Okay, so what toys would the other Mane 6 be and why?

Pinkie is definitely something that makes noises and causes parents to contemplate murder.
Applejack is an actual shovel and and a parent's guide to child labor laws.

Oh, that's how they're replacing Don Rickles in Toy Story 5.

Buzz Lightyear is Rainbow Dash

Rex is Fluttershy.

Slinky is AJ

Woody is Celestia

Andy is Twilight.

"Oh, darling! You're here too?" Rarity trotted up to the toy store where her friends were looking in the front window. "I heard a company had released a toy based on all of us, and I just had to hurry over here to see."

It was a little strange how all of her friends drew together and blocked Rarity's view of the shop window, much as if some unspoken command had circulated among them. Stranger still was the way Spike had just frozen up with wide eyes and barely open mouth, much as if he had spotted some sort of upcoming volcano.

"I understand your toy has something to do with apples," said Rarity slightly slower to Applejack. "I would scarcely think otherwise. And Fluttershy's has something to do with creatures, I would suppose."

The poor dear tried to say something, but wound up merely nodding. Shifting her attention to the one friend who had no problems at all talking about herself, Rarity nodded cordially to Rainbow Dash and added, "Does yours fly, perchance?"

"Um... Yeah," admitted Rainbow. "It doesn't really look much like me, and neither do any of the others, so maybe we all should just laugh about this and go... to the spa or something," she finished in a rapid burst of words.

Keep going...

As long as I'm posting: I just discovered that SuperTrampoline is in minor fiscal distress. How minor? He needs a four-day loan. Of fifty dollars. And has, at this writing, about two and a half hours to acquire it.

Or overdraft fees will strike.

He had another way of describing that, but I won't repeat it here.

Fifty dollars? Surely that's small potatoes...

ETA: Overdraft averted: he's solvent again.

I’m tempted to buy one. I’ve already got the horrifying Sunset Shimmer . . .

This is how the world of Toy Story realizes that toys are sapient: Thousands upon thousands of horrified cries of existential despair, each one coming from a fabulous potato.

And then some crazy old coot named Sid rants about how he knew about it all along and nobody believed him.

Seriously though, why does that marshmallow think that wearing a potato skin makes her look better?

. o O ( "Oh, hi. So, how are you holding up? BECAUSE I'M A *POTATO*." )

:pinkiehappy:

Oh God, what have you done? WHAT IF THE CLOP WRITERS SEE THIS?:fluttershbad:

5082666
See that I needed money?

5082653
Damn it all. I literally just came back here to post that.

5082618
I was picturing one of those old timey hand cranked air raid sirens, but it also mysteriously dispenses confetti and candy.

Further thoughts: Fluttershy is a humble handcrafted stuffy. Dash is a bike and a non negotiable crate of Monster. Twilight is a tablet that reminds you of chores, homework, and alerts your parents if either isn't done.

Something something outrage that she isn't a marshmallow how dare they who do they think they are

Bold direction change for Gen 5...

Joke's already been made, but GLaDOS does have an almost Rarity sort of vibe to her.

This sounds a little like the story I've had in mind about Rarity discovering her picture on a box of macaroni and cheese mix.

Yours is much better, though!

I have no words.:derpyderp2:

Notice that there is a spot on either side for wings?

Congratulations Rarity, you’re going to become a princess. Bad news though, you have to turn into a potato first...

A profit-seeking entity released this? :rainbowhuh:

Well, if Celestia can be a banana, I guess Rarity can be a potato...
Twilight... what are you doing with that sledgehammer?
*Stellar races away from her infuriated sibling...*:twilightangry2:
:facehoof:

Oh, I don't know, I'd say it has appeal. And certainly all eyes are on her.

Nah, that's probably just them re-using the body for the entire product line, because the whole point is that you can mix-and-match. That said, "Twilight will not outlive her friends" will take more than a lack of immortality on her part, because Rainbow Dash.

You say Rar-tay-to
and I say Rar-tah-to...

You're right, that is a weird product

Thinking about it's pretty clear what all the main six should be toy wise. First of course Rarity should be a fashion doll akin to barbie with a silly amount of dress accessories available. Twilight should be a book reading toy (though almost any learning toy could work) that bugs you about buying new books at the end of every recording. Dash is of course a die cast metal jet toy, it lights up and makes some noises too. Fluttershy is a stuffed animal with velcro attached tails/ears/wings/horns that you can swap about to make differnt animals, including some that don't actually exist. AJ is a cowgirl action figure of course, leading to some odd questions if her horse is red, yellow, or pale green, and even odder if it's orange. Pinkie is stretchy rubber toy that makes noises when you squeeze it, louder and more annoying the harder you do, but there is no batteries so there is no easy way to stop the noise.

So, I went to buy one of these silly things, and I found a seller on Amazon that had them!

But then I got a letter. (Well, an e-mail.)

“Hi Admiral Biscuit,” it began.

Seller Radar Toys And Collectibles has a message for you.

Well, isn’t that nice, I thought. They’re so pleased with my order, they want to send me an early thank-you!

Alas, as the letter continued, my hopes were dashed.

I have some bad news! We had oversold the Mr. Potato head to you. I'm not sure why Amazon said we had this item! We're investigating it. I'm sorry for the error and we'll send a full refund up right away for you. Let me know if you have any questions.

Richard

I do have some questions, Richard. In what world do you end a sentence containing the phrase ‘bad news’ with an exclamation point? Why not simply a period--somber, business-like . . . or, if you’d wished to be more hip, you could have had an emoji sad-face of some sort.

Anyway, I regret to say that it’s now quite unlikely that I’ll be able to attempt to casually toss one of these babies on the table in front of you at Quills and Sofas.

Luckily, it turns out fashion crime Sunset is still available.
