"We just revealed the next exciting chapter for the MY LITTLE PONY franchise: MY LITTLE PONY: PONY LIFE, an all-new animated series launching next year. More surprises to be revealed soon, we’re feeling good!"
Pony Life relocates the ponies to Sugarcube Corner, a local bakery hangout run by Pinkie Pie, which also houses a mysterious cache of magical potions to be broken out when the need arises. The new series will feature all of Friendship Is Magic‘s beloved ensemble — including Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, and Fluttershy — as well as the same voice actors returning. Befitting the title, Pony Life‘s stories will reportedly be more “slice of life”-oriented than the adventure-driven Friendship Is Magic.
“We are thrilled to reveal a new, magical chapter for the MY LITTLE PONY franchise – and it’s funnier, sweeter and warmer than ever!” says Samantha Lomow, President, Hasbro Entertainment Brands. “Our magical MY LITTLE PONY makeover is inspired by our fans who are looking for more ways to experience their favorite characters from the MY LITTLE PONY world. We are also bringing the magic to life with all new ways to play so our fans can experience the magic through engaging new products. We hope fans of all ages will enjoy exploring a fun new side of friendship and all the new story magic MY LITTLE PONY: PONY LIFE has to offer as we gear up for the launch of the all new MY LITTLE PONY movie from Paramount on September 24, 2021.”
The new MY LITTLE PONY: PONY LIFE show looks at the funny side of friendship. The new center of the world is Sugarcube Corner – just like going to a friend’s house after school, this is our ponies’ home away from home. Here, Pinkie Pie serves up frosted cupcakes to the best customers in the world— her friends! PONY LIFE episodes feature hilarious, “SLICE OF LIFE” stories that modern kids can relate to. The series is LOADED with magic, including a mysterious source of potions that Pinkie keeps hidden behind the bakery counter and breaks out when the need arises.

I'm a little amused they put the word "hell" in a promo video for MLP though. :silly:

Is it just me, or does spike look like a girl in the title card? Also, are ponies mouths made of super stretchy rubber? And big teeth? Because those are some pretty big mouths. I guess it works, but this does look like it’s going to be obnoxious. Aka, the opposite of the widely successful and popular friendship is magic. You’d think hasbro would learn what works, and do that. Make quality cartoons over obnoxious toy advertisements?
So please be ready for six versions of Pinkie Pie, because that's exactly what we're going to get. Oh sure Rainbow will get a few 'cool' lines with her jokes, and Pinkie will be the one throwing pies and doing the physical humor, and Fluttershy's jokes will be about being anxious, but every single character will be "the funny one." That's what happened with TTG and TMNT.
Ugh. They're getting the awful Go/Roar treatment? I hope this fails so hard. Maybe its time to put My Little Pony out to the big pasture in the sky? :X :nope:I was thinking that. I'd rather it die out than witness it turn into....this.
Hasbro: How you feelin' about a whole new look?
Everyone in unison:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Well, her wings were the result of a potion!!
They should just make this like Aqua Teen Hunger Force and have them all yell at each other. That would be fine by me.
Teen titans go is popular. I get that. But that doesn’t mean hasbro needs to do it too! This...some of it is cute. But I’m not pleased about this at all.
Edit: sat down and watched the video. I really hope this is a bridge between g4 and 5. Or at least a one off, spin off that’s not too important. Something is coming. Just not sure if it’s good.
Haha, I love that Rainbow has a mullet. I think it looks pretty cute, honestly! I like the heavy stylization. It does look like it might be annoying, though. But, it's just a teaser. I'm not completely sold on the toys but I will admit the smaller ones look nicer.
The choice of music is definitely a little strange but I wouldn't say it's really worth clutching pearls over. I hope you guys realize that there will almost certainly be at least a few fart jokes in this one. :silly:
Yes I realize that about fart jokes, that's why I'm so afraid. I'm very sensitive to any mentions of smelly bodily functions.I wanted to say I can smell this artstyle...ugh.
Growing up I actually thought it was g2 cause being exposed to the FIM fandom I always heard it was. It wasn't until I got older that I realized it wasn't. Yes hopefully they do realize that.Yes I realize that about fart jokes, that's why I'm so afraid. I'm very sensitive to any mentions of smelly bodily functions.I wanted to say I can smell this artstyle...ugh.
Very ugly. Very wrong. Not MLP. But...bronies will know what "two cartoons, one gen" is now, right?
You know what's funny is Bronies HATED g3.5 saying "g4 is sooo superior to g3! At least g4 will never be like newborn cuties!! GrOsS!!" *2019 this exists*
Nope, only when it's mature and for their adult sensibilities. This just looks like, like, a *kids* show. :0You know what's funny is Bronies HATED g3.5 saying "g4 is sooo superior to g3! At least g4 will never be like newborn cuties!! GrOsS!!" *2019 this exists*
I nipped on over to one of the forums, a lot of them don't seem all that thrilled either. Funny, I thought they ate this sorta thing up?

oh haha very funny but hey....a bit soon for April fools day don't you think :|
but seriously a little tear just welled up in my eye and im not that sensitive about what hasrbo does but gosh darn it. any ways I watch TTG with my kids, they love it so i won't be surprised if they got into that toon :lookround:
just so disappointing to a lot of us collectors out there wanting something new and refreshing :cry:

I feel like I've been emotionally worn out by the lack of creativity in G4 for a while now, and also that I feel like G4 has essentially destroyed the core of what My Little Pony was (a toyline for kids).
If this is 4.5 or 5, it makes no difference to me. It's ugly and I won't be buying or watching, but then I didn't watch more than the first couple of seasons of FIM because it did nothing for me...and I got tired of the toys with the new moulds and the endless m6...so it's not really a change for me somehow?
However making the bronies understand their place in the pony world might be a bonus. They are not THE fans of MLP. They are SOME fans of ONE generation of MLP and toys and shows and things move on. They can be angry. Let them be. Some G1 fans were angry at G2 coming out. Some weren't. By G3 we were over it and they'll need to get over it too, if they want to stay part of the fandom.
MLP is for kids. This is for kids. It may involve poop. That seems popular still right now.
Frankly if that's the case, I'm glad these are the FIM characters being brought right down to base level. But to think that this is associated with MLP makes 3.5 suddenly look really amazing...
Which is a bit sad...
I can at least take solace in that.The bronies are very angry.
They are so angry.
You know what? I'm perfectly fine with this ugly art style and animation if it makes the bronies mad. :P
No but they both have the bad transitional... In between gens designs that Habro is known for.... As for them not liking it, it does kinda look g3.5 ish, at least to me. (g3.5 was waaaay better though) its just funny because they hated g3 as a whole JUST because of that. Now their "perfect" "mature" g4 is going through the same thing...You know what's funny is Bronies HATED g3.5 saying "g4 is sooo superior to g3! At least g4 will never be like newborn cuties!! GrOsS!!" *2019 this exists*
Wait... I don’t really see how these resemble Newborn Cuties at all. Newborn Cuties had waaaay cuter toys... They had lower jaws, too. XPoh haha very funny but hey....a bit soon for April fools day don't you think :|

This is pretty much how I feel... If kids love these, that’s what really matters. I hate the idea of trying to force my taste (or my generation’s taste) on the kids of today. Obviously they’re going to have their own fads and interests... It’s okay if those interests aren’t the same as what we (the adult MLP collectors) liked when we were their age.
...But as an adult collector, I’m sad for myself and for others who wanted something different. I’m disappointed... ...but I’m not ANGRY. I don’t want MLP to cater to me... I want it to be a brand that kids will love for generations to come, even if it changes many times in the process.
I agree with ponyfan about this video. If I had a young child, I wouldn't want them listening to "feeling good as hell" repeated over and over and over again, then going off to school or something and repeating that.

It’s funny to me that G3.5 would have been so hated on by G4 fans, since (IMO) G4s just look like slimmed-down G3.5s. :P

But I saw some bronies around say, in reaction to the *toy design* "Well, it looks better than G3! I'll accept any pony that isn't a G1 or G3" like what? Do you have any reasoning for that? Is it because they look like horses? Are you so anti-G3 you've become blind to what actually looks good? XD
Style is a small part of it. I think the main issue why G3.5s are "so bad" is because it's so "girly", and girly is bad! Good thing G4, the best generation, is not girly at all! Pink and glitter and rainbows is bad! But G4 is for GROWN UPS!! It does NOT have "glitter" or "pink" or "rainbows" or "tea parties" and the characters never "giggled" or cared about "fashion". ;) Writing plays a part too, to be fair.

What a waste of potential and a HUGE letdown. All that build up for what is basically The Mane Six part 2. Even the title of the show is lame.

This is it exactly. G1 and G3 weren't "theirs" so automatically they are bad. It wasn't the designs of the pony toys or the cartoons, it was just the fact that it was something they could label as 'different' than their generation and therefore have something they could be against.
I'm a little amused they put the word "hell" in a promo video for MLP though. :silly:
And about 6 or 7 times, at that... with cartoon ponies lip-synching along. :/ Really? I’m no prude, but can we at least keep a pony cartoon aimed at pre-schoolers clean?

Hmm, I think that is true for some, but it would unfair and harsh to say that is the case for them all. In my experience with the community, the reaction to the older generations is often just the shock at the major differences; the "chunky" and more horse-like design instead of the cutesy look. Sometimes people don't enjoy seeing something they like look so vastly different. One might see that in this very thread... :lol:
For some reason SOME of the G4 fans think there's some kind of competition involved and that they have to destroy all the others by deriding them. Some people think that makes them better? I dunno...but it seems to be that way.
The reason they don't badmouth G2 is that they don't see it as a threat to their G4 ego.
This is not all G4 fans. Just those crazy ones.
But...bronies will know what "two cartoons, one gen" is now, right?
Midquel, bleh. I'm glad I had stopped watching TV for the most part.
Midquel, bleh. I'm glad I had stopped watching TV for the most part.
Hmmm this made me wonder! Do we know yet if this will be an actual tv series, or is it just going to be webisodes like how they do Equestria Girls these days?
Maybe I'm just in a weird mood rn but I watched the promo clip again and I like the animation more and more (and I think the toys are still freaky looking).
It's like these 2D designs are taylor made for whacky comedy with the crazy faces that looked, well, crazy on the FiM ponies. FiM was full of weird moments when the characters had really messed up Looney Tune stretched out expressions that didn't really work for me. It looked like a distortion of the cutesy, sleek show style.
But these are so deformed and rubbery, they just fit the tone.
I am starting to think the toys would have been better off as poseable figures. The static, mouth agape look does not have the energy the show style gives off.
It also looks like the animated counterparts don't really have these emoji faces on stick bodies, they look more round and compressed.
If they made show accurate figures of these, about Cutie Mark Crew size, I'd probably get one of RD (love the mulletawk, lol!)
Good for my wallet the actual RD brushable looks possessed, so no thanks.
The unfinished seams are particularly obvious in the video. :/
We know this won’t live long. Maybe a year at best?
Considering the G5 movie is in 2021, I can't see it going that long.We know this won’t live long. Maybe a year at best?
Has Hasbro actually said this is intended to be "filler" or short-lived? Because if not . . . Well, that's what I would wish for :P but not what I would assume.
Teen Titans Go has had six seasons and AFAIK is still on-going. (It also had a movie last year.) So that frentic style of animation doesn't necessarily mean "off the air soon."

Yeah as StarSwirl05 said, there's a movie they are preparing for in 2021 and also there's a new show where supposedly the characters change drastically, and this Pony Life has changed the art style but hasn't changed the characters' designs. So we're going with the assumption that this is a placeholder until the movie and show are ready.
But who knows, if this takes off maybe it will run in tandem with the new show/movie? -shrug-

And I thought Zapper’s avatar was disturbing before.
I've had a weird, sneaking suspicion that the plug was pulled on the upcoming G5 movie or the movie morphed into a tie in with this monstrosity. Maybe I just want to imagine the worst case scenario though. :lol:Oh don't worry about the movie, we got an official release date (September 24th 2021 if I'm remembering correctly) just a week or so ago. Not sure about if it will be a tie-in, though!
Dear Hasbro.
Please stop giving Zapper weaponry with which to terrorise us. ;)
With thanks and cookies.
Pony community.
Zapper I love your fanart, it really speaks to me :lovey: XD
I actually would have been more fine if they were totally different characters we never saw. That way, we would maybe try to get to know them instead of seeing in horror the mane 6 we used to love becoming obnoxious maniacs with no different personality and behaviour from each other whatsoever.
Of course this is a subjective opinion but I feel that way when watching these videos and their meth faces. I'm not too eager to watch the episodes, but I will. Maybe we'll get a good surprise from it. Wait and see, but I'm not a huge fan to begin with so I'm not too hopeful.

My Little Tweaker! You know, for kids!
This is going to be what G2 was to G1...a mistake!
Just feel I ought to chime in with :sigh:
I prefer my ponies to be pastoral/magical rather than slice of life. I'm not a fan of Tales, Equestria Girls or the G3 ponyverse in general as I find these settings too suburban and mundane. From what I can see this will be of that ilk.

I'm okay with Slice of Life MLP... Just as long as I still feel like they're ponies in their own world. So G3 worked alright for me. But Tales? I couldn't finish. It was just a school series with the ponies slapped on top of it.
The animation and art style doesn't bother me......but I get the feeling it will look a little different in the actual cartoon as opposed to this promo.Spoiler
I just hope that it will be a short, sweet, silly series for us to enjoy while we await 2021.
The G5 movie is slated for 2021 so the show can't be more than a year long.
Man I HOPE it looks different. The more I look at those screen shots the more horrified I am..I just don't want MLP to be...that.
I am curious why the consensus seems to be that Pony Life will be short lived and the movie will be G5. Is it because of all those leaks of the M6 in different styles from a while back? Or is it that many are HOPING that the movie will be something better? Because that's where I'm at currently. Haha. I'll gladly eat my words if PL ends up actually being good but I'm not optimistic.

I'm tired of the TTG animation and its stupid brand of humor.
Idk about everyone else but I do NOT want this to be the face of MLP for the next decade, so I'm hoping this is a brief transitory stage.
I don't think it will be transitory though.
Because Hasbro hasn't cared about putting out decent MLP in a long time. They don't give a flying unicorn turd as they've done nothing but cheap out in every single way.
Ugh. Here we have a Luna with lovely blues and its on this mould. Darnit Hasbro! :throw:
For me, the CalArts style is the only type of animation that I can't stand to watch.
Yeah, unfortunately the term "CalArts" has become the go-to word for the popular trend of flat, rounded character designs with bean shaped heads and noodle limbs. People typically think Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Clarence, that kind of stuff when they say CalArts, even if it's not entirely accurate.
Read what I wrote - CalArts style. Here: this is what's considered CalArts style (https://www.ballstatedaily.com/article/2018/09/what-is-calarts-style). And no, I don't watch any of the shows pictured, although I acknowledge their popularity. I'm not referring to the institute - I'm referring to the beanface style which has been given a nickname by others.For me, the CalArts style is the only type of animation that I can't stand to watch.
You can't stand to watch FiM, Disney movies, Pixar movies, Disney shows, most CN and Nick shows? Whoa, that's a lot!
Because all of those are CalArts. CalArts was founded by the Disney brothers, so basically CalArts style = Disney style.

Would it be easier if I just said 'bean mouth' from now on?
Ah, I see now, I misunderstood. It's just awkward when the internet adopts a phrase like they have (seriously, I put in bean mouth and the first thing that pops up on Google is CalArts style on knowyourmeme).Read what I wrote - CalArts style. Here: this is what's considered CalArts style (https://www.ballstatedaily.com/article/2018/09/what-is-calarts-style). And no, I don't watch any of the shows pictured, although I acknowledge their popularity. I'm not referring to the institute - I'm referring to the beanface style which has been given a nickname by others.For me, the CalArts style is the only type of animation that I can't stand to watch.
You can't stand to watch FiM, Disney movies, Pixar movies, Disney shows, most CN and Nick shows? Whoa, that's a lot!
Because all of those are CalArts. CalArts was founded by the Disney brothers, so basically CalArts style = Disney style.
Would it be easier if I just said 'bean mouth' from now on?
I read what you wrote but you didn't read what I wrote. "CalArts Style" as a negative term has been around since the early 90s when "bean mouth" didn't exist.
I certainly wouldn't have asked you if you don't watch FiM (Lauren Faust is a CalArts grad) if you just said "I hate the mouth shape".
That nickname came about because CalArts has too much power in the animation industry and that makes other schools graduates jealous (rightfully so). The art style is ever changing following trends. The real problem with CalArts is that they are dominating the industry. They aren't forcing their graduates to adopt a style (more so they are teaching Nine Old Men stuff because they are Disney, as I have already mentioned).
Tl;Dr: We only se bean-mouth stuff right now because it is popular, not because it was orchestrated by CalArts :lol:

I'd also like to transport my cool new fandom name to here: Lifesavers! Like the candy because we are so sweet and want to give Pony Life a chance.
Join the Life-stream! <-- the name of our fandom :cool:
"Ponies are love, ponies are Life" <-- our slogan stolen from Shrek fans because Shrek has layers and so do ponies :cool:

As Lifesavers we take in the PL ponies and embrace them instead of writing them off before we have even seen the show.My friend who made a PL server to attatch the wiki set the welcome message to be "Hello @name, welcome to the Pony Life Server! Please verify yourself over at #role-assign, and don't forget to feel good as Hell!" That can be our greeting.
That can be our greeting.
"How you feelin'?"
Normal pony fan, hates PL, blah blah: "Ok."
Woke Lifesavers, adore PL: "Good as hell!"

Of course I'll still not buy any of those. My support will be shallow like most online activism :lol:
Some new PL were listed today, Luna and Celestia EQG Fashion Squad figures that come with molded mane ponies.A new Luna!! And she's blue!! I can't wait to get my hands on this. I wish she had a chest piece like celestia though

Luna is a recoloured Sunset Shimmer and Celestia is a recoloured Starlight Glimmer. I appreciate the ponies having painted hooves. The legs look like they're poseable but I wouldn't be surprised if that's not the case.

Do they know that “good as hell” doesn’t mean feeling happy? It’s about dressing up even when you feel like hell. Smiling on the outside, crying inside.
Ah, I love to be reminded of GoH and its brutal depictions of fighting ponies. Twilight was totally gonna speer that Changeling gritting her purple teeth.
Or at least teeth disintegrated from the pressure and now she's working on her gums.
Twilight's lost her dentures in that pic. That's why her teeth are purple. :P
Welp, seems the trailer wasn't well liked and got downvoted to death on Hasbro's YouTube channel and is now private. Got to see it from YouTube elsewhere but didn't even get through it all. They're supposed to be good at this.
I downvoted it because it looks awful.Yes yes that too

And suddenly, in that light, I'm realizing that Hasbro is making a huge mistake sticking to the main six. :blink:
OH man that is so funny, can someone confirm it was the downvotes that got that video privatized? :lmao: I just gotta know! You know what would be even funnier? If Hasbro didn't get proper clearance to use the song and the rights-holder demanded it be taken down. :lmao: It's probably not that, but the thought does make me giggle.
Ugh, what does not make me giggle is the thought of some MLP toy coming with slime... bleeh... (Oh geez they could call it smooze nobodyatHasbroreadthisgaaaaaaaah)

I feel like Hasbro has often jumped on trends. Weren't the Petite Ponies Hasbro's response to Polly Pocket and the Dream Beauties in response to Fashion Star Fillies? And more recently there was the blind bag trend which Hasbro has been on the band wagon since fairly early into G4. And lets not forget the sudden appearance of Equestria Girls after the popularity of Monster High.

EQG amuses me because it was a response to MH but also a way to bring Jem ideas back into a more successful line, which then inspired Mattel to bring out another music themed doll line...
The two companies are like scrapping kids in the playground sometimes.
LOL comments are turned off on the video. I WONDER WHY
This far exceeds 3.5. I'll take 3.5 over these ugly things. And yeah, I'm still placing my bets on angry parents.
Maybe I'm the only one who couoldn't stop laughing at the video, especially when the song says "check my nails" and it zooms in on the ponies' hooves!
Though as expected the ones from that certain message board are going after it and people who like it (even trying to claim they're the reason the video was taken down).

Also some people have found them in stores already.
Physically. :) They turned up in the Philippines first, not sure if they've been found elsewhere. There are Youtube reviews of them up already.

This should go without saying, but please, nobody leave a thumbs down on the video just because you dislike the toy. :/
I know this is late, but seeing as I got back into my pony obsession right after seeing this news, I feel I need to finally weigh in.
If you think this looks promising, that's totally fine, I'm glad you're able to see a glimmer of hope in this. But I feel like this is a disrespect to not only FIM, but My Little Pony as an entire franchise. There doesn't look to be anything original about this, the toys look like everything marketed to girls in recent years, the show seems to be riding on TTG and Thundercats Roar. The "ponies" are bipedal and almost flat-faced, and lack any of the charming innocence that even G4 and 3.5 had.
But what's really making me upset is that a lot of people, especially on the big FIM sites, are getting defensive over people being "butthurt over a little girl's show". But that's the problem. The reason why this concept annoys me is that there seems to be no respect for the target audience. This is coming right after FIM, where, no matter your opinions on the actual show, it's clear that, at least at the beginning, the creators sought to create something cute, funny, and surprising intelligent for kids to enjoy, and a lot of its runaway success came from that. Pony Life seems to be hammering in that silly faces and screaming are all that's needed to keep kids entertained. By saying "It's just a little girl's show", people are implying that little girls don't need quality entertainment. I was a little girl once, so I know they definitely do. G3 was my childhood, and even though the stories might not have been the strongest, there was still a lot of pretty designs and sweet songs, and I loved all the pretty ponies and knew each one of them by name. FIM was my life in middle school and part of high school, due to its lighthearted but surprisingly smart stories and wide world of characters. My Little Pony has always been an important part of my life, and it saddens me to see it turned into an ugly, trying to hard to be cool, joke.
And also, Good As Hell? Really? I'm not one to complain about people swearing, but this is My Little Pony! Dark adventures and snarky humor can have its place in the franchise, as G1 and G4 have shown, but at its core, My Little Pony is all about the sweet parts in life, colorful ponies, rainbows, and other simple happy things, not saying "hell" every 5 seconds. My parents were on board with my childhood pony obsession because of their cuteness, but if they saw this trailer, I know they wouldn't allow me to watch the show. It just seems trashy and disrespectful to the MLP brand.
Sorry for this rant, I'm just upset that they're ruining the image of such an important brand that means a lot to kids and adults alike.
People keep on saying this is like Thundercats Roar... but... has this show even aired yet? And if so, where can I watch it? :P

I would say that accurately describes G3, but definitely not G1. (Incidentally the G3 specials were very poorly received, initially, by people who were already collecting MLPs at the time. Basically due to G3 being as you described.)

I think parents might be the reason why it was taken down. The song was really, really inappropriate for young kids. I think it got signed off on by someone who wasn't paying attention.
what in the sweet bloody rainbow of light is that
Just throwing out that the following writers are on the team:
Josh Brown (RotTMNT)
Katie Chilson (EQG, LPS, Hanazuki)
Dave Horvitz (Rick and Morty)
Greg Levine (Parks and Rec)
Whitney Ralls (EQG)
Taneka Stotts (Craig of the Creek, SU:F)
Doesn't sound like a horrible mix, but horvitz and Levine's inclusion makes it sound more sitcom-y and is a bit shocking at first read.
RotTMNT = The animation for that show was a huge turn off for me, never watched it

They got somebody from Rick and Morty? I can't stand that show. :huh:
Hasbro's gone off its rocker.
I first commented on this show that I was worried that its style pointed toward a gross-out show. I still don't believe that Hasbro would ever allow a MLP property to be like that, but... Having a Rick & Morty (a show that is very heavy on over-the-top random violence, and is just gross in general) producer on board certainly doesn't help soothe my worries.

Well I never thought Disney would stoop to those levels, but they did. Hasbro's resume has never been all about sugar and light anyway.

Gravity Falls and the one cartoon with the fish had gross moments and GF has a Ren and Stimpy-esque art style.
Quick recap on my complaints.
The jaws have been completely removed, unlike the other animals who Hasbro actually sculpted proper faces for. This makes me mad.
The expressions on the non roly-polies make em look strung out.
There are nice colors ruined by those freakish moulds.
The unicorn horns ruin the other animals.
I wonder if we'll get more pony friends and pretty pals?
The winged pigs are cute.
Hasbro has decided that only little boys are deserving of quality toys. Little girls apparently don't deserve squat.

The overbites on these are so terrible. I don't know why they removed the jaws. It wouldn't have made a difference if they gave them a chin.
I love the pigs too (I love pigs in general!) but they're not what I come to My Little PONY for. They'd be a nice addition in a playset or something but I don't want to gamble either getting what I want, or getting a hippo or a recoloured Tank or Opalescence.
Why do the eyes on the 'regular' pony models (save for maybe Celestia) look so off?

I think they look fine for the most part but lack of sculpting doesn't help matters. Twilight is the worst, her eye looks like it's placed too far up.
Btw Happy Birthday!
I made some quick edits, mostly adding in a chin.

I didn't really get what you were saying at first Harmonie. But when I was editing the dragonfly (or firefly?) pony, I noticed she had a very blank stare. And weird cat pupils...? I know "the new ponies are cats" joke, but it seems like Hasbro is taking it seriously! :lol: I made their irises and pupils larger too to make them more "cute". Ironically they ended up looking a bit G3.5-ish... but at least G3.5s had chins... :P
If these have codes I might get them. Otherwise I’m not repeating the Cutie Mark Crew trend where I get 50 Sci-Twis and never get the actual new character I want.
They look kind of horrified.

It's like seeing inflation art while scrolling.
PS: that sudden hippo cracks me up. It's like they re-used a couple of pet molds and then randomly chose a hippo from another line to fill the last spot. Imagine the outrage of a little kid wanting a pretty unicorn and ending up with a Madagascar lookalike hippo with a glued on horn. It's like a practical joke XD

Trixie arrived on Tuesday. She's really cute and has gloriously soft hair. Somebody else has gotten her and it seems like the accessories can vary. Mine came with a translucent glittery head band and a red barrette but somebody else's came with a silver head band and a blue barrette. Anyway she's really cute and I can't wait for these to hit retail. :biggrin:SpoilerI also really love the new blind bags ^^;
That hippo seems really out of place. :lol: and I'm not fan of everything having horns but I do wonder if it and the balloon ponies might be explained once the show airs. Maybe it's a potion that went wrong causing everyone to grow a horn or turn in to balloon. Is that orange balloon on the last row supposed to be Discord?

I didn't think they could ruin MLP any further than by changing them into neon-skinned human girls with eating disorders. Somehow they found a way.... I'm glad I've not gotten invested in G4, or I'd be way more devastated by this continued debasement of the franchise.
G1 and G3 for me!
Eugh...I’m hoping this is just a very convincing bootleg. I know hasbro has gone...under the bar as of late, but this is low. Even for them.
Maybe the balloon ones will make more sense when a pony life show airs, and make sense in context of an episode. Like an episode where (based on what info we have) pinkie makes a potion that turns ponies into balloons/inflation art? Same with the abundance of unicorn horns on everything, and the two who don’t have remotely close hair and tail colours. I’m all for experimentation, but keep your mane the same colour as the tail. But without context, this is pretty weird, even for me.
Those blind bags, with blank stares and missing lower jaw remind me of this meme.

Y’all better not complain too much about the lack of jaw, or Hasbro will hear you and make up for lost time by giving G5s lower jaws longer than their body, like this:

(I’m kidding of course. I hate the new faces too.)
The unicorn horns on the pets.... Eye roll. That is yet another example of Hasbro just jumping on a popular trend. It's true even in the G1 days MLP copied popular trends like the Dream Beauties, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. :P

It's Discord. I could have sworn it's a reused mold from an Equestria Girls Mini accessory but I can't seem to find it. :( Maybe I'm remembering it wrong.
BUT it looks like Angel, Gummy, Opalescence, and Tank are reused molds from Equestria Girls Minis too. :lol:
