A lot of you guys wanted to see a part 2 to counting down inaccurate My Little Pony toys, so here goes nothing. Character stills by: www.deviantart.com/tiredhorse...
2:12 The reason why they included the gummy with purple eyes instead of the plush one is because they didn’t want to confuse the audience with why pinkie may have had a random alligator in her room so they had to make sure to specify it was actually gummy with the purple eyes :>
Strange the way Hasbro just ignored almost every new character from season 7 from there on, No Pillars, no Wallflower, no Vignette, no Kirin! I have a Pony Wallflower plush and a friend of mine has an Autumn Blaze plush, but of course these were custom (although awesome quality) pieces. Would be interesting to see something about characters ignored by Hasbro
Sadly, G4 had an issue with a general lack of variety in characters, especially later on. Comparing G4 with any generations preceeding it (barring G3.5, which only had the main cast) is quite interesting, as generations before had far, far more characters in the toyline. G4, however, tended to repeat the Mane 6 and popular secondary characters with not much else. Although I am personally not the biggest fan of the G4 brushables for a few reasons, I'd love it if we did get those characters, for more variety and because there are people who do very much like these characters. However, I can only speak for adults and teenagers, not smaller children which is at the end of the day their target demographic.
I always found it funny that Hasbro gave Twilight Sparkle purple hair with pink streaks instead of giving her dark blue hair with pink streaks like it is on the show.
I remember something that was strange in MLP brushable figures, too. They always made Rainbow Dash's mane red, orange, yellow, and green, and her tail blue and purple. Like they never made her hair show accurate. Even though I do remember a brushable figure of her where her mane was red, orange, and yellow, and her tail was purple.
@@YoungABBALover2046 it's mainly due to practicality in production. Rooting doll hair is done by hand and is time consuming as hell. Having to put 6 different colors on a head and into the tail would take too much time
There are two other alicorns made. Princess Gold Lily was one of them. Sterling was the other. A lot of the time, they were making up toys to fill in blanks between shows, some were abandoned ideas, but Hasbro has always had a certain % of toys that didn't appear in the shows. Part of the reason for this has been argued is that it gave a blank slate for kids to invent their own stories behind those characters.
@@AngelEmfrbl I will tell you that MLP G5 Tell Your Tale Season 2 will feature the Alicorn Kingdom Skyros later down the line. Maybe Hasbro would think about making Princess Skyla Canon in G5 in Skyros. Or maybe Princess Gold Lily and Princess Sterling. But I doubt that. Because the G5 Writers probably have no idea that these 3 Alicorn Toys Existed. Or maybe some of the Writers have heard of Princess Skyla because of the Flurry Heart Situation before. I would think some Fans would be surprised if Hasbro Made Skyla Canon in G5 in Skyros. But I still doubt that it would happen.
Regarding the pink Celestia toys, they're all from early on in the show's life. They made her pink to sell better to little girls. Whenever Cadence first appeared most of the new Celestia toys switched to white since they had an actual pink alicorn.
I thought it was like some kind of malfunction considering Celestia is a very very very pale pink and they were trying to go for that but it didn't translate well?
Like Princess Skyla, Hasbro released two other strange non-canonical alicorn dolls, being Princess Gold Lily and Princess Sterling, idk if they were ever intended to be used in the series but I think they were made just for toy sales. Also just to add some more ideas, the pony figures that came in MLP magazines were always a bit derpy and off-model, the Interactive My Magical Princess Twilight Sparkle toy made for the movie is horrifying and the mlp water bottle thermoses are just odd, esp the twilight one
I feel like the whole Skylar thing is just an example of some sort of forward planning, thomas the tank engine planned a whole location called black loch in season 3 but didnt use it until like season 8 or 9.
for sure agree with the theory in the video. I remember seeing the toy in stores and being confused lol. or Candance being pregnant plot couldve been pitched for Season 4 but got back burnered by Twilight becoming an alicorn and Skyla was released early after the earliest pitch was trashed
Yeah, tbh that theory is not crazy at all! It makes so much sense, Skyla being a beta version for Flurry too. I mean, she looks SO MUCH like Cadance, many of us throught she was the baby the princess was going to have
Something that Skyla reminded me of was the twin packs of Princess Gold Lily and Princess Sterling with Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy respectively. They were recolours of the Celestia mold with Sterling having Luna's eyes. They are genuine toys as I have gold lily myself but I have no clue where on earth they would have fit into the canon as their descriptions only had a basis on personality rather than background. For all I know they were just two random alicorns made to sell more toys than having a purpose in the show! Also really loving this little series so far! It's really fun to see how much Hasbro is willing to do to save/make money! Keep up the good work! 💖
I have a feeling Princess gold lily and sterling were concept ponies of celestia and luna and how they did with spike they made them into toys, cause apparently they do that a lot! (also skyla)
Reminds me as an old pony collector when I was little that I had some rare playsets including queen chrysalis which just had drawn-on holes as a recolored Celestia and that I had some other Celestia toys in G4 (not g4.5) that were white. Apparently Celestia was made pink before Cadence was a thing to appeal as a "pink princess" to cell to girls before Cadence came out and was honestly a great selling point. Some other small inaccuracies/cheap cuts was the G4 DJ-PON3 toy with an indented different eye shape like rarity with her circular eye, Rainbow Dash had lidded eyes for YEARS before it was changed to her more canon eye shape with the three straight lashes, same with Fluttershy and (maybe) AJ. Twilight was also pretty inconsistent after the show introduced her as an alicorn and the company struggled to place her in the small horse body with Pegasus wings or the large Cadence body with the alicorn wings and didn't want to make a whole new model for her besides that one time in the castle playset. Shining armor also didn't have painted hooves in the original wedding playset until the 2013 exclusive playset which painted his hooves but cadence in that set didn't have painted heels, which that set was god awful as it introduced PAPER TIARAS and the awful queen Chrysalis we had. There's also 2 other alicorns never seen in the show that use Celestia's body template which are both pink and yellow, there was also a lot of strange Photoshop work in the toy boxes and speech bubbles being speaking bubbles in the EQ girls playsets. Photofinish also has black streaks in the pony's hair instead of it being all white. Let alone how Rainbow Dash and Cadence didn't have their full colors from mane to tail as the mane for Dashie had red, orange, yellow and green while the tail had purple and blue and Cadence only had a yellow tail. These ponies were sooo cheap and they cut corners really fast but I really enjoyed them before the soft reboot for g4.5 which downgraded my liking towards them lol. Edit; There was also a major inconsistency with Luna as she didn't have her show accurate colors either throughout the entire run of g4 pony line, but nightmare moon was established pretty well and accurately. Also with the Skyla thing, as much as we could say it's a similar thing to Goldlily and Sterling, the toys had a bad habit of spoiling some parts of the show before it was even released like rainbow rocks and rainbow power being heavily marketed only for the actual rainbow power variants of the mane 6 to be shown for a few seconds in an episode AFTER all the merchandise was blasted from hyping it up. The toys at the time gave a lot of spoilers of future characters or themes that'd be put onto the show before the episodes came out so I don't blame anyone for thinking Skyla was going to be canon and she's a lot cuter than flurryheart in my opinion.
1:35 yea, funny how the most recent blind bag to come to Italy (I live here) was the One from 2014, they still sometimes sell those ones, with Fluttershy recolored by rainbow. I never saw a blind bag with accurate Fluttershy.
Seeing my comment gave me a heart attack but like in a good way You should make this a proper series TBH, it's always a blast seeing just how out there MLP toys can get compared to the show, especially when the show's meant to sell toys Speaking of random alicorn toys that never appeared in the show, anyone else remember Princess Gold Lily and Princess Sterling?
@@EffMinus regardless of whether they show up in inaccurate toys 3, their own weird alicorn video, or heck even both I know for sure I'm looking forward to it
Twinkleshines toy came out in 2010 but the first time the characters name is mentioned in the series happened in 2015 so they most likely forgot about the toy.
Another thing I noticed is that in 2010 or 11 idk they made these 2 random Alicorn, princess sterling and princess gold Lily and they never appear in the show
Makes sense smh, they only cared about selling toys back in the day when G4 was brand new and didn't bother to make something accurate... It's not like it is way better now but eh ":7
I think Princess Skyla was going to be Flurry Heart but also Hasbro were testing the waters of random alicorn toys and realised it doesn't make sense in canon
So couple things to note. First regarding the Spike figures based off concept art, that’s not so much Hasbro “rushing the toys” as it is making sure the toys get to market on time. It’s actually incredibly standard practice to base toys off late concept art. Toy production takes a ton of time so they have to start early to make sure releases line up with the show properly. Unfortunately this occasionally results in inaccuracies as late stage design changes take place. Second, the princess alicorn toy you mentioned actually reminds me a ton of toys from the generation of MLP I had as a little hid (which I think is considered gen 3?) Maybe I’m misremembering my childhood here but I could swear I had something very very similar as a little kid. Wonder if they were just reusing old molds or something?
I speak as a collector of My Little Ponies, I appreciate the G4 toys that do not have in-show counterparts. G4 was very lacking in variety and a character having no established personality means that it may be easier to imagine them being however you wish. There are three alicorns that were never in the show: Sterling, Goldlily and Skyla. I don't think that it's impossible that any of them were planned, but I'm inclined to think that they're just characters that were never planned to appear in the G4 show. What's amusing is that differences between the toys and the shows are not really new, what comes to mind is Morning Glory from G1, who was once depicted with inaccurate colours in the show. However, in other depictions her colours were more consistent with that of her toy.
The princess skyla kinda reminds me of those little pony 'baby dolls' they used to make in g3. I think either me or my sister had one. It's basically a huge baby pony toy who's eyes open and close and I think they had voice lines and bottles and stuff.
The Princess skyla toy does look familiar to me until I realized that it's the same look as the baby pinkie pie toy from 2011, no wonder It looked familiar
I remember watching people on youtube as kid of people completely taking hair out and entirely painting over it to make it accurate and it pleased me on a whole other level
4:03 Well I have a simpler theory. I know that LEGO first makes toys and sells them, then broadcasts a series.A similar situation can take place at Hasbro, where they first created a toy and in the process of selling toys, they changed the script of the show.
80% of Luna toys are purple. I get that the dark blue color she has is more expensive to produce but they could have used her design in S1 where she was a lighter blue color, I mean they even use it on the artworks on the boxes. Also, most Cadence toys being the wrong color as well. In the show she was light pink with pastel colors but her toys are way too saturated and ugly.
Cool video. It would be cool if you could make one about weird bootlegs and knockoff MLP toys that are sold in foreign countries. One that comes to mind is "My Little Horse" lmao
Honestly Hasbro had no idea the show would be so popular, they just released a bunch of random toys like they used to do in G3 (That's not bad, G3 is my favorite generation) so until 2013 the toy line and the tv show were almost like totally different things. I remember there were two alicorn princesses in the toy line (One of them came in a pack with Fluttershy), they were just a recolor of Celestia and were never actually in the show.
The only reason I'm happy that the Princess Skyla toy exists is because of the way they spelled her name, it's the 2nd most unique way to spell that name (the dutch spelling is number 1 btw) If you're wondering why I care, that's how MY name is spelled and I don't see it spelled that way often (if ever) Only reason I don't hate that toy
That starswirl is so messed up oh my GOSH. I'm hoping that since some brands start doing what Monster High is doing with the Creeproductions line where they make detailed and new high quality toys for collectors. My little pony has so much untapped potential, and I feel like the demand would still be really high especially with the Brony fandom still thriving.
Princess Skyler reminds me of some other things. When she was launched I remember thinking it was Cadence and Shining Armor’s baby two- thought it would happen sonner I guess. I thought I heard someone say that it ended up being a joke between the creators but I don’t remember where I saw that. They also had two recolors of the standard Princess Celestia mold called “Princess Goldlilly” (sold with a Pinkie Pie- I think) and “Princess Sterling” sold with Fluttershy. I remember being so confused.
Princess Gold Lily and Princess Sterling are also notable in the same way as Skyla. Anyways, I still think all of Twilight's toys being entirely the wrong color up until a G5 figure of her and the redesigned Equestria Girls dolls.
I thought Princess Sterling was going to be the princess of Trottingham and we were going to see Trottingham during the Explore Equestria arc. I was really disappointed when we didn't get either of those things.
This stuff is the reason that even child me who was hyperfixated on the series entirely stopped collecting MLP stuff unless it actually looked right. It pissed me off so bad, and it still does.
What's this? Pony content I havent seen? And it's high quality? Colour me interested. Great vid, i have a bunch of blind bag figures my cousin gave me like 2 years ago and most of them are awful, aside from a cute fluttershy one which i sometimes take out with me as a lucky charm.
Can you do a videos on characters that should have gotten toys like some villians, Danny Williams, the pillars, ECT! Oh and Scootaloo in the washout uniform because that would be fun.
1:34 I always remember the Fluttershy one and I always remember this one making me so angry because the fact that they couldn't fought or giving her the right mold
The princess Skyler toy is literally a rebrand of a toy from G3! You know, the one where they where babies. I had one second hand and it literally never shut up but I always thought it was pretty cute, and I still think the Skyler one is too. The doll ate food, drank from a bottle and you could rock her to sleep. I think her eyes closed too but I can’t remember. To my memory they made three, a rainbowdash, a pink unicorn (that I had) and an earth pony but I can’t remember her either.
Omg you just gave me so many memories like my name is Skyla (sometimes I feel like my name isn’t as common) and I remember freaking out so bad about Princess Skyla when I was younger. I was like “what?!? there’s gonna be a alicorn named Skyla like me?! And she’s gonna be Candace’s foal??!” 😭😭 Now that her name is something else, younger me probably would’ve been very disappointed but it still makes me wonder why they changed her name though
My favorite character and pony as a kid as Luna (she’s still a huge favorite) and I remember bring pissed as all hell that she never got any merch. Whenever she actually DID get merch, she was always bright purple with glittery teal and purple hair and always the main pony model instead of being accurate to her design. They didn’t start releasing accurate merchandise of her until YEARS later
Speaking of alicorn that don't really exist Hasbro made two random alicorns in the celistia pose named princess goldlily and princess Stirling look it up
Your videos make me happy/comfort and ether pacing (especially the way you talk I’m aware that sounds weird) is perfect for my adhd and I’ve been hyperfixated on mlp for years now
This entire concept is basically that episode of Powerpuff girls where that guy made a line of knockoff toy Powerpuffs who looked nothing like the actual Powerpuffs, except in this case it's the actual company making these things
Y'know for a company that earns millions, you'd think at the very least if they're gonna be like everyone else and rush cheap toys- Make the box art accurate?
Bro I hated the blind bag figures so much, because they're pretty much all recolors. And Fluttershy being a Rainbow Dash recolor pissed me off so much, at least they could've used someone with more similar of a hairstyle to hers
Going with the princess Skylar thing she wasn’t the only one released I remember there was also princess Larva and Twila. I also remember two recolors of princess celesta and they were Princess Sterling and Gold Lily maybe you can add these in??
Maybe it was a fever dream but I could swear they also made up a baby for queen chrysalis named princess larva. I tried to look it up but I genuinely can't tell if it's an edit or not
i have been laughing at the thumbnail for so long. its so funny that it seems someone is so disappointed and mad at these mlp toys. my favourite part is the capitalised “MORE” and the “really…?” you are so disappointed and im here for it
Ayyy it’s me at the end!! Also another suggestion, there’s a Flower Wishes toy I used to have who hasbro made a Pegasus for some reason even though in the show, she’s an earth pony.
Ever since I saw that Fluttershy toy with the Rainbow dash hair always confused me. When I first saw her mane I was like “That’s not her?” I’m also wondering why this appears in my recommendations twice right next to eachother.
I rerember those two andom brushable alicorns, one Lemon yellow and other purpleish blue, I remember seeing theese as a kid and thinking to myself: "wtf?"
Nobody really cares xd, but I have 3 theories as to why twinkle Shine might be pink 1. Most plausible of the 3, they made her that way so that she would appeal more to little kids 2. They planned and produced the toy before she was shown, and were unable to change the toy's design after 3. She was based/inspired by a past gen pony. It may not make much sense to people who don't collect the toys, but stuff like this happened quite a lot lol, many of the "original series" ponies are based/inspired by older gen ponies, best example I can think of is Rainbow Flash, which not only has the same name but also looks exactly like her G3 counterpart, others like Cupcake (also known as "Sugarcup"), Dewdrop Dazzle, Plumsweet, Starswirl, Skywishes and Honey Buzz also have the same thing going on with them. Granted, I was unable to find any possible G3 ponies that they might've based her on Also, sort of a fun fact: all of the original series non-mane six characters use a recolor as their box art, only exceptions being: Cheerilee, Lily Blossom, Daisy Dreams, Rainbow Flash and Starswirl
My theory is they made twinkle shine pink so she can be more appealing to children
Like what they did for the first princess celestia toys
Just like celestia
Pinklestia and Pinkleshine
@@johnmyrick9357 lol
I think they drank the forbidden sauce
2:12 The reason why they included the gummy with purple eyes instead of the plush one is because they didn’t want to confuse the audience with why pinkie may have had a random alligator in her room so they had to make sure to specify it was actually gummy with the purple eyes :>
Ohhhhhhh
That makes sense
That's about the show, the question is why for an equestria girls playset, would they use the normal gummy and not just make a plush version
I had that one
With how crazily popular MLP was, Hasbro would lose nothing if they made accurate, detailed but more expensive merchandise
Or if Hasbro's toy makers weren't colorblind
Strange the way Hasbro just ignored almost every new character from season 7 from there on, No Pillars, no Wallflower, no Vignette, no Kirin! I have a Pony Wallflower plush and a friend of mine has an Autumn Blaze plush, but of course these were custom (although awesome quality) pieces. Would be interesting to see something about characters ignored by Hasbro
I'm kinda sad there's no Wallfy merch. I would literally fill my room with those if they existed.
All the Student Six got Mash'ems, though. Plus, Sandbar and Silverstream got brushables.
Sadly, G4 had an issue with a general lack of variety in characters, especially later on. Comparing G4 with any generations preceeding it (barring G3.5, which only had the main cast) is quite interesting, as generations before had far, far more characters in the toyline.

@@theclasscalico I guess Hasbro didn't think enough of the ponies in the show were marketable enough, especially not the male ones.
I would've bought all the Rockhoof and Kirin merch 🥲
I always found it funny that Hasbro gave Twilight Sparkle purple hair with pink streaks instead of giving her dark blue hair with pink streaks like it is on the show.
she actually has two streaks! She has dark blue hair with pink and dark purple streaks, but due to the shade of the purple, it's hard to see
@@natalie-chanistrash7214Sorry for the miscommunication, I was talking about the brushables.
@@Fuecoco9974 I was too.

Man I haven’t thought about Princess Skyla in a looooong time. I was so convinced she would be in season 4 back in the day
Oh me too. I saw her in the video and I thought : “I’ve never seen this one before! Maybe she’ll appear later!”
There are two other alicorns made. Princess Gold Lily was one of them. Sterling was the other.

Yeah, I once saw a MLP Christmas ornament of Fluttershy, but instead of Fluttershy’s cutie mark, it had Pinkie Pie’s.
Maybe it was either a mistake, or a callback to the season 3 finale.
Saw that on eBay !
#officalmagicalmysterycuremerch
Good for you your comment got on the second video
" you probably think that was Pinkie Pie "
" y-yeah!! .. "
*proceeds to think why i thought it was Fluttershy*
i still have one question: WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS WRONG??
They just want money
Pssh, what are they, Activision?
It's a toy company 💀
I had show accurate toys when I was younger the only ones missing were twilight and AJ
AJ and Twilight weren't part of the set
Reminds me as an old pony collector when I was little that I had some rare playsets including queen chrysalis which just had drawn-on holes as a recolored Celestia and that I had some other Celestia toys in G4 (not g4.5) that were white.

Second, the princess alicorn toy you mentioned actually reminds me a ton of toys from the generation of MLP I had as a little hid (which I think is considered gen 3?) Maybe I’m misremembering my childhood here but I could swear I had something very very similar as a little kid. Wonder if they were just reusing old molds or something?
0:59 they definitely confused between the shadow and star swirl
I've had plenty of MLP mini figures when i was younger. Many ones from blind bags.
Samee
I speak as a collector of My Little Ponies, I appreciate the G4 toys that do not have in-show counterparts. G4 was very lacking in variety and a character having no established personality means that it may be easier to imagine them being however you wish.
There are three alicorns that were never in the show: Sterling, Goldlily and Skyla. I don't think that it's impossible that any of them were planned, but I'm inclined to think that they're just characters that were never planned to appear in the G4 show.
What's amusing is that differences between the toys and the shows are not really new, what comes to mind is Morning Glory from G1, who was once depicted with inaccurate colours in the show. However, in other depictions her colours were more consistent with that of her toy.
i have an official Celestia toy in the shape of a regular pony it always bothered me as a kid and i wouldnt play with it lol
The princess skyla kinda reminds me of those little pony 'baby dolls' they used to make in g3. I think either me or my sister had one. It's basically a huge baby pony toy who's eyes open and close and I think they had voice lines and bottles and stuff.
The Princess skyla toy does look familiar to me until I realized that it's the same look as the baby pinkie pie toy from 2011, no wonder It looked familiar
That's the same line as those so you're right.
inaccurate or not, i honestly love them still LMAO. anyway, great to see more bronies!!
It did bug me to have an inaccurate Fluttershy too but later on I got an accurate Fluttershy figure :p
I actually use to thought the recolor of Fluttershy looked cute
Loved the video 💕
Can you make a video about mlp bootleg toys? Here in my country they sell A LOT of those and they’re really funny
cool idea! i'll do one if i can find enough to talk about!
Oh god. Yes. I myself own a Celestia with red skin and blonde hair.
I remember watching people on youtube as kid of people completely taking hair out and entirely painting over it to make it accurate and it pleased me on a whole other level
4:03 Well I have a simpler theory. I know that LEGO first makes toys and sells them, then broadcasts a series.A similar situation can take place at Hasbro, where they first created a toy and in the process of selling toys, they changed the script of the show.
even as a kid i thought the way they reused the mlp blind bag models was rlly lazy and was always bothered by it
80% of Luna toys are purple. I get that the dark blue color she has is more expensive to produce but they could have used her design in S1 where she was a lighter blue color, I mean they even use it on the artworks on the boxes.
Also, most Cadence toys being the wrong color as well. In the show she was light pink with pastel colors but her toys are way too saturated and ugly.
Cool video. It would be cool if you could make one about weird bootlegs and knockoff MLP toys that are sold in foreign countries. One that comes to mind is "My Little Horse" lmao
Demon donkey as well
Honestly Hasbro had no idea the show would be so popular, they just released a bunch of random toys like they used to do in G3 (That's not bad, G3 is my favorite generation)
so until 2013 the toy line and the tv show were almost like totally different things. I remember there were two alicorn princesses in the toy line (One of them came in a pack with Fluttershy), they were just a recolor of Celestia and were never actually in the show.
i love you more than rarity that's a huge thing
The only reason I'm happy that the Princess Skyla toy exists is because of the way they spelled her name, it's the 2nd most unique way to spell that name (the dutch spelling is number 1 btw)
If you're wondering why I care, that's how MY name is spelled and I don't see it spelled that way often (if ever)
Only reason I don't hate that toy
Okay the fluttershy in the thumbnail is trans, it just looks trans. Its flutterguy.
Nah, that’s flutterchad
Nah, it’s fluttershit.
Flutterguy
That starswirl is so messed up oh my GOSH. I'm hoping that since some brands start doing what Monster High is doing with the Creeproductions line where they make detailed and new high quality toys for collectors. My little pony has so much untapped potential, and I feel like the demand would still be really high especially with the Brony fandom still thriving.

Therapist: Twinkle Pie does not exist it can't hurt you
Twinkle pie:
Pretty sure they coloured them similarly so kids will see the non-popular pony and mistakenly buy them because they look like the main cast
WHAAAAT your ponysona is SOOO cool!!
i like him so much!!
Princess Skyler reminds me of some other things. When she was launched I remember thinking it was Cadence and Shining Armor’s baby two- thought it would happen sonner I guess. I thought I heard someone say that it ended up being a joke between the creators but I don’t remember where I saw that. They also had two recolors of the standard Princess Celestia mold called “Princess Goldlilly” (sold with a Pinkie Pie- I think) and “Princess Sterling” sold with Fluttershy. I remember being so confused.
*it doesn’t let me edit it for some reason but I ment too not two
Princess Gold Lily and Princess Sterling are also notable in the same way as Skyla.
Anyways, I still think all of Twilight's toys being entirely the wrong color up until a G5 figure of her and the redesigned Equestria Girls dolls.
I thought Princess Sterling was going to be the princess of Trottingham and we were going to see Trottingham during the Explore Equestria arc.
I was really disappointed when we didn't get either of those things.
It all makes sense now I guess i wasn’t the only one confused about some of the toys 😳
This stuff is the reason that even child me who was hyperfixated on the series entirely stopped collecting MLP stuff unless it actually looked right. It pissed me off so bad, and it still does.
What's this? Pony content I havent seen? And it's high quality? Colour me interested. Great vid, i have a bunch of blind bag figures my cousin gave me like 2 years ago and most of them are awful, aside from a cute fluttershy one which i sometimes take out with me as a lucky charm.
I hate Fl*ttershy, but other than that, welcome to the channel!
That more up to date Fluttershy you showed is literally the one I have so that was a nice chuckle I got when I realized that they were the same one.
i'm not even a mlp fan but i was high-key invested in this lmao
Oml the memories this video brought back. I still have the majority of my old MLP figures & istg I use to have that exact Pinkie Pie & Gummy set!!
I also feel like ive seen the baby skyla toy in person years ago but I honestly forgot about it
MLP: Friendship is Magic childhood toys are so pretty! imo
Can you do a videos on characters that should have gotten toys like some villians, Danny Williams, the pillars, ECT! Oh and Scootaloo in the washout uniform because that would be fun.
1:34
I always remember the Fluttershy one and I always remember this one making me so angry because the fact that they couldn't fought or giving her the right mold
The princess Skyler toy is literally a rebrand of a toy from G3! You know, the one where they where babies. I had one second hand and it literally never shut up but I always thought it was pretty cute, and I still think the Skyler one is too. The doll ate food, drank from a bottle and you could rock her to sleep. I think her eyes closed too but I can’t remember. To my memory they made three, a rainbowdash, a pink unicorn (that I had) and an earth pony but I can’t remember her either.
You might be thinking about Lullaby Moon or Apple Sprout, the unicorn was Lily
There were also two pegasi named Cotton Belle and Sunny Daze
Omg you just gave me so many memories like my name is Skyla (sometimes I feel like my name isn’t as common) and I remember freaking out so bad about Princess Skyla when I was younger. I was like “what?!? there’s gonna be a alicorn named Skyla like me?! And she’s gonna be Candace’s foal??!” 😭😭 Now that her name is something else, younger me probably would’ve been very disappointed but it still makes me wonder why they changed her name though
There was this kind girl who had mlp toys and gave me an apple jack, she kept the recolour
(This was years ago)
Omg I had that pinkie sleepover set, gummy is the only piece left
Your channel has been booming so much including your vids! Keep up the awesome work!
My favorite character and pony as a kid as Luna (she’s still a huge favorite) and I remember bring pissed as all hell that she never got any merch.
Whenever she actually DID get merch, she was always bright purple with glittery teal and purple hair and always the main pony model instead of being accurate to her design.
They didn’t start releasing accurate merchandise of her until YEARS later
Fun facc: princess skyla looks sunburnt as hell and needs Aloe Vera to feel better...
That maud pie figure looks nice. I’ve never seen it before.
Yeah, I that is what makes me mad sometimes lol
I remember Princess Skyla, but Yeah Flurry Heart is Cuter and Unique
Speaking of alicorn that don't really exist Hasbro made two random alicorns in the celistia pose named princess goldlily and princess Stirling look it up
We need more Inaccurate my little pony toys I don't know why these videos are very entertaining
I think it’s strange that her hair is hot pink instead of light pink and the blue on her cutie mark is kind of different I mean for twinkle Shy
Your videos make me happy/comfort and ether pacing (especially the way you talk I’m aware that sounds weird) is perfect for my adhd and I’ve been hyperfixated on mlp for years now
that means a lot, thanks. even IF this video and my newer vids feel like they're from different channels lol.
I swear Netflix Saw this princess skyla toy and thought them selfs “Hey! Let’s make a character out of it”
2:00 so they made Fluttershy looking like Rainbow Dash... And a pony who actually IN THE SHOW looks like Rainbow is Fluttershy.... Okay...
M an, that Starswirl's model is a stuff of nightmares
As someone with blind bag minifigures, i always see somebody who looks exactly the same as rarity or applejack.
Bro I love your channel, it brings so much nostalgia
I swear princess skyla was in some sort of fan game that had her as the actual doll in the game but I can't for the life of me find it
I love the vid! Pt 3 would be awesome! + there was many mini figs characters that weren’t even in the Show!
dude i had the princess skyla toy. it scared the shit out of me as a child.
0:45 I used to have one like that when I was little, but I never noticed she was inaccurate 🤷♀️
lucky
fluttershy is so left out :(
Oh god I remember that I indeed had princess Styla toy. I wonder where she is now
This entire concept is basically that episode of Powerpuff girls where that guy made a line of knockoff toy Powerpuffs who looked nothing like the actual Powerpuffs, except in this case it's the actual company making these things
Y'know for a company that earns millions, you'd think at the very least if they're gonna be like everyone else and rush cheap toys- Make the box art accurate?
Bro I hated the blind bag figures so much, because they're pretty much all recolors. And Fluttershy being a Rainbow Dash recolor pissed me off so much, at least they could've used someone with more similar of a hairstyle to hers
Princess Skyla is probably just a toy that exst just to appeal to 5 year old girls
Going with the princess Skylar thing she wasn’t the only one released I remember there was also princess Larva and Twila. I also remember two recolors of princess celesta and they were Princess Sterling and Gold Lily maybe you can add these in??
Actually rethinking this Twila is not a real toy, from doing a quick search on her she’s a fan child of Twilight and Prince BlueBlood.
Princess Larva and Twila are both not real, but there were 2 other original So Soft Newborn dolls called Apple Sprouts and Sunny Daze
HELP I ACTUALLY HAD THE RECOLOURED CELESTIA AS A KID SHSJGSHS
Maybe it was a fever dream but I could swear they also made up a baby for queen chrysalis named princess larva. I tried to look it up but I genuinely can't tell if it's an edit or not
i have been laughing at the thumbnail for so long. its so funny that it seems someone is so disappointed and mad at these mlp toys. my favourite part is the capitalised “MORE” and the “really…?”
you are so disappointed and im here for it

Therapist: Flutter Dash is not real it cannot hurt you
Flutter Dash:
Ayyy it’s me at the end!!
Also another suggestion, there’s a Flower Wishes toy I used to have who hasbro made a Pegasus for some reason even though in the show, she’s an earth pony.
Ever since I saw that Fluttershy toy with the Rainbow dash hair always confused me. When I first saw her mane I was like “That’s not her?”
I’m also wondering why this appears in my recommendations twice right next to eachother.
I used to have that Fluttershy toy XD idk why I never questioned it
I rerember those two andom brushable alicorns, one Lemon yellow and other purpleish blue, I remember seeing theese as a kid and thinking to myself: "wtf?"
Nobody really cares xd, but I have 3 theories as to why twinkle Shine might be pink
1. Most plausible of the 3, they made her that way so that she would appeal more to little kids
2. They planned and produced the toy before she was shown, and were unable to change the toy's design after
3. She was based/inspired by a past gen pony. It may not make much sense to people who don't collect the toys, but stuff like this happened quite a lot lol, many of the "original series" ponies are based/inspired by older gen ponies, best example I can think of is Rainbow Flash, which not only has the same name but also looks exactly like her G3 counterpart, others like Cupcake (also known as "Sugarcup"), Dewdrop Dazzle, Plumsweet, Starswirl, Skywishes and Honey Buzz also have the same thing going on with them. Granted, I was unable to find any possible G3 ponies that they might've based her on
Also, sort of a fun fact: all of the original series non-mane six characters use a recolor as their box art, only exceptions being: Cheerilee, Lily Blossom, Daisy Dreams, Rainbow Flash and Starswirl
wow you really know your stuff lol
Don’t forget minty wasn’t she one of the older gens
@@olivia8oof they also made a Surprise pony too!! She's from G1 and in her pony card there was a bio telling us she was a Wonderbolt
The "Free" Egmont magazine figures probably had more attention to detail than most of Hasbro's output, pity the scale varied.
