Goth Cowboy Pirate Robots? :3

It’s like blastification in the transformers toyline. When Hasbro can’t get a toy’s name, they just stick a nonsense word there.
 
Of course, this only applies to toys, for other media, such as books, comics, etc. a different trademark applies. Hence Sweetie Drops in the toyline, Bon Bon everywhere else.

@ED-SKaR  
Diamond Tiara is plenty girly, and they still stuck dazzle in her name. It’s just a dumb word used for trademarkings.

@Background Pony #6A0E  

 
No, Bonbon is Sweetie Drop because her name is Sweetie Drop, Bonbon is a fan created name. I’ve not seen any official merch with Octavia Melody though, probably a similar story, she was called Melody first and they hashed the names together.

@ED-SKaR  
Daring Do is too generic of a name to trademark alone. It’s the same reason Bon Bon is Sweetie Drop and Octavia is Octavia Melody.

Hasbro own the name Daring Do, Hasbro can sell anything with that name on it, nobody else can, but Hasbro can.
 
They probably just put it in to make it more girly, thus going against ALL the work that has been put in to stop the obsession with girls having girly things.

I want this because Daring Do.

@ED-SKaR  
I think it’s less that they got it wrong, more likely that Daring Do wouldn’t pass legal. Hasbro’s obsession with the word dazzle is still really baffling.

Idea for following or future line: Neo Cutie Pox. In the show, the Cutie Pox is brought back only with the cutie marks of a pony’s closest friends. Which cutie marks background ponies get probably won’t matter, but if not will be dependant on popular fanon. Anyway, the episode involves the mane six sharing talents in order to overcome a certain obstacle. Applejack with Rainbow’s cutie mark makes her bucks strong and fast, etc.
 
The line will have those five other marks on a mane six toy, and an indeterminate number on a background pony. Plus, a mix of their friends’ mane, tail, and coat colours in their mane, tail, and coat.
 
There are no brakes on the overtly-garrish train. ;D

Time to break out the nail polish remover

Pony names don’t work that way.

I can see Daring Do visiting a tribe of jungle ponies and agreeing to wear the paint so that they accept her, that’s fairly usual for explorers and interpreters. Different cultures are different, different doesn’t mean wrong.
 
However, Hasbro, I cannot forgive that hat and I cannot forgive that you got her name wrong.

Jungle Camo!

More like she is related to Adagio Dazzle.

Daring Do confirmed for being related to Diamond Tiara.

At the rate things are going, a fair amount of hideous OCs aren’t even going to be noticeable.

Looks like she went to a festival and came back full of tatoos.

LOL at applejacks hat.
 
Also, WTF with all that color splashed on her.
