Classic My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake at toy fair.

[Werewolf]

No Plum is a bit disappointing. I know she has been on the short list for release some time. But at least way more dolls this year. Five in comparison to the two that were released in 2017. Peach Blush, Apple Dumpling with Tea Time Turtle, Apricot with Hopsalot and Cherry Cuddler with Gooseberry. Also of note is the retro dolls sold much better than the modern versions.

Video walk through. Strawberry Shortcake starts at 1:55. Right after MLP.

Was there a Banana Twirl in there? She's the only character I don't have the original release of, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford her.

It doesn't look like Banana Twirl was shown. I'm actually a little surprised that neither Banana or Plum were shown because they were one the poll Bridge Direct had for what characters to make, last year.

AS I'm sure PNGwynne would agree Plum has the most "personality" out of 'em all...and Peach Blush is kinda on the same price point as Plum...

Banana Twirl is above all the highest-priced character... so, maybe they're looking to "close out" the following year with Plum and Banana and a few others...

or maybe they'll stretch the original character re-releases out even longer to 2020.

It'd be nice if they broached making new characters in the vintage style though... there's a few vintage characters that were in the comics and TV that were never made as dolls like that one villain girl that hung with Sour Grapes.

These. Are. Adorable. Huckleberry Pie with a molded hat? Sweet! And a playset .

I am not going to share my opinion of Plum Pudding's exclusion.

I am not going to share my opinion of Plum Pudding's exclusion.

Her continued absence in the line is frustrating. Her Party Pleaser doll is one of the harder to get dolls in the original Kenner line and the Berrykins Plum is even more challenging to get. Also, aside from the two minis, we never did get Plum in her standard outfit. I'd love it if Bridge Direct would make a Plum in that outfit with a non party Elderberry Owl.

I like your idea, as I was never all that fond of variants.

Perfect idea!

I'd even consider selling my variant versions of the rarer characters for their unproduced non-variant versions if Bridge made them as I too am not into variants if there are alternatives.

Raisin Cane is the name of the villain character I'd want made BTW. Raisin Cane has a pet worm named Durt.

[Werewolf]

I remember Raisin from the Marvel Star comics. I also wouldn't mind seeing T.N. Honey finally get a doll.
