Nice to see they went with the name Celestial Ponies instead of Fancy Swirl! Celestial is so much more fitting and I think maybe most well known even though they weren’t released originally?

Also have they changed the names? I thought they were Pearlshine, Swirlabout, Mistyglow and Starswirl? Unless they changed a couple to be more fitting or maybe all, I don’t know

EDIT:
Are the new names Aurora, Borealis, and… a new Milky Way? If there was some full name pictures somewhere that’ll be great

I think Milky Way, Nova and Aurora

I think Milky Way, Nova and Aurora

Oh yes, I missed out Nova.
Does this mean we might not get a BF Milky Way if it really is Milky Way?

There’s 4 celestial ponies. The last one is Polaris

Dear Santa,

I have been very good this year. Yes, I know it's only January. If I could please have a set of the mini ponies and the Celestial Ponies, I would really appreciate it.

Love,

Darcerin

That’s a pretty nice name. That’s the one I thought may have been Borealis but that was just a guess. I thought it would’ve been too close to Aurora

So Nova, Aurora, Polaris and Milky Way?

In this photo that I missed earlier shows Polaris on the card beneath the mystery bags (Someone pointed it out on facebook)

seems like it's Nova, Polaris, Aurora and Milky Way. As much as I like Milky Way, I agree it's a repeat of the original G1 and not as creative lol. But I still like them!

Ah, I see!

I still like the names too but it does make me wonder what will happen to the original Milky Way, if that pony will ever be remade, be released in any form (like the figures shown) or skipped

Eeeehhh! But when you're looking at the pink one, the pattern stops at the neck, where it fades out.... the blue and and the box image for the pink one both show the pattern continuing onto the head.... I know some people have said "each one will probably be different" and I agree, but that kind of difference seems like it has to be intentional. It surely must be, so I would think they'd choose between the two patterns. But they're still showing off both?

I don't know if I've not seen their names before or if I just forgot (probably forgot), but dang... those are some amazing names, I need these ponies even more now.

I cannot wait for the Celestial ponies! I already have all the G1 original releases so don't get too excited for BF but this is something new but still "old" and I love it!

I agree! I really am excited!

Whoa, blowing my mind a bit here! I designed a custom boy uni called Nova and a baby pony named Aurora back around 2000! Not that they’re the most unique names, but seeing them as official pony names is wild!!

I love those names They should have used Nebula instead of Milky Way.

Take a look at the pink one in the box behind her- it appears the pattern goes up to the head there? Hard to tell. I think each will be different

I agree, Nebula is a great name! At least it won't recycle an old name

Yes, I love that!!
