I'm unsure why you think the other half of the G4 main gals won't ever be in the G5 style, all 6 of them were already shown in a set for this gen with the G4.5 blind bag molds
Also when the box says"fans new and old" I'm guessing they mean "old but still in the target audience age range," that is, actual children.

I immediately thought Dash looked the cutest, and now I'm realizing she's the only one where you can't see the eyebrows... hmm... does anyone have a G5 pony and some acetone on hand? For science?

I think you hit the nail on the head. After all, other than specific nostalgic releases, Hasbro has always been more interested in appealing to kids, not the adult collectors.

Now, I did play with them (and my ponies) outside quite a bit, so that may vary by child.My 90s Grand Champions are just fine. Some may be a bit yellowed but they came like that to me, when I started collecting again.

I'm willing to bet we'll see boys with brushable hair later down the lines, at least on the bigger ponies.G4 did the same thing with the troll hair boys. They did that for a few waves, realized how much people hated it, and started giving them proper mohawks.Hopefully when they see the displeasure for the moulded hair, they change it up later on.They do seem pretty receptive to feedback for this gen, so far. At least it seems like it to me.I really like the little jointed ones, I might get Izzy. She's my favourite of the bunch.I *really* want the bigger Izzy with the super long hair. Don't know if I'll end up getting many G5s but I know for sure I'm getting her.Checked for her in Walmart today, they didn't even have a single pony as it was. Not even the cheap little PonyLife rings.
