I don't see ponies without brushable hair as "real" MLP and I can't get excited for them.  :cloud:

I also feel like brushy hair is a key feature <3
Definitely! I can't imagine MLP without actual hair. Being able to brush and style is a big part of collecting, personally :heart:

Meanwhile I sit here reading this wondering this opinion is unpopular??? When Ponies as hair-play toys has been a thing for so long every generation had a salon/ grooming parlour/ spa (sometimes all of them). Mind. Boggles.

I don't think it's unpopular in our neck of the woods, but with all the funko and other figures G4 has put out, the emphasis has maybe not been as much on brushy as in previous gens.

*whispers* I quite like moulded hair ponies  :blush:
You can take them out and about on adventures without messing their hair up! But brushable hair is fun too.

Same! Not unpopular at all. Although I am kind of wishing they made some small molded-haired versions of G1 ponies I could make into Christmas tree ornaments...those Hallmark ones are cute, but so dang expensive.

The only time I personally am ok with molded hair is on tiny ones like the G1 Petites or Ponyvilles. Tho them actually having some hair was always a bonus and one of my many postponed projects was giving Ponyvilles hair tails.

I kind of like them for customs sometimes just because then I can give them whatever hair colors I want without being restricted by hair colors I have since I can mix whatever color I want with paint.  Dyes are a little trickier for me to get right and it doesn't always take the way I want it to. 

But there is something so beautifully soothing about running my fingers through the soft brushable hair of a pony that I'd be genuinely disappointed if they went with molded hair on everything.

I don't mind the occasional moulded hair pony. I have a couple blindbag sized toys, a tiny book sweetie belle that i got to customize, and 2 loyal subjects ponies. I plan on getting some of the crossovers.

I like molded hair for sidelines, like Ponyville and blind bags, but for the 'main' line of each gen - brushable hair all the way, I say. :D

I would love molded-hair versions of ponies from the G1 cartoon!

Guess you could customize the crossovers. Plasmane is practically Shady anyway.
