I think the only semi annoying thing in the vid was that the Hasbro rep kept repeating that the toys were enjoyable for "little girls", even though she's more than well aware that the majority of buyers will be older females and males. I know it's not a big deal and i know the target age group are very young girls, but i think we've gotten past ignoring the majority fan base.
Meh, that's just me ranting. Ignore it. ^^;;;
But I'm soooooooo excited for that special pack of ponies!!! ^_______^ DJ, Nightmare, white Celestia, and Zecura! And I'm glad the rep stated a price. Now I know how much to put aside for it. ;P Also, i'm loving the shirts! I'm gonna have to nab me a Fluttershy one once they come to the west coast. :3 I'm short, so a child's L-XL fits me. :D
No. Older people liking little ponies is nothing new. The toyline is for little girls. Bronies don't need to constantly be acknowledged, even though they think that.
I do NOT want this business to shift away from little girls. They are still the MAJORITY of the fanbase.
No, no, I'm not saying bronies need to be acknowledged. In fact, we are acknowledged by the companies regardless. They used two fanon names for as their official names, after all. I'm saying why can't little boys around the same age group as the little girl target demographic enjoy the toys, too? Young boys like the show, too, and I think they'd like to know that it's okay to like to the toys. I've already had a number of young boys comment on my MLP vid asking if it was okay to be a brony and like the show. I find it sad that they have to question themselves like that. It's almost as if they feel as if they'd be ridiculed for liking the show.
Times are changing and I think Hasbro could at least say something like, "Kids can enjoy these toys", instead of just mentioning one gender.
Well, it's official now since they used it in the Equestria Girls video. I think there's legal issues with using fan names. Which is why they can't use Vinyl Scratch.
Clever Clover was the very first of the G2 line, the fandom went absolutely nuts for him when he was released. But yeah, haha, I loved Clover the Clever.

WAIT A MINUTE
she called her "DJ P0N3". Isn't that the FAN name?
THATS AWESOME.

Maybe she'll be unnamed in the package. I think there was a Rarity toy set that had an unnamed unicorn friend.

Poor Clever Clover :(
This video is ace, though. It's so much better than just the photos. God I would have died if I walked in and saw all those like that.

At least the show gave us a shout with "Clover The Clever"
