Reading the discussion about Applejack, I find myself asking "Then why not just create a new character to fill the role you want?"

Now they finally have that, and there is no way they're going to give it up. However it's possible there will be new characters introduced with the old characters (the way G4 had two core G3 ponies (revamped Pinkie and Rainbow Dash), but also new characters.) Which is what I'm hoping for. Spoiler I think that if this concept art is real and we see the finished designs of the ponies as we see them now that LadyMoondancer is right and Hasbro will keep at least some of the Mane 6 characters even if they change species. G3 Rainbow Dash was an Earth pony but G4 Rainbow Dash is a Pegasus. I also think that most of the kids who grew up with FIM will be ready to move on to other cartoons/shows so the next group of children that begin watching might not even realize that Twilight was a winged unicorn. I do hope they keep the species the same as in the current FIM. I like the hooves on the new Earth ponies and the flowing mane on Fluttershy. I also like Applejack’s markungs. PonyfanSpoilerBut the weird thing is that the species change from G3 to G4 makes sense because almost all ponies in G3 where earth ponies so some of them needed to be changed to create the 2 of each species dynamic. What is the point in randomly changing them now? I really would love a whole new cast but I guess I could live with these 4 if only there isn't a Pinkie Pie or a Rainbow Dash. But I can't imagine that Hasbro would leave those 2 behind. They've put so much into those characters since the beginning of G3. Pinkie is the pink one and Rainbow is, of course, the rainbow pony. 2 things strongly associated with the popular idea of " My Little Pony." Also, do these remind anyone else of "Horseland"? I think it's the overly exaggerated hair.

But as I said before, while they are real, they are just concepts, so they may differ from what we end up getting.Thanks for posting the pics, I appreciate it!Well, leaked info is only as good as the person leaking, you know? Like, leaking some legitimate info and then mixing something false in is a possibility (Wikileaks style). Normally I would say no one would bother doing that with MLP, but to be honest I could definitely see someone doing it just to troll the bronies, who are not exactly the most well-loved group on the internet.i''m 50% sure I seen that on Deviantart the past year 0-0

SpoilerSuper exciting! Let's hope Hasbro improves their toy quality for G5...Watching the brony community flip out over this is hilarious. I like FiM too guys, but obviously it can't last forever and we had to have a new generation eventually! The butthurt coming from them is outstanding.

Or Horseland. Thanks BeatlePokemonFan!
Is it bad that my first though of the new designs was Spoilerhow Hasbro will cheap out on their extra markings? I'd be happy with these designs. They have a more mature look, and seem like they could have more playability like hair and clothes since they aren't as "chibi" and compact as the G4s.
