Any merchandise that is Mane Six is not new and I don't care who thinks I'm in the wrong. I'm starting to get to the point where I hate this brand. It went from amazing to awful in the space of one generation. Why Hasbro is so bent on killing this once amazing beloved franchise is beyond me?

I don't like the Dancing Butterflies pose either. It's too easy to tip over, and the way she twists her body, her hair ends up covering up her symbol.
I actually liked the Mane 6. I'm probably one of the few people who were okay with multiple variations of the Mane 6. My biggest issue was when they would leave out one or two characters for some other random character.
But the issue is that they did not balance it. They made collecting characters about collecting seven characters in slightly different versions like Malibu Stacy and her new hat. You can do that with fashion dolls because different fashions and styles allow for virtually endless combos and looks.
Oh, LPS is a good comparison. They tried the "core set of characters" thing with that line, too - but IMO they actually did it *well* with LPS. The same couple of characters recurred for a while but they never overtook the line. Granted they kind of gave up on them after a while (I've never seen the LPS cartoon, but I get the impression they were hoping it would be "the next FiM" but it never really took off, not to the extent Hasbro were likely hoping for, anyway), but still.
(and a lot of rereleases don't even give them interesting gimmicks, many have no gimmicks at all in fact).
