This came across my Facebook feed from Ashen's fan page, May Celestia have mercy on us(the felt "coat" is a nice idea though, maybe Hasbro needs to use that idea and make some "premium" BBs)

Is it wrong I actually like the look of it more when it was burnt? There was a whole Terminator thing going on I swear. Also... What the hell does he want with the gem?!

And all they really need to do to get some positive attention from me is to make one that ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE FLUTTERSHY.

 

Lookin' at you, Hasbro.

......I'm slightly concerned for people like this. Why did he have to burn it? waste of money one and two, what would he use the gem for? LOL

 

According the bag those are real Swarovski crystal, which can be worth a little bit to people who make jewelry(I know this because I had a friend to was really into using them on her stuff) 

 

As for the burning, it's a running gag, he reviews blind bags of different toys and burns the ones that he doesn't like(or sells them if they're worth money) All of them are either donations form people that wanted to see them torn into to, or one's he got on sale for like $1. The ones he likes get put on the shelf of interesting things.  Here's a vid of one that made it:

They will actually if you look up the Toy Show/trade show thing the new 3 figurine sets will have an accurate fluttershy.

Personally I thought those filly blind bag knock offs were really cute and nicely made.

AT LAST!!! It's about friggin' time. It frustrated me so much that every member of the main six had a mold except Flutters.

"Filly" is something like the German My Little Pony. It's hard to find any FIM merchandising, especially Blind bags, here, while virtually every toy store sells Filly, but only a selected few have My Little Pony on stock. I searched for months until finally finding a store selling blind bags. Even Toy'r'us only recently started to sell blind bags.

The more we burn the less there will be, but then again, that's probably only found in American 99 cent stores

That''s just Ashens, He burns a lot of the cheap toys that don't make the cut, it's pretty much the point of the series, the bad toys get burned, and good ones get put on the shelf of interesting items. He does other things to, he's the one that made Pop-Stations infamous with his "Pop-station watch" series:

 

He also appears on TGWTG on rare occasions.

Yeah I think these have been around for longer than blindbag ponies. They may possibly be more inspired by the G3/3.5 Ponyville figurines...Although, a number of toy companies do the cheap 'blindbag' toys, and fantasy ponies are barely an exclusively Hasbro thing. I think they're kinda cute and I like that they have flocking too, but I don't think I would spend money on them!
