A mother pony can be protective of her young just like dogs.

The later years of G4 have a lot of gimmicks that make me go hmmm...
I think the worst offenders are:

The "silly face" Pinkie and Dash. Nightmare fuel!
The bead hair ponies
The ones with the waxy yarn hair
The magical scenes. Stare into your favorite pony's butt to see a magical world, kids!
And of course, the Pony Life's, that really stretch the criteria for what can be considered a pony

I also find the so-soft babies really weird, especially the duck-faced G4 ones.
And those early g4 plushies they sold at Target with the fluffy mohawk manes and muzzles that are ridiculously tiny, even by G4 standards.
And anything that talks and/or sings. I hated toys that made noise with a burning passion as a child, and even to this day, Sing N' Dance Pinkie Pie triggers my fight-or-flight response. Too uncanny valley for me!

I don't know what they were thinking with those mohawk ponies. They look rediculous  :lol:

I had to think hard about this, because I kept thinking of sets that I didn't like, but then thinking "Well, is it BIZARRE, though?"  For example I don't like the Drink 'n Wet babies, but dolls that pee are common so it's not that strange.  (Just gross, lol.)

So after a lot of thought, my answer is:  the Teeny Tiny ponies.  Hasbro already had molds for Newborn ponies who are about the same size and who are, IMO, a lot cuter.  The Teeny Tiny ponies' proportions are bizarre, they don't look like ponies . . . they don't even look like they can walk.  Just seems like a waste of money to make new molds when they could have just done another run of Newborn ponies.

I do wonder if they were originally planned to be "kitty friends".  I find it very suspicious that two of them are named Little Tabby and Little Whiskers.

Also that G2 set where you pull their manes off and replace them.  That's strange.

And, I don't know how I forgot about these at first, but the G3.5 Newborn Cuties.  "We'll combine horses with the literal proportions of a human newborn. Including knees facing the wrong direction!  It'll be great!"  (Narrator:  "It wasn't.")

Curiosity got the better of me.
But I will never unsee that.
