Integrity Toys 2016 unveil: My Little Pony collection < 3 MLP

Integrity Toys announced last year that they had secured the license from Hasbro to do < 3 MLP (My Little Pony) inspired dolls to honour the fans of the My Little Pony brand.  This special-edition collection includes six fashion dolls and figures inspired by My Little Pony brand enthusiasts and fans of all ages, four boys and two girls. Each fan figure keeps the theme of their favourite MY LITTLE PONY character, wearing clothing and accessories inspired by that pony, complete with a "cutie mark" on their respective figures i.e. a tattoo matching the one on the pony. 

I was not expecting to like anything in this collection. It was a nice surprise to find that most of the dolls are looking great and I am already thinking of buying one of them. Jesse Ayala, the designer of this collection, has done an outstanding job in creating the dolls inspired by fans inspired by the ponies. The attention to detail and realisation is great and I am sure that the series, available in a staggering release through IT Direct only (and not through dealers) will be a success. Jesse also said that Alain helped him with the pony images on clothes and accessories and the design of the skateboard graphics. Each doll is an edition of 500, retailing at $130. w Club members will have the privilege of ordering ahead of public.

He's incredible looking, despite the pony mane on the hoodie. This is the one I will try to get when released. I love everything about him and his face is gorgeous too. The sculpt used is from the Jem & The Holograms doll Anthony Julian. I did not get that one, but this incarnation rocks. Great accessories too, the sneakers and the backpack are amazing. Love the t-shirt too.

This one is too cartoony, as expected. She is using the Jasper sculpt from the Dynamite Girls line. The skirt looks a bit Barbie play-line, other than that, the rest looks cute and in line with the brand license. Love the chic scarf tied at the bag.

Eccentric and colourful guy here, he has the Tenzin sculpt from the Color Infusion line. Too purple hair from me, hahaha! His shirt looks like it has a velcro fastening but I could be mistaken. Very detailed accessories and the glasses are TDF!

Cute as hell but that ponytail ruined it for me completely. Plus he's too baby-faced for a beard. He is using the Kieron sculpt from the Color Infusion line. I think I have enough clothes to replicate the look on one of my hommes but must find braces! The bag is a clever way to incorporate the Pony image, as was the clutch on Rarity.

The diva of the collection, if there ever was one! This one uses the Erin 1.0 sculpt from Nu Face. She reminds me so much of Lana Del Rey. If I had not had an Erin already, I might go for her. It looks like her top has a velcro fastening too. Her choker and boots are perfection.

If they had to make a bubble gum male doll, this would be it. Perfect match for Barbie if you ask me! He is using the Auden sculpt from Dynamite Girls line. I love the skateboard and the Chuck Taylor inspired sneakers - great placement of the pony eye!

  4. I actually like Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, and Applejack. I don't mind Applejack's ponytail so much, because the doll reminds me of Chris Hemsworth, who rocks the ponytail in my opinion. I would rather see the ponytail a bit lower, though. I would like to have seen what Rarity would have looked like as a female.
