And I agree on almost everything G4 and G5. It needs some variety in the toys. There is so much they could (have) gotten from the Tv shows! I would have bought so much more :/

I don't care for G5, but as for G1 I think it's blasphemous that we never got a Moochick figure  :rant:

I never got 'round to it but I've always wanted to customize a poseable Happy doll from Snow White into a Moochick; with some minor resculpting it shouldn't be too hard I think. He seems to come very close already as is.

I strongly believe G5 meant to have a lot of toys, but the first few ones sell so bad, they started to make bad decisions such as releasing Mane 6 in G5 style and then add in Minty, because immortal Minty is a meme. Instead of having faith in the new characters they have, the toys exes just think hard for the characters that will most likely to sell. They turn away G5 fans who want their favourite charactets and annoy G4 fans who think G5 look weird.

WingedDragon, I think you're right :( It really does seem like instead of wondering WHY the first few toys didn't sell, they just went "Oh well, we'll just pull out the old stand-bys, people always want Minty"... like, just assuming cuz Minty's popular that people will just mindlessly buy her up... stuff like that.
(alright, to be fair, when I saw that set I DID think "Okay, I might be tempted by this one if it turns up over here", but... xD still!!!)

I wish they'd try more G5 characters instead of redoing the "G4 model" as Snapdragon said... I mean, I don't like G5 much. I don't like the style. But I felt that way about G4 for AGES too and then eventually it grew on me! So maybe G5 could grow on me too if they'd only give it a chance. Because my other main problems with G5 are a) ENDLESS SUNNY and b) poor distribution/same few things everywhere. Maybe if we had less Sunny (and... Izzy? Izzy's the purple unicorn right?) and more of a variety of characters then I might be more interested in it.. Gah, I dunno. I'm rambling, sorry.
