And I also disagree that G5 is lame (nobody said this exactly, but the vibe is there).
Quote from: BlackCurtains on February 15, 2024, 09:48:57 PMAnd I also disagree that G5 is lame (nobody said this exactly, but the vibe is there).Oh, I think very very similar words have been used before, lol, it's not just a vibe But we need to make a distinction between the quality of the toyline and the entertainment side of it. As a toyline, MLP has become a real joke. It doesn't even have its own section anymore in a lot of stores; the few mlp products they have are thrown together with a lot of other small brand creatures. Space filler, if you will.
I used to see kids in the pony section of toy stores, and also kids walking around with pony design clothing, or build a bear plushes, or the ponies themselves.I have not seen that for G5, once.I think variety would help.I do see kids in other aisles and with other toys. Just not ponies.
Offering my perspective as a parent, I've been greatly disappointed in the quality of MLP toys for some time. Even if they're just for kids, the gross hair they're using that gets ruined so easily made my little girl cry because she couldn't even get a brush through it. She was 4 and she cared about quality. Parents are the target market, even before kids. If G5 offered a wider variety of characters, I'd buy more ponies for my kids. But they have the main 5, we can't find Misty anywhere, so we're basically done with the entire gen lol. Can't buy ponies for my kids' friends' birthdays either since there's just too few characters to risk getting a repeat for someone. So I just don't buy My Little Pony. Well done, Hasbro.
