Homura Akemi 974 June 3, 2012 Share June 3, 2012 (edited) I am not attempting to bash any character, but I wanted to know if anyone else agrees. I feel that Rainbow Dash is has too much merchandise. Not overrated, but overmarketed. I don't hate Rainbow Dash. Heck, she used to be my favorite before it became Twilight. The reason I say this is because a vast majority of marketing is focused on her. I get it - a rainbow pony. It's eye candy. I love rainbows! They're beautiful! However, I feel that other characters such as Rarity and Applejack need more spotlight. (A little Twilight, please, too. ) I'm just kind of tired of seeing her all over instead of some others. I was looking for a Pinkie Pie shirt the other day, and most of what was available was Rainbow Dash, so I ended up getting a Fluttershy shirt instead. Not a huge deal (first world problems), but something I'd mention. You don't have to agree, but I was wondering if anyone else wanted to see more merchandise of other characters. If you don't agree, that is okay. I will have nothing against you as long as you don't bash a simple thought. Broohoof!

Chigens and Kay 3,832 June 3, 2012 Share June 3, 2012 I agree bro. Would be cool to have a Rarity Wall Sticker or a shirt with her on it. It would be nice to see other characters in the spotlight. 1 My signature broke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homura Akemi 974 June 3, 2012 Author Share June 3, 2012 Pinkie Pie is the over marketed one, by far o.o ~ Kind of surprised. I don't see as much merchandise of her as RD or Fluttershy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haven Celestii 9,385 June 3, 2012 Share June 3, 2012 I see a lot of Rainbow Dash as well. Kinda annoying to see her that much, but that's cause I don't care for her much at all. Pinkie Pie is the over marketed one, by far o.o ~ Really? I don't see her much at all when it comes to stores. Online I see her a tad bit more, but still not as much as RD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Bloom 2,933 June 3, 2012 Share June 3, 2012 Pinkie Pie is the over marketed one, by far o.o ~ I agree with this. I see Pinkie Pie everywhere. But yeah, I think both Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash are over saturating the merchandise, but I think it's because they're the most popular and best selling among kids. I think that's why they discontinued the Fashion Style Rarity and Applejack. I think they just weren't selling as well as the others. 1 Signature by @Nico. Come join us for movies and more!

Ezio Auditore 702 June 3, 2012 Share June 3, 2012 I agree, Pinkie and RD are a bit overused in merchandising. I don't have a huge problem with it but other ponies deserve merchandise too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colon Leftbracket 971 June 3, 2012 Share June 3, 2012 Pinkie Pie is the over marketed one, by far o.o ~ Funny enough this is true! She's like the Mascot for MLPFIM and she's not even the Mane character (most of the time) Rainbow Dash seems to only be overmarketed when someone takes Bronies specifically into consideration. Like 90% of Hot Topic's bad shirt selection is about Rainbow Dash. --- I feel bad for poor Applejack though... she's the most undermarketed since Hasbro tends to forget her hat! 1 [New siggy in progress!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalonathan 46 June 3, 2012 Share June 3, 2012 (edited) I think she gets too much love. Personally I think she's a jerk and doesn't really represent her element of harmony. (also i just don't like her that much) But Pinkie Pie is the best and she deserves to be overmarketed :U Edited June 3, 2012 by JKonathan Whoops!

go away seb 367 June 3, 2012 Share June 3, 2012 Pinkie and RD are way overmarketed. Everypony else is undermarketed. I only found like 10 merch of ponies besides RD and Pinkz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavelColt 22,880 June 3, 2012 Share June 3, 2012 Rainbow and Pinkie are arguably the most stick-out characters of the bunch. pinkie is hyperactive to a fault, Rainbow is classic tomboy athletic girl. I do think they are over-marketed in comparison to everyone else, but it doesn't really bother me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyro pie 68 June 3, 2012 Share June 3, 2012 I completely agree with the Rainbow Dash thing, but I honestly haven't seen Pinkie being marketed nearly as much as RD. 2 "My granny shoots better than you!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkieShine 6 June 3, 2012 Share June 3, 2012 My favorite ponies are Pinkie, Twilight and then Applejack... and trying to find merchandise for the last two is crazy! I don't mind seeing as much Pinkie as I do, but I would like to see the others get some face time as well. All the ponies deserve to get some love too, but sometimes, it might just be where you are shopping and what the target market is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedove 47 June 4, 2012 Share June 4, 2012 Rainbow Dash is the plush everyone ask me to make, 5 to 1. Fluttershy is the least one ask for. I like Rarity and AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nah 3,182 June 4, 2012 Share June 4, 2012 (edited) Rainbow dash is kind of a symbol for bronies everywhere though... Sees product shown in fantasy situation: (I had to do that sorry) Rainbow Dash is a symbol of Bronies, why? She's tomboyish, lovable, athletic, and has a large amount of fans. Pinkie Pie is the over marketed one, by far o.o ~ Pinkie Pie is marketed by Hasbro, because she is Pink (stereotypically loved by girls), a bit girly, and cute.

Pinkazoid 3,493 July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 Well, when my favorite ponies are Rainbow Dash and Pinkie.... I see no problem in this but I guess other characters need a bit of the spotlight as well ..... like Rarity :3 1 :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PegasisterTaco 318 July 17, 2012 Share July 17, 2012 I have to agree that there is a lot of Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash stuff. This does not automatically make me a hater though. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash are like the symbols of Bronies. Though I also have to agree that the rest of the mane 6 need some attention too. Life is an adventure. An adventure of mistakes, accidents, and misunderstandings. That's what makes life life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
