The mouth looks pretty beany to me.

Also note that I put CalArts in quotes there... to convey that it's the usual moniker for such a style. Never said I approve of the nickname myself.

It's true there's always been trends in cartoons, but the bean mouth one is a pretty pervasive one and it's one I'm getting sick of.
Fair enough, sorry if I came across as too aggressive, and in fairness, I did say that it still has that style in places, but I still see a distinct difference between this and the usual bean mouth style.

Again, fair enough, but I'm ultimately okay with any art style, so it needs to do something really "wrong" for me not to like it.
I will confess to being a brony, but I assure you that the things you may not like about them do not apply to me, I mostly keep the fandom name due to nostaligia, but I do genuinely love MLP as a whole, not just FIM, and not just the popularity of FIM - I genuinely love the show (and all the others)

I get not liking stylistic choices, but I don't think I've seen a 2D cartoon in the past five years that hasn't been accused of being "CalArts style".  Even shows with wildly different styles.  I honestly don't know what it's supposed to mean.  It can't mean "bean mouth" because people said the new She-Ra show was CalArts style and it didn't have that style of mouth.

Edit:  Never mind about the 2D qualifier, as I just came across someone calling the 3D He-Man show CalArts style. (I was googling the term to make sure I'm not crazy, lol.)  Apparently He-Man is CalArts style because "he got desexualized and his muscles aren't as defined any more".

Oh, the term definitely gets overused, I don't dispute that. Was just using it for clarity really since it had been used earlier on in the thread...

I haven't seen the smaller mainline toys in person yet, but it looks like they have different and more off-putting faces then the bigger toys and the moulded toys.

I haven't enjoyed pony offerings since G3. I humored my husband and picked out Fluttershy for him to buy during the G4 times. I mean, if he HAD to get a G4, at least she was a pegasus and yellow. I loathe G5. They look like Steve Carell with those eyebrows.

Also is that a baby dragon? (Green figure that comes with the boombox)

It is! His name is Sparky! He's adorable  :biggrin:

Anyways as cute as the Polly Pocket theme is, it doesn't look like there are any brushable offerings for this year, confirming my suspicions that brushables have been phased out entirely for molded mane action figures and LOL Surprise rejects mini figurines. Looks like my pony collecting days are over, I'm not interested in any of this stuff. If Hasbro would continue putting out products of similar quality to the Fashion Style Izzy and Sunny I would have gladly continued collecting G5 stuff but this? Yeah y'all can keep it.


I wonder if that's a little nod to the princess dragon Spark? Despite it being the wrong color.

Doubtful. I don't think Hasbro US knows anything about the stuff in the UK now, even if they once did.

Perhaps your right.

Holy Beanmouth, Batman! :0
Is the Netflix show gonna look like this or the movie?

The Pony Pockets are amazing, though. G5 as a whole seems to be more figure than doll, which is fine by me. My old butt is done with new gens. More for the kids to enjoy!

Neither. It's just a Youtube spinoff thingy they're doing.

Closer to the movie, although with some reductions in quality to make it cheaper.
