The world needs more boy ponies, period. But I miiiiiight be biased on that

You know... you just can't please everyone...

Personally... I think Shining Armor is a HUGE... HUGE step forward for Hasbro. Troll hair & conformation issues aside.... he's the first "regular line" boy pony in darn near 30 yrs! That ALONE is enough to be excited about!!!

And honestly... while I will admit that his rump vs chest measurements are a bit off... look at it this way...

A. G4 ponies have been... "scaled" back from real "horses" quite a bit. In fact... I believe the change in their faces is really an effort to make them appear more human. And if that's the case... just look at the way MEN are built...

Large chest... smaller waist & hips.

Unlike women... large chest, small waist... and larger hips...

B. Look at his character design in the show...
Linking to the image... to avoid "spoilers".

(Ok... so it's not Shining Armor... but there are very few good screen shots of him out there.... But Blueblood's conformation si pretty similar...)

(Tho his chest isn't quite as pronounced... and it's a bit harder to tell with that jacket on... Fancy Pants is also similar in build...)

I dunno... looks JUST like the toy to me... :confused:

Maybe... the toy's jawline is a bit... exaggerated... but I don't care! he's white... he's a unicorn... and he's a HE!!!

Despite the flaws, I am super excited for Shining Armor's release.  I have every intention of buying him and Candence and I really hope they will release more boys in the future. 

Yay Hasbro!  This is totally a step in the right direction.

I like the troll hair... makes them a little different from the girls, you know?  And I like how troll hair styles.

I definitely want to see more boy ponies made.
However, I don't think Shining Armor's design resembles any of the other males too closely, least of all Big Mac.

Example: visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Their faces and bodies are completely different.  Big Mac is much more rounded and soft, Shining Armor is very angular, straight-backed and tiny waisted, just like his toy.  They could probably get away with making a Prince Blueblood out of the Shining Armor mold, as well as Fancy pants, but Big Mac?  Ehh...no.

I want them to make a Big Mac mold. :<  He would not look right at all in Shining Armor's mold.  But this is Hasbro we're talking about, I'm sure they'll put Big Mac in SA's mold.  Heck, they'd probably put Pipsqueak in SA's mold, complete with horn and everything.

As for male characters I'd like to see as brushable toys:

I wish they'd make him from a Big Brother mould. I know that's impossible though. What I'd really like is for boy pony moulds to have the hairy hooves again. It's just so cute. Especially for Big Mac, since he clearly has hairy hooves in the show!

[ladybrooklyn]

I think Big Mac is just that "iconic" character... he'll HAVE to get his own mold.

I just hope they include him with his harness... WHEN they do release him... C'mon Hasbro!!!

Big Mac definitely needs his own mold! Please Hasbro!

[butterflybuttons]

I'd live to see the hairy hooves for the boys, hopefully the molds for them is easily changed. Either way, I can't wait to see more boys!!!

[Leopard_Print_Unicorn]

Yes, except that's more ponies for me to spend money on and find space for

Ohhh, I totally agree with you. The Big Brother mold is perfect for Big Mac. I like Big Mac's design because I love draft horses. I think Hasbro should make a Big Mac plushie. >.<;;

[Flitter]

I like Shining Armor, I wouldn't mind seeing more boys from the same mold. I don't mind the hair either.
Tropical_Sunset wow I guess Shining and Big Mac's body type are quite different. I really hope there is a Big Mac toy someday. It seems he would need a different design to look more like him though.

WANT! I also love Shining Armour, I think he looks good as he is
