Lost Profile 644 February 7, 2013 Share February 7, 2013 (edited) I'd still get some of the toys by Hasbro... But they all suck... The fan made toys are pricey... But they look 20% cooler Edited February 7, 2013 by villan97 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metemponychosis 1,262 February 7, 2013 Share February 7, 2013 I've bought toys from Hasbro. I like to think that this way I'm supporting the show... XD I'd like to buy stuff the fans made, like that Celestia, Luna and Shining Armor/Cadance... But I't be too expensive, seeing that in the country I live bronies are just a bunch of guys that don't produce this level of quality in the toys. 1 https://www.fimfiction.net/user/32864/Metemponychosis For dumb, self-important fics about mythology, ponies and fascist griffons that can't figure friendship out. And I'm just getting started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonic Revelations 8,835 February 7, 2013 Share February 7, 2013 Fan made, of course. I mean, do I even HAVE to say that Celestia is a beautiful majestic white, not pink? The toys look nothing like the ponies in the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow Dash 1,472 February 7, 2013 Share February 7, 2013 Fanmade is definatly better and if i knew where to buy them without a credit card i would buy them. I want to show my support for the fan base since i already have shirts and buttons with mlp characters on them. although i guess that isnt considered Hasbro. R.I.P.

Shining Wing 201 February 7, 2013 Share February 7, 2013 I mean, do I even HAVE to say that Celestia is a beautiful majestic white, not pink? They're making white Celestia toys now, surprisingly. I now want one. But, of course, I have no money to spend. I need more ponies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Angel 30 February 7, 2013 Share February 7, 2013 Hasbro~ Much cheaper, and I actually like their pony toys! (Dun duun DUUUUN!) Fanmades/customs are cool, though. But they're just too pricey for someone like me. :V Besides, I prefer making my own customs. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 February 7, 2013 Share February 7, 2013 Hasbro because, the customs could be so expensive as hell. I prefer Hasbro, because they made the toys. Customs are mostly good for controllers in video games, usually not for toys. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Flame 381 February 7, 2013 Share February 7, 2013 I buy and love both. The official toys aren't supposed to be super high quality anyway, because then kids would just break them. Besides, that way I support the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betez 1,734 February 7, 2013 Share February 7, 2013 Wow, I didn't know that fans made toys. I have a tendency to live under a rock. Anyway, the fan-made toys do look better. hasbro has some work to do.

Lady Leopardess 393 February 8, 2013 Share February 8, 2013 I mostly only buy hasbro stuff. I'm just not willing to fork over 40$ for a 2 inch custom blind bag and such. Also most of the plushes are also super expensive. Main fan thing I bought was cutie mark magnets and I bought a bunch was because they were incredibly powerful useful magnets. I am rather tempted to buy a Zecora plush though because that seems more difficult to make than the average pony and I don't think it's likely they'll ever make an official one.

CharmingKnight 24 February 8, 2013 Share February 8, 2013 I currently only have some Hasbro stuff. I don't mind the quality, but they forgot to put AJ in the "Pinkie Pie and Friends" set. Really Hasbro? Really?? Besides that most of the Hasbro stuff just looks. . .off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoaringSentinel 139 February 8, 2013 Share February 8, 2013 What is most important to me in buying any form of memorabelia is that the item in question resembles the source material. Hasbro's mlp junk doesn't resemble the show in the slightest. It's obvious hasbro doesnt care so why should they get any of my money, if i do decide to buy something then it'll be fan stuff not this hasbro garbage.

The rest with a little work could look exactly like the characters. They even have out the white celestia now. Just sayin' I"m not sure how anyone can say that " doesn't resemble the show in the slightest" when they're (except for celestia) usually the right color and cutie mark. Also the one fair way would be to compare fan made brushables to brushables hasbro made. Most of those fan made are sculpted hair. Which is a different material. Hasbro has always made brushable ponies. So why would they stop because certain fans are obsessed about their hair being identical to the show. most of those in the pictures that are fan made actually look more like statues , not toys . I think the glow in the darkness fits Zecora's character though. The only part that seemed lazy on hasbro's part was not completing the bracelet on her leg.

SoaringSentinel 139 February 8, 2013 Share February 8, 2013 I will fully admit that i havent seen the entire line of hasbro mlp toys but the ones i've seen in the toy stores here in the netherlands do not resemble the mlp fim show except maybe in color. The shape of the figurines (body propprtions, shape of heir parts) do not match the show. And that means i wont buy them.

Clawdeen 14,945 July 14, 2021 Share July 14, 2021 Definitely fanmade. Come across some beautifully made fan made toys over the years. Not only that I like to support my fellow fans 1 * Chazz. It.
