Cool! Um,does anyone know if Twinkle Hope has been released yet? I thought a regular size version of her was going to be out in stores?

Will it be like Twinkle Hope, and in stores, or a special order one?
I'm thinking that this one was the most popular, and is why it is being released as a 5-incher.

My guess is that it is going to be an art pony, and not released in stores. This pony is so different from what hasbro does, and I think that is why they are releasing it. A little something for the collectors, and not the kiddos.

I wonder if she will come with the fur and shoes as accessories, or if it will simply be the pony. My guess...and this is basing it off of the other art ponies released, is that she will probably be in the 25-30 dollar range. The black and blue pony was 19.99. Then the next 2 were 12.99 each. I'm assuming that they were less so people would be more likely to buy both. If it is the only one release at the time, plus it if it has accessories, I can see it being almost $30. But, that's just my opinion.

Other than that, all I can say is I really like her. I cannot wait to buy her when she comes out.

YES more fun ponies!! i love these funky g3s. do you think it will have the fur and the 'shoes'???

I think the art ponies, while they are not being released at major retailers, can sometimes be found at some comic book/collectibles type stores.

The Junko Pony is not too far fetched. The style of the new ponies remind me of the way Junko draws her characters anyways.

I suppose what's really neat about Junko Mizuno is that she does have some of the G1 ponies. There's an interview on You tube that actually goes into her studio. It's littered with a lot of things (Sailor Moon, Popples, and My Little Pony for sure!) I won't post the link due to some of the mature qualities of her art throught the video. But if you type in "junko mizuno interview" into you tube it should come up to any interested viewers.
