So, my friend sent me this picture on Facebook, he has no idea if they or legit or not, so putting a fake warning in case they are.

Did the EQ girls have tails? I don't think they did but I could be wrong. Also, I don't think RD would be caught dead in a skirt unless she had to. I could be wrong on that. Those girls look way to grown up to be high school girls. If they are real, I wouldn't get them.
Thanks for sharing. :)
-
Oh yiiiikes. Why do the faces have to be so weird like that. Rarity what is wrong?!
Otherwise eh, they're dolls. I didn't expect much.
-
they are...fugly.
-
Seconded, they do look quite odd. I don't see much evidence of articulation, either, so if I did want a doll I'd rather stick to MH.
ETA: Also, looking at RD, the 'tails' appear to be coming from their heads. Really, really strange design choice.
-
If these end up being the real dolls, I'll likely end up getting Applejack or Rarity regardless (being a fan of them and all).
But I admit, I am not 100% keen on how they look. Something about their faces bug me, especially for Rarity.

Articulation definitely would have helped, especially if Hasbro really wants the EG dolls to compete with MH. In a way, I feel kinda spoiled by Monster High and other articulated dolls, and articulation usually becomes a "semi-deal breaker" for me.
-
I'm weird.. I think they're cute! Though I don't collect dolls, and not very familiar with them.
ETA: Also, looking at RD, the 'tails' appear to be coming from their heads. Really, really strange design choice.
i agree, that is very strange looking. :blink:
-
I'm hoping, that these are just fakies from other places that make fakies, using the same head mold for EQG, while putting on THEIR ugly fakie version face-ups, stuck the heads onto colored Bratz Kidz bodies, and NOT Hasbro dragging their feet with half assed products because these are fugly as F***!
It's been done before with other doll lines, stolen head molds, ugly faces added instead of the legit faces, then their heads jammed into a Bratz body.
-
Did the EQ girls have tails? I don't think they did but I could be wrong.
They had extra long hair with a faux "pony" tail--- so it resembled a tail even though it was apart of the hair on their head. At least, they did in the one picture...
I'll probably be odd man out. I'm not even a doll person and I think they are cute. I hope the real release will each character have their own eyes. Or that these aren't the release at all, and it might be something others will like better. ):
-
I certainly hope they're fake. The lack of articulation is very disappointing.
-
I honestly think these are much more smaller scaled dolls, much like the Petite Blythes Hasbro made, so they would be closer in scale to the brushable ponies.
And here I thought we'd get some decent monster high knockoffs.
-
If they are priced the same as MLP singles, I can see why they look the way they do.
-
ETA: Also, looking at RD, the 'tails' appear to be coming from their heads. Really, really strange design choice.
I think some of the official art (forget whether it was the first released image, or if they're still using it, or what) showed their hairdos having one section which was longer than the rest of the hair. Like when you get a bad haircut and several strands have been missed, except in this case, they're down to practically the characters' feet. This represents tails without the characters actually having them. Does that help?
No, wait, it's still weird. >_<
-
Gosh, those sure are.... generic. Everything about them is off-putting. Their faces look a little like they tried for half-human half-pony, (sorta 3.5ish?) the ears look way too tall for their width, the wings are... dinky. Their expressions look just blank. AJ looks like she's dying inside. (That hat... she looks so skimpy and fake)The same outfit for all of them, not in character for any of them... and gosh, are we back to the face cutie marks and rattails from the early pictures?
I'm just... disappointed here. I sure hope these aren't what we'll see in stores.
-
I hope these are fake just so there's a posibility for better dolls, but even if these are real, I like them. Kinda hard to tell how the real thing will look from promo pics like these though. :/
-
I like them!.....Kinda disappointed in Rarity's hair and Aj's Hat,but besides that they are adorable and I love them! Even if they don't have articulation, that is fine for me. I find dolls with articulation are too fragile for me
-
Like oak said, these appear to be much smaller scale. The tops all look painted on to the body itself while the dresses are fabric. Joints appear to look like barbies and moving at the shoulders while the elbows and knees have joints inside that bend.
-
I had been looking forward to these since I'm a big fan of both Monster High and Ponies and they seemed like a great combo of the two, but if they really look like this in their final versions, that's pretty disappointing. The painted on shirts and weird butterfly wings are what bothers me the most. I didn't really expect them to be as good as Monster High as far as quality goes, but I was hoping for something at least along the lines of Novi Stars and Bratz. Even the petite Blyhtes that go with the Littlest Petshop have nicer looking outfits than these.
Honestly these give me a dollar store knock off vibe. I'll wait and see when they show up in stores, but right now I'm probably not getting any of these, even the Rarity whom I was really looking forward to for my Rarity collection. I guess I'll stick with customizing a Monster High Spectra for my human Rarity doll.
-
Am I the only one who thinks that their "tops" are actually molded on or painted onto their bodies?? It looks too snug to be rubber clothes and kinda reminds me of those Disney princess dolls that have swimsuits molded into their bodies and are given only a skirt.
-

yep. post #16 I said the same thing lol
-
lol guess we were both just frantically typing and posting in the heat of it all. :P
IF These were to be the smaller scale dolls (If these are even real at all), then there's still hope that the full size dolls could still be a success and not a flop.

...Oh my gosh, you guys are right; it's like how Barbie and Polly Pocket had underclothes molded onto their bodies. I like that even less...
-

Now that you (and Hawaiian) mention it, the tops do look like they're either painted on or molded.
I wonder how much these dolls are going to cost, if these are the real deal. If these are smaller-sized dolls, I wouldn't mind paying $10 or $12 for them (at the most).
-
Oh man, I just saw these on tumblr and cracked up for 5 minutes because they're so bad. They look really cheap and ugly, in my opinion. They don't have articulation and their top is painted onto them... no thanks. If they're cheap, I guess I'd still get them to have and maybe keep them in my extras drawer... I hope these really aren't them.
-
If how they handled SSC is any indication there will probably be mini dolls and regular sized dolls. I think these might just be the mini ones.

Yeah, brushable hair and all things considered it would make sense if these were smaller or lower-priced dolls. Maybe Hasbro has higher quality releases planned? *crosses cheese legs*
-
I honestly really like these! :lovey: They're looking much better than I thought they would.
-
they look so bland and cheap.... if they were as nice of quality as monster high etc. i would love an applejeack and fluttershy. but these..... YUCK :(
-
I don't like them myself. Doesn't look like the dolls have much detail. It's a shame. The dolls could have been cute but I feel like these are a miss.
-
ICK!
They look like Monster High fakies and bad ones at that. No articulation? Half-a**ed face ups? Are you kidding me??

Maybe Hasbro has something better planned for the full sized dolls, or they're just draggin their heels and making half-assed products to "try" and "revive" the MLP Toyline.
Either that or these ones are the smaller scale ones and are targeted towards smaller children who can't have full sized dolls for whatever reason, while the full sized ones have much more details than expected.
...but then again, we don't even know if these are the real deal or not, so no point over thinking about it this far. :P
-
I'm calling it real official Hasbro. The eyes (though I don't like) look high quality (same quality as their brushables) and the boot/shoes look like something Hasbro would do. I personally hope this is all they do, not larger ones, as I'd like Hasbro to get "back to ponies" asap.
-
Equestria Daily claims to have been "told" that these are prototypes, and that the faces, ears, and outfits are non-final. They don't cite any source, though, so take that for what you will.
-
Honestly, I think they're cute. Not really what I was expecting, and definitely not something I'll be going out of my way to get, but they are cute.
They look like they might have the same body as those little Blythe dolls that come with (or used to come with?) Littlest Pet Shop, so I'm guessing they're only about four inches tall. Makes sense; they'll be on-scale with the brushable ponies then.
I hope they do have a series of them that's more "fashion doll" sized; that's what I was hoping for when I heard they were doing dolls. And echoing what a lot of others have said, it'd be awesome to have something similar to Monster High in terms of articulation/style.
-
Prototypes would be the reason why they still have ears. Since we all say there were no ears on the final characters (or wings) in the previews. Promo art shows otherwise though.
still confusing at this point.
-
Interesting. Sort of want Rarity, but I would definitely use one of my spare unicorn horns from plastic curves to gussy her up a bit.
-
one word.....
.......
................
Barbie
-
I'm on the fence I might have to see one in person to judge if I like it or not
-
well even if these are prototypes, I'm less incline to get them...
The tops are painted on pretty much like the Cupcake dolls from the 80's and the faces kind of remind me a little of barbie mixed with another doll (maybe Bratz?)
And yes they do look older than they should... also AHHHH Twilight your head no match the body! Granted I can say that really is because the body plastic look like the hard plastic so of course the shade is different... just more apparent on Twilight =/
-
I'm kind of hoping these are prototypes, mainly due to the painted on shirts and the proportions- the arms are too short compared to their long legs, it makes them look weird.
Other than that, I like Pinkies' design at the moment, I didn't realise how good blues can look on her.
I'm really hoping they change Applejacks' design though, she looks like she's been dolled up (no pun intended) involuntarily due to her big and fake looking smile.
-
Feeling mixed about these. (But since these are prototypes i guess that doesn't matter.)
I think they are pretty cute but i'm mostly bothered by the clothing and cheap wings. Rainbow dash looks like a clown. But to be honest, i would be dissapointed if EQD is right and they no longer got pony ears. I don't see the point of making a line of dolls based on ponies if there is nothing pony-like about them.
-
Can't blame her:

:brow:
Methinks I'll stick to the ponies. Though those'd be pretty good McDonald's toys... :whistle:
-
I guess I'll be in the minority as always and love them :P More for me! But yes very sad about the lack of articulation.
-
Hmm... well, I was hoping for something a bit better :shocked: I haaaaate molded on clothes so I'm really hoping they change it or that these are fakies.

My mind went more towards Monster High. I think Hasbro has gotten bold and is trying to bite out of the Monster High market.

I think Monster High tries a little harder than this... as does Barbie. These just come off as weird cheap knockoffs. I'll wait to see more pictures before I write them off permanently, though.
-

That "bite" doesn't even come close to being a nibble to Monster High since these dolls don't seem to have any articulation at the elbow, wrist or knees.
If anything, I'd say these would be more compatible to the new Blythe dolls that come with the Littlest Pet Shop, Strawberry Short Cake, Polly Pocket, or maybe even MGA's Novi Stars.
-
I'm hoping the released dolls will be better. :<

https://twitter.com/Fyre_flye/status/339163075146022912
Whether you dig the dolls on their own or not, you can't deny that the designs have stripped away the individual personalities that she gave them. Everybody is done up like a sparkly makeup and short skirt wearing girly girl. Something is wrong when academic Twilight, Gentle Fluttershy and glamorous Rarity are all more or less represented the same, apart from the colors :(
-
I think Monster High as well, it has nothing to do with articulation, etc. and everything to do with that super skinny (disturbing) body type.
-

*nod* I think these are actually quite small if they're going to come with appropriately sized pony counterparts, much like the little blythes.
-
I don't mind them. They're not pony and I think they look cheap but, depending on the price, I might buy one of them.
-
I think ppl should hold judgement until we know how big they are. If they are around Polly Pocket sized then the lack of articulation is expected since when have you seen something that small with elbows and knees? They better not be Monster High sized.
-
Yuck. They remind me of those cheap dolls you can get in dollar stores. The faces look strange and I don't like how they're all wearing pretty much the same outfit and boots, just very slightly different color/design. I also hate the painted on tops. I remember when I was a kid, I had a Barbie with a painted on bathing suit and I hated it. I ended up putting her head on another body so she could wear clothes without the bathing suit always showing.
-
I want to believe that these are maybe like smaller and cheaper versions? And that there will also be nicer, larger, more expensive versions that have better articulation and don't have the molded bodices. And hopefully better faces too? This doesn't look like anything that comes anywhere near to competing with MH.
In a way, these almost make me think Happy Meal toys, but I think they're maybe a little too nice for that? But I feel weird calling them nice at all. Keeping my hopes up for something nicer.
-

Well, there was that one Polly Pocket...

It... wasn't pretty. :P
-
I doubt that they are not as small as polly pocket... because those 'pony tails' look almost like the regular g4 tails
-
These have to be fake, or at least very early prototypes. They have horse ears, and the charcters in the movie have normal human ears. They also have their cutie marks on their faces, which are missing in the trailer.
-
Well I won't buy them because I collect My Little Pony, not dolls.
I do like that they have pony ears and tails? I see wings but no horns, no magic allowed? That's stupid though if they can't have magic then they shouldn't have wings to fly either. :nuts:
-
If anything, I'd say these would be more compatible to the new Blythe dolls that come with the Littlest Pet Shop, Strawberry Short Cake, Polly Pocket, or maybe even MGA's Novi Stars.
I was thinking the boots and the tops look very polly pocket. I am hoping they are tight rubber like that instead of molded straight to the doll.
-
Boy they are not that nice looking, sorry :( Never been a doll person. Not even what I was a little girl.
-
I was really hoping these would have the cute look of the characters in the movie. Fluttershy looks nothing like her animated counterpart...AT ALL imo. She doesn't even have the same eyes. The clothes are really tacky imo as well...and EQD says they're just prototypes...so hopefully the finalized ones are cuter...
-
Judging from the scale of the hair, I don't think they are that small. And the fact they all have unique boots makes me think prototype, definitely not fakie. (Besides, wouldn't it be too early for fakies? They usually pop up AFTER a successful toy comes out.)
The body shape is a big meh for me. It does look like the drawing released though - I just would have made the human bodies stubbier, like Panty & Stocking figures / Bratz Kidz / the cartoony Azone 1/12 body (it would be a better reminder of those short stubby pony legs). But hey, that's my personal opinion.
Now, painted tops : I don't even accept them on those one inch high micro Barbies, so that's a straight fail. It's definitely an attempt to keep production costs down but it's a bad idea. Better make them cost a dollar or two more and have decent clothing.
And the eye decals, jeez. Why, why, why would they all have the same almond shape design? But perhaps that's just because they're prototypes and final version will all have they unique eye shapes.
-
If these are what they're going to look like, then I am going to save my money for more ponies. But, even if they were nicer, I'd probably still pass since I don't collect dolls. They'd have to be pretty darn nice to get my to spend any kind of money on them.
-
Yeeeah, not a fan. Rarity looks dead and she was the one I was most looking forward to.
I hope these are in fact prototypes based on the promotional concept art and that the end result looks more like the characters from the trailer, because they were really cute! Heck, even the concept art looks better.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Admittedly, I dig the ponytail-tails, but could easily do without them if this is the result.
Also, Applejack's ears look to be attached to her weird 90s hat which means her hat must be secured to her head? And if the tops are painted on then... well, so much for trading clothes and changing outfits. I really, really hope the end result is a lot better than this.
-

It... wasn't pretty. :P
Oh I had so many Polly Pockets like that! XD I had that set too I think....They would not stand up or really do anything to fancy..unless that ment doing the splits when they should have just sat down, then yeah. XD If they are Polly Pocket sized, they should not be too articulated. Maybe more like barbie dolls, with the elbow and knee, shoulder and legs.
These may not be fake...Lauren Faust just tweeted the picture.. So these might be the real deal, or she is trying to freak us out. :biggrin:
-
URGH. My wallet is safe, these are horrible. I'd only consider buying them if they threw in something like an exclusive pony (NOT a re-released pose type) per doll, or similar.
Plastic isn't that expensive, they could have at least moulded them with a decent body shape.
-
I don't know if it's just the angle or what, but Rarity looks like her face is melting off. I had actually been looking forward to these but now...meh. And the painted-on tops definitely kills it for me. Hopefully the final product will be better.
-
well I like them, I think they're cute.... depending on size and price I'd pick them up.
-
Okay, if these are real ....Whoa. Those are worse than I ever could have imagined. I'm not even a fan of the whole "Equestria Girls" thing to begin with, but I expected so much more from this line if Hasbro is really trying to compete with MH. Is that NO articulation whatsoever I spy? And their faces. Their outfits. Wow. Hideous.
I suppose the only comfort I have right now is that Hasbro is putting as much effort into the quality of these dolls as they do their G4 ponies, quality-wise. XD
-
Prototypes or not,these look absolutely awful. They don't resemble anything that was once pony, and even by typical doll standards they look REALLY bad. Especially Rarity!
They don't even resemble how they looked in the trailer. Ugh. I never wanted anything to do with EQ to begin with but come on Hasbro,at least make them look better than this.
-
I think these are protos since their designs in the movie doesnt have them with wings or ears anymore. I actually like these! They look a little 'off' but lol they are dolls! :P I have always been an animal figure type toy lover, but I am willing to give it a chance with dolls. I have a good feeling I will like EQG. I do hope the doll quality is a little better when they are released.
-
They don't look that great... :(
The outfits, the body shape and the quality... Hasbro, you really need to step it up, with your ponies and your Equestria Girls!
-
Update from Equestria Daily: "We have been told that these are actually prototypes. The real models have new faces, axed wings and ears, and different outfits."
-
Women of the world, you have your assignment--to the plastic surgeons! :D
-
Alright everyone you can breathe out slowly now and let the rage subside :P
-
Update from Equestria Daily: "We have been told that these are actually prototypes. The real models have new faces, axed wings and ears, and different outfits."
Thanks for the additional info! I feel like it's not really of any comfort at all. :( I love Rarity lots, but not this much. These dolls just look bad.
-
ICK!
They look like Monster High fakies and bad ones at that. No articulation? Half-a**ed face ups? Are you kidding me??
totally :(
-
Women of the world, you have your assignment--to the plastic surgeons! :D
Already saving up money for the Valeria Lukyanova surgery special. :P
Update from Equestria Daily: "We have been told that these are actually prototypes. The real models have new faces, axed wings and ears, and different outfits."
Do they have a source that proves it?? Unless there's a source cited, I am very doubtful that it's true. >,<; Either way, hopefully the real ones will look a WHOLE Lot better than these.
-
I'm not a doll person anyway, but...
The idea definitely has the potential to be cute, but the execution is lacking.
They're just identical colorful stick-girls with Megaman feet to me. Nothing strikes them as ponies other than color and their clothing print. If I didn't know they were MLP I'd think they were themed after fairies or candy.
And THEIR FACES ARE THE SAME! Their eyes are identical in the art and trailer so I don't expect that to change, but that is just lazy character design, why couldn't they have kept their old eyes?
-
Speaking of nightmares...
Yea, night'mares'.

-
Seeing how cheap these look, does anyone have a guess what they'll cost?
I'd say $12.99 because there isn't much articulation but cloth bits on toys cost more to produce lately. This is of course assuming these are Monster High scale and not 6" or 3" tall.
-
Does anyone else think the reason we didn't get MLP Happy Meal toys earlier this year is because they're waiting to do Equestria Girls toys instead? I really hope not. But since a lot of their Happy Meal toys coincide with a movie release (be it theatrical or DVD release) it's certainly possible.
-
Unfortunately, I don't think those are fakies.
I think the dolls will be more or less like those.
The dolls have no tails, it is a lock of hair longer than the rest of the hair, like the cartoon. The wings are really odd.
-
this is very bizarre and i can't believe i am saying this as i was so against the whole idea of those EQ girls but i really like them, am i the only one or two our there? they have nice faces and i would be happy to get hold of them even though i was never into dolls even as a kid. i would buy them for my daughter
-
thats weird for my opinion..
-
It is a weird idea to take all the individuality and unique properties out of my little pony and turn it into an ordinary doll line.
If you want pony dolls, why not make them look like full anthro ponies? That would make them fun for people who collect dolls and not alienate the actual pony collectors.
They could still have their wings, tails and pony faces with nice long manes for styling- and be able to share clothes with Monster High, barbie, jem...
-
It wouldnt be the first time Hasbro have tried to put people off the scent using sites like EQD - after all they pretty much denied everything to do with EQG [from the voice talent to the creators] until it got an official press confirmation and then all of a sudden the script had been finalised for over 12 months?! Companies will fudge the truth as much as they need to for a big launch - such information is very protected - and I have no issue with them doing so. However, unless someone can quote a name and what he/she does at Hasbro, I ll take it with a pinch of salt - even a fan run "news" site should be able to quote a source - I mean this isn't Watergate.
In fact the very fact someone has supposedly taken the time to confirm/deny these is enough for me to show that they are real. Also all they mention changing is removing ears/wings and altering the clothes. So I guess if we are to believe this source it is the same fundamental doll then with some clothes changes.
We have also already seen that there will be "doll + pony" packs, so I will agree with what others have said here and the original speculation at the time that these dolls will be more in size line with Blythe and therefore thats why they are lacking a little in articulation and general finish.
All in...I think I ll wait to see one in person before I judge but at the moment I will admit to perhaps being a touch disappointed by the finish.
-
I'm going to copy paste my comment from Equestria Daily.
Disgustingly anorexic looking (Hasbro,why are you promoting this?) not to mention cheap. Their legs look like they are about to snap...
Poor Rarity and Applejack look the worst out of the lot. Do they really think the target audience will want these? Most of their parents will stick to buying ponies as its a well known brand,plus the toys are good quality (even if they aren't completely show accurate,they are sturdy) They aren't going to want to buy their children these terrifying 'pony-human' combo. A bad idea,Hasbro.
I do now realise that these are prototypes,but I'm not expecting any better. (No offence meant if you do like these dolls,this is just my opinion.)
-
instead of these...they should have started making pony cloths....like sets and what not........ :huh:
-
You know, the Pinkie Pie one is growing on me. Her color combination seems to work.
-
Well even if they aren't as small as Polly I still don't think they will be as tall as MH or Barbie. Maybe they are closer in size to the Novi Stars or the newest LPS Blythe with the rubber clothes?
-
Why does Rainbow Dash look prettier than Rarity?
-
I've sort of held off commenting on these but it's too hard to resist lol. They look awful.
I was really looking forward to seeing the EqG dolls. Mostly because, from what i can gather, this brand is basically Hasbro trying to cash in on the Monster High market. I have wanted some MH dolls for ages, however with my pony collection, I just can't justify getting another collection going lol. So i was hoping these would be very similar to monster high in quality, albeit a little cuter, i mean these are ponies after all lol. However these are just not what i was expecting. I can see no articulation on them plus the outfits are awful. Like really awful. I mean these make the original artwork for them look decent. To me it looks like the tops are painted on which, if you're trying to sell fashion dolls, doesn't make much sense. Isn't the idea of fashion dolls to make the doll and then make really awesome outfits kids will want separately? The expressions are horrifying and the wings look like they stole them from the breezies. I don't mind the pony ears given that these are ponies after all but if we have ears, why not horns??? Don't get me started on those weird little 'pony tail' things sprouting from their heads.
I possibly like Pinkie, but at this point i'm not sure whether i actually like her or whether she's just the best out of a really bad job.
At least they remembered AJ's hat

Yeah... I'll definitely pass on these... Prototypes or not. :yikes:
-
I just noticed something that I find oddly hilarious. Twilight's head is a different shade of purple than her body. Just like her brushable! XD
-
Glad these are prototypes. Upon seeing the photo for the first time, I dubbed RD as "Ziggy Stardash" ;)
-
Eww!!! UGH!!! *shuns the dolls*
-
Urgh... they're just as sickening as I thought they would be... if not worse!
-
Hmmm. I guess I am torn. I don't like the idea of EqG's at all. But.....I do collect all the brushable MLP stuff, and this would technically fit into that category. I'll probably pick up a set of them to put on a top shelf somewhere. Maybe just so 30 years from now, I can take them down and laugh that Hasbro ever made them in the first place.
-
I'm still excited about them, but I'm hoping the finished product is better.
-
:( I really hope those aren't authentic because they are ugly. The least they could of done is given each of them accurate eyes to their pony counterpart.
-
Oh how I hope the finished product looks better. I would still get Pinkie if they look like this, she's the best of the bunch in my opinion.
-
You know, I might have some high expectations for the EG dolls because of customs like this:
http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,327578.0.html
Saply, you've set the bar high my friend. Very, very high.
-
Oh my goodness *_* That is one awesome custom.
-
These are... horrid :/ I wasn't exactly hopeful to start with, but I can't deny I was hoping to see the princesses and some background characters as dolls. But these look somewhat like their faces have gotten smashed in and they are frozen in place. I don't understand how, with how popular the Monster High dolls are, that anyone entering the doll merchandise line wouldn't at least make their product well jointed. Plus, I have think that is is ridiculous that they made their skin color match their coat color. It just makes them look bizarre to me, like Rarity NEVER has seen sunlight in her life and Applejack has a bad spray tan. I could go on but I think people have already said a lot of what I think lol.
-
I kinda like them. I'm not down with the cartoon series, but I would get these lil dolls. Though I think Fluttershy is the worst of the bunch... totally wrong colour if you ask me :huh:
But I wondered if maybe the reason I like them is because I don't collect dolls, so I don't have any previous expectations or requirements for what dolls I like should be. Therefore too me, these are cute lil dolls and nothing more.
-
My facebook comment went something like this: Some folks are saying they are fakies, some folks are saying these are prototypes. One can only hope this is some fans creation and not hasbro. This doesn't even look modern, it looks like a really, really, really bad interpretation of the 80's...like the worst style imaginable. 1980's rainbow bright called and said she wants her boots back but then saw the boots and hung up.
My addition is: I could possibly work with the dolls, minus the rat tail thing going on with the hair - that's so horribly cheap to do that. If it is coming out of the head it's a terrible idea Hasbro...why?
Outfits can be changed, lets hope the clothing is not part of the body - and lets hope those boots come off - if the clothing is molded on then these dolls are filling up my top five things I hate in a doll.
-
I'm not a fan of them, but they could have been a lot worse.
-
I think they're kinda cute :biggrin:
Looks like they will be pretty small- (brushable size compatible?) so they won't be expensive. I hope they sell them in a pack!
I'd want to fix them up once I got them- (the wings are downright odd- maybe they are supposed to be invisible ??) but this is along the line of what I was expecting from Hasbro honestly. At least their faces are pretty (was worried they'd be ugly like the re-make of the Sea Wees)
-
I... Um... Like them :blush:
Still, the faces could've been better.
-
Anyone know how much these will be? I mean if they are around the same price as a pony I guess you can't really expect too much. I mean a Monster High doll costs between $15-$20 give or take.
-
oh my, that custom *grabby hands* <3

Aaah yes, that one is beautiful.
If these are unchanged I don't think I'll get any of them... they're just .... eck
-
These look like McDonald's toys to me.
-

My guess is they will be about the same price as ponies given that the level of detail (and the likelihood they will be really small).
Maybe they will combine them in a pack with brushables like they did with the LPS/Blythe thing. If so, I'm anticipating a pricetag of about $14.99 - $16.99. If the dolls are even smaller than the Blythes (and they may be given the painted on outfits)- maybe $12.99 a pack...

-

Quick, someone pray to the pony gods that this is true.
-
OMG- they do! I bet you are right!!! THey are just the right size and level of detail!
Still- the only thing that suggests otherwise is that they appeared on that Russian toy site- why would they have McDonalds toys?
-
No articulation = 100% No Sale
especially with the creepy faces
-
I actually kind of like them ^^;
-
It's mostly the non articulation that's putting me off seriously off. I'm not interested in the show at all but I was hoping that on seeing the actual dolls I might at least like Pinkie and AJ but nope not yet.
-
Ew.. They look even worse than in the movie..
-
One word - hideous! :X
-
lol! I am happy to see Twilight's head STILL doesn't match her body. At least Hasbro is consistent! I sure hope these are mini versions. Otherwise, a question to Hasbro: Was it really worth it?
-Shadow
-
I'm torn. I like them, but I don't want to support the "GIRLS SHOULD BE STICKS!!!111" stereotype...Hmmm..To buy or not to buy. :/
-
Update from Equestria Daily: "We have been told that these are actually prototypes. The real models have new faces, axed wings and ears, and different outfits."
Thank celestia.

There was confirmation that one of the releases is "doll + pony" :)
-
Hm. Not amazed, but could be a lot worse. Still quite curious to see how it will all turn out.
Besides, I'll still want a Pinkie anyway, I'm sure.
-
No, just no. :sigh:
-
I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but maybe these are McDonald's toys?
-
I remember on the original EQ Girls doll thread I said I feared these would be inaccurate, non-articulated pieces of junk that look like Happy Meal prizes.
Looks like I was (unfortunately) correct!
-
I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but maybe these are McDonald's toys?
Someone did mention that possibility- which is a good one- except that the toys appear on that Russian vendor's website- which seems to indicate they are merchandise to me.

I went back a page or two and found the suggestion- I felt so smart, too! I'm going to keep dreaming that the Russians have stolen our McDonald's toys, and the real toys are still to come. (Boris and Natasha... those naughty spies. Where are Moose and Squirrel when you need them?)
-
they give me the mcdonald/polly pocket/strawberry shortcake vibe ... as in smaller 4-6" size ...
i think they're kinda cute ... but somewhat disappointing ... i love the colors, the different styles, that weird rat tail hair thing is an easy fix with scissors ... but the lack of poseability and the off looking faces is a pout factor of at least 8 lol
really hope these are just REALLY early prototypes or mcd toys
-
Ok, so I would be alright if these were about the size of Megan. I have actually been looking for a doll that would be a good foil for the g4s. I would love to see more details but for small scale, these aren't bad. If these are typical Barbie/Monster High size I could see painted on under garments with changeable clothes.
Also, did anyone check out the MLP selection on that Russian page? They have exclusives, FS AppleJack, the first farvorites collection, they go back to those pony babies (not sure if they are g3 or g3.5 since I don't collect either generation) all the way to the new FS Pinkie Pie. Too bad I can't read the text and convert the prices. I would be interested to know if we could buy in the US and get it shipped.
-
^ google translate? :P
-
I am seriously on the fence about this one. They are okay, but they aren't truly ugly either. They're just not what I hoped for. I was hoping for better looking eyes and expressions at least, if they are not going to make them jointed.
-
Rarity looks like she's been dug up... :|
-
I, um.... I actually think they're quite sweet... :blush:
-
Do not want. :razz:
-
Equstria Daliy reports these are prototypes..and i have the painted or molded shirts eww
-
i like them... but i seem to be the minority. The EQ Girls DO kind of have tails, their hair is super long at the back which gives the illusion of tails.
they are kind ugly in their outfits but i kinda like them. XD but like someone said i wouldn't want to support the STICK FIGURE GIRLS message.
-
XD but like someone said i wouldn't want to support the STICK FIGURE GIRLS message.
Something about this bugs me...oh yeah the idea that you have to put down one body type to support another. All bodies are beautiful, thin or thick or in between. And yeah it would be nice to see a doll line that isn't skinny but don't put down the skinny dolls in the process. Some people are just naturally thin after all.
-
It seems really strange that there's not a Sunset Shimmer doll as well, if she gets a brushable pony and maybe also a fashion style pony. These prototypes are probably quite outdated, since the movie's outfit designs have been locked down for at least four months now (and probably far longer than that, given how long it takes to animate stuff), but the script is supposed to be over a year old, so where is she?

We dont exactly get a lot of new pony characters let alone more than 6 doll characters; perhaps they will simply focus on the main 6 as dolls to check out the market?

It would be great to see a line of dolls that has a range of body sizes and shapes. I know why toy companies make all their dolls the same. It's cheaper and dolls can share clothing.
Monster High would be better if there were different size options in customisable body parts :) (I wonder if they will make a centaur character)
-
I don't mind that they are skinny or have all the same body shape. However, their faces are really ugly , plus painted on clothing? *gag* Such a disappointment : (
-
hum takeing into account the lack of possibility and the painted on tops is it possible that these are prototypes for McD toys? or have they been confirmed as real deal retail figures?
-
I don't have a problem with how they're dressed or their body/hair colours. It's those shoes I don't like... 'specially AJ's. :P
Best of luck to you Hasbro. There are lots of humanoid doll brands to compete with - Monster High is just the start of it.
-
At the end of the day, I find myself extremely relieved Hasbro didn't try this stunt with the G1s. I'd have been horrified back then. :blink:
-

I'm even horrified now. They look disgusting and I hate this whole idea ...

Bright shiny colours... @_@
-
they are like cat people :(
-
8D wow, I actually think I felt myself die a little inside!
-
hasbro just wants to compete for the barbie/monster high market :)!
you can't blame them for giving it a try :)
-
not really liking the looks of them. If they are real, I wouldn't see myself getting one. Sorry Hasbro.
-
Eh.. :crazy:
I really want to give this a chance... I'm trying to be open minded... :(
But these dolls are just.. No... :|
Excuse me while i go and hug all my G1's...
-
It's in theatres at the end of the week. WHY do we still only have these cruddy prototype photos?? *rolls on the floor* Show me naaaaoo...
-
BAM! Right in the childhood!
-
I'm really wanting to see the real thing too. I think it's a great idea as long as they still keep making ponies. I just really like anthro dolls and if they do it right, pony girls could be super cute.
-
BAM! Right in the childhood!
:like: :like: :like:
-
Whaaat? Ponies to be dolls? Oh no... one should not mix up toys like this. Dolls should stay dolls and cute little ponies should stay ponies...
-
The newest trailer for this features a song about helping Twilight "win the crown" that was stolen from her. This is worrisome, because it really makes it seem like she needs to become prom queen or something in order to save the day. I hope I'm wrong!
I also hope that these are McDonalds toys, because... Eeeeeh, nope. They are so woefully off-model from the movie.
-
People really need to wait until this movie and these dolls actually get released before judging them so harshly. During G1 we had human dolls, other "mlp animals" and even wierd little spin-offs like "Dream Beauties" and "My little kitty/puppy/bunny". Not sure why people think the concept of "human ponies" is so extreme. As for the school drama, that's nothing new to the MLP line either. "MLP Tales" had plenty of that.

Eeeeyup, that is the plot.... Her Elements of Harmony crown ends up in this 'human' world and somehow gets put in place as the crown for the 'fall formal', so Twilight has to become queen of the fall formal dance in order to get her crown back. -_- Wow, gripping.
I feel like we're back in the G3 animation days where the plot of each episode was planning a birthday party or practicing a ballet dance.
-
doubt I'll ever watch this movie.
The prom theme is an excuse to have dolls with many different outfits "Oh, whatever shall I wear?!"
and they can all sing a song while they try on the dresses.
Hope those dolls get some fancier duds before the big night or Twilight won't stand a chance :P
-
I hope these are to scale with the ponies and he get some nicer "Fashion Style" sized ones. I have an idea involving 2 of my favorite things FiM and TF2.

I think the issue is not that there ARE spinoffs, but rather how they are presented. The only dolls G1 had were actual human characters in the show, not humanified ponies. The other animals didn't even show up in the cartoon.
This is for a movie.
Also, what I just read about the movie's plot... ;A;
-
The more I hear and see about this movie, the more I am completely unimpressed. I was expecting SOOOO much more from a FiM movie. I wouldn't mind if they wanted to put humans into the show, like back in G1, but I really don't like the idea of humanized ponies. I like My Little Pony precisely because they are ponies. And the premise just seems really weak. I was hoping for something more like Rescue at Midnight Castle, but I guess you can't have everything.
-
The movie is actually looking better than the dolls at this point. The last trailer was enjoyable but these prototypes, without any sense of scale to know what they even compare to, look rather lacking.
-
Looking at these dolls again, they HAVE to be happy meal prizes. I just can not imagine them being anything else, and we haven't seen MLP McDonald's toys yet this year despite the logo at toy fair....
-

This is my all time favorite post about these dolls.
I couldn't put my finger on it but that is what they look like.
-
Oh give them a little credit. If these were McDs dolls they wouldn't be jointed.
-

They're not...
-

They are. Shoulders, head and most probably legs - sure that's no Obitsu, but think about Happy Meals Barbies, Ponies and Bratz : a solid bloc of plastic with simple paint and sometimes a strand of hair.
These dolls do look cheap, but not that cheap. Maybe they are aiming to sell them close to 5$ like ponies. (A bad move if you ask me.)
-
I suppose if you count them not being a solid piece then yes they're jointed, but that's not a stretch for McD's, all the madame Alexander dolls could move their arm legs etc.
-
Oh yeah that's true, I remember handling one once (...stole her raincoat and tossed the doll) they did have basic joints. Nasty, hard hollow-feeling plastic though. The supposed prototypes have that slightly mate, rubbery doll look, that's part of what makes me think the material is a few dollars more expensive than McD toys.
-
I'm not very fond of them, but I don't like dolls.

I'm not sold on Applejack, but Sunset Shimmer looks amazing. Twilight is somewhere in-between. But hay if I'm not tempted to get the pair just for Sunset Shimmer, and I'm hardly a doll person.
-
Hmm, not sure what to think... this Twilight is actually kinda cute, she was the cutest of all the dolls in the first picture of them too. I really wish she had more articulation though, but I am glad that both her and Sunset Shimmer have outfits that are all fabric, even if Applejack still has the plastic looking bodice. I wonder what the prices are going to be like... also I find it kinda strange that Applejack seems to be identical as the first photo?
-
Twilight still looks to have molded straps on her shoulders, but it's hard to really tell. I'm just kind of.... ehhh. It looks like they tried. But they kept the rat-tails and the pony ears, and didn't change Applejack at all... I'm disappointed.
-
Twilight has like no neck o_O lol
-
Twilight has like no neck o_O lol
XD I thought I was the only one that thought that! Ok, glad I am not alone on this.
-
I do like the choice of fabrics and prints used on their skirts. I guess the school has a very loosely defined bodice-and-skirt dress code/uniform? :lol: I hated their boots/legwarmers in the artwork, and don't like them much more in plastic form - I was theorizing they might help the dolls stand on their own, but I'm not so sure about that now. And why is Applejack wearing a cloche?
As for the dolls themselves, I prefer the closed mouth heads, something looks a little off about the ones with teeth. ^^; Way too much eye makeup, but then all their lipstick is generic red or pink? At least give Rarity a nice plum, she isn't wearing a speck of pink! :shakefist: Those tails need to go, they didn't even curl Pinkie Pie's.
Despite my nitpicking, they could be more terrible. But... well, but. It might be nice to see one in the hands of a customizer who's good at new face ups and making shoes, to start.
Seriously, my least favorite part has always been the shoes. :sheepish:
-
not a doll collector ,but is a good move on Hasbro ,they have to compete for the doll market and MLP is their strong base ,would have been silly not to use it, It has some originality so it cool they created them :) :biggrin:
-
They could have used another property they owned. Like Jem. I mean I like these, well the heads and clothes anyways, but I would have have rather seen a line of popstar style dolls than human ponies.
-
Rather than merge 2 such large threads. I am going to lock this one up as the more active discussion is over here...
