Seriously Hasbro?

"Twilight Sparkle is hitting the road to visit her family in the Twilight Sparkle Wedding RC Car! Where are you planning to travel this holiday season?"

I'm very sure that at this point Hasbro is well aware of bronies, and that we are making them VERY RICH, I stopped believed that thing of the "intended audience", we buy more ponies than little girls!

 

The concept of the RC car is pretty sweet, and they ruined it, why do they have to make girly unatractive toys for MLP? I mean, why they cannot be more neutral? and on top of that the toys don't resemble the characters at all, and the car's controller has only 2 buttons? 

they have experience making RC cars before...

 

JesusCrist I hate Hasbro toys, I prefer the fake ones.

There's no such thing as cars in Equestria. XD

What the hell possessed them to make this? Their toys are garbage. I went to the store the other day and princess Luna was purple.

Srsly Hasbro.

Srsly Guise.

Stahp.

I just give up now when people say "LET'S MAKE A BROWNIE LINE HURR HURR GENDER NEUTRALITY". YOU invaded this show. YOU complain when they "cater" to you by plugging a certain character or a funny line or gag. And now, YOU WANT them to come back to the source of this whole show, the toys, and cater to you from the baseline? This community already makes enough of its own product to give Hasbro a run for its money. If you simply want the brony line so that you can say "yeah, I'm a brony so I break gender stereotypes and fight for what I love which is at heart a girly thing, but while you're at it Hasbro can you make it less girly becase I'm embarrassed to be a brony in public?" Then what's the damn point of being a brony if you're not willing to embrace the fact that this show is a show for little girls, that you have come upon? Imagine if you only open your brand-new house to friends and family, but suddenly a huge group of fat neckbeards come in, barf rainbows over how beautiful your house is, but then draw pictures of the house everywhere, be it haunted or make the door a nether orifice, and start demanding you fix the decor. Eventually, you give in and start fixing the decor, but then they complain that you fixed it and you're just giving in to them. Some of this take this thought way too far and ask you to make your house feng-shui, just because they think that they have control over you and that you open them with open arms. Then they ask you to start selling replicas of your furniture, but tone down the colours so that they don't feel embarrassed that they're essentially copying your house. In the beginning, it was really nice because they seemed polite and they drew pretty pictures of your house for you, but they quickly became demented, lazy, and rude. MLP:FiM is a house, people. It's a house open for the target demographic. Hasbro was nice enough to let you in and fix the decor a bit, but now you're complaining that they're not fitting your rules of gender neutrality!? If they toned down the girliness, what's the point of being a brony anymore? You've made your entire mission statement faulty by ruining the original product! Good for you, now move on to Littlest Pet Shop and complain it's mean towards furries. Go the heck on.

 

Some parts of this fandom, seriously. Learn to SIT THERE AND TAKE IT, because it's not your damned show. This fandom is famed for fanart, make some damned fanart.

 

The toys are not for you to play with. They are for the target demographic to play with. Transformers was made to sell the toys to little boys, but then Michael Bae happened. MLP was made to sell My Little Pony toys to little girls, but then Lauren Faust happened. Do you see girls cooped up in their basements with hordes of Transformers, and fanfiction where they ejaculate oil? Heck no! So shut the hell up and realize you're a brony because this show is girly. Keep it that way, or consequences will follow.

Hasbro makes some good beyblades, so id prefer that more then the fakes.

 

I think I should have been more specific... I hate MLP Hasbro toys, not Hasbro toys in general, I know hasbro makes some sweet ass toys. But, sorry not a fan of beyblade. 

 

I'm a bit confused how you control any RC car with only two buttons. Unless it's forward and backward, in which case I think they might've underestimated intelligence of little girls.

 

Actually I've had some of these cheap RC cars when I was a kid. The car moves in circles automatically and when you press one button is to move it fordward and the other one is to move it backwards, pretty lame in my opinion.

 

As an employee of Toys R Us, I can tell you that Hasbro is not completely incompetent, despite what many believe. They have lots of this girly girl nonsense, but then they have stuff like cool brony wallets as well, on the same shelves. Appealing to both audiences best they can. They could still improve on both fronts I think, but it's not like they expect bronies to grab every piece of merch they make.

reeeeeally?    can you steal take a picture of them to have a closer look.?

PREACH! Seriously though, read that post.

 

Anyway, it's a huge "controlling" attitude that this guy mentions in his post. If you don't like that kind of toy, why are you complaining about not wanting to buy it? You know, it's not as if there was an original family target audience or anything.

 

Besides, if you want stuff geared towards bronies, just buy the 3rd party products made for bronies, no need to make a huge deal over how girly Hasbro's MLP products are.

wow, this wallet looks pretty legit, I admit it, that I hardly believe that this wallet was made by Hasbro, especially because this looks very gender neutral, something completely different from the toys line and because it has Vinyl on it (a bg character and a brony favorite)

The toys are basically marketed mainly at little girls.  The toys were there WAY before the show, so the toys were just made for little girls still.  Even if they were marketed at boys I wouldn't probably buy any.  Target audiences you know.

[Homura Akemi 974]

That's hilarious. 

 

Shining Armour: Hey. Where's Twilight?

Twilight: *Jamming in the car to heavy rap with Spike in the driveway*

 

Hey. These toys are designed for children, so I don't mind.

Come at me, no you didn't :3 I've known about them for months, and got a Dashie one two weeks ago~

 

Vinyl, Dash and Zecora are the three images on them I've seen.
