I think they included Cheerilee because she's going to probably be a more regular character later. I mean, it would make sense since they're releasing a regular toy of her soon. Although, there are other characters I think would have been better than Cheerilee, like Apple Bloom, Big MacIntosh, Trixie, Granny Smith, Luna or Zakura. Even Spike would have been a better choice. It's ok, though. I do like Cheerilee's pose. I can't wait to get these. I just hope I can talk them into selling me the set all at once. I hate making tons of trips to different McDonald's only to find out I missed a few of them.
