Is Hasbroken going to do anything remotely interesting with this cursed brand ever again? I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to hate it.
Thank goodness for BF and the retros, that's all I can say.
I heard there was some sort of letter-writing campaign to get the celestial space ponies made - did anything happen with that?

So has there been any talk of them creating any new ponies? I heard there was some sort of letter-writing campaign to get the celestial space ponies made - did anything happen with that?

I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to hate it.There's just a point where they lose all respect for the integrity of the toyline and start unashamedly going out for the market share of their competitors in a more blatantly obvious way. I don't and won't hate on G4 because the original G4 ponies, many of those (non M6) I really like and still will pick up at second hand sales (even though I never liked or got into FIM, they're still cute toys). But at this point, it's getting embarrassing. It's sliding down that slope MH went down into obscurity. And the sad thing is for me that this is an old brand we've seen reinvent itself completely with actual creative ideas time and time again (including at the start of G4, where that was actually important). And now they're copying the fad toy that's popular for this five minutes. At this rate we'll have pooping twilight by Christmas.Thank goodness for BF and the retros, that's all I can say.It's definitely time for G4 to end. The series is ending anyway, right? (I actually would be fine with that continuing, but please, no more on the really bad toy concepts and m6 clones).
Basic Fun did mention something about doing the whole G1 line, or at least most of it. And tbh, I don't believe them. Not because I think they're lying, but because I don't think they realize just how big it really is.
All this talk of new G4.5 reminded me... Did the sets with Sandbar and Silverstream ever show up in stores much? I really want them, and I hope they’re not already gone from shelves...

I really want them, and I hope they’re not already gone from shelves...I barely saw them in my neck of the woods. I did pick up the Silverstream set full price at Target sometime last year, but never saw the Sandbar one in stores. I also never saw Silverstream any time ever again. I had to get Sandbar from Aliexpress, and I'm quite happy with him. The whole School of Friendship line had abysmal distribution. Perhaps they'll show up at Five Below or Ollies in the next year, but I'm not holding my breath (they seem to be a dumping ground for poorly distributed sets nowadays).
Any hope they’ll make a sudden resurgence online, as with the last wave of pearly ponies a year or two back? T_T
I never saw the ones with Sandbar and Silverstream.

Even if that is a very, VERY ambitious statement, it certainly does show their commitment to the line. I would love to see some repro Sea Ponies with non-metal weights, lol.
