So Hasbro finally revealed this years SDCC exclusive figure, a two set of Discord and Fluttershy. Thoughts and opinions?
Otherwise I guess SDCC speculation or merch thread.
>they aren't even implying it anymore
Dislestia fags on suicide watch
>>27767074
BEST FRIENDS
Much better than last years bucket of Kentucky Fried Ponk.
>>27767107
Unless Stepanda an hero, Dislestia fags will continue.
They're at fluttermac levels of delusion, though
>>27767169
What the fuck is a Stepanda?
It looks good, think I'll get it.
This is a really good exclusive. Better than last year for sure.
>>27767722
Yeah the Ponk isn't very good since you can't even see the figure when displayed.
>>27767792
Pretty sure that's a Guardians of Harmony Fluttershy in there too. Hopefully we'll see more of that at SDCC.
>>27767823
Yeah it's one of the new articulated ones. Also hoping for more of them as well as some good info from the panel. Just not looking forward to how early I have to get up.
>>27767841
I think they'll announce a bit related to it, so I guess wave 2 of it with AJ, FS, and Rarity.
>>27767870
Yeah the Hasbro booth always has prototypes of the coming seasons of toys. Man hype is at maximum, only a few weeks away.
>>27767074
>they teased it in comics and tv series
>they even made entire toy set with them
>people sill still deny this ship
>>27767254
Same as Ilovekimpossible level of dislestia autist, but actually making content like Discord comic where he rapes Celestia.
>>27767947
What the fuck is an ilovekimpossible?
>>27767823
That would mean Discord and Fluttershy will play a part in Guardian of Harmony and probably the 2017 movie.
>>27767951
Famous brony "reviewer" who mostly make shitty vidoes with animation that somoene other then her is doing.
>>27768044
Yeah, I guess.
>>27767074
>mfw the ship is real
You think they'll show theconvention episodeanimatic?
>>27767074
Can I buy just Discord? Without worst pone?
Forbes has the exclusive on Hasbro’s next San Diego Comic-Con exclusive, which is sure to please bronies. Hasbro will be offering up a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Discord and Fluttershy toy, featuring the show’s strangest villain-turned-companion. Fans can act out their favorite scenes with a Fluttershy figure which features nine points of articulation and a Discord figure. The two-pack is showcased within a colorful collector package that features detailed design elements, including stained glass window inspired art and a light-up base. Requires three “AA” 1.5 volt alkaline batteries, and demo batteries are included. The MY LITTLE PONY DISCORD & FLUTTERSHY figure set will be for sale at San Diego Comic-Con 2016. It will retail for $49.99
>>27767117
>"companion"
I guess he was companionzoned?
>>27767117
There not friends! And no one is going to buy that!
>>27767940
Discord will kidnap Twilight Sparkle or Fluttershy and turn her to the dark side with chaos in the S6 finale.
>>27768044
John de Lancie tweeted that Discord won't be in the movie. Only the mane six and Spike in the big screen.
>>27768173
>worst pone
BOOOOOOI YOU BETTER
>>27767074
I'd love to see the "stained glass" artwork in the background.
>>27768173
It's the same as the Guardians of Harmony Discord, so yes.
>>27768421
We've only seen the prototype of that and not in stores. It's possible that they changed their mind and it's only being sold this way. If they are going to sell it standalone then I'm going to be pissed.
>>27768437
There was that Philippine leak. They're making them and they're $20.
>>27768462
If the only difference is the base and packaging then that's the shittiest thing ever.
>>27768475
Fancy box and Fluttershy, yep.
>>27768497
Well that'll save me 8 hours of my life. I'll just check them at the end of the day to see if they're doing open sales on them.
>>27768503
Still better than last year.No EqG exclusive? Huh.
>>27768514
Maybe they'll announce it later. I assume there will be one since they aren't dropping the series yet.
>>27768517
I assumed they were given how poorly the dolls themselves sell. Maybe there will be a Mini exclusive instead.
>>27768531
I would be stoked for an exclusive mini, those ar actually cute.
>>27767074
How long before we see scalpers...?
>>27768614
Wednesday July 19th.
>>27767130
The bucket looks cool tho. I would get one, but they're so pricey and not that worth it...
>>27768623
If we're lucky, they will be swarming in Ebay for $200 by next week!
>>27768653
I'd be careful about speculating on them. The year before the DJ-PON3 figures were available at retail price on the Hasbro site for months after and they still only resale for about retail.
>>27768297
Are you a moron? He never tweeted that you idiot, stop making things up
>>27768844
Big Jim Miller said there's no shipping between Fluttershy and Discord and they will kill off Discord in the finale.
>>27768844
I'M NOT! He tweeted before its deleted.
>>27767074
DO WANT
>>27767074
Discord is fine but why is the pony so damn deformed and ugly? Muh quality..
>>27768934
Because of all the joints that make her fully moveable, allowing you to put her into any sex position you desire as you cuck yourself with the Discord figure you dumb son of a bitch
>>27768857
This, Jim is the actual boss of this show right now. Fluttercord is dead as fuck
>>27768857
>>27769092
Not sure if morons or bait, but the toyline and comic covers that compare Discord and FS to romantic couples seems to point out the opposite of whatever you took out of context from Jim's tweets.
>>27768857
>>27769092
>Biggest beta of the show that fuck up everything
Sure, he is the boss
>>27769090
>tfw Hasbro matched them together in a set so the little girls could do pic related with them
>>27769092
Jim doesn't decide on anything. He pretty much follows everyones ideas, no matter if it's Haber, McCarthy or Vogel. He will damage control their every choice. And even if he hates shippingm he will go with discoshy getting canon is any writer will write an episodes about it.
And it isn't even clear if he doesn't ship them. He said that Discord is his favourite character and he was also the guy who aded a bedstand photo scene in Twilight Kingdom.
>>27769133
Feels good man.
Well, for Fluttershy at least.
Flutterfags on suicide watch.
Pone is all about butts and hooves. Amrite?
>>27769117
Discord is evil and he's planning to kidnap Fluttershy and turn her to the dark side in the S6 finale.
>>27769183
Worst shipping ever!
>>27767130
That Derpy box comes with Derpy's name?
>>27769524
No, there is no name on it.
>>27769528
Thanks!
Needs more pics of toys with Derpy's name.
>>27769553
I have that flash drive, also was a SDCC exclusive.
So it's a repaint off the Guardians of Harmony figure.
Fuck.
>>27769828
Hey, at least we know there's a GoH Fluttershy too.
>>27767130
They... They actually trademarked "Sci-Twi"? I don't know how to feel about that.
>>27770530
Why not?
>>27770537
It just felt like one of those cutesy off-the-cuff fan nicknames, like Ponka. But then again, they used "Ponka" on a trading card, so...
>>27768052
I found it funny it was one of those rare moments that /mlp/ got mad someone was attacking spike
>>27770555
Well so was Derpy.
>>27770707
Derpy didn't have an official name, just one Lauren was keeping in her back pocket. That's a little different.
>>27770718
Steven Magnet is another completely fan created name that became canon.
>>27770759
Yes, I know. As was Octavia, and Vinyl Scratch/DJ PON-3, and Bon Bon, and Doctor Hooves, and countless others. I said nickname.
It would be like if they trademarked "Purplesmart" or something.
>>27770840
Was DJ PON-3 a fan name?
the first I ever heard it was in the Equestria Girls hub extended promo
>>27770885
Yeah it was a fan made name. First Hasbro just trademarked Vinyl Scratch but then also did DJ-PON3.
>>27767074
>Hasbro give full support to this ship
>they will force fluttercord episodes in the future seasons so their toys become more legitimate in the fandom
>it will lead to them getting shipped permanently and their offspring used as the new main characters for the G5
>>27770919
They're just friends. The description even says so.
>>27770919
Literally everything will be better than current mane6 cast having entire seasons doing nothing since all of them aalready fulfilled their destinies and the show is trying hard to make FiM relevant by introducing new "mane7th" character, Starlight Glimmer.
>>27770885
It was, yeah. DJ PON-3 and Vinyl Scratch were the winning votes in a fan poll on EqD, which predated the Equestria Girls promo. It's fitting that the name premiered officially in that promo, too, since it was a pretty big shout-out to "bronies" in general.
>>27770940
Even FlashLight description said they were friends. They obviously can't call them lovers if they aren't officialy that close in the canon. And their actual descritpion refered to Discord as Fluttershy's "companion". That can mean anything and doeasn't tell us anything about their relationship.
Also the set was made for kids to stick them together and pretend that they are kissing. Hasbro is slowly adjusting the audience to their close relationships. Soon, only waifufags and shipper antis will remain to oppose that ship. Which mean, around 10% of the fandom.
>>27770986
>Also the set was made for kids to stick them together and pretend that they are kissing.
The set was made for adult collectors, that's why it's only being sold at SDCC.
>>27767074
That box is really fucking nice. Absolutely gorgeous. This thing should never be opened because it's miles better that way just because of the box.
>>27771003
The SDCC ones are the only ones I leave in the box.
>>27770991
They will probably sell it the normal way after S6 end.
>>27771047
They haven't for any of the previous con exclusives.
>>27771053
They sell exclusives online.
>>27771204
For a short period after SDCC, not permanently.
Well these look stupid.
>>27771750
Your face looks stupid.
I'm more irritated that Fluttershy's GoH is coming out this early.
If you don't reveal Rarity's GoH figure at SDCC I swear to god Hasbro, I'm going tojust be incredibly sad.
>>27768297
>No starlight Shitter
THERE IS A GOD!
>>27767074
EXCLUSIVE MY ASS
that's just a guardians of harmony discord and an explore equestria Fluttershy!
>>27767823
I don't think that's her guardians of harmony toy, rather its just her Explore equestria toy;
They made explore equestria toys fully articulated action figures already.
>>27772675
She has molded hair, not brushable.
>>27772677
ah, good catch. NM then.
Still, without the Action/violence accessories that her GOH toy will no doubt come with its really only "half" a toy IMO, like getting the Guardians of harmony chrysalis without the swords and the armor.
(or at least I would assume they'd want to pack fluttershy with SOMETHING to make her action themed for her GOH toy)
>>27772686
It's still not very good. The Chrysalis SDCC figure was excellent since it was a unique cast and everything. Sadly they're going the Transformers route and just doing recolors of toys that are coming out later. Kind of kills my excitement a bit.
If they don't have a stellar magic set then I'm not even getting in their line.
>>27772792
Its decent, and Like I said, the accessories are kind of what's the point of these ones, like How Twilight has her Wing Tongs things. Without those wings to kill changelings with, the toy's just an angry looking twilight.
If you want "Good" looking toys you're going to be wanting the Fan edition toys, the statuettes anyways.
We'll hopefully get some nice Mane six statuttes next.
>>27772834
I don't even care if they are "good" looking, which this one is. When comes to exclusives I want uniqueness.
>>27772843
Okay, that's fair. I thought you were saying the GOH fluttershy was going to be bad is all.
This IS a pretty damned lazy "exclusive" since its just pre-existing toys being shipped together.
>>27772875
Slightly modified. They've done it for years with Transformers where the SDCC ones were just retail versions with different colored parts, like last years Devastator where the purple was shiny instead of matte. It's pure lazy and not worth it considering how much time and effort it takes to get.
Think I'll spend my time trying to gamble on Bandai instead for the Blade Blaster.
>>27772834
I like this without the clampy thing.
>>27773355
The clampy thing is the entire appeal. Why the fuck are they showing off GoH Fluttershy without accessories?
>>27774847
I don't care about battle hyper mode toyetic accessories. I like that she is articulate and has accurate hair.
>>27774876
And an angry face that looks weird without a weapon.
>>27772875
Shipped is the key word
>people still think of ship instead of full-on trickery
Keep buying it.
>>27775172
This set is just an experiment,
After every single set is sold out at and after SDCC, Hasbro will create more sets about them in the future.
They probably made it in the first place since Hasbro higher ups already seen how quickly WeLoveFine figurines sold out.
>>27775192
Because it fuels their imagination and their bank accounts.
As I said before, keep buying it. Doesn't prove much, except that there are those that are dumb enough to fall for it.
>>27775201
What if I don't care about this ship/waifufag autism and just like a cool exclusive?
>>27772675
>that mold
>explore Equestria
Are you blind? The color and joint articulation are just about the only things the same.
>>27772834
Twilight's wings is got to go, I like it without the wings.
>>27775166
NO, shipping between Fluttershy and Discord!
>>27775449
But its McCarthy's favourite pair.
>>27775192
Discord will turn Fluttershy to the dark side with chaos.
And Mike Vogel lied, and he's drunk.
>>27775451
Not gonna happen! Meghan McCarthy is nothing but an evil step-mother and acting like the leader of Nazis and the Nexus of WWE.
>>27767074
Stepanda on suicide watch already
>>27775471
Nice, anon!
>>27775471
¿Quien?
It's actually happening
>>27775507
Not happening, anon.
>>27775507
It's a setup for the new main protagonist of the future gen.
>>27775523
Nope, Flutterguy will be in love with Big Macintosh and Discord will be in love with Queen Chrysalis.
>>27775527
Is Fluttershy going to pretend that she's Marble Pie? Becasue otherwise i don't see how would that work. After 6 seasons, they had like one interaction in Filli Vanilli.
>>27775518
I'm not so sure anymore anon.
I'm scared. Help.
>>27775507
>>27775552
guys did you notice something
they gave Twilight WINGS in recent toys
you know what this means???
Twilight is finally becoming the new Celestia, holy shit, it's happening, like holy self-cleaning buttholes of holy horseshit and wowie gosh golly.When the characters were established as relying on one another from the get-go, and linked platonically in almost every appearance, having them stand next to each other means literally nothing new, you trembling autist. Do you blush and get nervous when you sit ten feet away from a girl at the bus stop because you think the universe is shipping you?
>>27775573
>Do you blush and get nervous when you sit ten feet away from a girl at the bus stop because you think the universe is shipping you?
Not only that, I start sweating too.
>>27775573
NO, IT WILL NOT! Twilight Sparkle will NOT become like Princess Celestia! Twilight Sparkle will resign as princess in the future!
What you read it's part of Hasbro's scandal.
Stepanda on suicide watch.
>>27775573
Well same thing may be said about Judy and Nick in Zootopia. But the fact thet the majority of fandom see them romantically, may just push Disney/Hasbro to canonise them both.
>>27767074
>>27772675
>Open-eyes Discord is an exclusive
SON OF A BITCH SDCC
>>27775696
Well he look much better with eyes open. He has beautifull red/yellow eyes.
>>27775699
Hasbro knows its collectors. After all, they have Transformers fans who would literally pay extra bucks for an extra weapon for an already expensive robot in SDCC.
>>27775690>You know you love me.
>Do I? Yes, yes I do.
I mean, you can interpret it platonically too, but at least with them, there's a case to be made.
