i hate "mane 5" as a marketing concept, i hates it.... >.<

consider me "out" on G5.  hard-hatted weiner dogs wearing towels.


Is it wrong that I laughed at the last sentence?

That set is 50 bucks?! I'm really out of the toy loop because that seems so much to me for 6 ponies.

I didn't imagine it...

"Meet the mane 5".

...And here we go again.


Yeah. How annoying.  :hmm:

At least they are already doing a decent job of not limiting themselves to just those five ponies.

It's ironic isn't it? The line has just begun and already we feel like there's more variety.
Although G4 started with more variety and balance in the lines, so...I don't know.

G4 did have more colour variety though. And frankly the colour schemes of these resemble key ponies from G4 without that range...

I guess we'll see how it goes forwards, but I'm thinking that probably we're not going to see massive variety in this line overall, not if the words 'mane 5' have already entered the conversation.

I agree with you,  I'm  not holding my breath and will wait and see. It may take a couple gens for Hasbro to get out of their bad habits of shoving a small handful of characters down consumers throats ad nauseum. But for now,  I do like some of the new toys colors and designs.


Its an alright thing to do, when the cast only has a handful of characters traditionally, such as TMNT.

But not when the line has traditionally been invested in creating a butt-ton of unique toys, show or no show. If MLP at least reaches Transformer levels of old and new, i'll consider it a victory.

This is officially one of my favorite comments on anything, ever. :lol:

I'd be okay with the G5 boys looking exactly like the females like the G2s did, tbh. Wouldn't be the end of the world. But they already have bigger bodies and completely different heads, so they look distinct from the girls already. I don't see any good reason for them not to have brushable hair. I hate it so much.

i just keep thinking the molded hair for boys mustve come from market research.  like maybe kids born in 2016 were confused by boys with long comb-able hair?

older kids, like 10+ maybe were okay? but I’m thinking the little kids werent tracking it

I can't stop laughing at Hitch with a comb for his molded mane and tail.  :rofl:  :rofl:

Is this another company cocktail party game creation? Is anyone at Hasbro even paying attention to the accessory they package with the pony?

Ponyfan

My guess is that if they didn't include the comb, for the price they would have to include some other accessory, and they are too cheap to come up with one and/or interrupt the assembly line process to include it.

And they figured anyone buying it would be too dumb to notice, I guess? :blink:
