Yeah, I definitely agree they should have either made a completely new mold for her, or just not made her. She looks ridiculous in Celestia's mold. I was also disappointed in the first Luna they made because not only was she in the wrong color, she was just made using the normal pony mold which made her eyes look really strange. The new mold they use for her is so much better.
Oh, I forgot about DJ P0N-3. I skipped getting her because of her painted on sunglasses. Besides looking cheap, they didn't even fully cover the eye indents.
I'm also kind of disappointed in the blind bags, both with the quality and the lack of molds.
I'm fairly disappointed in Crysalis as well. Just... come on, Hasbro. :huh:Those two. DJ Pon3 was the worst because I didn't know about it until I bought the box. :cry:
I still might get the set though, just because I'm a completist.
DJ Pon3 was also pretty sad since they didn't even bother giving her different eye molds. Just a printed-on pair of glasses. It's so painfully obvious and looks terrible.
So... something totally different. Wich G4 MLP Toy do you really DON'T like? I have to go with this one:

Queen Chrysalis always had been one of my Favourite MLP Characters. And when I saw that she got her own brushable. I almost fainted.
I was sure she were about to look great. But then... when I saw her... man. Where do I start.
Well the good thing is her eye and color. But thats it. They just recycled the same mold from Celestia and NMM. No unique horn nope. The horn is just the standard one with a sticker slapped on it, great... the legs are the same, even the friggin shoes are still visible, and the holes are just stickers, come on how much is drilling? Then her wings, well.. they are blue and transparant but thats about it, same wing mold. Great... :really: The part were she has in the show that beauitifull gradient (part where her wings are attached to_ here.. just plain green. No Gradient. And then. We miss quite a big thing: Her Crown, but without the crown she isnt a queen.
Hasbro really disappointed me with this toy, Im note sure If I will get her, perhaps I will customise her. But for now I have to go with her Blind Bag. I would like to hear your opinions on your least favourite/Most disappointing G4 merch. ;)
Doesn't 'merch' mean anything that ISN'T the main toys? :/
Yea all of these are pretty disappointing...Ill only get Chrysalis if that's what I gotta do to get the brushable "Bubbles". But Ill add one more pony to the list the Princess Twicorn that comes with the new castle part. I love the castle but that Twilight looks awful! I dont get why they changed the horn mold, and the wings look like a 3year old drew the shape. Body is ok but its clunky and don´t look very elegant at all. -10 points Hasbro!
(What's next - slap a donkey head on a Celestia mould and call it Discord? No thanks.)
Well, we don't find so much actual merch up here, but of the toys-merch, I've got to say Fluttershy's blindbag. :argh: Until I actually hold the new-show-accurate mould in my hot little hooves, that's my biggest pet peeve.I forgot about that Fluttershy, that really annoyed me.
Chrysalis is worse than I thought. I never bothered to actually study her before and, yes, she does look dreadful. Still not as bad as the new large Alicorn Twilight.That's horrifying. Surely they could do much better?

Anybody have a match and some gasoline? (I'll be honest though, when I was little, I would have loved this toy to bits. It was drilled into my head to love anything pink/purple and ponyish, whether or not the quality was actually there.)

Still not as bad as the new large Alicorn Twilight.How could I have forgotten about that Twilight. xD Something about her raised leg irks me to to end, and I sorta feel she's too "thin" (if that made sense). I kinda think she's cute, but that could be because I have a soft spot for TS in general.

I do feel that some of the Brony merch look cheap/tacky and lazy because of them putting "brony" on it. D:If we can't say "the entire G4 line" (the ponies are so cheap and I hate it), I'm gonna have to go with all the nice merch being plastered with "brony".

Agreed. It was cool at first because being a brony was something new for everyone and the brony merch was minimal, but now it's everywhere and a lot of the new clothes and stuff still have "Brony" written on them. And it's almost always with just Rainbow Dash. Not interested, thanks.That's how I was. I thought it was cute/cool when it first came out, but now it's getting to be a bit much. I know it sells, but I feel they should "tone it down". There are shirts, wallets, hats, backpacks/bags, ect., with "brony" on it now, and I await the day that they'll actually be a MLP:FiM pony toy with the word "brony" on it, or as a cutie mark. xD

WOW! I did not know that she was that boring looking :( I am still going to get the set, but sucks :(
I think the "jumping the shark moment" for me with the brony merch is when I saw the Pinkie Pie "Come At Me, Brony" shirt at Hot Topic a few days ago. ^^;
The most disappointing thing for me so far are the blind bag size three-packs. I love that they spent time on the specialty molds but the paint jobs are some of the worst yet. The Cadance I ended up with was particularly sloppy and it was then I decide to spend my money on brushables only.I'd chalk that up to individual variation. I've got all the three-packs that have been released so far, and they're all perfect.
Echoing that blind bag Fluttershy needs her own mold and not all merch needs to have "brony" on it to be awesome.She has one. (http://derpicdn.net/thumbs/1300/700/2013/03/26/03_02_01_531_279658__UNOPT__safe_fluttershy_toy_figure_515106097f123b568700002f.jpg) Coming later this year.

Considering how RD is basically the "brony pony" for FiM (that doesn't have bubbles [or balloons, on occasion] as her cutie mark), I'm not surprised she's on 80%+ of the merchandise. But yes, I do feel that other ponies should at least get some brony merch attention.

I like the toys for what they are, however I wish they'd drop blind bags for brushables again for a little bit. Honestly with the blind bags being $2.50 (walmart here raised prices) to $5 at hot topic (bah too much $!!) I would much rather have a playful pony with a head that turns and hair for a similar $5 price point. :( blind bags are just too pricey anymore when they use the same shape over and over. I will maybe get a few of the unique blind bags but am definitely done with the rest.this
Done with mane 6 being replaced constantly too with a lack of new characters being made alongside them.
For me it's a tie between DJ-Pon-3 (her eye shape...they couldn't have just make the shades match the unicorn eyes mold?) and the Shadowbolt Raindow Dash. Really. Hasbro - did you just ahve to make yet another RD figure, even if she's in a costume. They should have just made it a normal Shadowbolt. ;_;
Don't forget "Too Many Pinkie Pies" XDFor me it's a tie between DJ-Pon-3 (her eye shape...they couldn't have just make the shades match the unicorn eyes mold?) and the Shadowbolt Raindow Dash.

Oh my goodness, THIS! I'm so sick of Rainbow Dash in everything!! It's getting so old for a not that amazing character in my opinion.
