Not only are the design elements funny, but the Dolls just don't follow the characters personalities. They've spent 4 seasons bulding these characters, but none of the dolls or toys for that matter follow it.  Not that I'm a total show only person, I mean, toys first always, but I just don't see Twilight dressing like that at all.

You think Twilight Sparkle, nerd princess of the library, wouldn't put on a starry purple tutu and some face paint, grab a microphone stand and belt out a rock solo? Why not? I don't see the discrepancy at all, said Hasbro execs. :lol:

I think I stated it in another thread... I really think this Rocks line would be more well-suited to the CMC and friends. They're all about talent shows and competing, and even have their own glam 80s jumpsuits to take inspiration from.

What's with the spikes...?
It's from the Rainbow Rocks line of EQG dolls...

I've got that much, but I never took Twilight for a KISS fan, or a He-Man space princess, or a punk rocker! :P This still reads like a misplaced measure of edginess to me. I just don't understand what Hasbro's is playing at. Who are their target audience for these things?

I'm incredibly interested in hearing about the creative process behind these. Hasbro probably knows lots if things that I don't. ;)

And don't get me wrong! I do love the little feets. Perhaps Hasbro was actually responding to fan criticism with this one!

Can't say I'm surprised. "Twilight Sparkle ALWAYS has the right purse" says the back of her pony Fashion Style box. I don't think the merchandisers have ever seen an episode of FiM.

I've sat on the fence about these dolls and have realised my BIGGEST peeve is that none of them come with the outfit they spend the entire film in. And those outfits are super duper cute. Why can't they be wearing those!? The footsies are cute but the new hands look nasty =/ One step forward and two steps back, uh.
Idly searching for: loose, good condition G4 Blossomforth, Starbeam Twinkle, Plumsweet. TTM Celestia doll's wings Within UK or EU only, please.
Will also take in Pretty Pony Club (UK magazine) fakies.

I'm with Bergamot. They give me a dollar-store-fakie vibe. But I have Rarity for my army and I will get the 5-pack for Luna. The box art is so cute, I wish the dolls looked exactly like them. I am happy they have feet now as that was my #1 complaint.

Anyone know if they are coming out with another show using this Rainbow Rocks theme? And where, oh where is Rarity?

I really don't see it as that much out of character. Yeah maybe if she was the only one who dressed like that while Dash dressed like a bookworm that would be odd but they are all like that. It's clear they are putting on some kind of concert together.

Rarity was the first one spotted :) She comes with the accompanying pony.

I believe the "Rainbow Rocks" thing is simply an off shoot of the "Rainbow Power" angle from the pony line in order to tie up the 2 lines.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
Loa is my love god!
I love Loa more than PonyLady!

What's with the spikes...?

This line still feels all kinds of clumsy and disorganized to me, and the "Now with FEET!" thing isn't helping me feel differently.

Nothing about it feels planned or cohesive, and the dolls still give me that "fakie" vibe, perhaps partly due to the fact that they do not look much like their on-screen counterparts. It really feels like they've just found some dollar store doll molds, colored them like EQG characters, and rolled them around in some surplus doll clothes.

I actually like the line, but I think I get what you're saying.  If I could change anything about them, I think it'd be the eyes--they just don't seem unique enough to the characters like the ponies, and they aren't as expressive as I'd like them to be.  Maybe with some time they'll get that way, though.

I still like the anthropomorphic angle to the line, and while I've been very tempted once I saw them in person, there still hasn't been one that I really wanted to throw money at.  I also thought about customizing for myself, since I'd love to see the cutie marks on the character's hips, but I think that might give parents a not-so-innocent vibe if that were to happen in the real line, so I won't hold my breath for that happening to the real thing.  XD

Are those painted leggings?

My pet peeve, along with molded tops...  :nope:
