I highly doubt G5'll look anything like that, especially if those concepts that leaked a while ago are legit.

How sure/unsure are we of that concept art being legit?
yeah, I'm reasonably certain that at least some of it's legit - I'm just a sceptical person in general ;) Don't like to put too much stock in something unless we're totally certain of it, you know?
Granted even if the concepts are legit there's no saying G5 will definitely look like them, anyway! But I still don't see Hasbro veering off in this direction, is what I meant.
I think she's cute- I would like them to add an eye to the face mold- but other than that, the look is okay with me! :D (but I think maybe optimistic)
After Ragamuffin edited it I no longer want it, I want Raga's design :lol:
I'd be all for a G3-esque return for G5. I did love the bit in that EqG short that was a direct nod to G3.

Yeah, I tend to be the same way. :)
And yes, a lot can change between early concept art and finished product... That said, I like most of the concept art (especially the feathered hooves!) better than what we have now, so... I’m hopeful. XD

On this note (just reading back and noticing this side discussion)...
I wonder if at any point the success/whatever of the BF ponies will feed into how G5 - if such a thing happen - may evolve. We've only seen at best leaked information around an animated thing for this "G5" (which I'm sorry, is not G5 if it recycles the same old cast, it's 4.5, but I digress). We haven't seen toys...
But yeah, so long as the M6 are involved it's not G5.
Transformers is constantly reusing characters between generations and some of the G4 characters are from G3. To me it matters more if the story is new.

This is how I feel about it too.
Although g3.5, that was the case. (and as you know ppl wanted to call that g4).

People did though.
(And on that note I don't personally believe in half gens. But I'll call them that because that's what the community categorizes them as).
The point is that there's no rules. It tends to be a general consensus and not all people agree.
Yep, and that's fine, but nothing in that contradicts anything I said in my post about the fact we don't have a G5 yet, we don't know what it will/may be, and we can't really judge what to call it until we know at the very least it exists.

The topic of the thread is purely hypothetical to begin with. "How would you feel if the Pearly Twilight Pose ended up being G5's style?

I feel like you're responding more for the sake of disagreeing with me than because there's actually a discussion going on.
I quoted Wardah... because I agreed with her.
Sorry I don't have the ability to cut out long qoutes when I'm on my phone. I edited out the string to make it clear.
I still wonder what would happen if Hasbro decided (based on the retro success) to shove a bunch of revised G1 characters into their new reboot and how people would respond. I know that was the original thought around G4 but Hasbro weren't into the idea. But the retros seem successful (here at John Lewis I've been told more than once by different staff members when I've asked about stock that the rainbows sell out very fast and are super popular) and now Hasbro are FINALLY acknowledging G1 directly in this Twilight thing...
I wonder what people would feel about that? Not so much the style of the mould but the actual idea of Twilight reverting to being Twilight in a new pony iteration?
I don't like it quite as much as G3, but I could definitely warm up to it! While I think that G4 MLP's animated style ponies are pretty cute, the toys themselves have never appealed to me, thus I've never had any interest in collecting them. If Hasbro went to a return to form style like this, it would make me happy.
Somehow I doubt that's what is going to happen, though. I fear for the worst.

Hmmm
I don't wanna be that person but I'm a bit bummed to see m6. 😢
I hope people will make customs out of these cuties.
I honestly looked at it and felt confused.
I would like to see g1 versions of the m6 and g4 versions of theirr g1 antecedents but...
Not sure what that is.
For a parent company to be upstaged by a franchised producer like bf is a bit sad as regards poses but...
Those are not g1 or g4. I don't really know what they are or how I feel seeing theI do like the g1 Twilight Sparkle on the box though.

I'm still confused. I don't know what basic fun has to do with these.
Is she saying these look cheap?
I don't think I said anything confusing or in need of translation but no...I said bf do a better job than hasbro of replicating g1 poses...thus upstaging the mothership.
I didn't say anything about cheap...nor did I say these were bf o.o.

I guess I was confused by the comparison. Since there had been a discussion of the mold already. I thought there was a discussion this wasn't a direct 1:1 copy.
Maybe I'm easily confused lol.
I don't see anything wrong with the poses. The reading one reminds me of Truly.
I like the heads on the Pegasus and Earth ponies better. Fluttershy in particular looks very sweet and gentle.
The rearing poses remind me of a cross between the Firefly and Ice Skater posed ponies. I even like Twilight Sparkle and she's made me soooo mad with how often she's been packed in against my will.
To expand a little though I guess what I don't understand, especially with your price comparison, is that Hasbro went to the trouble of making these poses from scratch for this project, which must have cost a certain amount to do. So I wonder if they can't use the ones BF are using or don't want to for some reason (bearing in mind there's also the little Firefly and Glory floating around, and I know Firefly was unpopular but Glory was a pretty good miniature).

It's the wrong leg for Firefly pose...I just sat the retro one next to the screen and they are quite different - though that's not to say that's not what Hasbro was aiming at, even if it's way off base.
The open mouths confuse me a little bit. Not on the pegasus ponies, but on the earths. I guess they all have the same head..?

I mentioned cost when I was confused.
It was more so to say that these don't have a variety of poses because the cost for a mold is expensive. So 2 molds for 6 ponies at a lower price point wasn't that bad.
But these are 3", so they can't use BF molds.
No. But they *could* have used the mini Glory or mini Firefly moulds...possibly? I am not actually sure how tall those are, not least because we don't measure in inches so much here now and my Glory is at home, not in London...but that would've worked and the pose already existed?
I am SO glad that they didn't use the mini Fakiefly mould for the Pegasus. My daughter had a Fakie earth pony that looked a lot like that. The pegs are my favorites here and the thin tails can be fixed.
Someone on the TP said the faces look like Dollymix moulds.
The legs are G3 all the way, being slimmer, more angled and having more defined joints.
These are brand new moulds aren't they?

They feel pretty G3 to me, almost like if a G1 and a G3 had a baby. Since the symbols, eye style, and wings are similar to G1, while the poses look G3.

Um.
If they can get Megan and Spike's names right, is it that hard to get Cupcake as well?
I think it was meant to be funny, but there are lots of ways to make funnies out of G1 cartoons. Five legged lofty for one. Whoever did this was either a brony called in on their day off to do it or someone who really wants a raise but didn't get one.
Seriously, I am wondering if Hasbro's having a mid life crisis over the fact G1 ponies are still popular despite them pushing pinkie pie at every possible opportunity??
That is also such a weird obscure clip to choose.
Nobody within an inch of G3 or G4 has the right to comment on G1 names. I mean, seriously.

It's sort of a "Cinemasins" type video. "Everything Wrong with X in Minutes or Less" is trendy on Youtube. It's a parody-ish genre where you hyperbolically point out inconsistencies or really... just about anything in a video or movie. It's a bit tongue-in-cheek.

The problem isn't the parody idea, it's that it failed to be funny or even relevant.
I genuinely felt like if it wasn't on the Hasbro thing, I'd assume it was done by a brony to mock G1 for some reason. It has that kind of tone and a similar lack of knowledge about G1? Or are they thinking that doing this is going to get that kind of fan to watch G1? Is G1 airing somewhere? What is going on? It's so confusing.
I think it says everything that comments are disabled on the video xD.

I have lots of thoughts on Hasbro's mentality at the moment where G1 is concerned.
They've tried to separate themselves from G1 for a while now, but till last year they could just assume all pony fans liked G4 better and didn't think much about G1 overall. BUT with Basic Fun doing the retros, which seem to be doing well and popular...now they're on the G1 bandwagon, but they're really still not committed to G1.
They want our money as G1 fans, but as Hascon demonstrated, they don't really understand the pre-G4 community, nor have they really gone to town on reaching out to us for a long time. Instead it's been franchised/licenced merchandise or products that have been on our wavelength - clothing, retro ponies, mashems, etc.
Hasbro seem to have realised this now, but I feel like they've trapped themselves on the brony side of this equation. So maybe this is an attempt to get over that?
Not a very good one though.
The thing is the retros have come at the same time as G4 is fading. The G4 movie wasn't a huge success. The toys have shelfsat in places here. G4 doesn't sell well at the moment, a lot of it is already at the carboot sale. I picked up a lovely Princess Skystar fashion style a few weeks ago, and two weeks ago I saw that electric twilight monstrosity there (The expensive one that talks that was out a couple of xmasses ago). So G4 is fading and the retros are building momentum at the same time.
It's like HAsbro just realised that they missed a slice of the pony profit by discarding G1 (obviously they get money for the licencing and stuff, but not directly). And so now this.
I wonder if it has impacted any design decisions around G5. I guess we'll find out. If they just get the message that WE ARE FED UP WITH M6 then that will be a step in the right direction.

Oh, that's an interesting thought - I wonder if that's what's going on? Some weird legal thing that actually prevents Hasbro from doing proper repros? Maybe it'd be seen as competition or something? Hmmmm.
ok wait what? ok my head is in a spin, awesome news to see something new, wow Amazon exclusive, i never knew they did exclusives, which is good news cos they will ship these to New Zealand. but that hair quality look sketchy so might wait for someone to review them first .
but the poses especially the raring peg pose is from a remco rearing fakie and remco fakie wings.
anyways who's the toy company making these?

If that youtube is truly official then we have to accept Hasbro okayed it.
I usually don't mind fans making these kinds of videos because I myself am guilty of making fun of what I enjoy.
But some of these blurps were going too far.SpoilerNaming Cupcake "Sprinkle Bottom", that bit about Megan and Spike and jokingly censoring a pony because she sits with legs open. Really, Hasbro? This is the humor I don't even expect from FiM writers. And believe me, FiM writers smuggled some really eyebrow raising stuff into some episodes. Like AJ saying "I am going to buck in an Appleloosa hen house" :lookround:
Nevermind that actual trivia about MLP n Friends would have been cooler than just cracking jokes. Is there something like this about G1 Transformers or GI Joe? Or is it just MLP again because "hurr hurr they just had tea parties"? Once they make fun of their golden child Transformers I will allow it for once :P
Honestly, G1 TF and GI Joe were ten times sillier than MLP. GI Joe was a YMCA joke waiting to happen and Transformers was too stupid to function. And I say this as a TF fan.
The new Masterpiece Hound comes with a giant key for show accuracy despite that scene it's from being completely bonkers and Hasbro just treats it seriously and includes it for the fans.

Maybe not as G5 but it looks like there's going to be a complete set of them.
What I like about these are the retrofied cutiemarks. Especially RD's.
That video is concerning. If it's an official channel, Hasbro could you please give the g1 show some respect?
I wonder why comments are disabled... -_-

Oooh. I actually really like these! I think these are better designed than the retro Pearly Twilight Pose. I must have them!

I’m not really sure this is only a retro gimmick of M6, or actually new molds for MLP. I like them only because they are more MLP than what we have seen lately- but to me they don’t look like they have been made with the same attention to detail as G1 (and G2/G3). I wouldn’t buy them. And I honestly can’t understand why Hasbro seem to hold on to M6 like they are the only characters that count. Please Hasbro- let the M6 go! If this truly are a new story and new personalities it just seems cheap and re-used to me to keep the same character designs. It can’t be that difficult for them to make other designs...
I love the artwork though!!
Original "mane 6" ...

This bugged me too when I saw it. :lol:
I mean come on Hasbro, they were just the first six ponies that released, they were never main or core characters of any sort.
To those like me who are saying the neck is wonky, I've found their source of inspiration for the molds. :lol:I think the problem with this particular illustration, is that nobody DREW any of the ponies. They used existing art that they modified.
Hasbro updated the official MLP site and added the Mane 6 in the retro style, but at what cost?! Poor AJ doesn't have a neck!

They are using and/or modifying the retro vectors.

u_u I don't have enough time to see what that might be based off of..
Whoa, did someone say tatos? I'm hungry! anywhooooo... Did you see the size of that fly that just went by?
..............................
I am somewhat OK with this restyling. I'll def grab a Blue Belle for my army if a core group based on G1 is released (which seems to be the trend), but the rest not so much. Just don't have the gotta have em all mentality unless it's G1's.

Right? Just so sweet and cute. I wonder why these ponies aren't the "retro look" that is what I remember ponies looking like.
The "retro ponies" they are using now seem pretty modern. I don't hate them and they are reminiscent of the retro ponies- but why come up with a new art style to define a style that already exists and is beloved? That part I don't get.

I get the big anime eye thing but I wish it was a little more subdued. When ponies start looking like their faces are 80% eye it's just creepy.
I was watching an episode of The Lionguard with my nephew because his parents know I enjoy cartoons and will sit with him no problem... and there was a dolphin with huge forward facing manga eyes, it looked so out of place and freaky I was hit by Uncanny Valley and barely couldn't continue watching.

Why is there an anime eyed dolphin in the African Savannah Disney?

That's what annoys me in modern animation in general, the prevalence of those characters that have long, gangly limbs, a ridiculously small torso, disproportionately large head and eyes that take up majority of their face and are more detailed than the rest of the body put together. I know that this tactic somehow hacks our brains into associating them with cuteness or something, but to me it just screams lazy. I still think that the ponies from "Rescue at Midnight Castle" were way cutier with their horselike proportions than the new ponies who have those white spots on their eyes bigger than their muzzles.I don't think anything will ever top these gals in my mind...

Appeal maybe? I love the small eyes the old art has, it looks more like a real pony, but nowadays that might not be popular. Everything now has huge sparkly eyes.

When human anime have eyes that take up so much of their face- it's just as weird. I love this anime but come on- this is a human ? No way.
