Yup. You can see her in this form in the trailer, very briefly.

Movie spoilers:
Spoiler
All the seaponies are actually hippogriffs, but they lost their home to the Storm King, and Queen Novo turned her and her subjects into Seaponies to hide from him.

I'm so excited for this! I wanna get all the Skystars. I still don't have the normal one yet because the shell one is nowhere to be found.

I don't have much of an interest in the 'seaponies' though I do want at least one for a custom... but if we get more Hipogriffs then yes i want them!

So I'm thinking Hasbro may directly reflect the currant seapony theme when they do the Hippogriffs.  We have already seen baby Hippogriffs just like the baby seaponies, same size and same accesories only in a sky theme.  Now we have a brushable SkyStar in both forms.  I predict there will be a Hippogriff Sky themed playset with a matching Hippogriff Queen Novo.

I wonder if a Hippogriff Queen Novo will have brushable hair.. since her seapony version doesn't.. I'm hoping for more characters

Ooh, maybe!

Kind of hoping not though just for the sake of space! I'll probably be getting the Seaquestria playset for Christmas and then space in my G4.5 area of my collection is gonna become an issue. :lol:

I'd probably be able to figure something out, though. I managed to figure out what to do after I recently got that huge G3 castle.

Yeah, I hear ya.  I really like the Queen Novo with the castle but I do not want the castle itself.  Probably end up buying her off eBay.  Or else cross my fingers and hope to find her at the flea market in a few years.

I might be interested IF Hasbro didn't think Hyppogriff was exclusively  synonymous with pegasus.

And the strabimus eyes return!
Why do hasbro keep making those strabimus eyes? One would think that they would know that neither old fans nor new fans like them by now.

Yeah, it is odd. You'd think they would try to make all the ponies look nice when you look at them from the front. It does look very cute from the sides with the eyes looking back, but if one of them is looking back, they should make the other look forward instead of both looking back. Then we can have ponies that look like they're looking to the side without making it look all weird at a front angle...

They have paws and feathers so they aren't just tall pegasai.

Yes, I agree with this! 

They really should study g1 eyes.  G1 eyes manage to be looking at you whether you are looking at them from the side or from the front without looking walleyed.

though seaponies are cute I decided when they showed that I'm not interested...

but This!  Hippogrpyhs!  THAT is an awesome idea!

Gimme a whole Fleet Hasbro!  :)

I like that they did a different head mold from the Princess Ponies of G4. From that angle it doesn't look like a balloon but I know we'd have to see her in other angles XD

She looks sort of unpainted, like she's supposed to have blue ears and feet and purple wings like her sea pony version. I know she's not actually supposed to have that, I just can't unsee it :P
I do like her slender figure and large wings. If only Hasbro would stop making her cross-eyed...

SCREAMS SHE LOOKS AWESOME

Here's hoping we get a brushable hippogriff Novo too! And Stratus Skyranger, and those two seaponies who are getting busy book figures, and that seapony who shows up on the movie packaging...

I do admit that I may have to have a couple of these to customize.  I feel like these ought to have symbols.  I know most non-pony friends don't have them even all the way back to g1.  But these are sooo close to being actual ponies.  In fact, I'm considering them just a different breed of pony, like Flutter ponies.   Also, a gradient on her wings wouldn't go amiss.

At least the pony friends had markings.

I do like her, sure... but shouldn't she have a bird's head? Maybe Hasbro through they'd be seen as too similar to gryphons?
Title: Re: 'Seapony' as a Hipogriff :o
Post by: Sunset on September 09, 2017, 04:17:48 PM
Objectively speaking, the head already looks a lot more like a real bird than it looks like a real horses head, imo.  All of G4 has muzzles that look more like beaks to me.

She should, however, I'm thinking they want to keep as much pony as possible in the main Equestria lands... Griffins and Dragons are the only 2 species that are not pony related.. Even Discord who is a Draconequus is said to have a "Head of a pony" although his head looks more like a goat and basically Draconequus is a Chimera XD

Agreed to all the above!

I heard there was another seapony brushable coming out so they may do more hippogriffs.. it would be odd if they didn't but then again Hasbro is known to sometimes make a mold for one pony and never us it again (case in point, the old mold for Shining Armor was only used for him and only released maybe about 3 times)
Title: Re: 'Seapony' as a Hipogriff :o
Post by: gabumon on October 13, 2017, 06:09:52 AM
ya I get the feeling that molds are cheaper to produce now (compared to the 80s) and/or today’s molds aren’t made to produce as many units. 

e.g. maybe the 1980s Glory mold was designed to make 200,000 units before degrading vs 201Xs Shning Amor was made to produce 20,000 before degrading.  Steel vs Aluminum?
Title: Re: 'Seapony' as a Hipogriff :o
Post by: Sunset on October 13, 2017, 08:07:55 AM
Hmmm, I feel like a good portion of the Shining Armor thing is that he is a boy.  And we all know how reluctant Hasbro is to release boys, especially as brushables.

I feel like they will use the Hippogriff mold more since it's being used for female characters.
