They still suffer from their heads being placed too far back on their necks, but I think these are the nicest looking g5 toys revealed so far. Sunny looks the cutest imo, and she's usually one of my least favorites design-wise.

Hearing "Play by Play" gives me flashbacks to those horrendous Pokemon and Digimon carnival prize plush from 20 years ago 0_0 If it's the same company, they've really improved.

And Hitch being left out is interesting and I guess not unexpected, the retail buyers probably don’t expect he will sell well.

Yeah, if they wanted him to have more merchandise, he could have been pink, blue...I love Salty's design, maybe something like that. His color scheme is fine and all, but a bit odd for a girls toyline.

Why? He's not the only yellow/green/blue pony. (Unless he's orange,  then that is unusual.) Masquerade,  Magic Star, Meadowbrook, Baby Lilydrop,  Princess Skystar, Anchors Away, Baby Racer, Tall Tales, Wind Drifter, Cha Cha, and Teddy (G2), just to name a few.

There's nothing that says girls can't enjoy those shades. It's not odd at all,  and never stopped Hasbro before. Its nice to see that his colors aren't the tried and true blue/pink/white/purple like most of the new cast. And earth ponies have always had the widest variety of color combinations over any other species.

i'm surprised nobody really complained about pipp's phone not being horsey or whatever lol. i think she's super cute in general, i wanna stroke those cute fluffy wings!! i like zipp's colourful wings too. i'm just a winged pony fan in general i suppose
Spoiler
cartoon animals with phones just makes me think of jewelpet and how aggressively their phones (jewel pods) are featured because marketing, and i just got brainwashed into thinking it's funny/cute

Still no big reveal or news on the whole toyline? It's odd.
The G5 toys are supposed to be released in the summer, right?

You'd expect them to hype it up a little earlier than this, but nope. Maybe they've been working on redesigns of the brushables following the investor reveal?

They're supposed to come out in August. Not sure there's much they can do to hype them up right now beyond what they've already done.

Fall toy reset typically happens in August, rather than fall itself.

i mean, i guess our traditional idea of a touchscreen isnt very hoof friendly, but i'd expect them to be more open to it? one of the early-early fandom memes was luna with a gameboy, lol
or maybe we're fine because its just a natural evolution of this :P

They are a bit haunting to be honest, but the last generation looked odd to me as well

Can’t believe this hasn’t been posted yet.

https://www.mlpmerch.com/2021/06/first-g5-playsets-appear-online.html?m=1

Oh those look fun!  I like the articulated legs, as a kid I definitely liked the few horse toys i had with movable legs.  I wish they had brushable hair but overall I'm happy with them.
Oh, and when I read the first part about Izzy's set I was picturing her as a mad scientist creating genetically engineered animals for an illicit pet black market.  :lol:
