KillerKingBakudan 702 February 27, 2017 Share February 27, 2017 I didn't think anything of this "Cutie Mark Magic" line at first. I thought it was just a throwaway concept given that they've made goth-versions of the Mane Six that didn't reflect on anything from past seasons. But then I noticed these. Sunset Shimmer has never been in FIM before, yet Hasbro's putting out these new toys of her, as a pony, under the FIM brand and not Equestria Girls.Unless they're actually planning to make her a focus in the show, I have to wonder why they'd do this? The movies were intended to be standalone films. Regardless if they tied in with FIM, they weren't necessary for girls to see in order to enjoy the canon. If they saw either of these on store shelves, it's likely they wouldn't ask their parents to buy them since they wouldn't know who she is. But "Cutie Mark Magic" could be an overarching theme for Season 7 like Rainbow Power was for Season 4, hence the Rainbow Power toys. And for the inclusion of these new toys to make sense, it's reasonable that they'd want to reintroduce Sunset to their target audience, and in a big way. Maybe she'd have something to do with this "cutie mark magic" taking effect, covering herself, the Mane Six and other ponies with multiple cutie marks and amplifying their power?What do you think?

Shimmering Sparkler 67 February 27, 2017 Share February 27, 2017 Oh nonononono, sorry to tell you but you're sadly mistaken. Cutie Mark Magic was Hasbro's gimmick line from 2015. It's over now and the new toyline is the "reboot" toyline which is basically a reintroduction line with new molds which will lead directly into the movie toyline. Sorry to say but Cutie Mark Magic was only a toyline and never actually materialized into the show. As much as I would love Sunset to appear in the show it's not happening any time soon Follow my tumblr red-gem-wink.tumblr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerKingBakudan 702 February 27, 2017 Author Share February 27, 2017 Oh man… now I hate the Walgreens in my town! Letting me on by keeping old toys on their shelves like that. For shame. Hasbro too. Why they would put Sunset in a FIM toyline and not the show itself is beyond me. I don't want her to stay human! No questions asked.

FlareGun45 2,221 February 27, 2017 Share February 27, 2017 Sorry, she ain't appearing on the show. However, maybe in the EG specials she might turn back into a pony temporarily and visit Equestria! So there's that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,959 February 27, 2017 Share February 27, 2017 Nah the Cutie Mark magic toyline is old news by now and I doubt it means anything these days. Plus the show reformed Starlight just so they could have a Sunset like character without crossing over EQG and FIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,851 February 27, 2017 Share February 27, 2017 Last year at SDCC Megan McCarthy would not rule out Sunset Shimmer making an appearance in the main show. Both that and a Celestia episode question got a response that was a trailing 'maaaaaybeee'. Who knows, but I do think we may see the character in a guest role. But yeah, old toys are old. Season 5 feels like eons ago o.o 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight-Shimmer 151 February 27, 2017 Share February 27, 2017 I love EQG, its part of what got me hooked on the MLP series. Now that said, I hope Sunset STAYS in the human world with her friends. However, I ALSO hope she visits the world of her birth from time to time, especially to make up with Celestia Discord: "My name is Discord Draconequis, you killed my Fluttershy. Prepare to Die!"

Mesme Rize 15,683 February 27, 2017 Share February 27, 2017 To be honest, i wonder what would be the point of bringing sunset shimmer into the show. She can apologize yes, but then what? She pretty much learns everything in her universe and has her friends there anyway, If they bring her in, they would have to regress her character. Not to mention that we then have 8 Main characters since Starlight Glimmer is also one.

Not to mention that we then have 8 Main characters since Starlight Glimmer is also one. That's the thing, the human world isn't her universe. She feels homesick and wants to be in Equestria again. It's not specified for how long, but if it's only for a few episodes, she wouldn't be any more prominent than Trixie or Discord. There's plenty she can do in the show: readapting as a pony, catching up with Twilight, being a new friend for Starlight (as an added assignment) as well as Trixie, or maybe even helping with a new friendship problem.

Then you make Starlight Glimmer the one who has no point in the show, considering she is the pony who tries to readapt, who catches up with twilight, is a friend of trixie and helps with friendship problems. So yeah, nothing for Sunset Shimmer to do except for doing the same things Starlight does and that would be boring.

So yeah, nothing for Sunset Shimmer to do except for doing the same things Starlight does and that would be boring. No, because Starlight never left Equestria in a different body. She doesn't have to readapt to anything, and there's no catching up to be done. She also never assisted any of the Main Six with whatever job the map sent them on. Plus, Sunset's interactions with Trixie would be totally different since she has some history with her human counterpart. That already sets up a good lesson with learning to drop pre-conceived notions about others. Putting Sunset in the show would not make Starlight useless, or get repetitive or boring in any way.

Unlikeable Pony 2,698 February 28, 2017 Share February 28, 2017 No they just like selling toys and Sunset shimmer fans will buy pony versions of her too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,959 February 28, 2017 Share February 28, 2017 Well given the possibility of Starlight appearing in EQG due to her design being found yesterday, I think it would be fair that if potentially pony Starlight got to appear in one of specials, than Sunset should appear in an episode of season 7. If it is only for an episode, Sunset could reconcile with Celestia, which is needed for her character arc, and given their similar roles as characters, Sunset could play a mentor role towards Starlight. Plus Meghan did say not to leave a Celestia episode out of the table, and we are getting Celestial advice, and she did give a maybe to seeing Sunset at SDCC.
