Heck Yeah, Pony Scans!

Thoughts on MLP Make Your Mark Chapter 4, Episode 1: Bridlewoodstock

(with spoilers)

The Bridlewoodstock special definitely had MLP's 40th anniversary in mind, even though it isn't specifically mentioned. Really fun special! And first ever cartoon appearances of G1 Minty, Snuzzle, and Blue Belle. <3

The antagonists are also reimagined from G1 MLP 'n Friends!

From a Vietnamese website, the first Misty Brightdawn toy!  She is a 6″ pony from the Style of the Day set and she comes with “colorful style” for the Bridlewoodstock festival.

One exciting aspect of this toy is she has a symbol--a butterfly!  Unknown if this is her “real” symbol or a representation of the fake one that she draws on her flank in the animated series.  My guess is it’s real, and she subconsciously knew that’s what it should be.  A butterfly represents her character well since it’s a symbol of transformation and growth.  This girl is on the path to a redemption arc! :)

Misty has her freckles, although they are obscured by festival facepaint on one side.  Also her cornrows are molded on.  I would have preferred them to be real hair, but oh well.

Pics of an upcoming set, from a Vietnamese website!  I believe the main line of ponies are now manufactured in Vietnam, so it makes sense they’d appear there first.

These are 6″ ponies (hopefully this means they have good hair, like the regular Fashion Stylings).

“Butterfly style for the Bridlewoodstock Festival.”  BRIDLEWOODSTOCK.

At first I thought the butterfly wings were one-use stickers but it looks like they’re actually plastic and clip over her regular wings, which I’m pretty excited about.

She has gold hooves and a white gradient on her legs.
