New G4 pony toy designs

[starrynights]

So, is anyone else planning on experimenting with acetone head shrinking on these?

Twilight would be really cute if she wasn't meant to be Twilight and was indeed meant to be some kind of fox or cat friend of the ponies...

Kitsune maybe.

Customs anyone...?

Giant Pretty Kitty/Little Litter customs?

The way the legs are attached are wrong" especially the front legs.

Then there is her husband, who had an entire episode in Powerpuff Girls dedicated to anti-feminist messages and villainizing women who use the Venus symbol... I actually remember anti-Faust fans making her responsible for this episode and harassing her for it until she apologized in her husband's name.

Sorry to nitpick, but Lauren Faust actually did write/storyboard that PPG ep ("Equal Fights").

To be honest, I felt that episode was kind of misinterpreted by a lot of people, in different (well, two) ways.  Ultimately, I don't think the episode was hating men, women, feminists or anything - I think it was just saying you can go too far, and shouldn't view one side as bad.  It was flawed in places (that playground scene), but I think people got the wrong message from it (or only I did and everyone else got it right.)

Power Puff Girls was always a show of mixed feelings for me.

Twilight would be really cute if she wasn't meant to be Twilight and was indeed meant to be some kind of fox or cat friend of the ponies...

Kitsune maybe.

Customs anyone...?

Now that would be an episode I'd enjoy watching...

Judas jumpin' priest, for the love of all that is sacred in this world, do not let these be G5.

These make G3.5 look adorable. Big oof. I haven't been so disappointed by a pony reveal in, well, ever. G3.5 was disappointing to me but this is a whole new level.

This is NOT MLP. This looks like LOL or something like that. The bulbous heads and big gaudy eyes on tiny bodies and RAINBOWS AND GLITTER EVERYWHERE trend that EVERYTHING seems to be following now. It has made toys so, so boring for me in the past few years, I barely even skim the toy aisles these days, where I used to be in them the split second I walked into a store.

Oooof.


I do agree with Taffeta though, the one thing these might be good for would be kitsune customs.

Okay, I’ll give in and say I think Twilight Sparkle is kinda cute. The raised hoof pose looks so bad. The head makes it look unbalanced to begin with, but then to have that huge seam where the leg meets the body? There are fakies with better quality than that. At least Twilight and Fluttershy look a little more... grounded, I guess, by being more static. I’m not over their side view of them though. They look so goofy. Why don’t they have a chin??

I’m getting the feeling Potion Nova will be a character in whatever special is coming up. I’m getting the feeling magic is going to be a big part of the storyline since we have Trixie in this line up too? It’s an interesting choice, so she must be playing a role in this somehow too.

I'd like to see a modern pony toy that actually looks like a pony. G1-G3 are great in that regard, G4 is decent. Anything else? Not so much. Might get Potion Nova and AJ at the least.

[Wind~Whistler]

Just noticed, but why does Twilight’s barrette appear to be the same size as her head?!

Thank goodness for the basic funs, hqg1cs and g3 fakies.

Okay these might grow on me yet. Now that the inital shock has passed I'm starting to find some humor in them. Does anyone else thing their weird overbite is hilarious? Everytime I see them all I can think of is where would their teeth go? They remind me of that one meme with the greyhound with the big giant overbite?? And the meme is just the dog saying things in a really stupid manner?

Everytime I see them from the side I pretty much see this and it just makes me giggle.

[sd_dreamcrystal]

Their overbite is a poor execution of the toy having an open mouth.
From the front the mouth looks okay-ish, but once you see it from the side... yeah..
The trot's legs are also not the right length but that isn't uncommon for G4s anyway with pool noodle legs even being a thing in the show lol.

I only plan on getting Potion Nova... maybe... I'm still not a fan of these initially but maybe they will grow on me...

[Sparkle Pony]

From the original images, I thought these would be a bit bigger, but the same size as G4s?! I sense major issues with keeping these toys standing in the future.

[Ponyfan]

I'm still not a big fan of these. Someone mentioned that the ponies reminded them of Plagg from Miraculous Ladybug and now I can't unsee it.  Sometimes I think Hasbro must come up with new pony names at their company cocktail parties. Potion Nova doesn't make any sense.
