Target recently has gotten a new exclusive to add onto the large collection of exclusives they have had over the years. As most of their exclusives are, its based on the Alicorn's in the series.
This set is based on the three princesses that are out currently, Celestia, Cadance, and Luna. This set is 20 dollars at target stores, no longer available online but you can see if its available at your store through the item

These ponies are pretty just like hasbro's ponies usually are, but common complaints are with these as with most princess ponies. One of the biggest ones of course comes with Princess Celestia, they are still making pink versions of her even though they have recognized the fact she is suppose to be white. Even one of the latest toys that isn't a store exclusive has a white Celestia! The fact they are considering the pink almost seems like an insult, its not how the character is and there's no reason to keep doing it besides the fact they want to make money and not care about the pony designs. Anyway I'll get off that issue, I apologize Hasbro has gotten to me lately with the way things are going. These ponies come with a small set of accessories, 3 different kinds of hair clips for the ponies along with a small box that holds a ring. The ring seems to be a common accessory, though it changes between pony sets far as what it is. Another common thing with these ponies is the cape-like dress, it comes with several target exclusives and with the fashion ponies as well.
As I've said before these ponies are pretty, and definitely something a child will like to play with. They are nice toys and could be very fun for children. For the older collectors though I would say it purely depends on what they like. The pink Celestia could annoy collectors greatly, and there isn't a full reason to get this beyond wanting a Cadance pony. Even then the collector could get the fashion pony or the castle playset which comes with Cadance and Shining Armor. Even Luna has showed up in random sets though this seems to be the one that is closest to how she is, and may be a good reason to get this depending on the collector. I think whether or not you should get this purely depends on who it is for etc, but it is a nice set with no real problems in the design besides wrong colors.
. I got this guy as a gift for Christmas and I absolutely love him! He's made well and his cutiemark is amazing, I would highly recommend getting him! I have seen many different people do plushes of him but they are usually outrageous prices such as 100 dollars, I would highly recommend looking at this one before going with the higher price. As I'm writing this it says on her amazon page there is only 13 left so buy it quick before she runs out!
