Well in the show they have the cutie marks on both sides, so you can tell who they are ( I know the characters by heart) but I think they are being lazy or sticking with their original plans. Maybe the blank flank is used for something else???
I'd buy the toys if they looked more like the show. One of each pony to line 'em up. I've currently purchased a fan-made plush, a couple shirts and some posters, but the official toys just aren't my cup of tea.
Because Hasbro. ...seriously, I'm pretty sure the big wigs at Hasbro just sit around thinking up ways to mess with us. Actually, what am I thinking, of course they don't do that! They pay someone else to do it. :derpe:
The only toys I'll buy is the Funko ones. So far I've gotten the Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy models. I refuse to spend any money on a pony with a brushable mane.
I am hoping to get a decent collection of MLP merch over the summer, I just need to find the best place to get them.
I have 4 brushables, 2 McDonalds and 6 minifigs. I love collecting things so I buy MLP toys every once and awhile.
