Wat

They're trollin', but at least they're not hatin'. Hasbro has given us lots of subtle nods in some of the merchandise, so I guess they figured it was time to troll us in such a way that only we would pick up on it.

I agree with the title. Wat. I guess it's true that this is just set to piss us off. They should be aware that if they are not trying to troll us, They would loose a damn lot of money and with lack of money they will cancel the show, And canceling the show means they will die.

Second time Ive found something like this... Like wtf Hasbro? Really... What the buck guys?

 

What do you expect? They gave us exactly what we wanted, and all they got was a bunch of people screaming "ABELISTS FUCKING CIS SCUM IGNORANCE YOU ARE MAKING FUN OF THE DISABLED YOU ARE BAD PEOPLE."

 

So yeah, they get to rub our collective noses in it a bit by purposefully distancing her from any kind of fanon.

Haha, what the heck - this is definitely meant as a joke, there's no way Hasbro would seriously do something like this. Why would they rename Derpy twice? "Prefers not to use the mail" is obviously the polar opposite of being the mailmare, too.

 

Then again, this might be Derpy's evil twin...

I frequently edit my new posts to fix grammatical errors or to reword stuff, so sorry if I make it look like I'm forging my messages to change the meaning of anyone's replies or something.

I don´t know if someone pointed it out, but are you sure it´s not a fake one? Because I think it is. After all, the art is a recolored RD..

You're probably right...

 

I stand by my previous statement, though. I wouldn't be surprised if Hasbro were to distance themselves from the fandom over our silly drama moments at some point.

I'm pretty sure whoever keeps making obvious mistakes like these is someone who really hates their job. Tasked with making a Derpy description? Looks up everything they can on her and then purposely get it all wrong. Not the worst thing they've screwed yet...

Yeaaaa, and theres another reason why I shall not be buying toys like this anytime in the near future unless it is literally for someone else.

 

Seriously, bubbles? The best thing you could come up with? IT DOESN'T EVEN FIT IN WITH THE OTHER NAMES! :angry:

Unfortunately, recoloured art is used all the time on the toy packaging. Blossomforth here is just a recolour of Rainbow/Fluttershy's blind bag vector.

 

That being said, I'd like to see where the OP got the original image. If it's real, looks like they're really going out of their way to change Derpy -_- Although Hasbro has never been quite all there with merch for G4 (the Fluttershy blind bag fiasco, anyone?), so I wouldn't be surprised if it was completely accidental!

Post thoughts below

 

Made in China... Hm, go figure.

 

To be serious, though, the toys don't have cutie marks on both sides, like the show, and many of the facts about he toys are different than from the show. So the two are set in different universes... Let the toys be as they are, and stick with the show.

Heehee, yeah you guys got trolled hard. That's a total photoshop, and you can tell because the fonts aren't right, and the art isn't the cookie cutter style that they have on the back of each package. Just look! Each pony is just a recolor of a base line art and only the colors change. Hasbroken has never been one to change up their basic line of toys' art style just on a whim. Heehee...good troll though. Nice chop job.

Bubbles? The sheer lack of creativity oozing out of Hasbro's flank right now is making me eyes bleed.

 

But, then again, the toys are like the mentally handicapped younger brother of the show, and I learned this along with everyone else quite some time ago. Shouldn't be expecting much in the first place.

 

But Bubbles? Really?

I'd be more than happy with a Derpy brushable, even if they did have to rename her to something as lame as Bubbles. She will still be Derpy.

 

Hasbro actually loves Derpy. That's why she was the 2012 special pony at Comic Con. They just got in huge trouble when she was put on TV. Derpy is dangerous - the only way they can get around to making Derpy merchandise is through subtlety.

Also, it's fake.

Actually, Bubbles is a member of the original 1980s crew of ponies. She was one of two sitting ponies Hasbro ever made, making her rather sought after by collectors of the vintage toys. I wouldn't be surprised if Derpy's cutie mark was inspired by dear little Bubbles here. If they DO ever rename her officially to Bubbles, I don't think it would necessarily be a bad thing, but a subtle nod to the old days of MLP. In fact, it's not something unusual for Hasbro. Applejack was from the 80's as I'm sure you know, and they revived her in the new series, and did so in the G3 generation as well (but she was red with a green apple cutiemark.) They've done it several times in fact, in both the toy line and now in the TV show too. :) (Cherries Jubilee, anyone? :D)
