What is there even to like? She doesn't even look MLP!
Quote from: hathorcat on March 12, 2014, 03:35:41 AMAm I the only one who feels some MLP merch moves further and further away from its actual core brand with every passing over stylised product? /rant overI agree with you. What's the point of My Little Pony if you need to cross it over with video game fandoms or post-apocalyptic scenarios to make it appeal to more people. I thought the point was that FiM can be enjoyed by kids and parents (adults), no need to dress it up as something it isn't. It looks like a try to make FiM look more "badass". Now I get why they made it Future Twilight. She is only so popular because her entire look was a shout-out to Metal Gear Solid. At first I thought it was funny how they snuck that joke in, but then I - once again - couldn't resist to see what the Bronies had to say about it and of course it was once again taken as proof that FiM is supposed to be for adult men and not for kids/little girls That's why I grew to hate Future Twilight, even though I liked the episode itself. She was overhyped for a long time and always mentioned when trying to prove that FiM "wasn't for girls anymore".About the statue, it's funny how G3(.5) did this kind of humanisation years before the FiM fandom came to be and yet when G3(.5) does it it's considered horrible and awkward by the FiM fancrazies ("how do they hold things with their hooves, why are they dancing on their hindlegs?!"), but when FiM fanarts do it it's cool and cute and merch gets made to cash in on the popularity. Double standards?

I never wanted anything from WLF, but I'd so buy a statue of a happy Cloud Chaser on a bubbly cloud with stars.

Cloud Chaser is absolutely adorable long with Flitter and they both need funko releases, and brushable releases! Like now. Thank you, their cutie marks remind me so much of G1 ponies, and the color schemes are gorgeous!
I'm way more excited for Diamond Select and Funko ponies, WLF has lost my interest but I'm sure Bronies will love these quality figures.
