Quote from: LadyMoondancer on June 21, 2018, 12:51:35 PMYeah, I'm not sure if it's a "too big to fail" thing with Mattel or what, but the store was definitely aware of it as they were the ones warning the Hasbro employees about it. She (my friend) said she thought they were exaggerating until she saw it happening. She said she was glad that Mattel and Hasbro didn't end up merging, lol.I'm glad too.Post Merge: June 22, 2018, 08:21:52 AMQuote from: TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 on June 21, 2018, 03:56:37 PMQuote from: Leave a Whisper on June 21, 2018, 12:32:35 PMHow big do you think these G5s will be? I'm hoping Flutter or G3 sized.If they do give them similar proportions to the art they seemed to be leaning toward in the leaks, I would imagine to pull it off they'd have to be larger than G4s for sure. Maybe they could be about the size of G2s?I don't know how tall G2s are?

Hard to say! I'd love to see ponies be a bit bigger again. But having them smaller probably means more lines (like regular ponies + baby sea ponies + adult sea ponies + light up ponies) as it means Hasbro can jam more ponies into their retail space. I feel like toy aisles have really shrunk since the 80s, which makes me sad.

So with my wishes adjusted to their current product, all I want from them is thicker tails and a bit more equine anatomy. Size-wise they could go with the Luna/Cadence/Twilight figure.
I don't think they will get as big as G3. It's all about space now, so the consumer can buy more of the product. That's why I also think they won't add more mass to them, sadly. Because they are cheap with the amount of plastic that goes into one of those horseys.
Has anyone else taken a look at how much space is wasted on Fashion Style Tempest's packaging?

Has anyone else taken a look at how much space is wasted on Fashion Style Tempest's packaging? They could have almost added another whole pony in there with her! And they didn't even bother to put in some decent background art behind her so it's really obvious, all the wasted space.

Can't find a pic onlineI assumed Sunset was referring to the light-up Tempest. Here's a pic:Spoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or loginI can totally see the complaints here. At least the Rarity had some stickers to appear to take up space. No brush, no accessories, no landscape...underwhelming.
