The 2015 SDCC Comic-Con MLP Exclusive Topic

[SaburoDaimando 1,196]

It's starting to get to that time of year again, even though we're only 2-3 months away from the San Diego Comic-Con.  Sure it may sound early to talk about the Comic-Con exclusive My Little Pony toy.  But on the other hand, we're learning more about Hasbro's Comic-Con exclusives(We know about the GI Joe figures and there's word that Hasbro will also release its first line of Force Awakens toys for this year's Comic-Con).

 

In 2012, we got the legendary Derpy Hooves figure.  Not only did that figure sell out like crazy, it sold out really fast when it finally went online.  I acquired one through a third party group.

 

In 2013, DJ Pon3(AKA Vinyl Scratch) joined the exclusive group with a Swarvoski crystal-encrusted figure(Later on, Twilight got a figure of her own with the same crystals).  I acquired two: One for me and one for a relative

 

In 2014, we got two exclusives.  The first was the Mane-Iac in Pony form with Spike the Dragon.  The second was an Equestria Girls version of the Mane-Iac.  As with the DJ Pon3, I got two Mane-Iacs(One for me and one for a relative) all while acquiring the Equestria Girls figure for myself(Ironically, it's my first Equestria Girls figure).

 

So what do you suppose we'll get this year?  Discord? Daring Do?  Starlight Glimmer?  Tirek?

I'm still holding out for Dr. Whooves. That was my guess for last year and I'm not changing it.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw more Power Ponies. It makes sense for a place like Comic-Con

We're already getting the Power Ponies in toy form later this year from Hasbro at various stores.  So that's a bit of a doubt.

I wish I could've gotten the SDCC exclusive Derpy and Vinyl (they're my two favorite characters) but I've never been to a con to get one, they're too expensive, and I don't buy things online, so I'm kinda shit outta luck ):

My guess as to what'll hit up SDCC this year? Ummmmm....hopefully somepony I could care less about, so I won't have to lust for it. Dr. Hooves, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, Big Mac,

It's gonna be Coco Pommel, brother.  Bank on it.

Seems the My Little Pony Facebook page is preparing for the day that the MLP Exclusive will be announced for Comic-Con.  Though there are hints that it may be an Equestria Girls toy.

Maybe it will be a Tirek figure- that would be awesome and would also fit well in the SDCC scene. Just a thought...

This isn't the official figure, but it seems Hasbro has teamed up with Major League Baseball and UCC Distributing to release a set of Pinkie Pie toys based on 6 Baseball teams

 

St. Louis Cardinals
Chicago Cubs
Boston Red Sox
Los Angeles Dodgers
Detroit Tigers
New York Yankees

Those are awesome! I wish they also did this for NHL teams

Oh if they did that, Pinkie Pie would have a few teeth knocked loose.

They're going to be an SDCC exclusive and they didn't make a Padres Pinkie Pie? Huge missed opportunity.

Yeah.  Big time.  I may get the New York Yankee Pinkie.  But I dunno about the others.

 

Anyway, since Comic-Con will come up next week, I wanna talk about the exclusives, plus some good news.

 

First up, the 4th MLP:FiM Exclusive succeed Derpy Hooves, DJ Pon-3 and the Mane-Iac: Pinkie "Chicken" Pie, which was seen on the Season 2 Nightmare Night episode.  Like DJ Pon-3 and MAne-Iac, Pinkie will cost $49.99

 

Second up, the Equestria Girls exclusive will be Science Twilight with Spike the Dog and a locker for all her science-y goodness.  She'll retail for $34.99.
