The final final Seibertron.com gallery galloping in from day one of New York Toy Fair 2015 concerns nothing of the Transformers sort, but has been marked - despite the neigh-sayers - as Hasbro's golden brand, the money maker, the heart warmer, the cutie bringer: My Little Pony! Site owner Seibertron has chosen to show us the new line, from themed sets to Equestria Girls, via soft toys, clothing, stationery and apparel - just click on any of the images below to view the gallery! A video can also be found after the images.

Those bike riding EG dolls look METAL AS HELL!

Also, those blind bag sized ponies with playsets are perfect for some show accurate dioramas!

Me liek!

and i thought those dolls were MLP's transforming to humans! LOL!

I'd love if they did that!

Er pray tell what this has to do with Transformers?

Nothing.

Which is why it's in the non-TF section, and says the following:

My daughter is really into My Little Pony plus MLP is a massive brand right now that rivals Transformers in popularity. I usually try to do Marvel and Star Wars as well but just didn't have time to do them yesterday.

Fair enough my bad, but then again a MLP/TF crossover would be interesting.

I'm not interested in Combiner Wars, but this? THIS I am. Great gallery, here. And oh man those mini-figures.

I came here for the comments. I am yet to be pleased.

They should totally do a TF-related episode like what Gainax did with Panty&Stocking.


Seriously.

Things of Nightmares.

Does this mean we will also be covering Star Wars and Marvel products in the toy fair? Those are Hasbro products too...I mean, if we, as a Transformers site are covering MLP I guess that would mean we are covering ALL Hasbro products.

Or are the MLP sites not reporting on this?

In the Non-TF forums is one thing, on the front page is another. I don't come to this site for Pony news, nor do I for Marvel or Star Wars news.

//two cents.

We usually do cover SW and Marvel, but this year it was impossible to do so.

See Ryan's post above.

To my knowledge we do not. Even so far as having to justify information concerning Death's Head as being originally a Transformers comic character.

Star Wars and Marvel at least have some products that have tied into Transformers.
So far MLP does not.

I just don't see why this should be on the news feed. It's not transformers news.

It isn't, but I said so. I was asked to post it by Ryan, so I posted. I doesn't harm anyone by being there, and it'll soon be off the front page in any case.

For the record though, MLP and Transformers do cross over several times with comics covers for SDCC, BotCon and other events. It's a Hasbro property, and these things are to be expected - especially with one that is raking in millions.

As for SW and Marvel - we covered it last year:

And for SDCC:

And NYCC 2013: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... nes/28558/

Also, because the show is damn good, and the Brony phenomenon, MLP is now a goldmine for Hasbro. Maybe you have to thank MLP for making Combiners Wars possible!

I stand corrected.

Alright. I'll just insert some generic Jontron reaction. They're pretty interchangeable.

Not in response to the franchise, obviously. I just can't stand Equestria Girls and how they fundamentally represent the exact opposite of the rest of the show, in my opinion.

Apart from that, I'm not really interested in the blind bag figures either. Unless they've magically increased ten-fold in quality since the last time I wasted my day away at TRU, sifting through blind bags to find the correct figures. But seeing what's going on in Transformers right now really makes me doubt an increase in quality anywhere.

Equestria Girls have improved a lot. The second movie, Rainbow rock is way better than the first and the dolls have improved significantly. I collect a few myself and some are FABULOUS!



Blind bags are still going on, but what is REALLY going on is the blind bag sized. "Collections" are sold directly as sets, many being unique mold of pretty show accurate characters. At the toyfair, they announced playsets to go with them. Show accurate playsets. Really awesome IMO.

Nothing changes what it is at it's core.

Nothing changes the horrifying design. Freakish, multi-colored, infant faced, monstrosities. Mattel does a good enough job of that already.

I'll give 'em credit to how hilarious they are though. I get a chuckle every time I pass by them at TRU.

I've noticed them, but I still run into the problem where they have characters jumbled up that I do or don't want (obvious marketing ploy) or that there's always at least one figure with sub-par paint in a set. I think I'll just stick to saving my money for the limited stuff from WLF. I've got too many hobbies.
