If the snouts were slightly longer the G5 designs would have been perfect in my opinion. But regardless me being picky.... I think the new ponies look hella cute!
After a decade of the ponies from G4 looking like chihuahuas.... I am ready for something new!

They just posted on their instagram account that the main ponies will be voiced by Vanessa Hudgens, James Marsden and other celebrities....
I have a feeling that when they'll do a G5 tv show... they'll change the voice actors for the characters because they wouldn't be able to afford them for a lower budget tv show.

I love the expression!! she looks so happy! I also like the way you drew the ears and the hair! (it looks so fluffy..... like a lion's mane almost!)

Thinking about it now it seems very odd to hear about how much fans hated g2... they look just as cute as G1 ponies to me.... Sure they were smaller and thinner but so were the flutter ponies and the sweeheart sisters from G1. This wasn't the first time people saw smaller, skinnier ponies. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginLike I fail to see how... the sweetheart sisters were drastically different from g2 ponies. To me they looked similar (and both were very cute).

What do you think were some missed opportunities in the G1 cartoons?
I would have loved to see the pony friends (Zig Zag, Creamsicle, Spunky etc.) featured in at least one of the episodes. An episode featuring the sweetheart sister ponies would also have been cool!
Also I would have loved to see more backstory about Megan... get to see her parents or her house in the human world and as well also see more of her regular non-talking pony TJ.

I really think the issue with Paradise Estate being too modern in a Medieval fantasy setting could have been avoided if the little ponies' second home was something like "Paradise Palace" and it could have been a bigger and more fancy version of the Dream Castle.

People didn’t like G2 because it was the first time they’d ever been rebooted. They looked drastically different, lived in a different world and so on. I was ok with them but I would have much preferred staying with the original ponies. It was a sad time.
However, once I was able to get a complete DVD set of the G1 cartoons, I was much happier. I love our modern world. 
I see, was G3 liked more by fans of G1?
Yes, G3s were very popular with kids and collectors alike
I understand! I was a kid when G3s were in stores and I loved them too! To me they didn't look that drastically different from the ponies in the G1 cartoons that I saw. I still see G1 and G3 as being very similar..... the biggest difference was that G1 had more unicorns and pegasi while G3 had mostly earth ponies.

It's sad to me to see how much negativity this new gen has been receiving from the get-go, especially when I genuinely think they are SO DARN CUTE!
TBH, I haven't seen it as negativity really...in context with the way G2 was greeted, it's literally nothing at all. I think most people are quite on the fence about it and those who aren't so keen are more just neutral about it, there's not been (as far as I have seen) a lot of massively ranty posts on the subject.
Pony Life also had a much more vicious reception. And actually, I think G4 in its latter days has had a lot more mud thrown at it for repetitive toys and so on.
Most of the conversation I've seen on G5 has been extremely mild.
...But it's all relative compared to G2.
And of course, there's nothing at all amiss with finding G5 cute 
I wasn't online when G2 started and I wasn't in a MLP community at all actually..... so I am curious... why was G2 disliked by fans?

Am I the only one that felt like that the Paradise Estate was a downgrade from the Dream Castle in the 80s MLP movie? I know the actual playset was much bigger than the Dream Castle playset.... but in the movie's universe.... the castle seemed a lot more grand and majestic.
Yeah, but... did the castle have a home gym?

Hopefully not haha! Stuff like that in later G1 stories actually bothered me a little. I like my ponies living in a non-modern world. I definately agree with Gator, the castle was a lot more fitting with the whole "fantasy" genre that they were going for. I wish that we could have seen an episode at least with the Grundles living in the Dream Castle....

The ponies went from living in a beautiful fairytale-like castle to.... living in a pink house with a pool.
I know it was all about marketing and promoting the new toy in the movie but... it would have been better if they made a bigger castle playet or something...

I don't know how unpopular this opinion is... but G4 ponies had the least appealing designs out of all the generations. I didn't like how they looked both as toys and in the animated cartoon. They barely looked like horses. G5 designs are an improvement in my opinion.

Welcome! Since you said that you went to an art school, is there anywhere where we could see your art?
Edit: Nevermind, I just noticed that you listed your instagram account haha!

I feel like it depends on the quality and the name and how it looks. I don’t think every toy similar to my little pony is a fakie. Like some things you can tell it’s a fakie but other things look like it’s too different to be a fakie.
I see.... thanks for answering!! I was just curious why some things like these are not seen as fakies despite the visual similarities to MLP's (soft rounded shape, short snout, big eyes and pastel colors) visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login

Sometimes I am confused what non-MLP horse toy.... people consider to be fakies. Can all fantasy cartoony horse toys be seen as "fakies"? Even Barbie horses or Schleich figurines?
Or how about those Disney Princess ponies? Are those considered fakies too?

I really like the character designs, especially Zipp, but I still hate how non-horselike they are and I can't help but feel it was a calculated effort to manufacture another Brony Phenomenon and you just can't manufacture something like that.
To me it almost seems like they want FIM level popularity but not the same demographic. It seems like this time they are aiming at the socially aware Steven Universe crowd. But while everyone says the animation reminds them of Disney it kinda reminds me of Miraculous Ladybug.
I wonder if Hasbro will have the balls to make one of the ponies LGBT? Probably not... but we'll see.
