- With the sheer amount of merchandise that came out following the explosive popularity of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, it was only natural that there would be a few... questionable releases. From strangely off-model plushes, to the controversial Equestria Girls line, to the wacky world of bootlegs and knockoffs, today let's take a look at the weirdest and wildest examples of cursed My Little Pony merchandise!!

My sister had a celestia that said “I’m a princess, are you a princesss too” and the audio got very distorted at one point like you couldn’t understand her. The off button also didn’t work so from the closet you’d here electronic wing noises and “ïm æ prîńčēšś årė yÿúœū ā prīńçëśš tôœo”
That sounds very terrifying and interesting at the same time…. Lol
@@sandystudios223 Agreed. Sounds like the kind of thing that would be perfect for a creepypasta.
The ads I remember
This is how your regular creppypasta begins, beware
I had this one too XD It was pretty and all, but oh boy did it freak me out
The theory we came up with back in the day for why Celestia was always pink is that technically she *is* pink, just a really light pink. Compare her to Rarity or other white ponies and she's a different shade and has pink line art. Probably on her official write up that goes between the cartoon and toy departments she's listed as "light pink" so that's what they mix up in the factory.
Yea she’s more cream than white, but given the sheer amount of pink Celestia I wouldn’t doubt the theory that they made her pink to sell toys.
@@coolcreepergaming1012 I take it you haven’t reached that part of the video lmao. The issue at hand is that nearly every official Celestia toy is some shade of pink and not white. AFTER Cadence was released, Celestia became more cream and white in the official toys,
those are cadince colors but the cutie mark is wrong
I did it is just strange that Candice is maybe based off of it
Celestia is pink in toys because hasbro thought it would be more marketable to girls. There isnt any specific lore reason
For anyone whose curious. There was actually a line of mlp/Equestria girls themed anime figures that were released that look pretty damn good (offering figures in both the characters cannon skin colour as well as human skin colour). Though sadly their pretty hard to find and are pricy buggers
i found all of them on Amazon and are still on sale( there's even a miku version)
just for the record, I would kill a man for the Rainbow Dash figure. she's been my favourite for ten whole years and thus it's required that I have her to proudly display on my shelf.
There's also a Hatsune Miku one as well, with a ponyified Miku!
Those and the miku one are my favs, rd looks so good but they are so expensive here lmao
what is the brand called
Calling someone a poorly painted blindbag fake sounds like a rare and devastating insult
Hearing that the “Cupcake Keepsakes” were kept in jars sent a chill down my spine. Like an ancient ghoul rising from beyond its death to haunt me, never making contact but staying just in the periphery of my vision. I know what it is, I know it’s there, but god I wish I didn’t.
This creeped me out how much I relate to this. I'm high as well
it's like a one two punch not just due to the jars but also that they're cupcake themed
Given the rewrite ongoing and the fact Cupcakes will never die... same.
Edit: I oddly thought the fact it was a Cupcakes ref was more startling.
I hated those things so much when I saw them in stores as a kid just because of the cupcakes creepypasta
@@skystoyhunts7225 They're totally a nod to it.
The backpack at 18:31 killed me dead 😂 I'm sure the people who made it didn't realize that they chose a jpeg of the serial killer pinkie, but it's still really funny
OH. It was so subtle, I didn't even notice at first.
Oh god, imagine if she was covered in blood too😂
That ain’t for kids ☠️
i love that izzzyzzz refuses to talk about the pony jar but owns a pair of pony jar earrings
I just rewatched that video yesterday, I laugh every time at the “The rainbow dash jar. NO.”
I WAS STARING AT THEM THE WHOLE VIDEO. I DIDN'T KNOW.
probably so she doesn't get demoralized lmao
they can't be boiled on the radiator if they're dangling from one's ears
i didn't even realize😭
I found a pretty high quality Queen Chrysalis plushie at a flea market a few months ago - her proportions were great, all the details and eyes were embroidered, she was all the right colours...but she was bald. Instead of a mane she just had her fuzzy grey pony head out for all the world to see. There was no indication she'd ever even had a mane; no ripped seams or places where it looked like someone had removed her locks. just a big, round, bald head. obviously she came home with me.
When your entire hive gets taken from you… sometimes you just… snap lol
Cadence snatched her wig when she lost the battle at the wedding U_U
Please give her hair

ah yes, cupcakes in a jar, it's like a 2 for 1 on MLP trauma
izzy never resisting the urge to talk about mlp and blessing us once again
thank GOD for it its my favorite topic for her to dive into because i used to be a fan. love her forever
Mlp culture is a deep dive into depravity.
I wonder if she’s inspired to make a video by first designing an iconic makeup look or finding a hyperfixation topic
@@reptilianhive9999 same!
Are we seriously not going to talk about the 'Rainbow Dash in a jar' earrings?! So disturbing...yet so ICONIC!!! Love them! 😅❤
THANK YOU someone mentioned the earrings!! They wore them in a previous video and I couldn't stop laughing at the earrings the whole time
THANK YOU! That was the first thing I saw!
They are from a Aussie earring maker called Mr Raccoon Design. She has iconic earrings. Highly recommend!!
I'm like a minute into the video and came searching for this exact comment.
i regret googling this :((
I physically recoiled when that robotic Twilight came on the screen. I cannot beLIEVE someone said "perfect, that's the look we want" to that thing.
I once found a dirty Twilight plush keychain on a road. I picked it up and washed it, thinking the poor thing got ran over because of how squished it was. It never un-squished. It was only when I saw the TY portion of this video that I realised it was made that way
oh god 💀 poor plushie, where in the vid shows that keychain?
@@smugggles around the 4:00 mark!
@@suneater_zeef050 jeez that is indeed a badly squished plushie ):
This literally made me laugh out loud 😂
squimsh
Celestia's official color is listed as "Rose Pink" rather than white, which might explain why so many of her toys are that pink color
Rose pink is such a different color! How tf did they expect that to work
25:25 rarity is shown pregnant (/otherwise very round) on this box for some reason
@@AverageConsumer-uj8smoh no, the fanfics
@@mantis-manthegreat it is likely due to her pink outline...
It's so funny because Celestia is a very Whitish pink. She looks white next to everyone but next to Shinning or rarity (who changes between white and light gray) it's shows more.
16:01 Oh my god, the dolls were HORRID. I was so used to the articulation and quality of Monster and Ever After High dolls, I was beyond disappointed when I got myself a Rainbow Rocks doll and found they had molded on leotards and minimal joints. Not to mention being a bit ugly with their head shapes and makeup choices
i had so many of the og eqg dolls and i remember hating the poor quality but i was so obsessed with eqg that i kept getting them anyways
THEY ALSO COULD NOT STAND UP
13:25 Celestia's coat isn't white. It's pale pink. But it's a VERY pale pink. I think a lot of manufacturers didn't want to replicate it, so they just went with the lightest pink they already had on hand
@venusrhodonite6988and Im pretty sure rarity is also not completely white too (could be wrong) and I don't see anyone make her not white!
it could also be due to the fact she has a notable pink outline as well, she's an extremely subtle pink tone that's washed out by the outline color itself but then the manufacturers just? ignore it and goes for the full pink even if it doesnt match the outline color and goes into a darker magenta/purple kind of color
@@minimaemarchrarity is an EXTREMELY light grey from what i can tell
@@sosansationalOk I thought so
..
SO HOW DO THEY NOT MESS UP RARITY'S DESIGN ToT
It's offwhite if anything. Should still have used white since matching exact color is impossibly hard to do cheaply
Seeing the Cupcake Keepsakes genuinely shocked me. Did we all just collectively forget about the "Cupcakes" fan-fiction? I'd love to know when they released those, because that's a pretty ballsy move if you ask me. The jar is the cherry on top, seems like they were trying to appeal to the weirder sides of the fandom
Cupcakes came out in 2011, the RD jar in 2014 and sadly the cupcake keepsakes came in 2013
somebody was either very ignorant or VERY knowledgeable
no bc im surprised izzy didnt make a cupcakes joke either. like i thought of the animation before i even realised there was a jar included.
@@kiwivvv the animation came after the fanfiction
No idea what that is
This is a model example of fandom where the fan-made merch looks more official than the actual officially licensed merch.
i was never an mlp fan as a kid but i had this twilight sparkle teddy which for some reason decided to make her mane and tail the most scratchy uncomfortable tinsel known to man. i remember forcing myself to cuddle her every night even though it was so uncomfortable cuz i thought that if i didn't sleep with every single teddy i owned, they would think i didn't love them anymore and would abandon me lmao
not rlly got anything to do with the video it just reminded me of that lol
HELP ME THIS IS SO FUNNY
your user gives me flashbacks
I remember doing that all the time when I was little, I would pile all of my stuffed animals on top of myself and attempt to hug all of them at the same time because I didn’t want them to think I had favorites
Fjfhbfb this is a mood- except instead of being a normal kid I'd decided that my toys would come alive and literally murder me if I didn't say I love them and show them love constantly-
There was also the way that so much official merch would miss out Applejack and sometimes Rarity. If 3 were included, Fluttershy would typically also be dropped. Heavily contributed to the meme of AJ and Rarity being background ponies.
Also, whilst not cursed in their final form, Build a Bear ponies look cursed in their unstuffed form. About 10 years ago I went to a Pony Convention where the local BaB had set up a stand, and next to the table they had black bin bags full of unstuffed Twilight's and Dash's.
The amount of kits missing either Rarity or AJ is insane.
I think I still have a rainbow dash build a bear plush somewhere
@@Topdoggie7 seriously, justice for goth Applejack
@@biptari I'm torn between AJ turning her nose up ,"Holy Equestria, Rarity, it'll take me ten hours jus' ta do the eye-stuff!" and some scary goth rock-a-billy treatment, demon-faced boots like Star Butterfly or Gene Simmons, barbed-wire lasso, skull-adorned hat, spiked belt, snakeskin vest.
Of course, the scariest item in this video, Izzys Rainbow Dash jar earrings.
I love that izzy has a new look for each video it is so iconic
literally its crazy how they never seem to run out of ideas and be so iconic at the same time
IKR her look never gets old
izzy is the only legitimate real life JoJo character. This fashion train brakes for nobody.
they're always so extra i love it
She bought the dlc
Izzy’s makeup for each video can honestly be turned into an album cover.
I legit just sent it to my bf saying 'look at the make uuuup!'
Bit excessive and distracting to me
@@Imogen-BezembinderGood bait
Whitest man alive
@@Imogen-Bezembinder She’s living her best life. :)
9:17 ok the jar is one thing, but the fact it's also cupcakes specifically immediately reminded me of the creepypasta, and personally I feel like that makes it TEN times worse
babe wake up izzzyzzz posted
I’m up I up!
the way i actually just woke up 5 minutes ago
I’m up, thanks bae
I kid you not, my partner actually messaged me this
I ALREADY AM!!
The line “ this set of pigtail ponies with silly hats are honestly is pretty adorable” really warmed my heart for some reason, and yes they’re right, they’re so cute
28:55 “Hello! Come and collect our souls...but please make it painless...”
There actually is a line of humanoid mlp figures by kotobukiya that nails the human versions pretty well. Kinda wish they went with human designs based and styled around the original mlp crew instead of the equestria girls stuff I found on store shelves. Also the long pillows are pretty common in Asia either as leg support or back support!
The MLP bishoujo figurines! I accidentally saw them some time ago and was quite impressed how good they looked. Strangely enough the set also has a figurine... of Hatsune Miku and her ponysona :D
@@towelie1313 I kinda stumbled on them on accident too! Was looking through for other figures set to release and was amazed by the quality and designs, a true trip down memory lane haha. I think the icing on the cake was adding the quality mini figures of the actual ponies next to it!
@@towelie1313 I have the Hatsune Miku pony statue! Very high quality and pretty :)
My girlfriend has all of the Bishoujo figures except applejack because she hates applejack and it upsets me SO MUCH 😅
My local comics/collectables shop has both the Luna Bishoujo and the Miku Pony figure and I have to fight myself not to buy them every time I go in
Hasbro has an incredible track record for selling things that look like bootlegs of their own properties
The FNAF plushies have to be a prime example, eeeeeesh
@@planetsliveinsidethemoon1600 the fact FNAF has plushies marketed at kids is still low-key trippy to me 😭
HELP I misread this as Funko, Hasbro has not sold merchandise of the hit 2014 horror game Five Nights At Freddy’s as far as I know
The reason Princess Celestia toys were pink is because Hasbro REALLY REALLY wanted a pink mascot for MLP, much like how Pinkie Pie was for G3. It's a rumor, but I heard Lauren had to fight tooth and nail for Twilight to be a lavender purple and not bright pink. It also shows in that Luna toys are always a light purple instead of the dark midnight blue color she's known for (looks too 'evil').
The Twilight rumor seems unlikely since Twilight Sparkle's design is from a G3 pony who was purple (Twilight Twinkle.) Also Lauren Faust originally envisoned her as a reintroduction of G1 Twilight, who is pink. But yeah, spot on with the Princess Celestia stuff . . . They wanted a pink alicorn to sell big toys of.
i think a part of the reason why celestia often times was miscoloured as a pink is because if you look closely at a lot of the art of her (official art) she is a very pale pink, and also the pink outlines on her can also trick the eyes to see her as more pink-ish. that doesnt excuse her being a full on pink tho, at least they could have made a very light pastel pink that is mostly just an off white
They should have just used white.. offwhite pink is likely more expensive
@@LeBongFairy yeah I think they should have made her white for the figurines, it would definitely be better than making her fully pink.
My guess as to the "quality control" aspect of the weirder ones is that so long as the toys arent exploding in kids faces or arent directly poisoning the kids they got the pass
I own the interactive Twilight toy and I never thought about the fact it DOES look like someone wearing Twilights skin. Never thought about it until now. I cannot look at the plush the same way ever again, thank you! Like really, thanks. It’s pretty cool lol
The wild thing about Equestrian Girls being scorned as a cash grab for a toy line is that the entire series was literally made to sell toys.
The cupcake figurine is extra weird considering one of the most popular(or simply most well-known) MLP fan fiction that we-all-know…
Fallout : Equestria
I would honestly like to own some of the "terrified" ponies, starting from 27:35 They look epic
Fashion Horse is a BIG hit in the multi-gen collector community. The broadly accepted name is "Concerned Pony" and she is beloved.
EDIT: I'd also recommend looking into the past generations for weird official merch. I've got one toy line from g1 to point out to you: "Beddy Bye Eyes". Especially those that have rusted...
The name alone is cursed.
Edit: actually I’ve discovered that the name is very ironic bc I’m never going to beddy byes again after googling those things 🥶
I recently bought some old Beddy Bye Eyes ponys to restore and they're so fucking scary because their eyes are rusty
The “rainbow dash that ate a lemon” actually caught me so off guard that I choked 😭 unbelievable!!
21:48 Did anyone else notice the creepy Spike?
LMAO YES
Things about this video I appreciate:
-Someone finally pointed out how bad of an idea of those cupcake keepsake things are.
-Introducing me to bootlegged merchandise I had not previously heard of... Impressive!
-Firefly mention
-Concerned pony spotlight
Improvement suggestion:
-Do not forget to include Demon Donkeys in the bootleg logo lineup.
The fact demon donkeys aren’t an actual IP gives me depression.
My brain first went to Firefly TV show before realizing it was actually the pony lol
I appreciate those earrings.
Izzy's makeup is so cool in every video, they're an icon
Truly 💅🏼
I agree 100%! I look forward to their new looks as much as I do their new videos!
9:24 not only is it mlp in jars, it's CUPCAKE mlp in jars. That's like a combo attack of cursedness
Kinda random but would love to see you cover Bella Sara. Not sure how much of a wild story it is but I know it’s a niche childhood topic that if you were a horse girl in the mid 2000s to mid 2010s you probably knew of. I’ve recently gotten back into Bella Sara and I’m so sad to see it’s been discontinued. It still has a pretty small but dedicated fan base but unfortunately not a lot of new content
Omg you reawakened memories in me. I had almost all of the first wave set they released and definitely had the whole set of the ballroom card set. I was on that website almost every day with my best friend at the time, and we'd look up codes for horses we didn't have online to cheat them into the stable :') good memories ❤️
Wait is this that horse game thing with trading cards and codes so you could go online and take care of the horses or something?!
athena p did a short video on it, but it wasnt a deep dive (i just want more ppl to watch athena p shes so good)
Gosh, I was obsessed with Bella Sara when I was younger!! I still have all my cards and some of the little flocked blind bag figures. Probably a couple of the big figurines too. I was so sad when the website went down; I loved collecting all the horses and decorating my room and playing all the mini games. (The fireworks one was always my favorite)
Holy shit I had one of the bella sara board games that neither me nor my mom could figure out how to play!! Brings back so many memories!
My theory with them using pink instead of white is just that white plastic can yellow very easily, is easy to stain, will look grubby faster, etc. Plus, if for children's toys, white is made with titanium dioxide, which innit exactly something you want a kid putting in their mouth. White plastic in general is kinda rare. You more often will get off-white, and instead of going for cream, they likely decided to just shift to pink.
Makes sense if it wasn't for the fact they've made Rarity toys since the start and she's always white
And in the show she has a slightly pinkish outline so the entire color could be easily interpreted as a pinkish white (?) if deemed necessary
Titanium dioxide is still regarded as food safe in most places, and was only taken off the list in the EU in 2021.
@@a_bear i guess, but like that isn’t a pinkish white. It doesn’t even register as off white it’s just plain pink not to mention the fact that her main is also often incorrect and I can’t find a logical reason for that . Idk man . They made rarity white so they can do it . Plus rarity has a blue outline and she’s never been anywhere near full on blue. It’s just really odd
probably because they thought girls like pink more, like 99% sure of that.
I just noticed that you upload pretty often considering how elaborate and well researched your videos are and I wanted to say that I really appreciate what you do. Really impressive how quickly you’re able to make these seemingly high effort videos.

12:00 The Celestia toys were so commonly discolored in the exact same way, that as a kid I would see them on the shelves and go “hm, guess there’s a new alicorn in the further seasons”.
You weren't wrong
„Celestia has a twin sister???!!?”
16:29 I had the rarity one !! the skirt was always falling off or wouldn't stay in place, and when you remove the shoes it's literally just a click-on plastic ball joint type thing. very much loved it as a kid though
Izzzyzzz's sense of fashion is my favorite thing ngl
I have another theory about Celestia's color scheme. White plastic tends to stain and discolor over time VERY easily, and even Gunpla fans recommend you paint the white parts of your bot a slightly grey off-white to avoid yellowing over time. Could that be a factor in making Celestia more pink?
pretty sure it's been confirmed multiple times pink celestia was because the execs thought a pink princess would sell better
Then why are Rarity and Sweetie Bell toys white?
@@captaincaspian42 Most likely because they aren't princesses
I believe Lauren Faust said that they made a lot of her toys pink, because according to toymakers girls=pink and alicorn toys were the most popular. Lauren wasn't happy about it . She also had to fight to keep celestia without a love interest. Cadence was basically just shuffled in there to be the pink,married celestia they wanted initially. Rarity toys have always been white, so they could just do it, they just wanted to cashgrab with stupid antiquated ideas
They had storages full of these toys before they even knew what the cartoon was gonna look like. The toys always go into production first and they choose things they already have the mold and materials for on stock.
Actually! Those weird “long plushies” are probably just my little pony themed “gulingans”! Gulingans are like a type of cylindrical long pillow in indonesia, usually placed under another pillows to cushion it more but some people just basically use it like a body pillow
Love Izzy's constant roasting of alicorn twilight. It's just so out of nowhere yet genuine. 😂
A polygon donut inspired izzy video? yes please! The type of content both of you make is absolute gold and some of my all time favorites on youtube. I can always count on your videos to cheer me up while also educating me on the silliest, most fun and/or obscure things. this upload totally made my day :)
Yes!!!
That’s why I’m subscribed to her! She makes such cool videos! I still can’t get over the fact she barely mentioned the weird Pou flash games in her Pou video though.
Polygon Donut's content feels like an Izzyzzy video that was edited by Dumbsville
It's awesome
Yessssssss
we eagerly await the colab
29:04 the blue one has its eyes printed on backwards XD
25:30 damn i can't believe they released a version of spike with alexandria's genesis disorder
OMG IT IS
21:35 i have a park near my home that has a popcorn stand that STILL sells popcorn in box that has alicorn rainbowdash on them lmao
Omg this unlocked my memoirs of being younger and seeing princess Celestia toys and always be suuuuper confused. I remember being like “that looks literally nothing like Celestia??? She’s borderline Pinkie Pie pink??? And her hair isn’t that color?? Like at all????” I would always double check the packaging to make sure it was Celestia and not a completely different character.
I had the Queen Crystaist pony mania doll, she was the bomb! She could talk, and her wings could flap. I remember opening up a window that over looks a city and made her say something evil. I felt so powerful
I had a busy book spike, and so did my best friend when we were younger. We had a play date one day and decided to cut their ear fin things off and feed them to him. Hence we dubbed the phrase: “well cut his ears off and feed him grass” We still quote it almost a decade later

As somebody who used to make non-traditional OCs, I always had to commission my own stuff.
People would be like just use the basic stuff in baton to it but I would just design it from scratch.
My brother was actually a pretty prominent person who would make the little models for people if they a commissioned him.
Sadly had to abandon it after a few people decided to pay half and then never pay the rest...:/
When you finally notice the earrings and know the reference they make … PERFECT FOR A CURSED MLP PRODUCT VIDEO 😂
As an owner of the original Rarity EG doll, I would like to point out that it didn’t have feet. I wanted to switch out the shoes only to realize it had these little ball numbs that connected directly to the boots. I also had some sort of twilight with wings you could press the get a voice line, and I don’t think I could get the shoes off to see what it had.
That's how Bratz dolls are too- they don't have feet either.
As an owner of the original Twilight and fluttershy EG dolls, the sound the shoes made when they got detached were the most satisfying thing little me could hear
@@rockhistoria2537kid me used to stim by repeatedly detaching and reattaching bratz doll feet lol
I had the Rainbow Dash one, and i remember HATING the ball feet pegs XD
Yeah, I had an older twilight doll, and she too had ball feet. I think my rainbow dash did too.
Actually, there are some pretty decent-looking MLP figurines sold in Japan that run with the whole "ponies-as-humans" concept
Kotobukiya! I don't know if I spelt it right but I am too poor for them. the scream i scrumpt when they made miku a pony though
ah kotobukiya? they do a lot of figurines of western media figures and characters. you may have heard of them making ‘sexy slasher movie character’ figures back in 3029 if I recall correctly?
@@pptenshi3900 bro lives in the future.
@@honeybelle1203 My goodness, I just went and googled that and those look FAR BETTER than everything Hasbro has attempted--even the little pony models too!
I saw these really great ones by bishoujo that I absolutely ADORE. They also did a Hatsune Miku pony one too apparently? Regardless they all look pretty good
I also forgot to mention the reason they make mlp merch so bad is the fact, companies thought that “toys are just for kids” and that kids would not noticed the difference between the show and merch. They mostly do it for easy money and didn’t seem to care about good quality. I was definitely one of those kids and looking back it all makes sense. 🤦♀
17:57 i think bishoujo figures made eqg so much more justice, they're absolutely gorgeous and have better human designs than what hasbro came up with
I wasn't ready for that pony thermos. That took me completely by surprise and I had to pause the video because I was doubling over in laughter 😂😂😂
2:54 I actually have the rainbow dash one. The reason they're so squre is because they are piggy banks! As for the eye color, i have no idea.
I love the auto captions trying to understand Izzy's accent. Yes she totally has a huge "sauce pot" for mlp merch.
My friend and I saw all those bootleg ponies with the terrified looking sad faces, and we lovingly refer to them as "My Little Worry". Because they look worried.
OH GOD THE RAINBOWDASH JAR EARRINGS, they r fabulous tbh
I remember there was a moment when the Equestria Girls dolls came out when I didn't generally have complaints, but I didn't like that they had cutie marks on their cheeks. I disliked it so much that I got my dad to help me write an email to some contact we found about how I didn't like it and how I had a better suggestion, which was that the dolls could have small stickers in their sets that girls could attach to their cheeks if they wanted to. A lady responded really nicely, saying that it was a good idea but she wasn't the one to send this suggestion to. She told us where to write about it but we would have had to write it in english (not our first language) so we procrastinated on it so long that in the end we never wrote there
back when g4 had just come out i was VERY upset that they had changed the designs of many of the g3 characters (i would've been about 8 when this happened). my dad suggested i write an email to hasbro about it so i did. multiple times. i remember one of them was literally just "dear hasbro, please make rarity pink again." unfortunately unlike you i never got a response from an actual person, i just got the auto-reply
27:44 They didn't mean to hurt anyone. . . All That is left of Pinky Dust is water under the bridge, They will never talk about Pinky Dust ever again
0:51 That Spike has seen some things
14:54 Those descriptions almost sound like something out of My Immortal, I love it.
Hasbro may have produced some weird and freaky mlp merch, Yet people seemed to buy it anyway. We may not fully understand why but it happens.
didn’t the MLP fan base die? I mean ever since the new show was released it seems like a lot of people just stppped talking about it
@@raventate0112 It died down a little bit after G5 came along, But it didn't die completely the fandom is still thriving on the internet, At least in terms of fan content because there are many mlp UA-camrs that are still active.
Consumerism.
@@raventate0112 Less active, but definitely not dead. r/mylittlepony is very active even now.
I'm pretty sure it's the fascination of it, but also the collector value. There's G1 ponies who have incredibly wrong colors due to factory error, or because it's a version released only in one market, and because it's rare it's worth a LOT as a collection piece. Usually if you see these pop up on eBay and it goes from some lower price and the price goes up a couple hundred dollars, it's because of that factor.
omg didnt realise you were wearing rainbow dash jar earings 💀
20:19 brings me back to that time i bought a mlp off-brand card pack while on a school trip and for absolutely no reason it had a bonus card with rainbow dash and fluttershy *_p8rn_* in it
not the rainbow dash jar earrings 😭
I cannot understate how much laughter the "Fashion Horse" brought me.
27:26 “my small pony”, honestly adorable
Smol pone
This whole video had me laughing but the bootlegs had me in tears. Especially the concerned ones those have left me inconsolable. Dear God were those hilarious
I was wheezing when she cut from the concerned apple jack to the spaced-out, bug-eyed ponies.
The juxtaposition killed me
I heard that Hasbro wanted Princess Celestia to be pink so they could sell a pink magical princess pony, but Lauren Faust fought to keep her design. I'm guessing that making Princess Celestia pink for her merchandise was how Hasbro still got their way. They believed that a pink princess would sell better because "Girls love pink!!!!" This is probably why Princess Cadence was officially designed as pink.
28:49 i feel for that toy, she looks terrified of the eldritch horrors next to her
She knows they're gonna turn her into one of them.
27:07 my cousin had that set, we used those wine glasses for legos because they fit perfectly to their hands 😭😅
Lolll 😂
3:30 "extremely thinned out hair and strange proportions" finally a plush I can relate to
Somewhere, at some point, a poor, _poor_ child was walking around with the backpack at 18:35, oblivious to the cursed knowledge 😭
In fact a lot of these examples seem to have weird Pinkie Pies in particular, maybe she was mass-produced more bc she was pink? I weirdly love the funko thing at 23:40 though, it looks so alien.
I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THE BACKPACK
BRO NAAAH
The moment I saw that backpack I went into fight or flight mode
Imagine seeing some poor kid with that irl 💀
duuuude just by seeing that image some of my cringiest brony memories of all time resurfaced 😭 someone PLEASE tell me this is a hoax
Oh no ó.ò
18:30 UM
SOMETHING TELLS ME THAT WHOEVER THREW THIS TOGETHER DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT MLP CULTURE
Yup, it was found at a shop in Indonesia and the vector was stolen from a DeviantArt user, but that's the world of bootleg merch for u
LMAO FR MY HEART DROPPED 😭
this video helped me confirm that the Celestia brushable talking pony toy from 2010 was actually the one i owned, i vividly remember those little hairclips and the shiny plastic on the wings
22:04 The spike in the top right corner is killing me. He just looks like he’s having a rough time.
He looks like he’s dying. Someone get him out of there
24:05 i think that's actually a tiny vice principal luna
17:20 I remember feeling like a genius getting my mum to look up the dolls so i could scan the necklaces for that dumb game
8:45 so the reason that toy looks like another toy wearing a twilight skin is because it is! It's a reskin if an existing toy by furreal friends called starlilly my magical unicorn. Starlilly looks so much cuter than the twilight version because the underlying structure was made specifically for her.
I used to have a starlily and she was also a little bit creepy at times but she was also wayyy cuter than this thing…
22:39 look at spike-
I gawkingly point at the screen every time Gen 3 material comes up. Like Gen 3 Rarity on the knockoff packaging and logos. I was that kid who was excited seeing boys and adults enjoying My Little Pony, because I used to enjoy it when I was little. I had the Hidden Treasure pony with the magnetic hoof and would always make two ponies touch hooves where the magnets were, because it felt like there was a force field like dome around the hoof.
We had VERY SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. I did the same thing with the magnet forcefield thing, and had both Rarity and Hidden Treasure! I moved into my own place for the first time recently, but I will never EVER let my parents throw away my beloved G3 pony collection
The color and style inaccuracies in Celestia's toys always bugged me even when I was little. I still don't understand why they could never get her right
I love the affectionate and amused attitude Izzy presents all they're videos with. It's way more enjoyable to listen to than exaggerated anger or scornful mockery.
22:34 now THAT spike has actually seen some real shit and can't wait for his suffering to end
I remember seeing the Interactive Twilight toy in stores, I was absolutely terrified of it
I have no memory of ever seeing that toy in stores, but I have seen a ton of other merch based off of the 2017 My Little Movie in my local Target and Wal-Mart.
22:52 TURN ON CAPTIONS AND READ IT 😭😭
WHAT THE-
15:45 I had this exact book as a kid and my Spike toy actually looked pretty good, but the Scootaloo one... It looked like it had seen some unseeable things
Sammeeeeeeee
