Ooh I need to make a pony now! Now this may seem a bit off topic but has anyone here watched the original Rainbow Brite? I used to watch it all the time back in the 80s and I still watch some of it on YouTube. Back then it seemed to have a similar male cult following like MLP: FiM ( I like to think it is the new Rainbow Brite) but without Internet it didn't catch on as quickly. Plus it was anime which made it even more awesome. My cousin had the Rainbow Brite doll back when I was five or so and I remember begging her to hold it. And while we're on the topic of personality disorders, her trusty steed Starlight seemed like such a narcissist now that I go back and watch it.
Now back to MLP: FiM, does anyone have any of the toys or anything like that? I'd love to get at least a Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy or at least some stickers. I saw a few vids saying that for some reason or another, the Applejack toy lacks a hat and Celestia is always pink.
I never watched the show, but my sister used to own a Rainbow Brite doll. Which I would always steal from her when I was little.
Netflix has a Rainbow Brite movie on it's instant que. I've been procrastinating on watching it.
I've been to stores to see the toys that are currently being sold. They look nothing like the MLB: FiM style. They're basically just repainted G3 ponies circa 2000s. I'd buy them if they looked more like the current MLB: FiM style. (Rainbow Dash is at the top of my list of ponies to buy.)
McDonalds had MLP:FiM toys during January. Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, and Fluttershy toys look pretty accurate to the series:
Wish I knew about the promotion when they had them. I don't eat at McDonalds often enough to notice. IDK why the Princess Celestia toys are always painted pink when her coat appears white in the show.
