Gen 5 news announced- setting sail for 2021 and new cast!

[Leave a Whisper]

Yeah, I had forgotten that new cast could simply be who voices the ponies, not the ponies themselves.

...Entirely irrelevant in my toycentric world of pony, but that's a depressing realisation.

Now thinking we're gonna get same ponies rehashed with sparkly new voice people instead.

That's a depressing thought.

What I'm excited for, just think, that we'll be seeing the "new" ponies definitely by February for Toy Fair! And probably sooner. We got our first look at the 2017 movie cast at Toy Fair, didn't we? At least that's what I remember... Skystar, Capper, Tempest, etc. When did we see the first trailer? I remember being so frustrated because it felt like it took forever to come out, I was anxious to see if it was 2D tween animation or 3D.

i can guess why...
But even so, this does not make me happy.
Wish they could have done it virtually, somehow.

Pops head in.
Achoo! Sniff, excuse me, it's a bit dusty. Smells a bit like HasCon did.
No mention of Pony and seems to be very..."boy toy" focused (a whole issue I have with Hasbropulse), but is sooner than the licensing festival and may have a crumb of something.

k

The Crossovers just scream Con Exclusive. Breyerfest had their exclusives easily available online as well this year. Hasbro has been putting out crossover TFs as well.that also scream Con exclusives. Wouldn't surprise me if they did one for their new GI Joe line.

-hands you a hankie-
Maybe pony is in the “and more” part?

That sucks. I mean, yeah, it makes sense, but it always happens around my birthday, which means there's always some exciting news online around then. Last year I think it was actually over the weekend of my birthday. Maybe they will organise some digital thing instead because the businesses will still want to sell product to the screaming masses.

...But I suppose it also depends how events go with the virus.

I should add that there's normally a London fair in Jan (which may have also been cancelled, it may well be held at one of the places the govt has had repurposed for field hospitals, albeit they're not currently in use for that...who knows in the winter). That's generally the first clue to things, with NY giving the meat on the bones.

Pulse Con is going to be a virtual convention, right?  Or is the special con exclusive going to be Covid-19?

It's virtual!

But I thought Pony was for boys now, too! Hasbro must be sitting on mountains of Pinkie Pies, they could just melt some together and sell the result

Something about that reminded me of the amalgamated Rimmer monster from Red Dwarf caused by a 3d printer jam...
The horror of a multiheadded multilimbed pink blob shrieking about parties is something that will be hard to rinse from the brain...

[Snapdragon]

Yeah, "Festival of Licensing" is just a very funny name to me.    This year it's online so I guess they will have to drink alone at home while they make Zoom calls.

I legitimately assumed you must be making a silly joke, referencing a frilly pony event. It's a real thing?! That's incredible!!

[Fizzy Scrumptious]

Ooooh I'm so excited! I also hope that they'll be an all-new cast.

I don't collect g4 and I don't really mind the existence of "brony" fans (when it comes to wholesome fandom), so I don't really have a gripe with the mane-6 - I guess because MLP:FiM was what introduced me to MLP, so this gen's always been about the show for me. But I would love a new gen to return to being collectible based on individual pony designs instead of established characters. Since Hasbro had so much success with a "central cast" in the past, though, who knows?

Either way, I can't wait to see new designs!!

  No thanks. Do not want.
