Okay, okay, these ones are cute. :lol: Hate the horse puns in the names but their designs are nice. Except for their eyes, of course. The eye of the in-box Peggy Mane (ew, that name) looks terrible.

Can Hasbro read the reviews/impressions on these things so they can fix the eyes already? XD I'd like to think the complaints about the 2017 ponies led them to improve the G4.5s. In a perfect world they'd listen. A lot of people are on board with these ponies but the eyes are just SO bad that they ruin it. Every person I see talk about them are like "I like them, but something feels off" or "I like them, except for the eyes!". I feel like with G4 it's easy to brush off criticism as "oh it's a kids' toy, kids don't care about quality", but with these it seems targeted towards an older, if not adult audience. I would expect better quality and care put into these.

These ones don't have the custom art like the other crossovers, but I guess it would be harder to come up with something interesting. A pony playing Twister could take up too much space. Something is possible for the Lite Brite pony, though, I think.

hahaha oh my god, how weird! Are there dedicated Twister/Lite Brite fandoms that'll buy these or something??

I have to say, I do like these, though. Peggy Mane's body colour is so pretty!! (hate her name, though) The only thing ruining them are those awful eyes >_< If they could just move them up a bit, they'd be perfect.

Ahhh! I need Lite-Brite! They're so cute! Idc, they're horsey enough. I like that they're using the retro art. And look, the Twister pony has symbols on both sides! Thanks MLP Merch.

I saw these posted on Tumblr and EQD! Fell in love with Lite Bright pony at first sight! Twister pony is fine, but I feel like (white body w rainbow hair) is overdone.

At least Twister pony's eyes can be easily fixed, seeing that the body is white. Doesn't she remind you of Starlite?

LOL They're just riding on the wave of general nostalgia. "What do adults who are willing to spend $$$ remember from their childhood?"

With any luck, the eye placement will be fixed on the sale copies.

Also: "What other Hasbro products can we cross over with?"

...Calling it now: We're gonna get a Mr. Potato Head crossover pony. Hopefully they'll also do a Moon Dreamers one.

Said this on the Trading Post, saying it here too: Part of me feels that Right Hoof Red should instead be called Rainbow Hop
should be perma-moderated

I kinda like 'em! I wish they had brushable hair though. The eyes are a bit weird.

Moondreamers and Jem.

For the record, we already have a potato head pony.

The Lite Brite Pony’s name is Peggy Mane? I agree that’s a terrible name. I like that her mane and tail look like Lite Brite pegs. I would love these if the eyes were placed properly.

Yes. :)

If there’s a Jem pony there needs to be a Misfits pony too. :D

Yeah, I showed my mom Peggy Mane (she was a late 60's baby but..close enough!) and she thought it was adorable!

Unfortunately I doubt we would get a Moondreamers pony. They seem to be sticking with brands that are currently active in some way. And the only reason Jem is still active is because there's a huge devoted fanbase that's big enough to throw a yearly convention. I have never heard of a Moondreamers convention.

That's a MLP themed Potato Head. This would be a Potato Head themed pony.
