We sure it isn't just Valentine's themed?

I wish, but I've already lost that level of faith in humanity long ago...

Mmhm.. Along those lines I love that the ponies unexpectedly hit it off with boys/men, 'bout time something went both ways in the other direction.

Buuut back on topic...

For those that are curious about the girls' bedding, here is what they look like:






EDIT:

I found the Girls Pillow Pals Donatello and Michelangelo today at the same store. So appears that they are making all four.

A reversible Karai plush would make sense (human-to-snake).

Thankfully Walmart has normal versions of these, but I can't find any locally.

Not crazy about the girl pillow buddies and collections
. I don't see the point in making them "girly". Guess they did it to better fit the girls section in the stores. When I was younger I wanted the real thing not pretty versions. I hated when people got me the pink and girly versions of toys. That's just me though.

But on to why I am posting. I picked this up today along with some figures that are in the back. I actually like it a lot. I might get the others.

I don't think there is anything wrong with it. It just never was my cup of tea.

Not alone that's for sure.

Not that the girlified versions of stuff isn't cute, but it gets old with the idea that things have to be that certain way in order for girls to like something. I mean, believe it or not, but I grew up liking primary colors equally the same as pastels. lol

(Edit: I suppose on the reverse it would be like them embracing that boys/men like the Pony stuff, but deciding to specifically market boyified versions that end up not being the same characters at that point. People like characters of franchises for who they actually are, no change necessary.)

I feel the same way. If a girl likes TMNT she will be happy with something from it no matter what. When my little cousin sees my merch she doesn't care that it's not girly. She's sees TMNT and gets super excited and wants to play with it all. That's why I said I don't see the point. If they like it they will buy it. I guess I just like things being accurate.

The pony's is actually a really good example of when people like something they don't care what it looks like.

Finally found some. I want one, but the fabric feels like a cheap throw blanket that would attract link and dirt so easily.
