Just from the designs, it feels like it goes against the original character theme of the show- that every girl is different! Putting every single one of them in a skirt and makeup seems to miss that point.

I agree. They're all too similar. :/ So much for "there's lots of different ways to be a girl"...

Well, let's not forget that the bodytype of most ponies is the same too...The only thing that really makes them different is their hair and personality. I remember something about Faust wanting to make Pinkie Pie a bit chubbier but that didn't happen either.
Sorry, but...that is just terrible...If they were normal-skin tones, I might could get it a little better, but just--they--they're ponies! *headdesk*
Tropical Sunset, yes! All of what you said. And you know, there -are- different body types in the show, but more seen in the boy ponies. What about Mrs. Cake and Granny Smith and Babs Seed? Twist is kinda the same body type, but a little different. The variety made them seem more endearing.
I knew that they would be people -_-
and i dont like it so I think I will stop watching. :sad:
They are either antro ponies, or they are girls. not both. I would prefer the pony elements be ditched all together. The outfits do need work. they aren't very individualized to each character.
I'm actually pretty interested to see how this goes.
As far as the dresses go, maybe we'll see more of a variety in their outfits as the series/toy line progresses? If they're going to try and keep up with the other popular playline fashion dolls at the moment, they're going to have to opt for more variety. I can't imagine that all we're going to get out of this is miniskirts.
If these were made to compete with Monster High, then please God, let the dolls be articulated. Nothing would disappoint me more of they were static with no joints. :C

I'd buy one of Rarity regardless because she is my fav FiM character, but if they arent articulated like with other doll lines, I wouldn't get any more of them. In a way, articulation can be a bit of a deal breaker for me when it comes to [fashion] dolls, excluding special edition dolls or for certain doll lines.
That's horrifying.This.
I'm pretty sure that with Faust's influence, this whole thing would've worked out much, much, MUCH better.
If they can pull it off, this is a really smart move imo.
Fashion dolls are a market in which Hasbro currently has nothing to offer. They have nothing to compete with the likes of Monster High and Bratz, the former of which is doing pretty well in a world where toys are rapidly losing the fight against video games and electronics. Not only that, but they are geared towards a slightly older target. Little girls who fell in love with these six characters have a higher chance of staying loyal to the brand as they move from brushable ponies to collectible dolls. They won't have to lose these friends they have come to know, just see them in a new way--and, at that age, a way they will be able to relate to more--and Hasbro can keep their business for a few more years.
I'm pretty sure that with Faust's influence, this whole thing would've worked out much, much, MUCH better.
I'm pretty sure if Lauren had a say, this trainwreck would have never made it off the drawing board.

Well, Hasbro could always try rebooting "Jem", and give it a slight makeover to make it more modern. Hasbro still has rights to "Jem", right? If so, I don't see why they shouldn't give it a try - Transformers, G.I. Joe and MLP are a great proof that you can take a franchise that's almost thirty years old and still make it popular. So what's stopping them from doing just that with "Jem"? It would work out better than Equestria Girls.
But, whatever...

All I'll say on this is that I'm going to give it a chance, but the designs look painfully boring and generic pretty anime-girl looking to me. Just looking at Applejack, I cannot imagine her voice on that character design, it just doesn't say "Applejack" to me. I hope they make some adjustments to these character designs before they decide to do anything with them.
Also, if this is the 30th anniversary celebration of pony, I am going to be very disappointed.

Nothing personal, you guys, but this Faust worship needs to stop. This brand is owned by Hasbro and Hasbro decides what happens to the brand. Faust successfully revamped what has already been there to begin with, she didn't come up with the idea of MLP on her own and then got ripped off by Hasbro. Also, she left on her own, she wasn't kicked out or anything.
Why not just wait and see what this new franchise will be abaout instead of declaring it a massive fail just because it was obviously designed to compete with other toy company's material.
...
PS: Femmephobia is disgusting. Just because this will be most likely set in a school doesn't mean that it is going to be only about "omg drama drama, I like a boy, I am too fat" subjects.
Relax, give it a chance. If it turns out to be sucky you still have enough time to hate on it *fg*
Also, I personally don't like the style of the designs which says nothing about them objectively, but the designers also really failed to implement the personality of the characters into the designs. You can't just use colours and cutie mark tattoos to get across the idea that this is X character. For example, Rarity has the plainest outfit of them all, yet she's the fashionista. They couldn't jazz her up a bit with a scarf or cool jewellery? And why no pants? There is absolutely nothing wrong with skirts, but in a group of 6 very different girls, RD and AJ are probably going to be pant/short wearers (and I don't buy the "but a uniform" idea since they obviously aren't wearing the same styles). Or then there's the fact that all the outfits are very similar. Why can't one be wearing a longer skirt and shoes? I won't write off the show entirely, but I am certainly going in very hesitant since I am not liking what I am seeing.
Also, if this is the 30th anniversary celebration of pony, I am going to be very disappointed.
They're definitely very "safe", but I can't entirely blame Hasbro for going that road, and keeping them simple and all close to the same look for the first run of the line. Even Mattel wasn't super out there, relatively speaking, with the first MH dolls. And I think I feel like they're rather schoolgirl-uniform-esque not because they are uniforms but rather because the similar skirt + shirt + boots shape unifies the line, while leaving room for personalizing each character (a little). I certainly agree they could've done lots more--but I do like what there is (Fluttershy's puffy skirt, RD's sneaker-boots, Rarity's sleeker-chic A-line skirt plus belt, Applejack's denim). It'll be really interesting to see how the art translates into actual dolls, and whether what character-specific details there are, will be prominent.
I also forgot that they will probably have different outfits to buy, and hopefully there will be outfit changes in the show (although I would understand if not--there rarely are in cartoons. They do have a fashion designer among them, though).
Ya know, I love MH, and if these dolls are anything like MH in terms of being ball-jointed and having new characters, I may be interested. But I don't these to be THE new MLP, ya know? I want ponies to still be made.....new characters mainly. But I cannot lie.....I think they will make pretty dolls if done right. But I don't want this to be the only MLP line left.

Because FiM is "in" and already has a strong fanbase with the younger/teenage crowd. I don't think Gem has that. (I never watched Gem myself but...isn't it like very, very eighties?)
This is taking the Last Unicorn theme to the extreme. I guess the ponies are going to run into Schmendrick and in a terrifying fight with the Red Bull Schmendrick turns the main 6 into humans and sends them to earth or...something like that (hehe).
DO NOT WANT. :mad:
DO NOT WANT. :mad:
Definitely not. Horrifying.
I'd like to see them in person!

Why do you think Hasbro keeps on re-inventing MLP instead of letting it die off? To make money. Pushing the brand into a new territory was inevitable.
But...but I like *ponies*... I hope they don't completely abandon FiM and the G4 style.

There is already an entire fourth season being produced. There is nothing that indicates that Equestria Girls will replace FIM in any way. If anything, this spin off shows that G4/FIM is doing really well. (Making this freak out look even more silly.) Ponies aren't gone, this is just a little extra.
I will give it exactly one episode. But if they don't meet a little blond girl in school by the name of Megan that becomes one of the gang by the end of the episode, I am done with it. I want to see Megan if this is what they are doing to celebrate 30 years of MLP.My group is working on that kind of 30th anniversary tribute.

I agree, LadyMoondancer (although there's quite a few boots and miniskirts in the first MH line too ;)) I feel like Monster High is aimed at a slightly older audience than the Equestria Girls, though? (Although I know MH has lots of under-8ish fans too, of course.) Have we seen anything that says what EG's target age group is? To me it seems like it'll closer to the Lalaloopsy age group, a bit older, but not as old as MH. Maybe similar to Disney Fairies' audience?Ya know, I love MH, and if these dolls are anything like MH in terms of being ball-jointed and having new characters, I may be interested.

I don't think it will be (I hope it won't be)... I bet there'll always be demand for cute pony toys :biggrin:
Which is a shame, I always liked the anthro pony art that has Pinkie as short and chubby (goes well with bouncey) and Rarity as tall and elegant.

Am I missing something here? Her hair looks perfectly normal to me...
ecit: Oh, I see, the tail isn't actually separate for any of them it's supposed to just be an extension of their hair? weird. I Mean if they have ears, and wings... why not just give them tails?
Eww! What the heck is Hasbro doing to MLP now!???because she is now an alicorn and they feel the need for them to have just wings and no horns O.o
I also need to know why Twilight has giant wings..?

While the original Jem is rather dated going from the reruns they were airing on the Hub, the basic concept isn't. I mean what about a girl who is secretly a pop star couldn't work now? They might have to age her down since it seems cartoons about adult characters aren't popular anymore but her age was never an important part of who she was. Hannah Montana had a similar premise to what I think a modern remake of Jem would probably be like.

Thanks, hathorcat! Hmm, I would not have guessed that at all. They'd best pay serious attention to the execution and detailing, then, if they're setting themselves up to compete directly with MH for the older crowd's attention. Like lots of others have said, the current look of the designs falls short in direct comparison because of the simplicity.
Basically, my 8 year old self is squeeing, but my 12 year old self would not be swayed from MH. Fortunately, my mid-20s self does not have to choose, and can love and have both! XD
If the show is going to be a typical high-school scenario, you can count me out.
Just turning them into humans doesn't make the show teen or adult.
In my opinion Hasbro wants to make this because all the fandom.
I have saw a lot of fan´s drawings of humanized ponies.
So, Hasbro thought, "if they like to draw this, they would love human dolls inspired in the ponies"
Now we don´t like this (I included, I love ponies, the new show scares me, if they decide to make only EG the next years?? I want pony toys!!), but I know that 90 % of the fans will buy dolls of their favourite characters when they are on sale :lol: :P
Also, do they actually still have tails or do they just have reeeeally long hair? I can't tell from that promo pic. Some of them seem separate (Rainbow Dash, for example) but then others look like one big joined-up swath of hair (like Applejack.) And why wings and ears but no horns? My ancient Glory does not approve.
Maybe they totally plan for Pinkie to be dealing "candy" behind the bleachers.
Oh, no, I'm not saying such shows are bad, just that they're not my cup of tea! I apologize if I came off as if talking down about teen dramas.
All the teenage scenario's I've witnessed over the years in cartoons and/or tv programs eventually deal with things like dating/boyfriends/proms/drugs/bullying/sex, etc. etc. Nothing wrong with having good stories about those subjects just saying that is the reality.

Seems to me like a remake of Mew Mew Power
Seems to me like a remake of Mew Mew Power
Now that you mention it... you're right. It's like Tokyo Mew Mew/Mew Mew Power, but in reverse! In stead of going from human to animals, their animals turning into humans. Now if the EG have super powers they use to save the world like the Mew Mews do... THEN I might watch it.

I'll be happy if they go with a Blythe-style look to it (like the Neo-blythes.)
Hasbro does own the Blythe line now, so it's not a bad outlook onto it.

That seems like a reasonable possibility! Whatever they do- I am curious as to the outcome. Wonder when we'll see them?
I'm probably in the minority here, but I think they're cute. There are a few things I would change though:totally agree with you here!
-Outfits are too similar. Variety needed, especially in Rarity's department. We all know that she doesn't do everyday fashion. Then again, there's also a possibility that the clothes style is following a uniform policy...
-If wings are there, horns need to be too. Massive "duh!" there.
-Lipstick. Get rid of it. It isn't doing them any favors (especially not Rainbow Dash or Applejack) and not all girls are into that crap.
Otherwise, very cute. It will never, ever replace ponies in my heart but I am interested to see where it will go.

Making a logo is pretty tough work actually...
I agree that the logo seems to solidify that the Equestria Girls really are just a spin off and entirely unrelated to MLP. You'd think that would calm everyone down, but I doubt it will.
I'm interested to see what they look like. I'll reserve judgement until I've seen them. They have potential to be cute though!I wonder if Katy Perry will sing the theme song?
*shudder* I hope not. She just drives me bonkers.
:blink: Weeell that's surprising, but you never know... toys companies seems utterly incapable to make dolls exactly like their concept art, for better or worse. The actual dolls may turn out very cute.
For the record, I think keeping their colors looks strange but it's the right thing to do - there's no other way to avoid the huge potential problem of who-is-what race and all. And I think everyone agrees the outfits could use some improvements.
What I do worry about is the show that's supposed to come out of this. It's going to be hard to make something interesting out a school kid setting, it's sooooo common... I follow the webisodes of MH, Bratzillas and Novi Stars and I cringe at the obsession with fashion and boys. It's boring AND poor values for the kids. At least the Lalaloopsy series seems to stay away from this, but they aren't entertaining...
Which makes me think, do we know if it's supposed to be an actual TV series or just little 2-3 minutes webisodes thing?
The latest rumor is Spike will be a dog. There are also picture of canine Spike floating around.
This is all a rumor, but rumors have had a high validation rate for MLP lately.

I bet the movie will be CGI characters and look a lot like the Strawberry Shortcake movies...Fortunately Moonscoop seems to only work on American Greeting properties. Unless this is going to be a joint venture between Hasbro and American Greeting. My mind just went to have a very dark place just now.

I dunno, I kinda like Spike-dog! He's pretty cute :3i think spike looks cute.
I'm trying really hard to be optimistic about this, haha. I've learned by now that if I diss something before I see it, I might miss out! After all, without FiM, I wouldn't have grown an interest for MLP in general c:
Also heard that Princess Celestia is going to be Principal Celestia.What about Luna and Cadence?
Does that mean they will stop MLP Line? No more ponies?Equestria Girls is a Spin-Off, not a re-imagening. It's just a second franchise that is based on the FiM characters. That means ponies will live on. They're two separate things.
Also heard that Princess Celestia is going to be Principal Celestia.What about Luna and Cadence?
The more I learn about Equestria Girls, the more it seems like one giant trollfest from Hasbro to us. XDI know right. It just seems to begetting weirder and weirder. I wish it would just be out already so we can know what it's really about.
Really, if Hasbro is doing this to compete with Mattel's Monster High they would be better off bringing back Jem with a new cartoon. They could easily make the old characters 15-16 year old girls, which would appeal to tweens and young teens. The Jem characters would also be easier to make edgier and more fashion and music- based, which again appeals to tweens and teens. There could be the different hair colors and bold makeup that the original dolls had, they could have jointed bodies, different lines with different hair and makeup and themes and fashion packs. Also, 80s inspired fashion seems popular with girls in this age group, Justice is full of leggings, skinny jeans, big sloppy shirts and neon colors. Hasbro also needs to consider that their going to be going up against Novi Stars and Bratzillas too. For some reason, I don't think Equestria Girls is going to go over well, especially if they have such plain fashions, similar hair styles and if the dolls have non-jointed old school Barbie doll type bodies.
I was just thinking the same thing about Jem! It's already all about fashion, with the added bonus that it's about celebrities and rock stars! Just change her wardrobe to whatever is hippest right now.
