My mom saw this post and said "You weren't supposed to find out yet. :s" She was gonna take me to make a Rainbow Dash as a surprise once she has money to spend on it. lol Problem is, I dunno which one I want more, and I'll likely only get to have one.

I hope I don't pop any bubbles, but I heard that they aren't doing the "Build a Pony" any longer due to the fact that "It's not good for business if a bunch of grown-men are coming in here and building ponies."

Sounds like hogwish. Since when is attracting new customers ever 'bad for business'?

Besides, I ordered one over the internet already. 30 dollars well spent.

They're attracting little girls, not 40-year-old men. Hasbro might not be bothered by this, but Build a Bear is.

Build-a-bear has always had adult customers, teddy bears are traditional romantic gifts between couples.

I've never heard of any half-sane business discontinuing a highly popular and money making product just because it his a different audience than intended.

Moreover, while the internet may make it seem different, bronies are only a small minority of My Little Pony fans. Hasbro has said that the vast majority of fans ARE the target audience.

Not a problem. ^-^ It was only a misunderstanding.

Besides, they plan on having ALL the mane six (bringing them in in twos) so they wouldn't stop.. that'd be such a huge job and would cost them a lot of money.

Now I just need to wait for Fluttershy. About time I finally have a properly on-model Fluttershy plush to make out with snuggle to sleep.

I think I might make Pinkie Pie first.
Then Rainbow Dash.

I wonder if they'll bring out any background characters. O:

This thread is so full of win!

Pinkie and RD, my 1st two favorites!  All we need now is Fluttershy and Derpy, the latter of whom has really grown on me lately  :P

Come on credit card bill, come out so I can pay you off and here we go!!!

Post by: ComputerDeathglare on 2013 Apr 10, 03:04:18
I got Pinkie today! She smells like yummy cupcakes! :D They're amazing quality for being $24. The brushie mane really grew on me. There's an oopsie on Pinkie's cutie mark, where the string on the yellow balloon is yellow, not blue, but she's so cute you don't notice. >.<

The closest to me is 1 1/2 hours away....there isn't even one in Toronto...
Wow, I thought BaB was bigger then that...

Which is why i'm getting mine online...eventually
I don't see an option for online purchases....must be an American thing  :c

BTW-couldn't help but notice once again RD's eyes are wrong....what does hasbro have against dash's eyes?

Her eyes in the show just aren't girly enough, I guess. :/ Her eyelashes are straight, while everypony else has curly girly eyelashes.

I know how you feel Itty... The worst part is I can't find pony merchandise (Apart from the pink Celestia and baby Spike...) on Argentina either so... Neither where I live or where I'll live have ponies. X3

Definately a lot better than spending 100+ dollars for a custom plush from an independent maker.

My only complaints are that her tail is kind of short, and her cutie mark is only one one side, not both.

Once a grown man sleeps with a stuffed pony wrapped in his arms, there's no turning back.

Agreed. Especially when it smells like cotton candy (I bought mine with that scent in it). *Huggles Pinkie, smells cotton candy next morning*

"Why do I smell- wait, I remember..." -- Me every morning since buying B-A-B Pinkie.
