The ones you’ve seen on FB are customs someone has been making. Basic Fun hasn’t got the licensing for any TAF’s yet.

If Basic Fun got the licensing for TAF of both sets and the TAF Babies, I'd get one of each and 2x the TAF Babies.

Oh that's a great checklist thank you I just saw this grey/blue applejack on another thread, I can see now it's the Stranger Thing one! Makes sense that all is upside down with her ^^

I keep refreshing the Farm & Fleet website but nothing. And ditto to what someone said about TAF, especially TAF babies. The Sugarberry one is adorable.

 

[chii]

Nothing at Cracker Barrel where I'm at, either.

I'd also love it if BF released TAF babies. They are so cute!

If you live near a Blain's location, TEs will be in physical stores starting Oct 1 as part of their holiday toy extravaganza. As of August BF was shipping to Blain's, CB, Meijer, and Toy R Us Canada.

TE won't be sold online thru Blain's unfortunately. I was so excited when I saw them listed, but after contacting Blain's, I learned TE's are only listed online to advertise for the holiday thing in physical stores. Not sure that tracks, but ok.

Hoping to see the TE's in CB around Oct 1, but haven't gotten any specific intel.

Ahhhhhh TAF babies would be AMAZING!!! Every single one is a holy grail pony for me. Haven't been able to bring myself to drop two bennies for a vintage one yet. And TAF Buttons yes please---hey, now that Fizzy is pending, BF has the mould, right?

Can someone post a photo of those TAF ponies?
Thanks..!

They are fan made ponies and sadly not ours to share as the creators have asked not to spread photos as to not confuse the masses. They also wanted to avoid issues with BF as they added to the packaging as well.

Well, there is one TAF Pony Basic Fun made. Majesty.

 

[Stellaluna]

Man, I really dropped the ball with these. I don't know... I guess I thought they'd always be around and that BF would keep making more. I only just recently became interested in them but I guess it's too late. My Targets don't even stock BF products anymore.

Spring of 2022 from what I hear.
