Title: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Summer-blade on February 07, 2012, 04:34:23 PM: in each gen of ponies we get those weird little ponies that end up being really cool like the color swirls and sented ponies of G1, and the ones that kinda flop like the BBE babies *shiver*

What would you bring back for the G4 line, Sea ponies? Flutters? Winggers? So softs? pony friends? or something really new and different.

Post by: xSexyWafflesx on February 07, 2012, 04:42:46 PM: So softs or flutters would be nice!

These are wingers. They are smaller, like the size of babies and have larger colorful butterfly wings. They are so beautiful!!

Post by: Pokestine on February 07, 2012, 05:02:45 PM: hmm how about Happy Tail ponies? They're so weird I love them.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Eviecorn on February 07, 2012, 05:06:07 PM: TAF, sparkle and glow n' show (esp. as Fashion Style size) and color swirls are my votes!
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Juri on February 07, 2012, 05:11:59 PM: Another vote for Glow n Show ponies, I love things that glow in the dark :)

Post by: SourdoughStomper on February 07, 2012, 05:32:15 PM: I like scented ponies. :)
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Taxel on February 07, 2012, 05:42:19 PM: I want seaponies. I'd buy them all.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Starbright on February 07, 2012, 05:44:23 PM: Something with a surprise cutie mark! Like they're covered in the package and you don't know what it is till you open it. It would fit really well with the G4 idea of getting cutie marks as young adults. Though I guess that means we won't get any babies with symbols, too.

Maybe we could get a baby with this idea? Seeing that they do get them as fillies in the show.

I forget where I got the idea, but I think it would be fun if some of the young ponies were bundled with a small art kit or sticker set, to allow you to choose what cutie mark each pony receives. Re-enact the events of "The Cutie Pox" if you want! :lol:
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 on February 07, 2012, 06:10:37 PM: I'd love to see TAF, TE, and 3d cutie marks, personally.

That's a cute idea. :)

I'd love to see so softs, scented or super long hairs again (although it might be difficult to do a SLH when the pony is so tiny.)

Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: oddish on February 08, 2012, 06:24:14 AM: Twice As Fancy ponies, flutters, wingers, and newborns.

Also... merponies. Friendship is Magic has been featuring a lot of mythological creatures (even really obscure ones) so it's become a pet theory of mine that they'll eventually meet a hippocampus. In other words, merponies! I just love the idea of them actually being referred to as hippocampi and then getting toys of them~
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Icecrystalline on February 08, 2012, 06:43:29 AM: Wingers and seaponies. But to be fair I like them just the way they are already!
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: apanda0622 on February 08, 2012, 07:15:44 AM: I think sea ponies would fit well with the G4 line, Also, newborns/twins in G4 form.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: littlexflitter on February 08, 2012, 07:23:25 AM: I really want sparkle and glow 'n show ponies in G4 form.

I would DIE for so softs. I know they're not very popular but I love them. I would probably buy duplicates.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: toralei on February 08, 2012, 07:37:58 AM: Another thing for the surprise cutie mark idea, don't know if this is possible but w/e

Have the hair color randomized. This way it makes each of the ponies more unique, and it saves on cost for Hasbro- essentially they could just use the leftover hair from other ponies?

This sounds kind of dumb but whatever
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: aellos on February 08, 2012, 07:39:58 AM: Don't we already have flutter ponies in G4 now? or are those something else?

I want scented ponies.
Or twinkle eyed.

EDIT:

Ooooh, the Twice as Fancy was one I was thinking about- the ones with bigger, more fancier cutiemarks YES PLEASE.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Lady.Arachnia on February 08, 2012, 08:01:22 AM: TAF, TE, Flutters, Animal Friends and Sea Ponies!

Forget to add, Pony Wear!
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Lon-san on February 08, 2012, 08:13:41 AM: *Scented Ponies. Apple-scented Applejack? Delish. They used it in G3 as well so it's more likely then some of the G1 gimmicks.
*Pony Friends. I....I want a moose like Oakley.
*And YEAH PONY WEAR. It would be harder to do on a small scale if it's for brushables so maybe some of pieces could be flexible plastic? And shoes. They already have a slipper mold for both foals and adults so they could do more with it and then expand.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Squirrelypaws on February 08, 2012, 08:21:32 AM: Although I've never actually seen one, the Glow-and-Show ponies seem like an interesting concept and I'm all for glow-in-the-dark stuff. So those would be cool to see. So would TaF and SS.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: keikokukien on February 08, 2012, 08:24:08 AM: As far as what's been done, I'd deffinately go with show n' glow, wingers (though I think Hasbro is classifying the butterfly wing G4s as wingers...they aren't, but they might be justifying them as such), and perfume puff...I love scented toys (that's so weird to admit out loud...), stickers, ect. Something about that is a novelty to me. :3

Something else nice to see would be a fashion style pony with the "growable" hair. I remember having barbies and other toys that you could buy extensions for or that you could manually pull or retract their hair....Kinda don't see that much anymore.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: hathorcat on February 08, 2012, 09:37:10 AM: Oh great topic!!

I would say "babies with symbols"...."blank flanks" is going to get tiresome...

Also so softs....snuzzly ponies would be great - or twice as fancies!
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Rachel-Eyes on February 08, 2012, 10:01:35 AM: I would buy all the G4 sea ponies quicker than you can say "sea ponies." I think their cute little faces are very seahorse-like anyway, and I think they would look great! Glow N Shows would be very cool too, and I'd love Perfume Puffs too! I don't think PP would be very appealing to today's kids though, honestly, but they would still be very cool to see.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Sora on February 08, 2012, 10:04:40 AM: I want sea ponies badly. I love them to pieces, and it would be nice if we could see something like that in G4.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: VanillaBean on February 08, 2012, 10:06:58 AM: Happiness is a soft, fuzzy pony coated in flocking. :lol:
I don't think it would work out as well as the G1s, but it would be interesting to see.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: toralei on February 08, 2012, 10:32:43 AM: I was thinking (again) about this topic and had an idea!

What if the rereleases of the mane 6 were done in these sorts of styles, if Hasbro was unsure about how they'd do? It would be a way to refresh the core group while still having releases out (as Hasbro loves to have them available) and would bring fun new things to the table.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Flitter on February 08, 2012, 11:00:58 AM: I think translucent ponies like the sparkly and glowing ones might be fun. ;)
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Varkolak on February 08, 2012, 11:09:18 AM: twinkle eyes and sea ponies!!
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Gingerbread on February 08, 2012, 11:11:08 AM: TAFs and G&S ponies! They would be awesome beyond awesome...
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Calico_Star on February 08, 2012, 11:40:48 AM: Glow n' shows and sparkle ponies! I love sparkly/glowing things! I was thinking just yesterday how its a shame the newer generations of ponies haven't had any cool new features like some of the G1s had. I'd also love to see wingers and seaponies. Seaponies would be just precious, and wingers would be adorable since the G4s are so small anyway, I think they'd fit the line really well :)

Omg yes, and echoing someone else's idea of pony friends!!
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: SkyCakes on February 08, 2012, 11:45:59 AM: I like to add, bring back the merry go rounds! I think a set of those as G4s would sell. Bring back the family sets! I'm sure everyone would snatch up the families. I love a full set of rainbow ponies that would be neat instead of just rainbow dash no offense. I would also add lots and lots of baby ponies instead of just 4-5.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Griffin on February 08, 2012, 12:55:43 PM: I'd love something with super long hair... either the G3-like SLH ponies or even better, something like the G1 BnG set or Candy Cane type curled hair. <3 TAF designs are always fun, and I second the family idea, too. I'd also like to see some leg gradients etc. like some of the G3 ponies have.
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: emera_lazzaly on February 08, 2012, 12:59:17 PM: I would love glow in the dark or sparkle ponies! And twinkle eyes!
Title: Re: Bringing back Ideas
Post by: Tropical_Sunset on February 08, 2012, 01:00:28 PM: Ooooh, I was just thinking about this very thing today!

I'd love to see G4 sparkle ponies (translucent with glitter in the plastic).
Twice as fancy (symbols and designs all over).
Scented.

I think those are my top three picks. <3
Some really good ideas on here!
