I love them! Celestia's head looks gross, but I love them! Ooh, they have poses! Their heads are actually all kind of weird. I love them!!

Edit: I thought Lyra's pose looked familiar, and now I realize she's totally in the Mimic pose. That's wonderful

[shelvesofwhimsy]

These are so cute!!

[josiekat]

So would these be considered G4.5?

[Luxrayx]

So would these be considered G4.5?

I don't know about that. G3.5 was very different from G3,  while these are the same character models used in the show since the beginning... Maybe it's G4.3

[Snapdragon]

Woah!! That's a big change! Ironically, I feel like that's what the toyline maybe should have been from the start? They look a lot closer to the show characters, IMO! I like the dynamic poses, too!

[Leave a Whisper]

These are weird.

[legodrew]

Love them! Please just do not overwhelm us with main six variables!

[Aquatic Neon]

Wow I like them and the poses! Lyra is so cute! G4.5 has arrived! Please can we have more boy molds now?

[Mori_LeStrange]

Oh, I like these. I hope they are real.

Wow I like them and the poses! Lyra is so cute! G4.5 has arrived! Please can we have more boy molds now?

And can they please not have troll hair?

[Wardah]

I don't like how every slight change is a "NEW .5 GENERATION OMG!!!" If we did that with G1 the Sweetheart Sisters would have been G1.5.

Okay, I am really liking these. I guess this means I'll have to get a bunch of characters all over again.

[Violet CLM]

They all appear to be looking up all the time. And their limbs and bodies are really slender now for some reason.

[aluke]

Yeah, maybe I need to see them in person, but they look really off to me. I'll refrain from picking at the details that are throwing me off and be general. These look like scaled up 3rd party mini toys (like the kinders, fast food toys, busy book figures, etc.), and those were small cheap bonus like toys so you could kind of look past the imperfections.

I'm being honest when I say that while the standard lifeless pose of the G4s got stale fast, I genuinely loved the look and shape of them. they may not have matched the show style perfectly, but they were a great likeness and were super cute for being a three dimensional interpretation of a 2D style.

But hey, if people prefer these than what's my opinion matter? If this is a response from Hasbro that they are listening to complaints about how lazy they were getting with the G4 brushables, I'm all for it.

I like that the slender legs makes poses possible but I don't like that Celestia's leg and possibly Lyra's leg don't  look like they have the bones and everything in the right place.  It makes me feel like the designers need to do some more research on horse anatomy.  And something about the heads is throughing me off.  I think that I like the old heads better.    Or maybe it's just the unicorn eyes.  Maybe they need to redesign those.

But I like the possibility of more varied expressions.  And I really like the new poses.  But I really, really, REALLY hope that they make some new ponies as well, not just more of the same characters we are already glutted with.

I will also add that the hair just looks too real for fakies to me.  It looks like the right texture and the right color consistent to previous releases.  Though if they were going to try to make them look exactly like the show then Twilight's body and hair still isn't correct.
