Blind Bag Ponies tend to more closely resemble the characters from ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]]'' due to their molded hair. However, like the majority of G4 merchandise, the pony's cutie mark will be featured on only one side of the flank. Similar figurines, such as the [[G3.5 Ponyville|Ponyville]]sets have been released as part of G3 and G3.5 |

The term "figurines" will be used to refer to these groups as a whole. |
| − | + | ==Figurine Sources== | |
| + | ===Blind Bag Ponies=== | ||
| + | The main source of figurines is [[#Blind Bag Waves|Blind Bags, released in Waves]]. Blind Bag Ponies come with a matching [[G4_Pamphlets_and_Media#Collector Cards|collector card]], featuring the name and artwork of the pony, and a brief description about the pony's personality and/or favorite activity. These cards can sometimes be found in other merchandise. In addition to the figurine and collector card, each package includes a small parts warning sheet and sometimes a colorful pamphlet. | ||
| − | + | As of October 2014, there have been: | |
| − | * | + | * 11 Blind Bag waves, 15 Miniature Sets and 5 Collection Sets released so far |
| − | * 46 | + | * 46 various molds designed |
| − | * | + | * 175 different ponies, one zebra, a gryphon, three Breezies, few second-plane characters and Smarty Pants doll represented |
| − | + | * 306 different, distinguishable at least in featuring character, mold, style or coloring figurines are made, 66 of which can be found only in sets or collections | |
| − | = Sources | + | ===Other Sources=== |
| − | + | Some figurines are released as a part of a [[#Miniature Sets|Miniature Sets]], including anywhere from three to six ponies. Most revolve around a specific theme. Those figurines are more likely to have unique, individual molds, rather than being recolors and thus, are more likely to be accurate to the show. Some of the molds used for these figurines have been used in later Blind Bag Waves for re-releases or as recolors for other ponies. Sets does not include collector cards. | |
| − | + | Other figurines have been released as [[#Collection Sets|Miniature Collections]]. While Miniature Collections are similar to sets in that they involve groups of figurines, Collections usually are not arranged around a theme. Collections are packaged in groups of 4-12 ponies, some which are unique to the collection. Collections are often exclusive to certain retail chains, such as Wal-Mart or Toys R' Us and can be difficult to find. So far, only the Toys 'R Us "Pony Collection Set" has included collector cards. | |

| − | + | Each wave comes out with originally designed bags ''(please note that Euro and US bags versions are slightly, but not significantly differs; some examples can be found in [[#Blind_Bag_Waves|Blind Bag Waves]] section)'', so it is not hard to identify which bag relates to which wave : | |

| − | + | === Distribution=== | |
| + | Distribution pattens have varied between countries. In the US, for example, Wave I was late while Wave II was skipped entirely. In their place were some packaged ponies on cards.The initial delay spurred collectors to source their ponies from [[Taobao]]. | ||
| − | == International Releases == | + | Later Blind Bag waves, e.g. Wave VIII, may come splitted into two sub-waves of twelve ponies each in some countries (spotted in UK for example). These subwaves have a different numbering system, and subtly different bag designs. However, there is no difference in the ponies that can be found in the sub waves in total when compared to the original wave. |

| − | == | + | == Identification == |
| + | Though Blind Bag packaging is meant to obscure the identity of each pony, collectors have discovered that each bag has a unique imprinted code that can be deciphered to reveal the identity of the enclosed pony. Several coding patterns exist and are described below in more detail. | ||
| − | + | === Two Digit Codes === | |

| + | Chart<ref>http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/05/blind-bags-are-identifiable.html</ref>]] | ||
| − | + | Early European blind bags (Wave I, Wave III at least) may have two numerals stamped on the outside of the bag on the top of the the back seam. These numbers directly corresponds to the pony's number on collector card and character numbering for each appropriate wave below. | |
| − | == | + | But some of even early European waves may already have more common later Five Digit Codes though: |
| + | |||
| + | === Five Digit Codes === | ||
| + | [[Image: north-america-blind-id.jpg|thumb|Hard to read 5-digit code, 2<font color=red>'''2'''</font>4<font color=red>'''4'''</font>5 for Glittery Rainbow Dash, US Wave I]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | Up until the [[#Wave VIII|Wave VIII (Neon Wave)]], all American and later European blind bags have a five digit code stamped on the top of the back seam. The 1st, 3rd, and 5th number are random numbers meant to obscure the identity of the pony. The combination of the second and fourth numbers serves as the pony's identification, and directly corresponds to the pony's number on collector card and character numbering for each appropriate wave below. Single digit card's numbers are written with a leading zero, e.g. 2 will be written as <font color=red>02</font> = '''X'''<font color=red>0</font>'''X'''<font color=red>2</font>'''X''', where "X" represents the random numbers. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For example, codes for US Wave I consist of : | ||
| + | |||
| + | <div style="column-count:2;-moz-column-count:2;-webkit-column-count:2"> | ||

| − | + | === Two Letter Codes === | |
| − | : | + | :[[File: Wave8BlindBagCode.jpg|thumb|Letter code positions]] |
| − | + | From [[#Wave VIII|Wave VIII]] on, coding scheme was changed: there is no longer a back seam on the package, thus, codes consisting of two capital letters are imprinted along the bottom edge of the bags. | |
| − | : | ||
| − | + | [[File: Wave8BlindBagCodeCloseUp.jpg|180px]] | |
| − | : | ||
| − | + | The first letter is always "A", and only the second letter actually tells you which pony is inside. Ponies card number simply corresponds to the position in English alphabet for this second letter, skipping the letters "J" and "Q" (they are never used). For example, in Wave VIII that makes #1 Applejack's code "A<font color=red>'''A'''</font>", #2 Big McIntosh's code "A<font color=red>'''B'''</font>" and so on through "A<font color=red>'''Z'''</font>" for #24 Twilight Sparkle. | |

| − | + | Blind Bags are released in "waves", usually 2-4 within a calendar year, starting from 2011 for G4. Each wave consists of 24 unique (for this particular wave at least) pony figurines, sharing a common style (e.g. pastel colored ponies in wave 9, bright translucent in wave 8, etc.). Special Ponies are sometimes included, such as glittery versions of Pinkie, Twi and Dashie in wave 1; glow in the dark versions of Rarity, Twilight and Pinkie in wave 3, etc. In some countries (UK for sure) later waves were splitted in two sub-waves (consists of 12 ponies each), distinguishable by slightly different bags and boxes designs. | |

Duplicate rate is around 30% all known figurines until October 2014 are counted, considering different molds, styles and paintings for one pony as different figurines). If only Blind Bag waves I through XI are counted, the duplication rates drops to 11%. The highest proportion of re-releases consist of the Mane Six. |

Early Blind Bag waves consisted solely of female ponies and were recolors of the Mane 6. At this point, Unicorns were based off of [[Twilight Sparkle]] or [[G4 Rarity|Rarity]], while Earth Ponies were based off of [[G4 Pinkie Pie|Pinkie Pie]] or [[G4 Applejack|Applejack]]. All Pegasus Ponies were recolors of [[G4 Rainbow Dash|Rainbow Dash]], including [[G4 Fluttershy|Fluttershy]], one of the Mane 6. Later waves added more variety in molds, including male Earth, Unicorn, and Pegasus Ponies, and Alicorn Ponies. Also, while some early waves featured the Mane 6 and recycled G3 ponies, later waves tend to include more supporting and minor characters from the MLP:FiM. | Early Blind Bag waves consisted solely of female ponies and were recolors of the Mane 6.

- This article refers to the G4 releases. For similar figurines from G3 and G3.5 see Blind Bag Ponies.
Rainbow Dash figurine
G4 Blind Bag Ponies are pony toys that take the form of fully molded figurines that approximately half the size of a Playful Pony figure. Blind Bag Ponies tend to more closely resemble the characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic due to their molded hair. However, like the majority of G4 merchandise, the pony's cutie mark will be featured on only one side of the flank. Similar figurines, such as the Ponyvillesets have been released as part of G3 and G3.5
The term Blind Bag Pony refers to the packaging that the majority of figurines comes in (opaque "surprise" packaging that prevents the user from determining which pony is inside), but related figurines can also be found in Sets, Collections, or as part of games and other miscellaneous merchandise. The term "figurines" will be used to refer to these groups as a whole.

Figurine Sources
Blind Bag Ponies
The main source of figurines is Blind Bags, released in Waves. Blind Bag Ponies come with a matching collector card, featuring the name and artwork of the pony, and a brief description about the pony's personality and/or favorite activity. These cards can sometimes be found in other merchandise. In addition to the figurine and collector card, each package includes a small parts warning sheet and sometimes a colorful pamphlet.
As of October 2014, there have been:
- 11 Blind Bag waves, 15 Miniature Sets and 5 Collection Sets released so far
- 46 various molds designed
- 175 different ponies, one zebra, a gryphon, three Breezies, few second-plane characters and Smarty Pants doll represented
- 306 different, distinguishable at least in featuring character, mold, style or coloring figurines are made, 66 of which can be found only in sets or collections
Other Sources
Some figurines are released as a part of a Miniature Sets, including anywhere from three to six ponies. Most revolve around a specific theme. Those figurines are more likely to have unique, individual molds, rather than being recolors and thus, are more likely to be accurate to the show. Some of the molds used for these figurines have been used in later Blind Bag Waves for re-releases or as recolors for other ponies. Sets does not include collector cards.
Other figurines have been released as Miniature Collections. While Miniature Collections are similar to sets in that they involve groups of figurines, Collections usually are not arranged around a theme. Collections are packaged in groups of 4-12 ponies, some which are unique to the collection. Collections are often exclusive to certain retail chains, such as Wal-Mart or Toys R' Us and can be difficult to find. So far, only the Toys 'R Us "Pony Collection Set" has included collector cards.
Other sources of figurines includes:
- Game Pieces, e.g. Playhouse Puzzle, My Little Pony Chutes and Ladders Game or Regnbågsspelet Game
- Individual packs. The packaging allowed the buyer to see the pony they were getting. The Mane Six, with the exception of Fluttershy were released in this manner.
- 4-pack with four visible ponies. The sole release featured Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash
- 2011 Advert calendar which included Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle
- DVD releases which included Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle)
- Mini Pony Collector's Guide book which included Tealove as an exclusive release
Possible Prototypes & Chinese Fakes
Yes, they exists and numerous, so here be text :)
Blind Bag Specifics
Appearance
Each wave comes out with originally designed bags (please note that Euro and US bags versions are slightly, but not significantly differs; some examples can be found in Blind Bag Waves section), so it is not hard to identify which bag relates to which wave :
- Bb-wave12.jpg
Distribution
Distribution pattens have varied between countries. In the US, for example, Wave I was late while Wave II was skipped entirely. In their place were some packaged ponies on cards.The initial delay spurred collectors to source their ponies from Taobao.
Later Blind Bag waves, e.g. Wave VIII, may come splitted into two sub-waves of twelve ponies each in some countries (spotted in UK for example). These subwaves have a different numbering system, and subtly different bag designs. However, there is no difference in the ponies that can be found in the sub waves in total when compared to the original wave.
International Releases
When compared to the US Market, Blind Bags released in Europe markets have some minor differences such as:
- Slight differences in packaging
- Multilingual collector cards with a reduced description
- Colorful pamphlets, if they are found in blind bag, differ in art arrangement and also tend to be either mono- or multilingual, though the pony's artwork remains identical
Identification
Though Blind Bag packaging is meant to obscure the identity of each pony, collectors have discovered that each bag has a unique imprinted code that can be deciphered to reveal the identity of the enclosed pony. Several coding patterns exist and are described below in more detail.
Two Digit Codes
Identifying 2-digit codes Blind Bags Chart[1]
Early European blind bags (Wave I, Wave III at least) may have two numerals stamped on the outside of the bag on the top of the the back seam. These numbers directly corresponds to the pony's number on collector card and character numbering for each appropriate wave below.
But some of even early European waves may already have more common later Five Digit Codes though:
Five Digit Codes
Up until the Wave VIII (Neon Wave), all American and later European blind bags have a five digit code stamped on the top of the back seam. The 1st, 3rd, and 5th number are random numbers meant to obscure the identity of the pony. The combination of the second and fourth numbers serves as the pony's identification, and directly corresponds to the pony's number on collector card and character numbering for each appropriate wave below. Single digit card's numbers are written with a leading zero, e.g. 2 will be written as 02 = X0X2X, where "X" represents the random numbers.
For example, codes for US Wave I consist of :
- Pinkie Pie - 20415
- Applejack - 20425
- Rainbow Dash - 20435
- Rarity - 20445
- Twilight Sparkle - 20455
- Fluttershy - 20465
- Sugar Grape - 20475
- Lily Blossom - 20485
- Minty - 20495
- Bumblesweet - 21405
- Fizzypop - 21415
- Flower Wishes - 21425
- Roseluck - 21435
- Sweetie Blue - 21445
- Pepperdance - 21455
- Lemon Hearts - 21465
- Cherry Spices - 21475
- Sweetie Swirl - 21485
- Lucky Swirl - 21495
- Sweetcream Scoops - 22405
- Firecracker Burst - 22415
- Pinkie Pie (Glittery) - 22425
- Twilight Sparkle (Glittery) - 22435
- Rainbow Dash (Glittery) - 22445
Two Letter Codes
From Wave VIII on, coding scheme was changed: there is no longer a back seam on the package, thus, codes consisting of two capital letters are imprinted along the bottom edge of the bags.
The first letter is always "A", and only the second letter actually tells you which pony is inside. Ponies card number simply corresponds to the position in English alphabet for this second letter, skipping the letters "J" and "Q" (they are never used). For example, in Wave VIII that makes #1 Applejack's code "AA", #2 Big McIntosh's code "AB" and so on through "AZ" for #24 Twilight Sparkle.
See character images for each appropriate wave below for individual pony codes.
Blind Bag Waves
Blind Bags are released in "waves", usually 2-4 within a calendar year, starting from 2011 for G4. Each wave consists of 24 unique (for this particular wave at least) pony figurines, sharing a common style (e.g. pastel colored ponies in wave 9, bright translucent in wave 8, etc.). Special Ponies are sometimes included, such as glittery versions of Pinkie, Twi and Dashie in wave 1; glow in the dark versions of Rarity, Twilight and Pinkie in wave 3, etc. In some countries (UK for sure) later waves were splitted in two sub-waves (consists of 12 ponies each), distinguishable by slightly different bags and boxes designs.
Although ponies are not repeated inside each wave (except for the specials, which sometimes represents an already being in this wave character), some of them can duplicate figurines from earlier waves, sets or other toys. Duplicate rate is around 30% all known figurines until October 2014 are counted, considering different molds, styles and paintings for one pony as different figurines). If only Blind Bag waves I through XI are counted, the duplication rates drops to 11%. The highest proportion of re-releases consist of the Mane Six.
Each wave offers its own design for collector cards, with an exception for the first two Waves and TRU Pony Collection Set, which share the same design. So, for example, common Twilight Sparkle figurines from wave 3 and wave 5 are identical, but have differing cards.
Early Blind Bag waves consisted solely of female ponies and were recolors of the Mane 6. At this point, Unicorns were based off of Twilight Sparkle or Rarity, while Earth Ponies were based off of Pinkie Pie or Applejack. All Pegasus Ponies were recolors of Rainbow Dash, including Fluttershy, one of the Mane 6. Later waves added more variety in molds, including male Earth, Unicorn, and Pegasus Ponies, and Alicorn Ponies. Also, while some early waves featured the Mane 6 and recycled G3 ponies, later waves tend to include more supporting and minor characters from the MLP:FiM.

- Glittery Twilight Sparkle had pink body color instead of purple in early European releases. While many fans desired the show-accurate purple variant then, now pink version is quite rare and sought by some of the collectors

- Early Alternatives for Wave I in USA
At first in the US/North America only the mane characters were released. Fluttershy at first only appeared in the US with the puzzle house (which is still quite rare), which drove her value up extremely high initially.
They have been packaged:
- as individually packed singles
- as a four pack
- as singles in a cardboard house with a puzzle
See Individually packaged mini ponies
The individual on card ponies have been sold in the US, Canada, and the UK so far.
- Wave I Coming Out in USA
The first set of blind bags appeared by the box (finally) on hasbrotoyshop.com February 2012, ie officially available in the US.
It seems that some/all of the first full run of blind bags released in North America do not have their collector card number punched into the packaging. Secretly however they do[4]. See the Five Digit Codes for details.
Wave II
Euro card example
Multilingual mini pamphlet
Release date: in August 2011 they already were[5] in Europe; never in USA
- Re-releases the Mane 6, and now includes the glitter versions of the rest of the Mane 6 (ie Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy). The set is about 1/3 characters that have been released as G4 full sized toys, 1/3 mane cast and 1/3 entirely new characters, but there are no new molds.
- First ever release of Cheerilee
- Each bag includes mini pamphlet with 21 out of 24 Pony's pics and names
- Style: regular painted ponies
- Specials: translucent glittery versions of Rarity (#22), Applejack (#23), Fluttershy (#24)
- 17 new figurines, including 10 completely unique ponies, 3 ponies shared with Friendship Celebration Collection (which is rare too) and Cheerilee in Applejack's mold are rather tricky to find nowdays probably because this wave was never released in vast USA market. Only Tealove can be quite easily obtained with Mini Pony Collector's Guide book today.

Wave V
US card example
Release date: August 2012 in USA/Europe[11]
- New Alicorn mold, allowing for Figurines of the Princesses. Also introducing many of G3 generation characters and a new, better colored versions of Trixie Lulamoon and Lyra Heartstrings (and they called so henceforth)
- This wave completely lacks of any Earth Ponies or Stallions, featuring only female Unicorns, Pegasus and Alicorns
- G3 generation ponies are: Breezie, Cinnamon Breeze, Diamond Rose, Flippity Flop, Gardenia Glow, Island Rainbow, Ribbon Wishes, Skywishes; ponies from G3 generation, which changed race from Earth Pony to Unicorn and some of them are very differently colored too: Golden Delicious, Forsythia, Sapphire Shores, Junebug. Also Junebug, Golden Delicious and Sapphire Shores, all appearing here as unicorn mares, really are an earth mare, earth stallion and earth mare in MLP:FiM respectively. Flitter Heart, Ploomette, Rainbow Wishes and Sunny Rays seems to be all-new ponies here (though Sunny Rays had a minor appearance in the show)
- Collector cards in this wave are yellow-colored. However, Forsythia (#21) has a pink card in European edition.
- Style: regular painted ponies
- Specials: Princess Cadance (#2), Princess Luna (#7) and Princess Celestia (#19)

Wave VII
US card example
Release date: January 2013 in USA stores[13]
- This wave introduced the translucent, non-glittery pony miniatures. It featured three of the Wonderbolts with unique mold, two of which were pictured on the bag's art.
- Spitfire and Soarin had their names and descriptions mistakenly switched on corresponding collector cards, though they were named correctly on the package.
- Also here is a first ever release of Bon Bon, listed as Sweetie Drops and had her tail colors switched the blue and pink strands, but nevertheless - Lyra will be happy to have a friend!
- Featuring a first stallion with mustache - Barber Groomsby
- An interesting fact that Holly Dash, whose figurine is also featured in this wave, is actually the first OC that appears in the show. She was named after her creator, one of the series animator - Holly Giesbrecht
- Style: translucent ponies with painted manes and tails
- Specials: Wonderbolt team - Misty Fly (#12), Spitfire (#17), Soarin (#23)

Wave VIII
US card example
Release date: June 2013 in USA stores[14]
- Another translucent without glitter wave, like the previous one. Named "Neon Bright" on the box, but really there are not much style difference from Wave VII
- Seems to have a plenty of new molds and characters, but: Princess Cadance, Granny Smith, Lotus Blossom and Gilda the Griffon were presented earlier in miniature sets; Comet Tail is a new pony, but shares the same mold with Shining Armor (Pony Wedding Set)
- The only first ever released figurines here were Flim and Flam brothers, each shares a new unique mold
- Mane 6 are simply re-releases of those in previous wave, but tend to have more intense colors, with the except for Twilight Sparkle: although there ARE subtle color distinctions, but wheter figurines are placed side by side, you will notice that they really ARE very alike
- Other ponies are translucent versions of those being regulary painted in earlier waves
- Style: translucent ponies with painted manes and tails
- Specials: nope, for a change
The bags for this wave were changed so that there is no longer a center flap for the identification codes to be imprinted on. Instead, letters are imprinted along the bottom edge of the bags. Please see Two Letter Codes section for details.

Wave IX
US card example
Release date: November 2013 in USA stores[15]
- Rainbow-themed wave, Yay!
- Big Mac appears here again, together with Fluttershy, now in her own unique mold (debuted in Elements of Harmony Friends Set), Sea Swirl with two-toned mane, Noteworthy with cutie mark on right flank (compare to Wave III), Nurse Snowherat sharing her mold with Nurse Redheart from Cake Family Babysitting Fun Set, and also Mr. Carrot Cake from the mentioned set; Amethyst Star now in Twilight mold, Shoeshine in Pinkie's mold, Peachy Sweet in AJ mold
- Berryshine suddenly becomes an Earth Pony with red eyes (compare to Wave III) and Lily Valley becomes a Pegasus (compare to Wave VII)
- Sprinkle Medley, Tropical Storm, Green Jewel, Lavender Fritter, Apple Honey, Honey Rays, Prism Glider and Grape Delight are all-new ponies in well-known molds.
- It seems that this wave hits the jackpot with the number of oddities. Already mentioned two ponies changed their race, but there is another funny thing: Prism Glider's card artwork clearly shows her as a colt, though her mold is female Pegasus pony. Also consider the description (US version): "glides across the sky with his friends!". So the gender changing is also possible, as we can see. Probably some powerful Alicorn magic, huh? :)
- Style: regular painted pastel ponies
- Specials: Rainbow Dash (#5), Rarity (#6), Princess Cadance (#12) - all painted in Rainbow accents theme. The coloring is different from those in Rainbow Pony Favorite and Daring Pony Story sets, though they came almost simultaneously and all accenting MLP:FiM Season 4 events

The Pony Rainbow Collection versions of Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity are almost exact matches to the Wave 4 versions. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash are darker than their Wave 1 versions. Twilight Sparkle is a brighter purple than Wave 1 as well. Fluttershy is darker than Wave 4 and slightly lighter but still close in color to her Wave 2 counterpart. Applejack is darker than in both Wave 4 and Wave 2. Rarity is more opaque than her Wave 2 version. With the exception of Emerald Ray, the Rainbow Collection does not have the black numbers stamped on the bottoms of their hooves differentiating them from the other waves.

Trivia
Pony's cutie marks can rarely undergo minor appearance changes in re-releases: [here be pictures]
Some background ponies shares the same cutie mark:
- Amethyst Star and Purple Wave
A few not vastly involved in MLP:FiM ponies have had their race altered due to mistakes in later waves:
- Berryshine: Unicorn (Wave 3) -> Earth Pony (Wave 9)
- Lily Valley: Earth Pony (Wave 7) -> Pegasus (Wave 9)
