Summary

TLDRIn this intriguing video, the creator explores the peculiar discrepancies between the My Little Pony TV show characters and their toy counterparts.

The video also addresses the odd portrayal of Spike crawling on all fours, a posture not observed in the show. The Dazzlings, who are sirens in the show, are depicted as ponies in their toy form, likely to boost sales. The most bizarre inconsistency is with Sapphire Shores, whose toy version is a unicorn with different colored hair and no clothes, contrasting with her earth pony character in the series. Despite these inconsistencies, a more accurate representation of Sapphire Shores was later introduced in the Friendship is Magic collection, though still missing her signature headpiece. The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to share any additional inconsistencies they've noticed, hinting at a potential sequel. The creator expresses gratitude for the support and subscribers gained from their content.

🚀 Introduction to My Little Pony Toy Inconsistencies

The video script introduces the topic of inconsistencies between the My Little Pony TV show characters and their corresponding toy versions. It clarifies that the focus will be on the differences in the toys rather than variations in character stylizations by different brands. The script also sets the stage for discussing five specific examples of these inconsistencies.

🎩 Applejack's Missing Hat in Toys

The script discusses the notable absence of Applejack's signature hat in almost every toy version of the character. It speculates that the lack of a hat might be due to the reusability of the toy model through recoloring, which would not be possible if the hat were included. Some non-recolored Applejack toys also lack the hat, and when present, the hat is incorrectly depicted as blue instead of brown.

🌈 Color Inconsistencies with Princess Celestia and Spike

The script highlights the color inconsistencies in toys of Princess Celestia, where many are pink instead of her canonical white coat. It suggests that pink might be chosen for better sales, although it is frustrating that such a basic color is incorrect. The script also mentions Spike toys that depict him crawling on all fours, which is inconsistent with his portrayal in the show, possibly designed to serve as a pet for Twilight Sparkle.

🦄 The Dazzlings' Equestrian Counterparts as Ponies

The script addresses the inconsistency regarding the Dazzlings from 'Rainbow Rocks', who are depicted as sirens in their equestrian counterparts but are made as ponies for the toys. It questions the decision to include pony versions on the cover when they are not actually ponies in the show, and notes that Adagio, one of the Dazzlings, has two different toy designs, as a unicorn and an earth pony.

🔍 Sapphire Shore's Baffling Toy Design

The script describes the most confusing inconsistency, which is the toy version of Sapphire Shore. The toy has different colored hair, a different shape, and lacks clothes or a hat. Most peculiarly, while the character is an earth pony in the show, the toy is a unicorn. The script attempts to confirm the character's identity by comparing their cutie marks, but due to poor image quality or lighting, it remains inconclusive. However, a more accurate version of Sapphire Shore is mentioned to have been released in the 'Friendship is Magic' collection, albeit still missing her distinctive head feature.

📺 Conclusion and Acknowledgment of Subscribers

The script concludes by acknowledging other potential inconsistencies in the My Little Pony toy line and inviting viewers to share their observations in the comments. It also expresses gratitude for reaching 200 subscribers after uploading just one video, showing appreciation for the viewers' engagement and promising more My Little Pony content in the future.
