For the most part, I like them. I like different poses and personality in toys. I admit the faces do look weird. My main issue with them is that the mane is like human hair, it's only on the head, and doesn't extend down the neck like horses' mane do. But that's one of my issues with G4 in general; they don't look ANYTHING like actual ponies.only g2, and vaguely g1 actually resembled real ponies, though.

If we aren't calling them G4.5 (which is fine by me), then what are we calling them? G4 Reboot?

Some people are calling them that. I'm ok with either term. I suspect that discussion on that will go back and forth for some time to come.
The real question is going to be what happens if Hasbro decides to redesign them again and FiM is still going. Would it be called G4.75? Reboot 2.0?
I don't call them G4.5s because I honestly don't think they look very different from previous G4s. I think people perceive them as being radically different because we've had 6 years of the same two molds, lol.

Not a fan. I don't like the shape of their heads, or their facial expressions. I also hate the way the legs are thin at the top and thicker at the bottom, and the new poses don't do it for me. I thought the older design was quite cute and pretty, so I'm not very happy at the redesign.

I might be warming up to that Celestia and Shining Armor sets :)
but not yet convinced
the mane 6 with closed mouths also are not looking as bad as the ones with open mouths or crazy poses.
we'll see, maybe when they are 50 % off :)
also wondering about the FS ponies, how are they going to come out at the end, I will have to bite the bullet for new Characters like Bird Song (Sia pony ) and maybe some Mermaid ponies, but they are not convincing me either , the ones I have seen look like the inserted a bird in their rear :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: and then their facial expressions are not helping much LOL sorry :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

I think Celestia is my favorite so far. I bought the set with her and Fluttershy recently. I also bought the Shining Armor/Princess Cadance set and Cadance still looks ugly (that HEAD!!!), but SA looks good!
I agree that the closed mouths are better than the open ones. There's just something a bit off about them.
I'm veeerrryyy interested in what future FS ponies will be like, since I've made it my mission to collect all of them. I hope we get new characters!
I've a horrible feeling that Hasbro had decided to permanently set up camp in Ugly Town.
i meant to give my 2 cents on this after seeing them in person! I went to TRU last week and picked up a couple things, and i really wanted to grab one of the new brushables but a) they were almost completely out and b) they were like 10$?? which i thought was like kinda totally outrageous... theyre smaller than the old ones and pretty much only come in those plastic purses.. i was really annoyed at how expensive they were, so decided to leave without any. but i really wanted the rarity one, just because i love her. i was not overly impressed with them, but i don't hate them. im glad hasbro is at least trying to make more poses. I don't mind their legs, i think its their faces that put me off the most.
The purse thing is one of the "playset" gimmicks. They do have them individually for about $5 as well. So far there are 8 that they've released just as singles. The mane six plus Lyra and Cheerilee.
Do the Sea Ponies even count as part of the Reboot/4.5 since we've never had them in the G4 toy line yet? Anyway, I really think the new style works well for them and I think I need them all. Also, I'm not so keen on the regular ponies but I think I'll cave and buy new characters, too.

They're starting to grow on me. I hated them at first, but I'm starting to like them.
The open-mouthed ponies looks as though they're screaming to me? I have the singular Twilight and I like her well enough.
I like some of the action playset ponies. But overall I think the eyes are ridiculously large. They take up the entire face. And this coming from someone who collects dolls with big heads/eyes.

There's no hint of a cheekbone, the whole face is too round and smooth. Hasbro needs to seriously redesign these things. They keep this up and the ponies will end up being nothing but talking eyes.
Can't stand them and I will not be buying them. They look deformed to me, and so far from anything that might resemble a pony. Also, they look so cheaply made that I would resent spending the money on them when Hasbro can't be bothered to make a decent product :(
I don't really like them.. I had a bunch when I was younger so I guess I used to like them. I do own some but they were given to me. Out of all my childhood MLP, only a G4.5 was found, I have to admit it was pretty difficult to get rid of it even though I don't really like that generation..

are you thinking of g3.5? : O
4.5 was just released like two months ago! they look like this:

I rather liked them until I saw one in person - the hair is nowhere near far enough down their heads, their eyes are all printed down too low, and their legs look great from the side but from behind or in front they look too flat. I might pick some up for customs but not any to keep. I wish they'd go back to sculpted eye sockets. :(

That cost Hasbro money and effort and they can't have that. :poke:
I think the bottom line for Hasbro is that they more closely match the show and little girls (4 year olds, 5 year olds, up to 8 maybe 10 years old?) will instantly recognize these new 4.5s as being right from the show without a doubt. As much as I love the G4, I think the show-match recognition was based largely on the packaging art. It's almost like Hasbro designed G4s before Lauren finalized her designs and now seven years later Hasbro has caught up.
Anyway these look great on store shelves and that's why they are produced. my2c.
I actually really like them a lot, and while they've missed the mark a little by making Lyra's eyes too close to her muzzle and Cadance's eyes too small, I'm hoping they'll rectify this with future releases and I've been buying them. So far I have Celestia, Philomena, Cadance, Shining Armor, Baby Flurryheart, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Lyra, Rarity and Twilight and I'm fond of all of them :) I feel if Cadance had a crown she'd look far better. It's that bare forehead that's making her look sad. But so far it's been reeling me back into My Little Pony again, which is nice. I was seriously hating the Rainbow Power and random tattoos. These new toys are the most show accurate thus far and I feel like they put forth a good effort designing them. Plus, how can I possibly complain with all of these different and interesting moulds??
It's probably gonna be on another thread - but on tumblr I saw a new G4.5 Luna! though her cutiemark was backward! LOL
It was? Oops!
It was? Oops!
Here's an Amazon product link (showing her backwards cutiemark):

I've bought a few... The Celestia set, the Cadence/SA set, and a few of the singles. I'm still of mixed opinions. I think I've just accepted them since based on everything shown at Toy Fair, this is what we're getting for at least the next year. They sure make me miss G1 and G3 though. I liked when the majority of ponies were actually pretty to look at. One reason I love my G1 so much is that they're just very soothing to me to look at.
Just incomprehensible.

I'm not a big fan of the new style, I don't really care to even go down the pony isle any more..
you know.. out of the reboots I have yet to find the actual sets that come with 2 ponies...
I don't call them G4.5s the style isn't that drastic of a change but it sure is ug-ly!
-_-
I don't mind them at all. They're really cute! Especially the new fashion sz onesThe FS size does have a nice look , not as bad as the little ones, but I have not caved in for them so far .
:good:
Well I did it! I bought some today that were super cheap!how cheap, what store ?
I don't call them G4.5... they're not different enough (imo) for that... I just say the reboot and/or movie style, even if that's clunkier lol. I do like them more than I thought I would though... and at least they add a little variety to what we've been seeing for the last few years. :):biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
