I didn't see a video when I clicked the link
It was live at 1pm EST today. There will be a video replay at a later time. For now, there is only an audio version.

My husband isn't home yet, so I don't have a reaction yet (it will probably be along the lines of 'great, so I guess I have to see that playing in my house 24/7 once it comes out'), but I did show them to my son and his first reaction was wanting to know the boy ponies' names, which I obviously couldn't tell him. Then he exploded with 'I'm SO excited!!' So maybe it will appeal to its intended child audience.
 Aw how cute. i'm gonna show my daughter later but we don't really watch much tv, so I'm not sure what her reaction would be. She hasn't cared too much for the pony toys I've given her (although the other day she was playing with them)... so we'll see.

So, I showed my boyfriend, because he's kind enough to listen to me blather about my interests. His immediate response was the mouths look funky. Now leave me alone, I'm goin to sleep.

 He seems pretty mean. This prompted me to ask my OH, who is insanely stressed working right now. "Aw, super fuzzy. Is that a new movie? What is it? (me : new show, FiM is dead.). "Oh, cool -- it's so cute "

I'm hoping they are either siblings or childhood best friends that see each other as family. I do not want them to be love interests even if it turns out they are unrelated. Can we please retire the idea that boys and girls that are good friends must fall in love with each other? You never see it happening with friends of the same gender outside of fandom stuff.
On the other hand I kinda them to put Sunny and Izzy together because representation is important.
i'm thinking he's a cousin. i also think it would be weird to market around diversity and inclusion and then have sunny fall in love with another, similar-looking earth pony. i'd really prefer there to be no romance at all, but the older kid-tween crowd loves the ship stuff. it's inevitable.
i doubt there will be any explicit LGBT rep unless it's easily edited out. maybe in 10 years when G5 is ending and hasbro doesn't have to worry about international markets dropping it. 
Again, I really don't think romance belongs in this series. But Hasbro already is making baby steps to this. They just changed Mr Potato head into Potato head. “Culture has evolved,” Kimberly Boyd, Hasbro’s senior vice president of global brands, told Fast Company. “Kids want to be able to represent their own experiences. The way the brand currently exists — with the ‘Mr.’ and ‘Mrs.’ — is limiting when it comes to both gender identity and family structure.”
Boyd added that Hasbro hopes the rebranding will allow for kids to make "little potato families" however they see fit.

they keep claiming that they have no idea where the yellow ick came from which I find hard to believe but they have agreed on a partial refund. not really how that works so I'll read your thread 
yay!  I'm glad your seller wasn't a pain. u_u; as for my thread, haha, whatever links were provided are probably the best way. I still didn't quite get a grasp on it myself, but it looked like BlueRose did.

I don't care for cowboy pony already... but the others look fine. The cocky, attention seeking boy with a squishy center revealed by the leading lady is just...  I hope it doesn't come to that. I'm tired of stories where it's a woman's job to make men tolerable to be around. It's cute once or twice but repeated it over and over again is a bad message and burden to put on little girls.
Eh. I don't know. That's a lot to assume out of a little clip. We could very well see a male character supporting a female and breaking down gender bias. We just don't know right now. Also, while I'm at it. I don't see there to be a need for implied romance for this series.

I was reading it's possible that the tv show will be 3D as well... It was just a random comment I read, so I want to take it with a grain of salt...
Can anyone who watched it confirm that was said?

I'm on my phone so I can't see a close up of the photo, but are they ALL articulated? If so, that will be incredibly disappointing 😓 I actually think these designs are super cute and I'm totally excited to add some to my collection, but not if they only have those hideous moveable legs!
Sunny is not-- look at her back leg. She also has rooted hair. So there seems to be 2 styles of toys.

Anyone think the pom is in the pouch of the boy?

They seem to have a hard time translating the movie model faces onto the merch and toys. Front facing, the eyes seem really wierd both here and the previously seen bedding.
I agree..  They need to be angled.

Got a quick look of the G5 toys.
Thank you for posting the first glance Hm.. I love all of Sunny's accessories. Sunny doesn't have articulation -- and the other two are. So maybe they will be two different sets? One with rooted hair, one without? Edit again -- I'm really liking the back legs on sunny  no more blobby sticks.

Ball is in your court to ask for a partial refund. As I said, if you explain the reasoning behind the amount you will ask, hopefully they would say yes... compared to grabbing a number out of thin air. As a seller, I'd say yes because I wouldn't want to deal with the hassle of the return, cleaning it, and reselling it. I would consider it a time/money loss to myself.

I like the look of these, the more I see. I like the color on green boy and he has a blaze To anyone -- do we know if the tv show will also have this style, or will it be downgraded to 2D?

Funko is making POPs of the old Candyland characters from the 80s/90s, which is awesome. My complaint: Why is there no “Retro!” edition of the board game itself available for sale? The new Candyland boards are hideous. 
I remember seeing a retro CandyLand at target for quite awhile in the same endcap as ponies. Although that was quite a bit ago. I don't know if it was 80s or 60s tho. They have this one at Amazon -- https://www.amazon.com/Retro-Candy-Land-1967-Game/dp/B01C3J4DNU/ref=asc_df_B01C3J4DNU
