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, but as well as the majority of G4 merchandise, they still have only one cutie mark either on left or right side of the flank.

The term Blind Bag Pony refers to the packaging that the figurine 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, as part of the games or other MLP merchandise, so in this this article all of them will also be referenced just as "figurines".

All figurines from blind bags (and some others too) comes with matching collector card, featuring the name and artwork of the pony, and a brief description about the pony's personality, almost always - about her/him favorite activity.

Altogether, at the moment of October 2014 there are:

  • 10 different Blind Bags waves released so far (with wave 11 expected at stores in nearest future), 15 Sets, 5 Collections
  • 46 different molds
  • 306 different, distinguished by molds, style, cuitie marks and colors figurines, 66 of which can be found only in Sets or Collections.
  • 174 unique Ponies, one particular Zebra, a gryphon, three Breezies, a few second-plane characters, Smarty Pants doll and of course Derpy ;)

Sources of Figurines

Besides blind bags, figurines have been 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.

Also some of them was released as Miniature Collections, which are similar to Sets, but does not always refering to some general theme. They usually consists of clearly visible through plastic fold 4-12 ponies, many of them tended to not be found in other sources. Such collections was often a targed exclusive toys, for example for Wallmart or Toys 'R Us stores, and some of them are hard to find nowdays. Only Toys 'R Us "Pony Collection Set" includes collector cards so far.

Other sources of figurines includes:

  • Being parts of the games (e.g. Playhouse Puzzle, My Little Pony Chutes and Ladders Game or Regnbågsspelet Game)
  • Individual packs with only one, but visible pony (all Mane 6 was released except for Fluttershy)
  • 4-pack with four visible ponies (only one had been released so far with Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash)
  • 2011 Advert calendar (Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle)
  • DVD releases (Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle)
  • Mini Pony Collector's Guide book (Tealove)

None of those figurines had collector cards so far.

Possible Prototypes & Chinese Fakes

Yes, they exists and numerous, so here be text :)

About Blind Bags

Every bag always have an unique imprinted code somewhere on the bag. As collectors have discovered, this code can be deciphered to reveal the identity of the pony within the bag. Inside each bag you will find: a pony mini figurine, collector's card, small parts warning sheet and sometimes a colorful pamphlet.

Previous Gens


G4 are not the first My Little Pony blind bags. See Blind Bag Ponies. The scale of G4 blind bag ponies is similar to Ponyville figurines of G3 and G3.5 (so they may be referred to also G4 Ponyville or G4 PV).

International Releases


Blind Bags, released in US and Europe markets have some minor differences:

  • Subtle distinctions in bags cover art
  • US collector cards are monolingual (English only) and tend to feature a longer description of a Pony
  • European collector cards are multilingual (description are done in many EU's languages), and therefore info are somewhat reduced
  • Colorful pamphlets (if they are found in blind bag) are differs in art arrangement, but pony's artwork itself are identical

Distribution


The US distribution of blind bags was very late with the Wave I and entirely missed Wave II. In their place were some packaged ponies on cards.

The initial delay spurred collectors to source their ponies from Taobao.

Identification


Two Digit Codes
Early European blind bags have two numerals lightly stamped on the outside of the bag on the top the back seam. These numbers correspond with the pony's number listed below.
Five Digit Codes
Up until the Neon set, all American blind bags and later European blind bags have a five digit code stamped into the flap on the back of the package. The 1st, 3rd, and 5th number is to confuse you. The second and forth numbers tell you which pony is inside. See the charts below.
Two Letter Codes
Starting with the Neon set, each bag has a two letter code stamped into the bottom flap of the bag. The first letter is A and the second letter tells you which pony is inside. See below for a chart matching ponies to letters.


Blind Bag Waves

Bland Bags released in "waves", usually 2-3 within a calendar year. Each wave consists of 24 unique (for this particular wave) pony figurines, sharing a common style (e.g. pastel colored ponies in wave 9, bright translucent in wave 8, etc.), but often includes a few "specials", 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% if we count all known figurines from all known sources till October 2014 (and considering different molds, styles and paintings for one pony as different figurines), and is about 11% if we focus only on Blind Bags waves from I to XI. Mane 6 receives the most of re-releases, as you can guess of course.

Each wave offers it's own design for collector cards (with an exception for the first two Waves and TRU Pony Collection Set, which shares 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.

Wave I

Euro Blind Bag
US Blind Bag
Monolingual mini pamphlet
Identifying Blind Bags Chart[1]
Purple and pink variants of Glittery Twilight Sparkle
Lily Blossom variants

Release date: ??? in Europe; much later (but at least in January 2012 they already were[2]) in USA

  • The very first set of G4 Ponies
  • Introduced 5 unique molds: Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight and Pegasus pony (used for both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy)
  • Each bag includes a mini pamphlet with 21 out of 24 Pony's pics and names
  • Style: regular painted ponies
  • Specials: translucent glittery versions of Pinkie Pie (#22), Twilight Sparkle (#23), Rainbow Dash (#24)
  • 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

Pinkie Pie variants - single on left, TRU pack on right

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

US Box of Blind Bags

The first set of blind bags appeared by the box (finally) on hasbrotoyshop.com February 2012, ie officially available in the US.

Very hard to read six-digit id number, 22445 for Glittery Rainbow Dash.

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. Each of the two-digit numbers have been interspersed with the numbers: 2, 4, and 5. (Single digit numbers written with a zero ie 2 is written as 02). [3]

e.g. 02 + 245 = 20425.

  • 20415 - Pinkie Pie (1)
  • 20425 - Applejack (2)
  • 20435 - Rainbow Dash (3)
  • 20445 - Rarity (4)
  • 20455 - Twilight Sparkle (5)
  • 20465 - Fluttershy (6)
  • 20475 - Sugar Grape (7)
  • 20485 - Lily Blossom (8)
  • 20495 - Minty (9)
  • 21405 - Bumblesweet (10)
  • 21415 - Fizzypop (11)
  • 21425 - Flower Wishes (12)
  • 21435 - Roseluck (13)
  • 21445 - Sweetie Blue (14)
  • 21455 - Pepperdance (15)
  • 21465 - Lemon Hearts (16)
  • 21475 - Cherry Spices (17)
  • 21485 - Sweetie Swirl (18)
  • 21495 - Lucky Swirl (19)
  • 22405 - Sweetcream Scoops (20)
  • 22415 - Firecracker Burst (21)
  • 22425 - Pinkie Pie (Glittery) (22)
  • 22435 - Twilight Sparkle (Glittery) (23)
  • 22445 - Rainbow Dash (Glittery) (24)


Wave II

Bb-wave2.jpg
Multilingual mini pamphlet
G4-blind-wave2.jpg
Blind-ident-wave2.jpg
Left Wave 2 Cheerilee; Right later Pony Lesson Set Cheerilee

Release date: in August 2011 they already were[4] 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 (which was later re-released in Pinkie Pie's mold in Pony Lesson Set)
  • 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 are 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 III

Bb-wave3.jpg
Euro-w3.jpg
Euro box

Release date: July 2012 in USA[5]

  • The set is the first G4 merchandise to feature male ponies [6] or anything glow-in-the-dark
  • First ever release of Big Mac and Lyra (listed as Heartstrings), eeyup!
  • Introduced stallion mold (Goldengrape, Big McIntosh, Meadow Song and Noteworthy)
  • Style: regular painted ponies
  • Specials: glow-in-the-dark versions of Pinkie Pie (#6), Twilight Sparkle (#12), Rarity (#18)

Wave IV

Bb-wave4.jpg
Blue-blind-bags.jpg
L to R: Wave 2, Pony Rainbow Collection, Wave 4
L to R: Pony Rainbow Collection, Wave 2, Wave 4

Release date: May 2012 in Europe[7]; July 2012 in USA[8]

  • And now we learned that not only Mane 6 can glitter :). But no new molds, alas.
  • First ever release of Great And Powerful Someone (Trixie, yep; listed as Lulamoon). Also there is another popular pony: Minuette, more known as "Colgate" among a fan community
  • Style: translucent glittery ponies
  • Specials: metallic, opaque painted Rarity (#12), Applejack (#18), Pinkie Pie (#24)


The secret ID number on some packaging may have five digits rather than two digit. (Single digit numbers written with a zero ie 2 is written as 02.) The two-digit numbers have been interspersed with the numbers: 5, 4, and 2. [9]

So 02 + 542 = 50422.

Wave V

Bb-wave5.jpg
Left Wave 3 Heartstrings; Right Wave 5 Lyra Heartstrings

Release date: August 2012 in Europe[10]

  • New Alicorn mold, making possible our beloved Princesses to come out. Also introducing many of G3 generation characters and a new, better colored versions of Trixie Lulamoon and Lyra Heartstrings (and now they are named so also)

  • 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 have yellow main color. All, but one for Forsythia (#21) in European (not US) edition - it is pink, for whatever reason
  • Style: regular painted ponies

Release date: November 2012 in online stores[11]

  • This wave consists of regular versions of the glitter toys from wave IV, some of them with tridimensional cutie marks, Cherry Spices and Trixie Lulamoon with Twilight Sparkle's mold rather than the usual Rarity mold and Roseluck with new colors. The only new pony in this wave was #20 Magnet Bolt. No new molds.
  • Style: regular painted ponies
  • Specials: Twilight Sparkle (#3), Trixie Lulamoon (#9), Twilight Velvet (#10) - all with 3D, gem-stylized cutie marks

Wave VII

Release date: November 2012 at Ebay (Chinese sellers)[12]

  • 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 box.
  • 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!
  • Style: translucent ponies with painted manes and tails
  • Specials: Wonderbolt team - Misty Fly (#12), Spitfire (#17), Soarin (#23)

Wave VIII

Wave8BlindBagCode.jpg
Close-up of the letter code

Release date: June 2013 in USA stores[13]

  • 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 was no longer a center flap for the codes to be imprinted on. Instead, letters were imprinted along the bottom edge of the bags. The numbers for the ponies were changed to the corresponding letter of the alphabet skipping the letters "J" and "Q" and adding an additional A at the beginning. That made #1 Applejack's code "AA," #2 Big McIntosh's code "AB" and so on through "AZ" for #24 Twilight Sparkle.

Mane 6, that are repeats from the seventh wave, are brighter in the neon wave:


Wave IX

Bb-wave9.jpg
Sea Swirl Comparison L: Wave 3, R: Wave 9

Release date: November 2013 in USA stores[14]

  • Rainbow-themed wave, Yay!
  • Big Mac appears here again, with Fluttershy, now in her own unique mold (debuted in Elements of Harmony Friends set), Sea Swirl with two-toned mane, Noteworthy with (attention!) cutie mark on right flank (compare to Wave 3 Noteworthy), Nurse Snowherat sharing her mold with Nurse Redheart from Cake Family Babysitting Fun set, also here we will find Mr. Carrot Cake from the mentioned set; Amethyst Star now in Twilight mold, Shoeshine now in Pinkie's mold, Peachy Sweet in AJ mold
  • Berryshine suddenly becomes an Earth Pony (compare her with Wave 3 release) and Lily Valley becomes a Pegasus (compare to Wave 7)
  • 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

Glittery Peachy Sweet

Release date: April 2014 in USA stores[15]

  • This wave introduce us translucent glittery figurines with painted manes and tails, which deffers them from all of the previous translucent glittery releases
  • It seems that toy's producers have a soft spot for Trixie. So do we :). Anyway, here is her 4-th re-release. Another interesting figurines here (all using recent Set's molds) are Princess Twilight Sparkle, Lotus Blossom (when we will see at least one Aloe, huh?), Snail Squirm with Snipsy Snap, and Strawberry Sunrise in Derpy's mold from Soaring Pegasus Set, not yet used for other figurines
  • Style: translucent glittery ponies with manes and tails painted
  • Specials: nope


Wave XI

Bb-wave-XI.jpg

Release date: September 2014 in USA stores[16]

  • Breezies, Neon Lights, Cheese Sandwich, Cloud Chaser and first-ever regular, accurate painted Spitfire! And Sunset Shimmer with Flash Sentry, yep.

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.

Funny facts

Ponie's cutie marks can rarely undergo minor appearance changes in re-releases. [here be pictures]

A few not vastly involved in MLP:FiM ponies had even managed to change their race due to mistakes in later waves:

  • Berryshine: Unicorn (Wave 3) -> Earth Pony (Wave 9)
  • Lily Valley: Earth Pony (Wave 7) -> Pegasus (Wave 9)
