First Look at G5 Toys

[Leave a Whisper]

Ugh you're so lucky! Bekuno, can I please post this on my G5MLP Instagram?
I'd love to see pictures of her rooting!

Of course! Please share any photos you like. I also sent in pics and info to MLPMerch and EQD. I found her at a Walmart here in Texas. I'm in the Houston area but closer to the gulf.

Here's some photo spam!!


Rooting, her rooting is very interesting. Her roots are done horizontal, the holes are very small and uneven, and I counted I think 11 lines?

Size comparison! She's bigger than a G4 styling size but smaller than a G4zilla

Accessories. This threw me off a lot. Her comb, the flower braid, and two large gems are outside the packaging and the rest are in that weird box next to her. Wehn I popped the box off, everything else was wrapped up very tight and small into tissue paper wrapped with tape. The "flowers" are fabric, and you use the small gems to secure them in place.

Ooh cute! And yeah, that rooting is very weird. Thank you Bekuno.

Thanks so much!
The flowers are interesting considering tie-dye is not part of her presence so far.

This is the first time I've ever found something so early, the G4 toys at my store aren't even on clearance yet. I'm one of the folks who usually gets stuck waiting for weeks/months for things to show up locally, if at all. Had that issue a lot in G4  and the G1 repos

I'm a vendor at this store until I quit by summers end, if I spot anyone else I'll be sure to share.

Oh, how's the hair quality?

I'm not super sure how to describe it, but it's very soft. To me, personally, it's good quality. It's better than the latter half of G4 for sure. The hair was tied with the little bands and not those plastic clasps, so it's very smooth and doesn't need much alteration right out of the package. I'm surprised they seemed to put some effort into styling it a bit, it curls nicely at the bottom too.

Wow, how exciting! Thank you for sharing. Her colors are so pretty!

This is literally human hair on a horse (well, human hair of someone suffering from radiation poisoning) And I hate to say it, but looking at the comparison photo made me realize that G4 toys actually looked much better, because while the head may have looked weird, at least the body was overall well-proportioned, whereas the G5 looks like a child's first attempt at drawing a quadruped animal.

Uhh what? A giant ping pong ball on a skinny body is well proportioned? These aren't well proportioned either mind you, but to say G4 is...is baffling.

No, I see what SpacePinto means, I think it's the body that looks so weird on G5s. Looks more like a dachshund body, doesn't quite fit with the head if that makes sense.
G4s are stylized too but in a way that all fits together better? This one's head and body look fine seperately but don't *quite* go together? Not sure how to put it.
(Admittedly, it could just be that I'm used to G4s by now)

Anyway, wow, congrats Bekuno!! Can't believe G5s are in shops already! I thought it'd be closer to the end of the month at *least* before any popped up. Her hair does look lovely, though wow that rooting is odd. I do love the colours they picked for her, very nice.

Both 4 and 5 are ill proportioned.  Nothing fits quite right on either of them.

Coming in to share a few more new items!

Plush "Sing and Glow" Izzy with a light up horn that talks and sings a song called "Fit Right In"

If you want to hear the song, though rather roughly through toy speakers, you can check out this twitter video where someone has her already!

A few more notes about the Izzy I picked up today, but she has a very firm plastic body and softer plastic head for the sake of rooting. Her symbol is only on one side.

Those are some shiny, shiny locks.

So do you think re rooting would be easier to do with the softer plastic heads?

[Shaiyeh]

Omg sitting Sunny is SO CUTE!

And Bekuno - thanks so much for sharing the pics of Izzy! Especially the size comparison. I'm SO excited to get her in the future I actually don't mind the hair. She's gonna be on display, and have her hair styled anyway,in my collection. (I am also guilty of doing similar plugs for fringes on some of my older custom ponies, too. weren't they quite popular for a while? like kkind of in a bouffant fringe style)  Hearing it feels soft and nice quality makes me happy ^^ Will you try styling it, or are you keeping it as it is out of box?

[ridi]

Pretty fun new additions, but more reusing of G4 molds really upsets me. At least the head mold is new, I think? Compare with G4 here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084XDB94X/

I definitely prefer Sunny's head. Her muzzle area reminds me a bit of G1 baby ponies. I think she's quite cute, one of the cutest G5 toys revealed so far.

The new Izzy plush frightens me a bit for some reason lol, but I do like the plastic eyes, makes me nostalgic for older plush toys.

No, I see what SpacePinto means, I think it's the body that looks so weird on G5s. Looks more like a dachshund body, doesn't quite fit with the head if that makes sense.

Oh!! You nailed it with the dachshund comparison. Something's been bugging me about the G5 bodies that I wasn't quite able to put my finger on but I think that's it.

Well, maybe not exactly well proportioned for a MLP toy, but at least it could more or less pass for a stylized cartoony animal, whereas the G5 looks like something you put on a fridge to make your kid feel accomplished.
