Equestria Girls

[PandaBerryInSpace]

I am really sorry if there's already a thread for this, but did everyone see the recent NY Times article? Equestria Girls spinoff has been confirmed, with real concept art.

That's horrifying.

Alright this is how I see it, it's like when they re did the powerpuff girls in Japanese.  It was completely different from the original.  I'm not going to put high expectations into the Equestria Girls but I'll give it a chance.  It could be worth a watch maybe not.

That's horrifying.

This.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I think they're cute.  There are a few things I would change though:
-Outfits are too similar.  Variety needed, especially in Rarity's department.  We all know that she doesn't do everyday fashion.  Then again, there's also a possibility that the clothes style is following a uniform policy...
-If wings are there, horns need to be too.  Massive "duh!" there.
-Lipstick.  Get rid of it.  It isn't doing them any favors (especially not Rainbow Dash or Applejack) and not all girls are into that crap.

Otherwise, very cute.  It will never, ever replace ponies in my heart but I am interested to see where it will go.

I'm looking forward to it! I think the designs are pretty cute and i can't wait to see the actual dolls. I like how the new designs kept the ears, tails and wings.
I don't get why the horns are gone though and i wish the eyes on Applejack were a bit different.

I still don't know that I'm 100% sold on that being the official art.  It just doesn't seem right to me.  And I know it's NY Times and a reputable paper, but they don't have any direct quotes of confirmation of information from Hasbro itself anywhere in that article, so...at this point I'm taking it all with a grain of salt still.  Seems like it's still a lot of speculation and no confirmation.

To think I thought Hasbro may release a Firefly/Dash or Surprise/Pinkie pack to celebrate 30 years of pony... I guess this is a much more accurate representation.  :/

I am interested to see what the premises may be.

This.

Yupp my thoughts exactly

Since my last post, I found out that this was the 30th anniversary celebration thing (I didn't read the article at first; I went elsewhere, so it took me so long to notice that).  I must say, this is nothing close to what I had in mind for the anniversary.  I would prefer pony toys for that occasion...

Just from the designs, it feels like it goes against the original character theme of the show-  that every girl is different!  Putting every single one of them in a skirt and makeup seems to miss that point.

Cute teenage girls?  Oh no, that IS truly horrifying! 

Joking aside, I hope they make dolls of these.

[Mkia]

Wow I didn't know they confirmed it.

Well if all else fails the dolls will be cool!! Lol

I'm still not a fan of these outfits. Twilight and Pinkie's aren't bad, and I kind of like Rarity's, but the rest... uhh...

I find it weird that they added wings and ears, but no horns? Not sure how I feel about cutie marks on their faces either.

But wow, that's super dumb if this is all Hasbro is doing for the 30th anniversary. Seriously?

QFT!!! (quoted for truth I can't remember if I've seen anyone use that in a long time...)

SO ORIGINAL HASBRO..

no horns yet they gave them pony ears... Way too much like monster high. If monster high was was given a shot of rainbows and sugar, this would be that result.
