G5!

[YasuSuga]

Hi!
A long time ago around this year i've seen what are supposed to be possible G5 designs for the new show and stuff, probably most of you have already seen them but I wanted to share the pictures I found anyways.

At first I thought this image was a collab between various artist, I really like row 5 but they seem to be going for a Row 2 vive.

And this is the other one I found

I personally like the concepts, I don't like that they made Fluttershy an unicorn, I'd prefer her as an earth pony, but they're going to change all the story sooo I suppose this change is gonna make sense 

So, the most important part ...
Do you like how these look? Aaaaaand, how do you think the toys for this gen could be or should be based on these concepts?
I think they should probably gonna resemble G2 a little, the concepts look taller than the G4 characters, so I think this time instead of making them even smaller they should do them a little taller.
That's all, thanks for reading!

I do really HATES this if it's true.
Would likes new ponies for the next show, as I will not be angry on the changes on my actual beloved ones and will be happy to see new faces.
But like this... no, just NO. If Hasbro really does that, they lost me.

The row 2 and 6 ones made me wonder if they thought of making Apple Jack and boy.  Name could work for either sexes.

I like some of the art styles, but I would like to see NEW CHARACTERS. Or bring back some names from the G1 line that never got the spotlight. For example, Parasol, Tic-Tac-Toe, Munchy, etc. Or a mix of generations. Let's see a show that has G1's Lemon Drop, G2's Light Heart, G3's Autumn Skye, and G4's Cupcake and have them all be introduced in a new unique style.

To be honest, I would also be perfectly fine if the next toy line didn't have any tv show tie-in at all, much like G2. Maybe then they'd focus on a diversity of brushables rather then recycling the same six names over and over again. But either way, I'm excited to learn that Hasbro is moving onward to a new generation!

me too as above, like some of the art work, its very pretty and girly like it use to be but i want new main characters for G5. or a mix of all 4 gens would be interesting.

OMG everything you are saying here

We've already had a pretty sizeable thread about this that started when the leaks happened with more info and images

http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,389422.0.html

Since nothing is confirmed, despite these leaks, please take everything with a grain of salt.

[Goanna]

Yup like most of you I would much rather G5 be totally removed from G4... including all new characters and storyline :')
Some of the art styles in the leak are very pretty though. In any case it'll be interesting to see what's coming our way in the future!

I think they should have all new characters maybe the mane ones now could be in the background ,I like row 4 as they kind of look g1ish and I think the characters should be based on some G1s that didn't really get a look in on G3/G4 and I would like the toys to be G1 size not smaller ...again !!

[lovesbabysquirmy]

*shrug* whatever they think will earn them money...

I wouldn't mind Applejack and Pinkie sticking around, since they're from before G4 anyway. Minty should be a main character, I'm sure people would love that.

Also, Applejack as a boy but still with normal length pony hair, yes please!

Why gender bend a known character, when they can just make new ones or bring back old ones?

[dragonfly]

Now, these are cute. Never was a fan of the originals.

[RoseNoire]

Nice artworks, but I'm just patiently waiting for the next gen to arrive, whatever how it will look like, I just hope the surprise will be worth it. My biggest hope is seeing better designed pony toys and a decent end for FiM so everything is nicely done.

[FiddlePhan]

Whatever style they go with, can we have toys made with better quality than the current line?  lol

Usually I don't like gender bending known characters, BUT I used to imagine Applejack as a boy when I was a kid, and I've seen that others did as well, so it would be really neat to me if they did that. Otherwise I'm all for new characters or bringing background characters to the spotlight.
