Speaking of Newborn Cuties I have to mention this animated Newborn Cuties short.

It’s really funny when you realize in Runaway Rainbow the ponies didn’t know about Unicornia yet but here they mention that everyone knows where unicorns come from.

I get why some  people like them so much.  But definitely not my think.  I'm not a huge chibi-style fan, so that might have something to do with it!

Newborn Cutuies...meh they're okay.  I like them better than the adults

Honestly I think the lack of characters is the biggest turn-off of G3.5, to me. I'm not a fan of the style to begin with, but if there were more characters I'm sure I would've been converted eventually ;) that's how G4.5 got me.

I dont really get why so many people seem to love Gusty? I think she is rather boring. Ok, the red strike in her hair is nice, but the dark green is so dull.  The other unicorns from that set is so much prettier imo, but still, hasbro choosed Gusty to make several variants of... :P

I don't dislike Gusty, but I was gutted when I realised we may have come super close to having Ribbon instead ;) I really love Ribbon. I'd have loved her as a kid. I don't hate Gusty, and I grew up with her in the sense a friend of mine had her and I now have that pony, so I have a nostalgic fondness for her. She was also pushed down our throats in the comics as well. So I can't dislike her. But I'm just kind of...give me Ribbon. Seriously.

I like the glittery symbol Gusty better than the UK one. Which might seem an impossible opinion from me but it's true. I really want a Fable Gusty because I feel like she's the perfect Gusty and the one we didn't get.

But if it's a choice. Give me Ribbon. Anyday.

Imagine if Ribbon had been available in the UK in Gusty's pose  :lovey:
I would probably have about ten. Gusty is nice, one of my favourites, but RIBBON *grabby hands*

Unpopular opinion: I'm not that bothered about MLP having a cartoon to go with it, in fact I would prefer if it didn't. A generation that was just ponies and merchandise (like G2) or mostly ponies and merchandise with a cartoon that isn't really important (like G1) would be ideal at this point. I am just done with it being All About The Show, and this whole "the Mane 6 must always be for sale because of people just getting into The Show". I just want pony toys!! The show is fun (sometimes; when it's not moralising boringly), but it dominates too much.

I'm with you on this one, Shaz :) It was alright when the cartoon was just a secondary thing and the main focus was still on the toys, but FiM has just taken over tooooo much.

I like Ribbon pretty good in Ribbon's pose. But I never thought about one in Gusty's. O.O. Someone make that happen, please O.O.

Ribbon deflocked matches Baby Ribbon really well, incidentally. She'd have been the perfect addition. She didn't need a glitter symbol because Ribbon never had one. So Ribbon! Ribbon, Hasbro! Get yourselves sorted out!

I also agree about the TV show. I am fine with there being one, but I don't like when the show > the toy line. I had 4 episodes of MLP as a kid on VHS. I watched them loads but I wasn't really invested in them as dictating my world view of ponies. Even the comics, which I read more and remember pretty well, didn't dictate how I played ponies. I loved that moment of personal imagination...I always kept their names, but I made my own stories and I think that's what ponies should be about. :/

Never been a fan of the so soft gimmick even as a kid. In fact, I remember buying Wind Whistler, who became my favorite pony. Growing annoyed that under all that fuzzy fuzziness must be a really awesomely colored pony. Only to find there was no easy way to remove it, oddly enough I loved fuzzy stickers just not on my ponies.

I didn't like the SS gimmick but I settled for SS Paradise and suddenly loved the gimmick when it's nearly mint.

I dont hate Gusty either :P but cannot really relate to her popularity. She seems to be one of the most popular ponies to collect variants of. She is nice, but yeah, there are far more prettier ponies then her, imo ^^
And yes, I would definately have prefered Ribbon instead of Gusty in that set. Her colours are lovely! But I'm glad she made it as a baby at least ^^

Agreed about the cartoon as well. I loved the mlp G1 episodes, but it never bothered me that I was not able to get that exact pony, or that all ponies didnt reappear in the episodes. For me, I guess it was like, well, ponyland is full of ponies, and this episode just happens to be about these particular ponies, while other episodes featured what adventures other ponies did. It didnt have to be the same ponies on every single adventure, but different adventures happened to different ponies, just like in real life.
But I guess the market today is different, you have to franschise yourself to stand out from the tons of different toys out there. but for me? Nah. I want diversity. Even though Im a variation collector, I dont need 362 different versions of Pinkie Pie...

I just don't see the big deal about Gusty either! She seems very plain to me and while I love the idea of a grumpy pony, I dislike her voice.  I am also a Ribbon lover. She would probably be my second favorite if Cloud Dreamer didn't exist. (Bouquet would then be my first favorite.) Ribbon has such unique colors and now I also really want to see her in the Gusty pose  :lovey:
