Title: G4 : Blind Bag Sculpts v Brushable Sculpts
Post by: BigBrotherPony on April 26, 2012, 01:51:59 PM
Hello everypony,

I was just wondering what everyone elses thoughts are on which sculpts they prefer in the G4 line, either the ones for Brushable ponies or Blind Bag ponies?

Personally I prefer the Blind Bag ponies as there is a wider variety of poses and I feel they are more show accurate ( except of course Fluttershy who Hasbro have pretty much forgotten about).

I also love the Blind bag boys, while I wouldn't describe them as show accurate I do think they are actually cuter than the show characters . It really took me a while to get used to the art dirrection of the boy ponies in the show as their eyes seemed too low down to me.

So it's a big thumbs up for blind bag ponies for me!

And a here's hoping we get some new Brushable poses sometime soon.

BBP

I like the poses of the blind bags much more! There's pretty much no diversity among the brushables. I do really like the new mould they've made for Cadence, so I hope they make use of it.

What they need to do is take the Blind Bag ponies, blow their sizes up or implement their poses to Brushable sizes without the molded manes. That way we get the best of both worlds. XP

I prefer the blind bag poses, I wish they'd do something new with the brushables already.

Isn't this a bit of an unfair battle? XD The brushable ones only have two poses.
Not counting poses, i prefer the brushable ones. I feel the blindbag ones sometimes have a bit of a small head.

This for me! I just feel as though the blind bags are much cuter and more imaginative in style...its not so much if the are "show accurate" its just that the poses are better....the rearing Fluttershy like G1 Trulys pose, the Pinkie Pie side on pose like G1 Love Melody...and so on!

I would love to have a brushable of BB Rarity's pose! (on a side note... I am also thinking a folded wing pegasus would be adorable!)

As far as poses go I like the McDonald's ones the best really.

For brushables I'm a little torn. Having unique poses for new ponies I don't mind at all but I've already inadvertently ended up with "hoof up" versions of everyone but I think AJ through buying playsets that I pretty much consider doubles (or kind of secondary in my collection) but can't bring myself to get rid of in case I happen to prefer that pose for a photo. So I guess new poses are nice for photos but not for collecting/display.

Blind bag poses are cool but I actually wish they had more variety at least in hairstyles since there are so many characters and only 5 hairstyles and yeah poor Fluttershy... (I haven't gotten any boys yet but they are adorable and am really excited over the alicorn sculpt)

I like the variety of poses the blind bag ponies come in but in general I prefer the brushables. I do love the blind bag PP though because I feel her hairstyle is the hardest to capture in brushable-form (the brushable-size molded hair PP is the best though). I've seen many valiant attempts by fans to recreate her hair from the show but rarely do they look that great, IMO.

I prefer the blind bags because:
1. I cannot style pony hair to save my life
2. No head-body mismatch (which gets worse when stored in darkness!)
3. Lots more variety (poses, colors, and hair styles)
4. Easier to display, store, etc. lots of them

This is really what I want, too.  I don't collect the blind bag ponies because a)  I don't usually shop at TRU or Walmart and b)  I want my ponies to have hair.  :P  Sorrry, but I don't collect molded hair ponies; I want to be able to play with their hair.  And I really don't like toys that are that tiny.  I'd rather have full-sized ponies in a variety of characters and molds/poses.

I prefer the regular brushable sized ones, but I would like them to release more with molded hair. Brushable hair can be such a pain in the butt. I do agree that a pegasus with folded wings would be adorable... if done right. I'd want!

Scarlet you basically just listed my exact same reasons why I prefer the brushables!  :lol: Except for the not shopping at TRU or walmart part. X3 I like ponies with real brushable hair, are full sized and (hopefully in the future) have all kinds of poses and variety in characters.

The blind bag ponies are too tiny for me to enjoy. I gave the blind bag ponies a chance, they're cute and all but they're too tiny for me to fully enjoy. Nothing to do with them but move them around. Can't turn their heads, or even brush their manes!

I prefer blind bags poses, because of their wider variety.
The rearing poses are amazing!!!!

I pick the brushables, because you can give new styles to them.

I prefer the brushables. From my stand point as a customizer I have more to work with as far as hair and and creativity. Blind Bags are too small for me to work with and while I like them, I don't really care for molded hair... esp. since er... all of them have to follow a pose's hairstyle xD I don't care for show accuracy either (I don't like a lot of the hair styles anyway XD)

So brushables all the way despite lack of poses :)

The blind bag poses are great... for blind bags. I don't think I would like them in brushable size.
Although I think they should do a few brushables in rearing poses, like they did with the G1s. That would be cute  ^.^

I don't really even see this is a valid comparison. It's like apples and oranges.

Blind bags, for their wide variety and boys!

I voted blind bags because although I actually prefer the size of the brushables, and the fact that they are actually brushable, I want my brushables to have more variety in character and pose.

So, Hasbro. If you want to re-release the mane 6 (again) please do so in an alternate pose at the very least! and we need all the BB characters as brushables. Please.
