Rebranding Brushables Spotted? (Royal Family in Packaging! Page 14)

[SpaceButtPonies]

I love them!

[Twilight Pink]

God I hope these are fake ._.

[otocolobus_manul]

Ack, they're horrifying! Their proportions are all wrong and their legs look broken! They look all... noodly! And these are going to stand out SO MUCH from existing G4. So much for uniformity, which was one of my favorite parts of the gen 

I hope these are just stolen molds made from posing the articulated ones, and not real.

Yeah, maybe I need to see them in person, but they look really off to me. I'll refrain from picking at the details that are throwing me off and be general. These look like scaled up 3rd party mini toys (like the kinders, fast food toys, busy book figures, etc.), and those were small cheap bonus like toys so you could kind of look past the imperfections.

I'm being honest when I say that while the standard lifeless pose of the G4s got stale fast, I genuinely loved the look and shape of them. they may not have matched the show style perfectly, but they were a great likeness and were super cute for being a three dimensional interpretation of a 2D style.

But hey, if people prefer these than what's my opinion matter? If this is a response from Hasbro that they are listening to complaints about how lazy they were getting with the G4 brushables, I'm all for it.

Agreed, the dimensions and proportions for the old molds were better. But yeah, if hasbros listening then that's a plus I guess.

I... really hope these are fake.. I dunno... they look too good to be fakes, but they don't look quite 'right', either.. either way, I'm not a fan. Something about them just doesn't sit right with me :s

This is how I feel, too. Yeah, G4 really could have benefited from more poses (and characters, geez), but there's just something genuinely charming and appealing about them. I can't put my finger on what it is, exactly, but these just don't have the same kind of charm.

I don't like how every slight change is a "NEW .5 GENERATION OMG!!!" If we did that with G1 the Sweetheart Sisters would have been G1.5.

Yeah, this. (Although to be fair, Sweetheart Sisters were in addition to the normal G1s, they didn't replace them or anything) It made sense to give G3.5 a different name since it was so different; these are similar enough to the current G4s that personally I don't think it's worth differentiating between the two.

I love that these are new, animated poses!! Cute!

[sd_dreamcrystal]

These are interesting and weird at the same time. I like the fact there are actual poses but there is still a lot of anatomy problems there..
If these are legit then they are going for the more pointed snouts like they did with the Pop Ponies (at least for the normal size ponies). I like that the normal sized ponies have a better looking horn but I don't car much for how the heads look, I know G4 has always had round golfball heads but these definitely show it.. I wonder if head swapping could be possible on these?

Here comes a thought (that might alarm you ) My theory is these are for the 2017 movie. Hasbro wants it to be special, and they wouldn't release regular old brushables so they want to do something BIG for the movie, y'know? To make it stand out. I think the regular ones we're used to will come back the year after the movie is released.

Well I'm kind of surprised RD, Pinkie, and Rarity are not seen
Two Twilights, one AJ, One Fluttershy, Celestia, and I guess since Lyra has a fan favorite

[Flitter]

How very interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about them yet but I will be waiting to hear more about them. They look too put together to be fakies but I wonder if they are real if they will replace the current design or be a separate thing. Very strange!

[Storybelle]

Am I alone in thinking they look completely hideous? 

[Twilight Pink]

Am I alone in thinking they look completely hideous? 

Nope. I'm right there in the same boat

I think we all might have opinion changes when we see them in person xD

[Noxxbunny]

Huh. These are interesting. I don't know what it is that seems a little off about them though. I think they're cute, and I like the new shape. Seems more accurate in a way, but...maybe the necks are sort of long? I think I'll like them more when I can style the hair properly.

[Taxel]

Lyra's open mouth really throws her off, and something about Celestia is off. I'm not a fan. But the others? Wow they're cute! I'd absolutely buy a couple with closed mouths, even with Hasbro's quality control issues, because they're just so adorable. I wish G4 had looked like this from the start!

[sd_dreamcrystal]

Lyra's open mouth is fine, I think what throws her off is her eyes because they look like they are in the wrong spot.
Looking at them again, something seems off with their ears to me
