Hot Topic steps up to help us get better pony toys

[Chishio Kunrin]

I have Hot Topic liked on Facebook, and they recently posted a picture of a couple of pony toys.

They captioned it this:
"We heard you wanted better Pony toys so we told Hasbro to make them 20% Cooler. See the original Brony call to action here: http://bit.ly/QhW9Jw

Now we have them online here: http://bit.ly/RD1VEZ and in stores just for YOU."

That first link leads to an Equestria Daily post about trying to get Hot Topic to help. Hot Topic has actually answered us and is starting to sell the pony toys! The only thing is, a toy is $14.50. Sure, it's better quality, and (judging by the photo they posted) they're going to have Derpy sometime (Derpy keeps being sold out fast ), but that's kind of typical of Hot Topic to have expensive merch.

But hey, it's another step toward showing Hasbro even more that the bronies are a good demographic to aim for in the toy department.
That, and I want a Derpy toy. The only other official one is limited edition. The only thing I don't like is the blue in Rainbow Dash's bangs, but if they start selling Pinkies with the correct mane and Fluttershy's who have their own mold instead of recolored Rainbow Dash, I'll be less nitpicky.

They do already have quite a selection of MLP stuff, though, especially in shirts.

If you go to the page about the Rainbow Dash toy and click the bottom preview button to view her from the left side, she does look a lot like Dashie from the show.

I Must admit, i am rather impressed! Am now more than ever very interested in buying hasbro pony merchandise! Quite excited to see what is to come from this... perhaps one day hasbro will also make awesome MLP Plushies! =3

Until now, I was only interested in the MLP shirts that Hot Topic had. I didn't have any interest in buying any of the toys except the limited edition Derpy Hooves. But now, I may try to get some of the toys that Hot Topic manages to conjure up. Starting with that Rainbow Dash! I hope they have more to choose from by Christmas.

and now... I make a strategy...

Now I just have to wait until the second economic globalisation of the states of America reaches Europe
and a Hot Topic will open in Belgium.

Well, Hot Topic has an online store, but I'm not sure whether or not they'd ship to Belgium.

Sorry but I'm not really into shipping ponies...

Problems with them....


1) Colors are wrong on Rainbow Dash mane and Derpy's eyes.
2) Only one cutiemark.

Bummed about not getting a Derpy. But who knows? My work load is going back up. I might be able to get dashie come xmas time.

Rainbow Dash looks more like she does in the show from the left, but her eyes are the wrong color. Though, she looks better than the blindbag, to me, and this Derpy Hooves is not limited edition. So I'm pretty happy with it. If they make a Fluttershy with her own mold, I'll be even happier.

I've actually been wanting to go see Hot Topic one of these days, I saw some merchandise reviews on youtube. I wonder if they have a Sweet Apple Acres T-shirt. 

I would also like to see some of the other stuff they have, my friend told me about the different things they sell.

Yeah, yeah, they're not perfect, but this Dashie is better than the blindbag. Even the blindbag has wrong coloring in her bangs (green). I wonder if Hot Topic would take feedback.

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised it took them this long to start catching onto this. I held little interest in the official ones since they were cheaply produced with little thought to how accurate they actually were and some looked so off I wouldn't have even guessed who they were without the label. I'll still wait to let them work out the kinks in the designs, but if they actually start producing show-accurate designs rather than made to sell quality ones they've been making I might actually consider getting a couple.

I'm not really into toys. Plushies, yes (I want an Applejack plushie!), toys, no.

Though I must say those look amazing compared to the other toys I see on EqD.

I don't think it will be long before they release show accurate toys.

Is 14$ Really expensive? Seems so cheap to me (Different currency). A toy like that would cost about 300 Bs' (A LOT more than 14$), if not more depending on the size.

Man, everything but gas is overpriced here. Videogames here sell at around... 120-200 Dollars, yet gas is literally less than a dollar for a full tank.

Tell me about it. I just spent 170$ on Earthbound for SNES.

You're from Venezuela too?! 

[Chishio Kunrin]

I believe it said she's 5 1/2 inches. And seriously, trust me, Dashie looks better from the left than that right-side view they showed. You can look when you view her on the site.

I actually might buy the toys. I wasn't even interested in buying any of the toys before. If they make more, I'll be quite likely to buy them.

No. I'm from Kentucky. Sorry to burst your bubble.
