G4 male pony brushables, yay or nay?

[Vesperline]

At this point I'd be more surprised if they don't release a Big Mac with his own mold.  I would expect it to sell well among children as well, and not just all the bronies and collectors.

Would love to see at least a more generic mold released for some of the various backround male ponies and some toyline originals.  Doubt they'd do many, but I'm sure some will come with a third season.

Of course...brushables...yes for every pony...as many as possible...

If they have invested in a boy mould for Shining Armour...we will see it reused...its too expensive for HB not to reuse it

[Shimmer]

I don't mind the troll hair and I like the mould but I wish the tail was more ponyish, it sort of look likes a bunnytail at the time. And his "bib" looks weird, I will have to sew him a new attire. I would ofcourse love to see more boys, especially Big Macintosh!

To me it looks like the Shining Armor mold has been designed to work for as many characters as possible (similar to how the Cadence mold was designed to work for both her and Luna). Hasbro won't make a new mold unless absolutely, absolutely necessary, and maybe not even then...

I want to see Royal Guards more than anything (pegasus type, unicorn type and Luna type! ), hopefully not with  painted on armor, but if it happens that's probably how it's going to be be. :/

Oh yeah, the "troll hair" looks awesome to me!

I'd love to see more male ponies! But have a feeling that they'll just be reusing Shining Armor's mould for all the future boys as well. All the girl ponies have pretty much the same body with only small differences so I'd imagine they'd follow the same pattern with male ponies too.  It's cheaper for them.

Yes for brushables , But no to the troll hair

I may be the only one who actually LIKES the troll air rofl

You can add me to the list.  I like that rustic, manly look of the new hair

[StarDapple]

Yes to brushable boys!  I'm not big on the troll hair myself, but I kind of like the idea of using a different type of hair on the boys to really make them stand out.  And who knows, the troll hair might be nice once I start to play with it. 


I would LOVE a Big Macintosh and a Braeburn!

Keep in mind that Hasbro does not always do things that make sense or seem profitable lol. There were at least 4 different G3's that were an entirely new mold and only used once. Baby Honoloo-lu, Baby Mochanut, etc.

It's possible Shining Armor will be the only pony used in that mold. Buuuut I'm going to guess yeah we'll be seeing more of that mold, depending on how Shining Armor sells.

Yes, totally yes! Although the awful troll hair, which I've always considered unbrushable, kinda hurts my excitement for them quite a bit. I've always hated male toys with "fake" hair, especially when female characters have more normal-looking hair. It's not even about being able to brush it, I just think it looks weird and lazy.

and cheap and nasty.

[kittybethy]

oh course!!!

[majikarte]

I kind of feel like the only person who really doesn't care if boy ponies are made or not? But I was pretty excited about Shining Armour since I knew Hasbro making boys was a thing that would make a lot of people really happy. I kind of like the troll hair, but I think they should definitely make a few with normal hair as well... and I wouldn't mind seeing the troll hair on the girl ponies, I think it would be a lot better for DJ PON-3 than the regular hair she's going to have. A Rainbow Dash with that hair might be neat too?

my only concern with the troll hair is that well, they don't age well. things like to breed in them if you're not careful.

[StarDragon]

I'd be concerned with the hair growing super dry and frizzy, too. I don't mind the actual quality of the hair for boys- since you mold hair styles more easily and whatnot (still would prefer the same shiny slick quality that the girls have, though- anytime!!), but I don't like how it is done. It looks choppy, and short. What am I supposed to do with that? -.-

So glad there actually IS a boy, though! But I am not sure if I want to spend so much $$ for something of this quality. :S There should at least be more hair.....

I LOVE the brushables, and I would LOVE to see boys with hair like that.  However, I am in no way disappointed that they made them with the "troll hair."  I think it actually makes them look more distinguished from the females.

I would actually love to see them have maybe a less fragile form of softer hair (like the G1 watercolor baby sea ponies) that is rooted like the brushables.  My main concern for the hair now is its fragility.  It won't really hold up over time as well.
