New G4 pony toy designs

[PinkieLopBun]

But, like...G4.75?? What are we going to call this.

I fear these are G5

I don't think they are. These have the G4 logo, and the Amazon description for at least one of them (haven't checked others) mentions Friendship is Magic by name.

Unpopular opinion, but... I love these.  G4 designs looked so boring to me.  I love the somewhat more angular design of these toys.  I’ve been terribly bored of the main 6 but I can 100% get behind these.  I do hope they’re a little bit bigger than regular G4’s though.  I couldn’t stand how small those brushables were.

Rarity looks like there's a little extra something something in that spray bottle.

Edit: Pinkie already cut in for me, whoops!
I think the plan was always to have a G4 into G5 movie? I'll check with my cartoon cohorts but I think we were supposed to have one more spurt of G4.

Oh good point on the size. I just hope they come out sooner than their stated date so we can find out!

Those are terrifying.  Just, when Hasbro?

You know, I was talking with my friend last night on how Hasbro is destroying the classic Milton Bradley games lately.  I said Hasbro is acting like they did in the 60's when they were riding high on G.I. Joe and no matter what they did was successful.  That was followed by the 70's when the company almost ceased to exist and needed to completely restructure going into the 80's.  I think Hasbro is going to run into a wall where their decisions have alienated their fans and just sour on the general public.

And those designs are...jibbly jibbly.

You have got to be joking!!!

Whew! I was thrown by the hooves. Too much of a change. So as long as these are branded FiM I won't sound the alarm just yet

What the hell is that? 

Hasbro, I hate you sometimes.

I've already shared my thoughts on these in some Discord servers but I'll do it here too. So first of all, I'm pretty positive these are not G5. The logo is the G4 logo, just a different color. The designs are the same as G4 Mane 6, just that they're in a new mold style. Their species are all the same (remember that they wanted to make Fluttershy a unicorn and Pinkie a pegasus?), the cutie marks are still G4 cutie marks, and the release date feels way too soon for this to be G5. These come out in January? Just two months from now? I'm pretty sure Hasbro would want to show off G5 at Toy Fair or something before its release, not after its release. I think these are just another G4 line and the upcoming CG movie's gonna be G4's last hurrah before we finally do get G5.

As for the designs themselves, they're definitely not ponies. But really neither are normal G4s? Original G4s and these new ones both equally are not horses to me. With previous G4s giving me deer vibes and these giving me cat ones. I think these are cute and I'll probably pick them up despite them being more Mane 6, just because the mold styles are so different so at least they don't like identical to nearly every other G4 Mane 6 releases. What's nice is I think these girls here may be bigger than normal G4s, if the price is anything to go by. The Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie say their MSRP will be $12.99 Canadian, which is around $10 USD. Considering these just come with a few accessories I don't think that would warrant being around $10 if they're normal G4 size, so I'm thinking they'll be a little larger?

Doesn't mean they won't carry it over. G4s are nothing more but tweaked G3.5 Ponyvilles.

I SINCERELY hope these monstrosities aren't the next generation though.

I dub thee... G4.75.

2nd worst only to G3.5.

[Leave a Whisper]

As a trans guy, on bad days I think of myself as a deformity. These are worse.

[Mlp Sunsparkle]

Oh dear... 

Bordering on scary to me, hopefully they’re one offs and there won’t be a movie sized line of these! And that rarity looks hard plastic, not a fan of that either!
