Top 5 Most Inaccurate MLP Toys Ever 

Bruh I don’t know what’s going on but congratulations. It looks like the MLP fandom is like regrowing from the ashes or something

The reason why spike toys were quadrapeds in the early days was because when Laura Faust first designed Spike he was on all fours. So the toy manufacturers took the design of the four legged spike and ran with it until they got their money's worth and the parents started complaining due to the lack of show accuracy. This is also the reason why celestia was pink until the movie toys and gen 4.5

To be fair, Princess Celestia technically isn't white. She's actually a very light shade of pink. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

The fact that they did multiple Trixie lulamoons that were recolours of twilight and rarity… the great and powerful Trixie deserved better

Take this with a grain of salt, because I don't know if I remember it right, but pink Celestia wasn't really a success, because the kids didn't liked that it wasn't accurate, that's why they made Cadence an alicorn instead of a unicorn, so they could use their failed attempt for something and it worked out better for it.

I have no idea why, but something tells me that the toy designers were given early concept art to work with and not the finished version or updated concept art. Given that it’s “toy series first; show second” it wouldn’t be surprising if the toys are made ahead of time before the show airs another season. Hence maybe why the sirens are depicted as ponies, since they may have been planned to be like Sunset Shimmer (or at least have pony forms) before they were changed; sapphire shores is nothing like how she’s supposed to be; spike being on all fours instead of being bipedal, and so on. Not sure about Celestia or Applejack. For Celestia, it could have been Hasbro or the toy creators stepping in to tap into the “research” on what color kids would be attracted to more, as theorized by many. For applejack, maybe they struggled to get the hat right, or thought that kids wouldn’t like the hat, and thus, kept it out of other designs (hence why it doesn’t exist on toys that *aren’t* recolors).

There was also that one point in time where the Fluttershy mini figure was just a recolor of the Rainbow Dash mold

About Spike: I believe in “Feeling Pinkie Keen” when the ponies are running from the hydra, Spike is running on all fours on top of a branch. I’ve not watched the episode in a looong time, however. I would also assume Spike being on all fours was so he would stand up better. Most bipedal dolls have trouble standing up, after all

The weird thing about the original pony sirens is that they're NOT earth ponies, they have the same fairy wings that the Dazzlings have after they transform in Welcome to the Show. My headcanon has always been that that's what they'd look like if they returned to the pony world after having their necklaces broken.

Fun fact: Celestia is a pink-ish shade of white

This was a fun one. Some of these I'd never heard of, like pony versions of the Sirens. Maybe they could disguise themselves when in Equestria?

If you're planning on making a part 2, may I suggest the Twinkle Shine brushable figure? It's crazy how different she looks from her show counterpart, I like to think she's a completely different pony who just so happens to share a name with the one from the show xd

I remember being a small girl, literally the target audience for the toys, and I was super confused when seeing Celestia all pink. I thought it was weird and looked way worse than her canon appearance. So idk why they would think recolouring her would be better

They probably made Spike stay on all 4s because that`s how he originally looked like according to the show bible (look it up if you haven`t seen the concept art by now). The first ever g4 toy set included that spike mold Most probably, the figure was based off the concept art and didn`t bother changing it right away lol

I must be really deep into MLP trivia (regarding the brand) because I was like "Who is that pony... wait, wasn't that the innacurate Sapphire Shores pony?"

I used to have a lot of those mlp mini figures like that Twilight Sapphire Shores. Some of these mlp mini figures where coming in a box like a collection of three. And two of those where actually more accurate to the series which I was glad to have.

imo 'MLP fan series' toy lines is the best one produced yet due to its 1:1 accurate design to the respective characters.

Blue hat AJ is such a weird choice, she isn’t even wearing her hat in the box so the argument of blue selling better doesn’t really make any sense.

1:34 i remember this box art and I always thought they looked so cool :')

The applejack thing bothers me a lot, why would they remove the hat?? It's so iconic

I think that’s why I stoped collecting the mystery bags so fast. They all look the same.

for the dazzlings, what i want to believe is that when their pendants were destroyed, their equestrian counterparts became just average ponies with music-related cutie marks since their inherent magical abilities were solely tied to those amulets. no idea what is or isn't considered canon, but that's what i'm choosing to tell myself since i refuse to believe there's another plot hole worse than the entirety of the apple family

The pink princess Celestia toys always irritated me. I never bought any of the pink Celestia toys solely because of that! Also, the applejack thing bothered me too. Could’ve at least made the hat a colour closer to brown….where did blue even come from?! Great video :)

I remember Sapphire Shores, babeh! I liked how most of the pop stars and celebs in Equestria were Earth Ponies. And I LOVE how cute EP Sonata Dusk is! I have kinna a soft spot for EPs. Speaking of which, The Silver Spoon Minifig (blindbag size) can either have purple eyes (accurate) if you get her with Twist-A-Loo (back to that in a moment) and Cheerilee set, but if you get her with Diamond Dazzle Tiara (I'll deal with you later!) with the Mane6 and others in the Walmart Exclusive multi-set then Silver's eyes will be pink. This never fails and was never corrected. Twist-a-loo was never a name uttered in the show and neither was Diamond DAZZLE Tiara. Twist (as she is accurately named) has her minifig looking to opposite sides of her face. Hasbro had a weird habit of naming their toys differently from the show characters. Bon Bon and The Pony Formerly Known as Derpy are the most egregious examples. Bon Bon was named Sweetie Drops (why? DON'T KNOW) and the "official" name was not recognized until the slice-of-life episode where we learned Bon Bon is a cover for Agent Sweetie Drops. Derpy "Muffins" is ONLY represented by a picture of a muffin. Hence the Pony Formerly Known as Derpy title I gave her.

It's weird how Hasbro Prioritized toys over the show But I have never been into collection MLP toys and always been into memorizing every single line from the show

When rainbow rocks was still relevant I was in 6th grade so it was still KIND OF acceptable to have dolls at that age, and I remember having my mom take me to Toys R Us to get dolls of the dazzlings and I remember being so amazed by the regular pony artwork on the boxes so I kept the box to the double pack and the adagio box & still have them

Hasbro has a bigger reputation of having inaccurate toys rather than anything else

For spike I think part of him being on 4 legs is for balance reasons. It’s easier for a figure to stand up with more support distribution. But that’s just my two cents!

Fun fact: we actually do see Spike on all fours a few times in the show! Example: "Feeling Pinkie Keen" ~15:27; "Hurricane Fluttershy" ~13:10 Though it's literally like a few seconds combined so your point still stands lol

Honestly when I was a Kid I always got mad at the Toy company 😒 for getting the Colors of the characters wrong 😑

2:35 I didn't know that there was a toy that actually depicted her with a Cutie Mark! I actually wrote a story years ago about the CMC's helping Sapphire get her Cutie Mark, and I had to invent one for her (I came up with a dolphin wearing the headdress that Rarity made for her in Season 4).

i think Luna is the worst. she was my favourite as a kid (still is) but there were barely any show accurate toys of her. they made her purple with blue, pink and purple hair when in the show shes blue and has blue hair.

damn, that HORRIBLE pink Celestia brings me back xDDD I also remember when the first line of G4 ponies were all either Rainbow Dash or Twilight models with different colors, what a cheap stinky merch the show used to have

1:00 Celestia is actually a shade of very pale pink in the show, and she was intended to be pink at the begining. Edit: Most of the blind bags were randomly coloured and named, so the name was re-used in the show. Hasbro gave the animators a list of "usable names" they could use and its likely names were either shared on the list, or something else. This is how Lickidy Splits, Dusty and Firefly's names got re-used, they were in the list of possible names Hasbro supplied them for use and thus they were used. These were G1 pony names so Hasbro could get away with re-using them easily.

Oh God poor spike ;-;

Bruh you are a great RU-vidr! I hope you reach 1k soon!

2:40 Hello there, I actually have that figure, and I can confirm that she has a seashell cm

Another awesome video, definitely excited to see more uploads from you man 💯. One thing that's similar to Applejack toys lacking hats is costumes of Applejack on irl stage/musical performances also lacking her hat. Honestly a bit of an odd phenomenon if you think about it.

I also noticed that shadowbolts in friend ship games toyline Didn't have the pony counterparts on the box like the dazzlings would. Same with Gloriousa Daisy, who didn't get her pony counterpart either

I can’t wait to see your channel grow dude! Keep up the awesome content!

1:05 That looks a lot more like princess cadance

The toy version for Princess Luna always makes her purple instead of her dark blue colour in the show

Actually the Reason for spike i thing is based on a concep art made by lauren faust of spike was in 4 legs and hasbro was so lazy to change the mold

I love the fact that mlp fandom is still up and strong ❤ chrysalis will forever be my favorite pony

0:46 I had a pink Celestia once, I think I still have that one around, either that or my sister may have kept it with her when she moved out.

Ok here are a few I noticed in the brushable figures ... First Twilight's mane in the toys. Her hair is dark blue with pink and purple highlights.... Like why did they make her hair in the toys pink and purple? Probably just to appeal to little girls... Another one is princess Luna... WHY IS SHE PURPLE?!? There is also rainbow dash which doesn't have the full rainbow in her mane..? I never understood why. I feel robbed. Also Fluttershy's eyes later on are really weird ... Flower wishes at one point was a pegasus????? And princess Skystar is crosseyed. These are just a few. I think Hasbro is drunk....

0:08 I HAD THAT WHEN I WAS A CHILDDDD!!!! I GOT IT FROM SAVERS THX FOR BRINGING BACK MY CHILDHOOD ITS SO NOSTALGIC

0:54 the fact we never got a red pony was a crime

I really like where this channel is going. I hope you do good in the future!

i have a white princess celestia but her wings fade to purple

i love your channel so much man!

This isn’t exactly a toy inaccuracy but I find the ponies packaged with dvds very funny.. especially this twilight I got at everfree new last year..she was packaged with applebuck season? I understand the background ponies like Lyra packaged with random episodes cause yknow there wasn’t a standout episode with them in it yet, (ex:Lyra packaged with lesson zero) I also like the rainbow dash, Fluttershy, Twilight, and pinkie packaged with the super cider squeezy 6000 with no applejack in sight lol

spike originally was supposed to be on all 4. They changed that pretty late into developement, companies are given reference sheets for characters way before the show premieres so they can release them at the same time as the show releases, many companies probably got that old reference sheet because of that.

When I was a kid I was so angry at the pink Celestia lol I hated pink

Spike on all fours is based on concept art from the show, Spike was originally going to walk on all fours most of the time and sometimes stand up on two legs.

Holy f- You got a LOT more subscribers in under a week following this video. Congratulations!

Every single Twilight toy is a completely different color scheme than her, except for her first G5 figure and the redesigned Equestria Girls. For the record: Coat: lavender on show, magenta on toys Hair: dark blue with violet and rose streaks on show, equally pink and violet on toys Eyes: violet on show, medium-to-light purple on toys

hope you get a ton of subscribers, this is great content

I find some of these really funny. Because not only are the choices so..needless? In most cases- But even I'm cases where a choice was needed- They could have made a BETTER one. Like the Saffire Shores. She's a yellow earth pony with poofy hair. If you don't want to make a new mold for her- Use Pinkiepie. The earth pony with poofy hair. The coloring is still a miss, but honestly could have been overlooked had she at least been still-an earth pony with poofy hair. Pink Celestia was likely because Hasbro thought a pink princess would sell better with girls (hense why she suddenly became white in toys AFTER Princess Cadance was introduced. An ACTUAL pink princess.) But like. Little girls don't want needlessly pink ponies. We wanted PRINCESS CELESTIA. Even as a kid I was so annoyed by her not being accurate. Same thing goes for Applejack. I can bet you they made her hat blue in toys because they thought little girls wouldn't like her normal brown hat- BUT WE WANTED THE NORMAL BROWN HAT. We wanted toys that matched the show. Rainbowdashes hair has always annoyed me. It bugs me how they chose to color it similarly to earlier versions of Rainbow (where the warm and cold colors were split between her hair and tail) but even then, I always felt like I could have forgave it more if they did it RIGHT by putting the green with the blue and purple. So that her tail doesn't just mesh into a weird indigo color. Of course I would have preferred you give her her actual hair, since like..there was enough space, honestly, but if you HAD to decide up the rainbow-at least do it evenly. Yanno? I also really hated the random princesses. Like that yellow Celestia toy. Or the purple one. Or princess skyler. .-. It annoyed me that they were making up random princess just to fill shelves- all while Luna and Cadance still didn't have variety in their own figures. (Or in Lunas case, didn't have her own figure at all! The closest she had for awhile was a Nightmare Moon figure from a limited edition set. And its..uuurgh how ponies outside of Celesita were also given a pink coat for no reason. Like twinkle shine. She's a background pony- why randomly make her pink?? Now she just looks like pinkie pie. Oh also- Rainbowshy. When they used rainbows mini fig mold for fluttershy- what was the point?? You went through the trouble of making molds for the other five but for some reason fluttershy was deemed basic enough to be slapped onto rainbowdash?? Especially since there's so many background pegasi that would have worked better on a fluttershy shape. Instead they made ONE pegasi mini fig mold and just slapped everyone on it regaurdless of personality or design.

I have a feeling that someone who makes these toys has never watched the actual show.

love ur vids hope u make more u inspired me to make my custom mlp charecter

I'd love a part 2! A great example could be the Star Swirl brushable that came with raritys boutique iirc and is some random earth pony who just so happens to have starswirls name

Love videos like this. Keep it up!

pls keep making mlp videos,i know ur channel is still small but by time you will become big and better than ever!!!

Please do part 2!!

the siren ponies r so pretty on their debut art i also had pink celestia i think around when she released

In the mlp movie pirate set Applejack has a BROWN hat. I put it on my bagged pony Applejack.

I remember owning a blindbag figure of Fluttershy. It was just a Rainbow Dash recolour which is kinda wierd considering that she's literally one of the main characters?

Yeah, as a MLP Fan and sort of a Collector still, I always wonderes that, why some toys didn't looked so accurate as the tv show ones, like the earliest versions cause then in g4.5 like the reboot ponies and for the MLP Movie (2017) They looked more accurate even with their colors

Okay but like, Princess Skyla was a really cute toy pony, and when i was younger i absolutely loved her lol

This is why I never asked my mom to buy me mlp toys as a kid because most of them look different

Guess we can call the toy Sapphire Shores a faker!

I have the pink princess Celestia and I got it when I was young. Then I threw away the box so I didn't know who she was and just assumed she was Princess Cadence..

Here's one, the fact that the toy Cadance was always a dark pink instead of light pink, like why? The dark pink was always so ugly and just didn't work with her pallet, she was already pink so why make it darker? They did fix this in later sets but only with a new mold that i personally found ugly.

The first spike toy being on all 4s is probably because it was made right before the show actually aired and they had no idea lol

Love your content dude! I’ve been in the FiM headspace lately, and your channel is a godsend

When I got a Celestia doll as a kid. I was so confused why she was pink.

The Dazzlings in the pony version are sooo pretty!Way better than in the show.

My mom said that mlp fans who are over 16 is because they didn't leave adolescence, I don't think it's like that.

I love that unicorn Sapphire Shores blind bag, she just encapsulates Hasbro’s laziness and lack of quality control for me! Sadly, the Friendship is Magic Collection Sapphire Shores is even less accurate as both her eyes are looking backwards! Another inaccurate toy in my collection is a Cutie Mark Crew figure of Sandbar - as we all know, he’s an earth pony in the show, but this CMC figure has wings … 🤷‍♂️

RU-vid keeps recommending you to me so, I'll sub. Why not?

i hate how i can't watch any piece of my little pony media video without seeing firecracker burst

The reason why they couldn't make the real body is because it costs money to make new designs and Hasbro was kind of running out I think so in a few blind bag series they stopped making new designs but like in series 12 or whatever they started making some new designs when they had the money so yeah that's why they were not able to make sapphire shores.

I remember the pink Celestia it use to make me so upset as a kid because I wanted the none pink version. 💀 still hate that they made her pink in a lot of merchandise.

I believe the crawling Spike could be a remnant from the original Show Bible that was leaked rather recently

As a little girl, I'd much perfer a beautiful white than a kinda bad looking pink on celesitia. It just fits more. Also.. Saphire shores from the show is kinda.. 😳

i had a fluttershy figure at one point that was a reskin of rainbow dash, same hair and everything, before they redesigned her to be on all fours and with the longer hair...unsure if you'd like to include this or not

1:13 only guess I have is stability since Spike isn’t exactly the most stable character to stand on 2 bases

Princess Pink Celestia: Princess of toy inconsistencies

I remember having some toys when I was young and still have them to like I just recolored them to look like from the show

Anybody else notice that last toy had the same color palette as Sandbar the earth pony

Cool content. U got my subscription.

One moment that stuck out to me as Spike on all fours was the season 4 premiere when he ran up a tree to get a view from above. It was puzzling and I wondered why he did that.

I'm pretty sure the Applejack and Spike toys are based on early designs. Toys brands often do that to have the toys ready by the time the show airs, and in Lauren Faust's earliest designs, Applejack had no hat, and Spike crawled on all fours.

But I was looking this up I actually noticed that sapphire stone the blind bag if Google is correct it came out in 2012 while the Pony version of the show came out with 2014 if my guess is possibly that they decided to reuse the Blind Bag character and just change her design. This is also all relying if the wikis and Google is correct. My best guess is at the figurine came first but then they're like you know what we're going to change it for the show

I have a white Celestia. She's a McDonald's toy I found at Savers.

I remember owning so many MLP toys that are very inaccurate to their show counterparts like a very ugly recolor or faces not lining up making it look derpy. I still have most of them years later

1:05 I had that toy. I was literally so proud of having this and some sort of cadence in this form I can't explain lol

Let’s not forget the fact they made 2 Alicorn pony toys (sterling and gold heart?) and they never appeared in the show? I have both in box because I feel like they may become rare but it’s so weird considering they never ended up in the show..

1:30 it’s because in the movie they state that they used to disguise as pony’s. That could also explain the earth pony and unicorn thing they probably could disguise as any type of pony
