Why Are My Little Pony Toys So Inaccurate..?

My Little Pony toys are often inaccurate, and this can lead to frustration for pretty much everyone. I'll be discussing the design flaws in MLP toys and how they can lead to confusion.

[@EffMinus]

Hey y’all! Sorry this video took so long, I’m just kinda caught up in a lot of IRL stuff at the moment. (Also I may or may not be working on a couple hour length videos). Like I said in the video, I’m doing an AMA at 10k subs, so feel free to drop any questions you have!

The Luna ornament seems to be accurate because Luna's desing had slightly different colours in season 1 ep 1 than the rest of the show.

[@yo.hi..]

She was light blue not purple in tho show tho

[@goodnightohsleeplessone]

@@yo.hi.. I mean if you think of it as younger Luna it’s pretty accurate

[@taigatanfan_]

@@yo.hi..yeah it’s not a 1 on 1 perfect colour match, but she was still somehow a blueish purple colour mix. Pardon me I’m not good at describing colours. And most toys that due use her s1 design are pretty similar in terms of colours and design. So it’s fairly accurate. And we can’t expect all toys to be completely accurate down to the smallest details

[@yo.hi..]

@@taigatanfan_ yeah atleast she's more accurate than some of the other ones

[@derpyman3716]

Exactly what I thought lol

[@perfectharvestmlpstudios9152]

I’ve always been confused about the amount of inaccuracies in MLP toys, whether it’s pink Celestia, ponies randomly gaining or losing wings or horns, or the sheer number of figures with wall eyes! I have a Pony Life secret Rings Rainbow Dash figure that also just has red mane and tail - I call her Fire Dash! It’s ironic that other companies like Funko and even some gach-pon manufacturers give Dash her full rainbow colours when Hasbro can’t!

[@Boomrainbownuke9608]

its not that they cant its that they dont care. if they can make the process of toy production faster than they will no matter how many inaccuracies they end up making. it takes more time and money to make something accurate than just using a random mold and random colors.

[@Sunnydaze081]

I have a pony life mini derpy and her eyes were fixed

[@caffeinatedwolf9318]

Technically pink Celestia is kind of accurate, just a very wrong shade. As someone mentioned in another video/post you can tell a ponies coat color by their outlines. Rarity is meant to be white and has gray lines, Celestia has pale pink lines hinting her coat is meant to be a very light (almost white) shade of pink. This is made a tad more obvious I believe in Equestria girls alter, as she has a much pinker hue than Rarity

[@Mooms]

Pink Celestia was made because Hasbro thought pink sold better to girls. They gave Celestia her correct color once Cadance was introduced

[@YoungABBALover2046]

You're right about Rainbow Dash. I remember when I used to collect MLP toys when I was younger, Rainbow Dash always had a red, orange, yellow, and green mane, with a blue and purple tail in brushable figures, and I also remember seeing a toy of her with a red, orange, and yellow mane with a purple tail. Her blind bag figures always had red, orange, yellow and green mane, with a blue, purple, and red tail. A blind bag figure of her was missing green in her mane, and I also had a puzzle eraser of her where her hair was red, yellow, and blue.

[@yourmom66600]

Fun fact: The reason why Celestia was pink is because Hasbro felt that making her pink will sell more. That is until Princess Cadence came.

[@ohnocherry]

Cadence was also made exclusively to sell toys

[@NoLongerSpicey_]

The pink toys barely sold cos kids didn't like her being the wrong colour. So they had lots of Celestia bodies they couldn't use. ...oh, hello "Cadance is an alicorn but was going to be a unicorn!" Nice to see you!

[@aurasellsflowers]

There's some Princess Celestia toys that were still pink even after Princess Cadance was released according to @izzzyzzz

[@KalijahAnderson]

The Fluttershy with Pinkie's Mark actually fits with the episode Magical Mystery Cure. Fluttershy had Pinkie's mark for a while in that episode.

[@BeautifulBelladonna]

Maybe they were referencing that? It's more likely that this was a printing error

[@GummyDinosaursify]

There's a Pinkie Pie ornament from that year with the same design, so most likely they just forgot to swap out the cutie mark designs. Pretty sure I own this and it's got the correct cutiemark.

[@nightstar5251]

I saw the ornament at a friend’s house. It was hanging on their Christmas tree, and it had Pinkie Pie’s cutie mark, but another inaccuracy was that Fluttershy’s tail was the color of Pinkie Pie’s tail, but was styled correctly.

[@Blakbox92]

​@@Horgler Having been there back in 2011-2012, it was just a desperation for ANY kind of MLP merch. So anyone that didn't have the money for, or didn't want the fan creations just bought the blindbags or even the brushables (I remember a local comicbook store selling MLP brushables back in 2012, what a weird time). Everyone knew they sucked but that's all they had. I think 2013-2014 is when you started seeing nicer vinyl ponies and second party figures.

[@EffMinus]

great points

[@TheDanteEX]

It was probably easier to trademark Silver Spoon because nobody is selling toys of silver spoons lmao. There's probably a lot of diamond tiaras sold to little girls and toy snails and such. It's interesting that the name "Mrs. Cake" couldn't be trademarked, though.

[@YoungABBALover2046]

The Princess Luna ornament at 3:45 is based on her first appearance from the show. She appeared like that after she got turned back into Princess Luna after being Nightmare Moon for a long time. My mom also got me that ornament when I was in elementary school. 🌙

[@fandomcentralstation]

Honestly, it looks like Radiant Hope as an alicorn-

[@Dreamheart101]

It's still the wrong shade for the coat. Her coat in that form is more of a blue-ish purple rather than regular purple.

[@jillythebean123]

I mean it looks pretty accurate except her coat colour, it should be more blue than purple, but I think it's actually pretty good

[@Amanda-zn7ox]

The handful of "dazzle" ponies make me wonder if they're supposed to be like some sort of special edition ponies. Dazzle doesn't necessarily need to mean blinding, but more like a noticeable, attention-grabbing quality, whether physical or otherwise. Like, think of the term "bedazzled", which usually refers to physical shimmering and shining. It's kinda a "girly word" that has it's own definition independent of the standard English language. Think of it like a feminine Urban Dictionary.

[@EffMinus]

[@starlightmoonstone1260]

Ok but for me the biggest disappointment was the midnight sparkle doll. I watched friendship games as a kid and kinda thought it was the most boring one because I didn’t understand the whole threat with the Principal and high school and that stuff. But when midnight showed up, something grabbed my attention. It was fascinating to me how the main character who always saved the day was now the villain, how the magic that changed her into midnight was the same magic used for friendship, implying that it wasn’t good magic vs evil magic. It was how you used it. And finally, having Sunset be the one to help Twilight, to see that she was once where she was, was just the perfect thing to end her main character development. I saved up all the birthday money I had as a kid at that time and bought a midnight sparkle doll. And I was really upset that it wasn’t accurate. But, it was better than none so I still loved it. Now that I’m older, friendship games is my favorite one due to how relatable it is. Sci Twi is my 2nd top kin, and I feel like they didn’t give her arc enough attention. The new content coming out is just making her seem like a human version of pony twilight and she’s loosing all of the personality traits that she had in the original movies. And even though Legend of Everfree was my favorite one as a kid, it’s actually probably my 2nd least favorite one now due to how rushed the ending is. They hint the whole time that Midnight still exists but Sunset basically keeps telling Twilight to just ignore that. So that’s why I’m writing a fanfiction of an alternate universe ending…one where both Twilight and Sunset are actually forced to accept Midnight’s existence. 😁

I think the Dazzleization of some ponies’ names is a trademark thing. The ponies that have their names changed are named fairly common words and phrases like “Twist” or “Cup Cake”. So they alter the name a bit so it becomes more trademarkable.

[@EffMinus]

probably yeah

[@maloo897]

The thing with the names is all about Trademarking! They Will register characters with diferent name either because the show name is too generic to trademark(Snips & Snails) or because other company has the rights over using that name on toys, like how some Transformers have "Autobot" on the front of their names in the packaging (Hasbro even got mad that Mattel made a toy of the DC Bumblebee character because of naming shinanigans )

The Luna Ornament would have been nearly spot on if it was younger Luna, though the hair is a little too purple. Her hair in the show was a very pale blue with a whisper of purple, but if you just quickly glanced at it, it would have been blue.

[@mysticalmorpheus6784]

The first ponies you showed off are budget ponies so they lack a lot of details intentionally. The ponies after most of them were made before they even got a show counterpart. For example coconut cream was made into that toy in 2010-2011 that little Philly didn’t even show up until 2014ish. The tv team and toy team are not always on part. Some of the names like “daring do dazzle” were also added for Copyright on toys.

[@SphericalNervousSystem]

I’m not sure about the pony names, but I think it has something to do with translation, since it’s common for characters to be named something completely different in other countries. I guess they can’t be bothered to change the name of the packaging after. Or maybe it’s like a Simpsons thing where they made toys first before the show came out, and those are prototype names. I’m not sure I could be wrong.

[@maloo897]

It has to do with trademarking actually

[@memethyst]

if they used prototype names then some of the earlier toys wouldve been "twilight twinkle" or "apple blossom" i don't think it's prototype names

I live in Turkiye and in my childhood i bought a lot of MLP Magazines because they came up with their own toys. That is why most of the MLP toys i have are from those magazines. I have about 2 inaccurate toys that came up from those magazines plus 2 inaccurate toys that were gifted to me. Even tho these are not big deals but i still wanted to share nevertheless; 1- Princess Cadence's Cutie Mark In the toy i have, her cutie mark has little red dots even tho she normally doesn't. 2- Cheerilee's Cutie Mark I am not even sure if the toy is Cheerilee but the eye, mane and skin colour is the same so I'm gonna assume this toy is Cheerilee. Her canon cutie mark has 3 little daisies while this toy has one big smiling pink flower and two little purple flowers and a couple of leaves. 3- Discord's Leg Dot I remember being so happy that the maganize came up with a Discord Figure because that would be my first non-Pony figure from the Franchise but it came with a... BROWN DOT UP HIS LEG?!?! It looks so bad. So, Discord has one green leg, right? And up his leg, on the down part on his body is a big light-brown oval-shaped part. It is not paint because when you touch it you can feel its parts. It is so weird. I first thought it might be where they were gonna place the other leg since it has the same colour but who knows? Nevertheless I still want a new Discord toy :( 4- AJ's Cutie Mark. Ah, yes, an Apple Jack toy! Hardest to find among the Mane 6- no, hardest to find among the WHOLE FREAKING FRANCHISE! And guess what? It has only one apple as her cutie mark instead of three, and the freaking leaves are somehow red as well... I'm off....

[@amberliaa]

Türk bir fan bulmak güzel cidden

[@mulberry182]

toy production (from initial design to final toy) can actually take up to about 2 years in some cases, so my theory is a lot of the inaccuracies come from the fact that they changed something in the show after they finalized the toys. also, toy company executives have a lot of say in what comes out, and everything has to be what they think is “””marketable””” (ex. pink celestia)

[@aquaponieee]

In the Season 3 finale, where everyone's cutie marks were mixed up and swapped, Fluttershy had Pinkie Pie's cutie mark, so maybe that christmas toy was referencing that

[@alysaur3069]

The Luna Ornament is based off her design in her first apperance. After that, it was changed to the one you now know today. There is multiple merch of both designs. I also ,sadly, own that Twilight ornament along with a PINK Celestia doll Which always confused me AND MY PARENTS.

[@nostaldec4705]

The blind bag Coconut Cream was released years before she appeared as a filly on FiM.

[@trejon-graceshopkinzmake5186]

2:08 Yes, because the blind bag coconut cream came out in 2011 (if you need help getting accurate release dates for mlp toys the website strawberry reef is your friend) was based on her Gen 3 design, and of course doesn’t look identical to her Gen 3 design because this is generation 4 and characters are rarely going to look identical whether they’re an actual character in the show or a reference in merch. The show character coconut cream debuted in “Fame and Misfortune”, an episode which released 6 years later. 5:57 the definition of dazzle they’re using is right under; “amaze or overwhelm (someone) with a particular impressive quality” 3:49 this is obviously based on Luna’s original appearance from season 1 and is pretty accurate to it yet for whatever reason you’re comparing it to her redesign from season 2

[@SilverSpoonRiche]

0:27 Dude, I just picked up a set of these in Dollar General for $20. Dashes mane and tail is painted the most beautiful and accurate rainbow. I don't even like the character (and I hate Pony Life) but this figure is gorgeous! Twilight has the proper double stripes on her mane and one side of her tail and Applejack has her hair tie on her mane and tail painted red.

All the longer names for the cherecters are real in the series they just use shorter names or some nicnames usally.

[@lumity6269]

i once got a toy set w cadence, shining armor, and flurry heart but they all looked absolutely terrifying…. especially flurry…..

They did sunset so dirty😭- Like what the hell..

[@eringill6697]

Crazy that the guy who doesn't know what dazzle means is surprised that a toy company made cheap, off model toys for their cash grab.

I've always called Gusty, Canadian Pony.

The Luna ornament is explainable. That's her design from after she reverted from Nightmare Moon. There are quite a few Lunas like that.

Twilight Dazzle Sparkle ✨ Watching you sleep

[@grapegardens9923]

If I remember correctly, the reasoning for why some of the toys inexplicably have different names is because you can't copyright names that are just real words, so they have on tack on a last name for the legal team. Zero clue about Suri becoming "Buttonbelle", though.

I used to have a mlp plushie, it was pinkie pie…… but she had a horn and rainbow dashes cutie mark

3:45 That Luna is pretty accurate to all the other purple Luna toys Hasbro and China have given us. I'd take it, gladly.

[@pipecleaner8526]

I have a pinkie pie equestria girl who is beige like a human skintone and not pink like she's supposed to be it is so unsettling

[@night4138]

2:41 pretty sure that toy model of Coconut Cream is made from the same mold of Applejack based on the mane and tail shape and how the tail looks like it has a tie in it

[@GoosefieldYT]

3:49 i think this is based off that scene where luna was reformed in episode one and still kinda looked like a filly

[@lorelaimorace-kk1xz]

yeah i remember that

[@wallowlight]

erm. twilight is objectively best character

and other jokes to tell yourself

[@miZ_dream]

I absolutely did not expect you to go "I actually know a couple people who look like this." Couldn't help but laugh out loud lmao.

[@bluefox8011]

It's toys for kids, low accuracy effort on the toy production as children are easily entertained and don't care about details. Although I'm sure after G4 was released and Bronies became a thing the company (possibly) might have considered making the details more accurate to the show. (I didn't know about the show back when it was popular as I was too poor to even afford internet at the time.) Only recently learned of it because of Netflix a few years ago now.

Fun fact: It was Tara Strong's 50th birthday yesterday!

Hair inaccuracies are what got me into custom painting. Acrylics and nail polish are fun to use on the mini-figures. Edit: It turns out that clear nail polish yellows over time. Acrylics and polyurethane satin varnish are fun to use on the mini-figures.

[@pastelskies99]

that coconut cream figure came out way before fame and misfortune

[@tuja9089]

If you want a well-made pony Compatible with the original , the best option is to order it from a fan who makes, for example, figurines or stuffed animals They will be much more expensive for sure, but hey, at least they won't hurt your eyes

[@Mal_Productions_Was_Taken]

"If you have bad opinions maybe fluttershy-" Nope, that's it, I'm crying in the box of shame.

[@kacperyt2980]

3:45 this Luna is actually very accurate, she is based on her original look from season 1, no look from season 2 to 9

[@OrangesXx]

The toys legit came first 💀

[@iamaperson5729]

This is just a bit of nitpicking with two of the examples you gave since I’m way too invested in this franchise: with Coconut Cream her design from the blind bag seems to pre-date her in-show design. Princess Luna’s ornament is based off her pilot design which even by that metric it’s still slightly off color wise, but still makes more sense than compared to her S2 design. On the names: Copyright I think is the bigger reason for the random name changes, even in the early days of development they were worried names like Firefly, Twilight, and Selena would run them into legal troubles, so they changed the names or even the entire characters. So it’s either that or to be a bit more eye-grabbing for kids (hence throwing in dazzle into a lot of the names).

[@Avipoppy]

3:44 ok I think this one may be a reference to her original design which was showcased directly after she de-transforms for nightmare moon, and for a couple seasons onward, before her design that we all know today came to be, showing how she’d matured. Plus, she gained the flowy moving hair (which must’ve been a ‘nightmare’ to animate) haha
