As much as I think G4 deserves the praise it got, I can agree some of it (and even that it was pretty big "some") was due to timing - I maintain that every generation, deserves the praise G4 got, and feel that G4 only got the advantage due to timing. In terms of cartoons, G4 felt like a combination of the previous generations to me, at least in the early seasons, so I can see any of them being given the (good side of) the "Brony Treatment" if they had been the generation to be released at that time.

For G5... I still maintain that it stands on its own hooves, with or without G4. It just feels like a bonus to me that it connects to (what I still maintain to be) its own take on G4. I get that it's a new idea to tie a generation into a previous generation, but I think they did it fine - they didn't over rely on it, and they did their own thing, but I also feel they honored it beautifully. It wasn't needed, but they're doing good with it so far, IMO.

But yeah, G5 is ultimately it's own generation, even with the connection to G4, IMO.

To be honest, all generations so far have been instant classics in my opinion. I know I can't speak for everybody, but, that's how I feel about them.

Sadly I did not find that weird styling head, but I found a g1 mug at Marshalls and picked up another Sparkle Girlz pony.
My 5 Below has been disappointing me! 

Awwwh, so cute!! ;3; great work on her, she turned out great!
and thanks for linking the pattern, maybe I need to make Shailatte x)

I would love to see her if you do, Shai is such a pretty pony!

Thank you everyone!
