My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (Live Reactions & Discussion)

Go To

A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

     Original OP text 
I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

I'm terrible at Apples to Apples, so I kind of got turned off of the whole thing.

Product life cycle like that is actually quite long (in the order of several months to a few years, depending on complexity), so it's entirely possible that there's something that's been in the works. I mean, Manticore, Steve and Nightmare Moon are all from the second episode of season 1. And those likely weren't even considered until season 2 was about to air.

Villain toys sell poorly? How come?

I'm guessing parents don't want to buy them for their little girls?

The conventional wisdom is that the girls themselves wouldn't want them. "Girls don't like conflict" logic still kinda applies, so, why would the girls want to play with the bad guys?

Or so I presume, at least.

If by "conventional wisdom" you mean "statements more removed from reality than Hasbro executives themselves", then I agree.

Well, conventional wisdom is rarely accurate. That' why it's called conventional wisdom rather than just wisdom.

Discord's wisdom is never conventional. Or particularly wise.

Funco. The guys making the vinyl ponies, has already said that they want to make a Discord one. The only issue is that because he'd be bigger then the current models they are selling, he'd end up being more expensive and they aren't sure if he'd sell well enough at the higher price point.

Supposedly at some point in the future they will be making Princess Luna and Celestia figures which will also be bigger, and at the same price point Discord would be. And weather they go ahead with him would depend on how well those sell.

Keg: That's not entirely it. It's that toys are sold through self-identification and people are inherently going to identify less with the villains. I have a friend who heavily monitored the toy market and it's a toy thing in general (except apparently with Star Wars and Tranformers, for whatever reason). He says it's especially true for stuff based off of comics. To quote him: "Everyone wants a Batman. Maybe the Joker. But many other villains rarely ever sell as well."

Yeah, I wouldn't do that. It was just too well done to mess with. Heck, you just put her down yourself home rather hard.Rabid Toroko is even one of only bosses in the game that doesn't play the victory fanfare when you defeat it, and the victory text ends with an ellipses rather than an exclamation point, driving the fact that When a game subverts its own gameplay conventions to make you feel bad, you know you're in for one hell of a Player Punch.

Well, I'm up, but unable to add to the discussions, so consider this a thread bounce for me.

Didn't help I also just got done with homework myself for today, and will have real life hassle me too.
