I don’t think a full hiatus of nothing is good, since shelf space is hard to get back once it is gone. But just enough old stuff to hold the shelves, and maybe one or two new things is good. A slowdown to help people not get overwhelmed and caught up. Some breathing room to exhale before the next big tidal wave.
the MLP toyline must be profitable to some degree, but I don’t get the sense it is a big money maker. from an observers point of view they don’t push it like it is. they push Transformers and Nerf - all with simultaneous multiple sublines.
There's generally more emphasis on "boy" toy-lines anyway.
If you're a "must catch em all" kind of collector I totally understand taking a break during this time of course. Personally I'm not in love with the G4 or G4.5 toys, but love the cartoon series.Hasbro did something incredible with the TV series which brought MLP to a huge audience - as others have mentioned, how will they follow that success?As for an all new G5, collectors like us would have loads of ideas for how they should look and feel. (I just want them to be BIGGER than G4 ponies... they are too small lol.) But what would the next generation of children want to see ? That's the hard question. Toys reflect the culture of the time they were made which makes collecting so fascinating. What do you guys think children and collectors alike would like to see ?

G5 ponies reflecting the culture of the times? Slimy, glittery ponies that have bigger anime eyes, and can twerk? *throws my wallet into the fire*
