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

I may be one of the few people who ignore the .5. To me G3 is G3, even though those ponies have a slightly different style they're not different enough in my opinion to call them anything other than G3.

Same goes for these new edition ponies, they're G4, there is not really a huge difference from the original G4 for me to say it's a whole new generation of ponies.

Same thing with Sea Ponies, or Sweetheart Sisters or Flutter Ponies. They have a slightly different body style but anyone who is educated in MLP knows the difference and that it's still part of the first generation G1 of MLP.

Anyone who is into MLP looking at these ponies are not going to mistake them for G1 or G2.

And I'll take everyone back to the past. G1 ponies were never called G1 ponies until the ponies in the 90's started showing up in stores, that's when the G2 label came into existance. The only reason we started using the generation G1/G2 in the collecting community was because Hasbro reused some of the names from G1 on G2 ponies.

So as a collector to help with confusion, we started using the generation tag to help identify which pony with the same name we were talking about. I don't thing we have to take the numbering system for generations to far - and most of us can take pictures of what we're talking about if there is confusion. Gotta remember back in the day it wasn't as easy to load up pictures and post them...now everyone has a camera or phone that can snap a pic, etc.

Dear Hasbro,
Have you ever seen an open mouth? Like, anywhere? On a horse? A dog? A person?!

That's not how mouths work!!!! The noes does not lift up! The jaw goes down!

Please throw this mold out. Why are you so obsessed with it?! These could be so cute if their mouths weren't straight out of a nightmare.

Thank you,
Someone who knows what an open mouth looks like

I am actually glad that Hasbro is trying to make an effort, for the past years I haven't bought hardly any new brushables because of their poor quality and re-releases of the same ponies over and over. But now that we are starting to see these new changes, we know that Hasbro is at least trying to work on their toys,so they must know that people are getting tired of their re-releases. Just because they are trying to make a new set of brushables does not make it better, they obviously don't have nearly as good hair as they did in the 2011-2012 era, and they don't look at a real horse's anatomy.

I appreciate what they are trying to do, but their toys just keep becoming more and more less horselike.

Well they are based on the show and in the show they have a wider range of motion than I guess a real horse would. What I wonder is since I never saw it and know nothing about horse anatomy do they follow the rules of horse anatomy in Tales? From the description they sound pretty humanized.

[Dragonflitter]

The Tales character toys were done in G1 molds, so yes, they were pretty accurately horse-like in their anatomy. For pastel pony toys, anyway.

[Carrehz]

I haven't seen it in a while, but from what I remember Tales' animation style - the anatomy and such - was about the same as MLP and Friends when they were walking on all fours and more human-y/anthropomorphized when they were on their hind legs. If that makes sense, heh.

[Sunset]

The ponies in Tales often moved in more human ways.  But the toys used the same g1 molds as other g1s.

What we have here is the dichotomy of the people who are fans of mlp toys because they are "ponies."  And those who are fans of the cartoon *despite* it being about "ponies."

It doesn't take a great deal of knowledge about horses to know that one can't possibly bend its front legs around to touch it's face.  Really it's just more evidence that the brand has moved a long way from its origins as a horse toy to now being a cartoon driven toy.

Why don't we just give the new poses names like G1 and G3 had different names for different poses.  (ex shy pose, shy Pegasus, walking, diva, and  donkey poses)

"Large alicorn pose", "princess pose", "small alicorn pose"
 "Walking unicorn pose", "Walking Pegasus pose",
 "Laughing Pegasus", "Laughing unicorn"
etc.

We could ID them by saying "fluttershy in Laughing Pegasus pose (FS/LP)"

Im not very creative, Im sure someone can come up with better pose names.

Maybe the current G4 brushables could be the standard pose, and reboot ones could be reboot/variant poses?

There's those purse ones. I wonder if they will only be in TRU once the rest of the world gets them?
