The Comic Con ponies have been one of my favorite sets of the third generation so I was totally excited to see what they had cooked up this year.
Here is the 2010 Comic Con exclusive pony that only attendees of the San Diego Comic Convention will be able to buy (at least, until they start showing up on eBay):
My first reaction? I totally dig her.
My second reaction? I’m kinda bummed them moved away from the superhero theme but it’s OK, she’s still hella cool. I know white and purple has been done before but I love the overall effect.
But what you do think? Will you be trying to grab one on eBay after the fact?

What fresh hell is this?
Run little one dimensional duck with the Anime eyes! Look at the ancient symbols on Druid Pony’s hooded cape! She clearly intends to use you as a sacrifice in her ancient pagan ritual! She is already half demon herself, notice how you can’t quite count how many legs she has? OMG, little ducky, get the heck out of there while there is still time!

Hasbro sent out a Press Release yesterday. You can read the entire thing here but I just want to chop out the bits about My Little Pony below:
