Why Derpy?

[Stardust Dragon]

Derpy was really "Where's Waldo" in the Finale.

Hasbro, you tease...

They were polite enough to smack a nice "hey look who's back" near the end, putting her by her lonesome, even for a second.  I saw mention of "Celebrating Derpy" on EQD's page and assumed as much, but that last one was the only Derpy I picked up on my own.  And boy was I glad about it!

Every one of those is legit merchandise. Yeah I don't think Hasbro hates Derpy as much as we think they do.

She has come a long way from an animation error.

They like her as a money maker, but they don't like her as a potential basis to be sued for or whatever.

Hasbro just wants to play it safe. She's not gone though! I'm curious if they'll give her a name in this year's fan favorite collection from TRU.

Most likely Bubbles or something similar. Can't remember where, but I saw a piece of official merch that called her Bubbles once.
