Scootalove 10,689 January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 (edited) I don't know, maybe Hasbro doesn't think that they will earn enough money just by adding a villain favorite along with King Sombra and I don't see why either. Besides, Hasbro doesn't sell villain toys. Edited January 23, 2014 by Scootalove Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockymoo 2,137 January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 Because the toys are meant to be sold to little girls. Ponies are pretty, villains aren't. Simple as that. 2 On 10/13/2013 at 6:59 PM, little gamie said: I'm fresh in school Hey, you. You should fill out my Johari Window if you're bored.

ReverseFaller 2,483 January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 I thought the whole purpose of My Little Pony was to sell toys. Where's my Discord toy, dang it? I hope Hasbro makes some Discord toys in the future. Hasbro does realize that there are a ton of adult men with credit cards who would probably buy these Sombra, and Discord toys right? 1 Credit for the signature goes to Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlight 7,286 January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 It's either because they're too costly to make, especially Discord, or like Rockymoo said, villains just aren't pretty to look at, pretty little pink horses are. matching setups with my bff pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowdashbrony1 130 January 23, 2014 Share January 23, 2014 Maybe with a 100% cooler attitude John Delancie goes to Hasbro studios dressed in Discord Chimera costume !

idonotreallycare 94 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 I think Funko wanted to make Discord, but the cost was too high... The toys (and show) are marketed towards little girls, so maybe Hasbro thinks they won't sell as well. There aren't even that many toys of male characters at all. They did make Chrysalis and NMM though, so there might be a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek0zoid 1,468 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 Because what little girl would want to buy a toy of a giant walking animal mish-mash or a dark, armored stallion that only knows how to say "CRYSTAAALLL?" I mean, if you put a Discord and a Pinkie Pie plush in front of my friend's little sister, who do you think she'd pick?The Pinkie Pie plush, of course. True, Discord and Sombra would be pretty cool, but they'd probably cost too much to make, and they wouldn't get the money back.

Latino Brony 6 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 Hasbro makes toys for little girls, that's why their toys aren't nice and don't even look like the original character (Have you seen EG dolls? ugly!! ) you think that little girls would buy toys of Discord or King Sombra? No, they want pretty ponies, not nice characters 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Fluffernutter 435 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 Hasbro probably thinks that little girls will get confused when they see a toy marketed as My Little Pony, even though it's a draconequus. There also may be a cost issue. As for Sombra, I don't think they want little girls buying toys of an evil tyrant that enslaved an entire civilization consisting of thousands of innocent ponies. The bronies would buy it though, so I don't see too much of a problem with that. Sombra would make a cool toy anyway. click here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smarts 1,622 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 I bet it is because Hasbro thinks that little girls won't care about Discord or Sombra because they aren't "pretty pink ponies". That and as everyone else is saying, the costs. They made Nightmare Moon and Chrysalis though, so maybe a Discord figure is possible. We will just have to see. IF is best girl.

SanityNotIncluded 335 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 Could you imagine the features for Sombra? Add ponies to your slave gangs with special little pony metal chains! Comes with a copy of gen 3.5 to make your family look like the ponies under Sombra's rule. Torture chamber sold seperately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid 1,327 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 Because Discord turned not-so-Discord and Sombra exploded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles 109 January 24, 2014 Share January 24, 2014 I hate to agree with the thought that they just are not girly enough. but that's most likely true. Hasbro like most big company's Like to play it as safe as they can. while I am not positive that little girls would reject the non girly pony toys it is perceived as to much of a risk.

DubWolf 17,263 January 25, 2014 Share January 25, 2014 King Sombra...just no! Aren't all the toys they have cute and adowabull ? What girl would want to comb King Sombra's dry retched mane? They'd be popular as toys if they were sold like action figures, or collectibles. Idk. Sig by Wolf, Handwriting by SparklingSwirls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon 4,557 January 25, 2014 Share January 25, 2014 Like others have said I imagine it's because girls aren't going to buy Sombra to cuddle with at night. As much as I'd love to believe Hasbro totally had me in mind when they came out with their stuffed animals they didn't. And sadly that means not getting all the characters we want in toy form and not getting the highest quality things (since kids don't care about their dolls being show accurate).

~Silver Essence~ 2,625 January 25, 2014 Share January 25, 2014 Keep in mind that they have to sell toys that would appeal to the demographic audience, which in this case happens to be littlw girls. But whether they would or not, my guess is that it will be sold along other ponies so it doesn't stick out too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningFlash 214 January 25, 2014 Share January 25, 2014 Well they are considered the bad guys, Hasbro probably just wants to sell toys which would appeal to the little girls demographic. Credit to Lunia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
