’re going with Cloudchaser for headband dude.

@Robomorons  
Maybe “Royal Pin” & “Pinprick” are both short for “Royal Pinprick”.

@Robomorons  
Uh-huh.

@Joshua  
Prck?

They made his name Neon Lights? NICE.
 
Too bad Soarin’s not there still. WTF?
