Does anyone here actually collect the hasbro mlp toys at all? i bought a couple and they are fairly cute but none of them compare to the fan made toys that i've seen. The best merch i've seen really is the funko vinyl figures.

Nope. The Hasbro ones aren't the best, in my opinion. They look a bit creepy to me, and most of them aren't even show accurate. I agree with the fan made toys being better. Especially the plushies. :3

 

I would probably get my own merch, but I feel like my family would think I'm weird. :P

Well, I do have some of the G4 Hasbro ponies because I saw some at a store once. I don't plan on getting anymore, though, because I'm not a collector or anything. I have Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Cheerilee.

 

Although, I do currently collect G1 toys, they're just so pretty...  :please:

They are really odd their bodies just don't look right :/

I have a pretty sweet flutterbat plush that isn't hasbro lisenced

I also don't get why the rainbowfy random ponies like holly dash for example XD

G1 are just classics and have been made in even more in demand since G4

I don't really collect any toys in general (at least, not yet...) but the fanmade ones, though a bit pricier, look more appealing to me (not a fan of the Hasbro toy designs...) I may get a Fluttershy one, provided it looks close enough to her appearance in the show :)

The hair is always awful on them Rarity wasn't impressed by the state of her mane when I finally managed to unpackage her.. Nor does she understand why she has gained pink and yellow highlights or have starry tatoos up her flank :S

I've got two of them. One is Rarity (pretty much had to buy it) the other is Trixie, which was given to me as a gift. 

 

 

I'd really like some of the Funko ones though

in the box or out? mine are in at the minute but the price is on it and i can't remove it without damaging it :/

In the box, that is where I keep mine, but I collect toys of all kinds, have been since the 90's so I have thousands of toys and cards of all kinds.

I like collecting official hasbro merch. I would think though techincally the companies like funko and the other well known ones are techincally are official merch too most likely if they're paying royalites and such or were contracte by Hasbro to make their products. But I really like the brushable ponies and such.

I do. Fanmade stuff is expensive and hard to come by.  I don't have anything fanmade because of that reason. Of my 15 Fluttershy figurines about two thirds of them are Hasbro brushables or other Hasbro vinyl/PVC figures. The rest are either Funko, McDonalds  or another 3rd party distributor/manufacturer. I also have a plethora of plushies, but none of them are "Hasbro"

 

Also, if Hasbro didn't give the license to other companies, we probably wouldn't have all the other nice merch we have available. So, technically speaking, even stuff like Funko, NICI and TY and 4DE are all considered Hasbro merch, to an extent.

I guess the funko collectibles are called "figures" and not toys, but whatever. I'd feel pretty dorky arguing "these are collectible figures". Toys. Figures. What's the difference?

I guess those two McDonald's ones are straight up, no debate toys.

I used to have a Celestia figure that I found in the yard of an empty apartment in my complex. I felt kind of dirty having it in my possession, so I gave it to my mom to give to her neighbor's granddaughter.

 

I think it was the blind bag Celestia. Kind of wish I still had it, but still I wasn't quite into MLP then.

 

I cannot comment on the past generations, but I think the G4 toys are awful. What is the point it you're just going to half ass them?

I would get some merch (not hasbro stuff based on what I've heard) but I don't want my family to find out about me being a brony.

Being a brony is nothing to be embarassed about you should just tell them :) there's a lot of worse things you could be doing then watching an adorable cartoon.

I know that but what you must know is I'm VERY shy. And I have no clue how they would react. No matter how much I want this one RD t shirt :P
