It's interesting that I've seen at least a couple boxes where the toy labels the character as "Princess Petals" rather than Pipp Petals or Princess Pipp. Curious! Maybe Princess Petals is her stage name? (I know she's an actual princess, too, but she's also a pop star so maybe she goes by Princess Petals?) Or maybe Princess Petals is just better to copyright than Pipp...?

My theory is it has to do with her name sounding like unsavory slang in French...if you say it out loud. The packaging has been for many other areas on top of English speaking ones, and her full name in french is Ruby Petals.

My store has started putting out the styling heads and plushies! I'm waiting on the unicorn celebration brushable pack right now.

I wonder when we'll start seeing books and puzzles, I really want a coloring book and a nice 100pc puzzle for G5.

Oh hey, those are pretty nice, relatively speaking  :whoa: Wouldn't mind them being the default G5 toys.

Deputy Sprout, I wonder what his full name is since Deputy is more of a title

Am I thinking too hard, or is this lowkey sexist ?  :blush: In the 80s, there used to be the Big Brothers and they had brushable hair. Everyone loves them. G2 had boy ponies as well, they just looked the same as the females because they made no sexual dimorphism in G2. Now in G5, there's this clear distinction and that makes me sad. Have we regressed ?   :huh:
I'm probably making no sense... I'm tired... Sorry. :(

That's how I feel too. You'd think Hasbro would try and be "woke" and fit in with the modern day. They had the sense to make a male character a main character in a female centric franchise but continue to give them molded hair? Not sure if Hasbro is cheap or just stupid.

I mean Hasbro does seem to try, their baby alive dolls have a setting to say "daddy" instead of "mommy" but at the end of the day they won't make something if they think they can't sell it. There's two points where they get outside influence that can affect this. One is they sometimes survey parents. It could be possible that they would be more likely to purchase the molded hair boys for some reason. The other is store buyers. Remember how Celestia was pink on her first release because they insisted "pink sells better with girls"? The toy industry is often reactionary because ruffling feathers doesn't make money.

These look better in person. But the heads are bothering me still. They almost look like fakies to me.

I was holding out hope the brushables would look cuter in person than they did in their promo pictures, but nope. Still awful. :( I'm super disappointed since I genuinely think their animated forms are they cutest things EVER and I'm looking forward to the show itself.

Glad to see more of the styling sizes showing up in a few more places. They're the cutest toys so far and I'd like to get them, so I hope they don't have a super limited run.
