I don’t fault them for shaking up the toy line now and then, but it’s curious that they’re introducing an entirely new character before even getting the full mane 6 out.

With the traditional brushables, the toy collecting mlp community always complained about how the bottom of shining armors shoes, or how the Princesses shoes were never painted. After the reboot for the movie, the toy collectors felt that the unpainted tongues tuined the whole look of the ponies with the opened mouth, and thus complained about it. It’s not about what items need, it’s about what the consumers want. If you don’t give-in to your consumers, there won’t be success because consumers won’t want the product.
As for printing cutie marks on both sides, I read an article on EQD where somebody interviewed the toy designers and their response was “the pennies add up,” however that is a very stupid response to have said, because for the majority of these past 5 years, every mlp toy has had some unnecessary body print or design added to them, whether it be a zapcode, body tattoos like on the ponymania figures, or full on body prints like the all about ponies. Pennies clearly don’t add up.
