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?
While the 1980s had those plastic mask costumes (which I weirdly cannot find a picture of anywhere, what’s the deal with that internet?), Hasbro has yet to come out with an official My Little Pony costume for the generation of ponies currently in stores.
However, that would never stop pony fans of all ages from dressing up as an MLP for Halloween! Some intrepid and crafty people have created costumes themselves and are selling them only. I’ve complied a small gallery below of some I liked.
While the ones on eBay are trying to be more like official My Little Pony figures, if you don’t mind modifying what you buy a bit, there are a wide variety of Unicorn costumes for children and adults alike. Just sew a symbol or cutie mark on and suddenly you have your very own My Little Pony costume.
Don’t have time or the cash to buy a costume? Make your own My Little Pony costume! Here are three homemade My Little Pony costumes to give you inspiration.
Hasbro decided to take My Little Pony in something of a different direction this year with bigger heads and smaller bodies. While this new style makes My Little Pony look more like the Littlest Pet Shop line of toys, they don’t have much in common with the ponies of last year.
Toys R Us just announced via Twitter that they are starting to stock these new MLP items so I wanted to take a look at the first ones to hit stores and find out what you think of them.
Let’s take a look at four of these new ponies in this new pose and style:
As a fan of the vintage MLP, I prefer that when the new ponies look as much like the old ponies as possible so I cannot get 100% behind this new look. That said, I have to admit that some of the pigtail ponies are a little bit cute.
So while I don’t love this change, I could get behind it, I suppose assuming they still make ponies in the traditional style.
