I like the heads on the Pegasus and Earth ponies better. Fluttershy in particular looks very sweet and gentle. The rearing poses remind me of a cross between the Firefly and Ice Skater posed ponies. I even like Twilight Sparkle and she's made me soooo mad with how often she's been packed in against my will.
To expand a little though I guess what I don't understand, especially with your price comparison, is that Hasbro went to the trouble of making these poses from scratch for this project, which must have cost a certain amount to do. So I wonder if they can't use the ones BF are using or don't want to for some reason (bearing in mind there's also the little Firefly and Glory floating around, and I know Firefly was unpopular but Glory was a pretty good miniature).

The open mouths confuse me a little bit. Not on the pegasus ponies, but on the earths. I guess they all have the same head..?

It was more so to say that these don't have a variety of poses because the cost for a mold is expensive. So 2 molds for 6 ponies at a lower price point wasn't that bad.But these are 3", so they can't use BF molds.
No. But they *could* have used the mini Glory or mini Firefly moulds...possibly? I am not actually sure how tall those are, not least because we don't measure in inches so much here now and my Glory is at home, not in London...but that would've worked and the pose already existed?
I am SO glad that they didn't use the mini Fakiefly mould for the Pegasus. My daughter had a Fakie earth pony that looked a lot like that. The pegs are my favorites here and the thin tails can be fixed.Someone on the TP said the faces look like Dollymix moulds.The legs are G3 all the way, being slimmer, more angled and having more defined joints.These are brand new moulds aren't they?

I don't care how weird and clunky and not-g1 these look, they're perfect to me. Plus, you have to admit, they did pretty accurately capture that stoned sleep deprived uh... peaceful look that g1s had in their eyes.

That their adventures are an acid induced fever dream? (I mean, I'm sure the comic writers were all dropping but...)
Dang! I want a Shady like this in all her neon eye sizzling glory.
Ohhh I'm sure you have some idea.
