Re: How Pony is Formed: Production and Business Thread

I wonder how much of this was Bronies vs. kids and who likes RD vs Pinkie? And how many bought both?
And I wonder why they went with Pinkie and RD in the first place since Twilight is the lead character. Maybe because of their colors?
Picking Twilight as the third pony now - I guess they have to pick a unicorn and Rarity isn't as popular and rendering her mane ... Not for mass production

Edit: just checked Build-a-Bear's site, and yep, Pinkie is the #1 seller with RD at #5. They're the only licensed toys in the top 20, not to mention the most expensive. I notice Build-a-Bear has recently added Spongebob and Monsters Inc. lines. Wonder if that is due to the MLP success. I don't recall seeing any licensed stuff there before, but perhaps my memory is being selective.
There's Star Wars costumes for the bears. Disney Princess bear as a tie in is a bit of a stretch, and bears themselves are kind of a tired old standby - there are lots of other non customizable bears, but one RD in a Hot Dog costume.

Re: Sibs leaving DHX
Not the same as Sibs leaving Pony - being a fan is different than producing the show itself.
