She exists

oh, I didn't realize they were snowglobe ponies. I'll still wait to see them in person before deciding, but I'm definitely less interested in them now than when I was thinking they were just clear (and a softer plastic like normal ponies)
and what's with the mismatched wings/bodies on two of them??

Oh so the snow glob ponies WILL be a bit heavy and apparently you won't be able to custom them

Yeah I thought they were going to be like the normal ponies too

I am glad we finally have some sense of scale for the playset.  Does look like it will work with the playful sized ponies.  This is the thing that I am officially most excited about.  I really wish they would make TS's library, though I know it is unlikely since she is now getting her own castle.

I would love Fluttershy's cottage as one of those pop playsets! then my army could have a little house to live in

I am thoroughly disappointed with this year's lineup.
I absolutely loathe the Equestrian Girls line, and that seems to be Hasbro's primary focus now. Even if they are pairing each doll with a brushable versions of herself. It just doesn't warrant spending $20 on one small pony and a hideous doll.

Only things that looked somewhat interesting to me were the pop ponies, Sugarcube Corner playset, and the new male blind bags. So, looks like this will be a slow pony year for me. *Heads back to the MH Arena.*

Yeah I'm not sure with that, either. I definitely prefer the all clear ones. I think it's a bit odd Cadence is in Celestia's mould, too, when the other mould was actually more accurate to her =/

[Snix]

well, at least Octavia seems to had his bow tie molded and not ridiculously painted like the DJ Pon 3 glasses...

It may be that the mould works better with the gimmick.  I mean that because of the way the pony has to be manufactured in order for the "snow globe" to work, that they "had" to use the larger mould because the smaller moulds were *too* small.

No, a lot of us don't seem to like them because we think they look horrible and are cheaply made (mostly no articulation, sub par hair and clothing). They keep getting compared to MH because that's their primary competition, and they're in the same price bracket when they are obviously a lower quality doll.

Personally, I wanted to like the dolls, I really did. I liked what the characters looked like in the movie. But Hasbro missed the mark making them into dolls. They could have done so much better. Then to add insult to injury, they make it harder on those of us that just want to stick to the brushables by pairing most of them with dolls we don't want. It makes me like the dolls even less because however I end up going about getting those ponies, I'm going to pay more for them than I should have to.

Twilight Pink Navarro:  I can't answer for everyone, but I will give you my thoughts!  I don't hat EG, but I don't like it.  The spin off movies don't bother me a bit, and if they were making dolls and doing lot's with the pony line, I think there would be a whole lot less complaining.  My dislike of it is that they are not ponies anymore.  I did not like dolls as a kid, but loved animals and ponies.  This is my little pony, but they are taking the pony out of it.  Honestly, how hard would it be to put out 2 or 4 waves of new ponies?  That's what bothers me and is really disappointing.

I don't hate them (and I don't like MH either)
I don't like them b/c they are not PONIES. Hasbro is leaving the "pony" out of "my little pony" more and more, and I was even more frustrated that they introduced them in a huge anniversary year for MLP without any nod to the anniversary, they turned the ponies into humans

*edit to add, I also think they are poorly made for the price (both MH and Bratzillaz and EAH seem to have better quality dolls including joints and actual feet for the same or less $). I don't like the way their faces look or the shape of their heads
