Title: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: Unicorn_pops on July 17, 2013, 03:13:32 PM
I found her on ebay a few days ago but I'd never seen her before. Has anyone else (other than the one recently listed on ebay)?

I've seen her on Taobao! Looks like Hasbro wanted to try a different eye style for Fluttershy .

OH that's the regular fluttershy body combined with the head for this pony (pic from strawberryreef.com)

Typical of Taobao ponies to have mix-matched heads and bodies and parts....

Her hair is the dark pink version though?

Her eyes also don't have the crystal shape.

Oh good point!  So maybe Fluttershy will look like this now?  I sure hope not... she looks like she is being electrocuted or something.

Her plastic looks like it's a dark metallicy gold color and her hair's different from her other releases. Maybe a test run for a special release?

Well they have remoulded the heads slightly as we have seen with Mrs Cake and Lyra so perhaps they are taking full advantage and changing Fluttershy as well?

While I understand why the more show-ish version is probably going to be popular, personally I really dislike those eyes.

I prefer this eye style XD

i was wondering about this too, same with the different body style Miniature Collections fluttershy, she has eyes like that too. looks like they are doing what they did with rainbow dashes pinkie eyes
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: Unicorn_pops on July 17, 2013, 06:32:24 PM
I don't hate them but she just looks weird..."She's shocked to see you" :)
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: Brandi on July 17, 2013, 06:37:24 PM
Wow, that's Fluttershy with crazy wide eye!
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: Galactica on July 17, 2013, 06:37:46 PM
I am hoping she is a test pony-

I don't mind playing around with the eye design- but this one is a bit odd.

I really like the Sunset Shimmer eye design- can't they do more ponies in that style or similarly cute?

Hahaha she does look shocked. I just hated how sad her first eyes looked.

Post by: starflyer425 on July 17, 2013, 07:42:39 PM
looks like they ripped off CM fluttershys head, put it on a norm pegasus body, painted her some weird taupe yellow mix and dyed her hair with pink rit. that and all that excess plastic. bluh. :nope:
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: Cherry_Sunset on July 17, 2013, 07:58:09 PM
I kind of like it, but kind of don't. I just always thought that her eyes looked a little bit small and needed to be a little bigger and a tiny bit less like she was going to cry. This is better but still...
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?

Fluttershy on speed????

I actually have her! I dont have pictures though... I will take a pic later when she arrives! She was a taobao pony I bought off of a friend. I love her eyes! It looks like she is giving you the stare....

I like Sunset's eyes too. They are not too far off from what I sort of do with G4 customs.. though still different

I like that they want to update Fluttershys eye shape, but she looks kind of.. out of it o_o
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: BrightIdea on July 17, 2013, 10:38:48 PM
I am not a fan of her new reptilian eyes. I always thought that Fluttershy's eye design was the best  and also looked most like her art out of the main 6 ponies, so it seems weird that they would specifically change her.

As for the hair colour, is it possible they are trying to match her to the Equestria Girls dolls now? I think the Fluttershy doll has this colour of hair.
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: Cadence on July 17, 2013, 10:59:29 PM
Aww I really thought her original eye design was cute. Even if Fluttershy's eye design changes, I hope other ponies will still keep her original eye shape!
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: SilkSpun on July 17, 2013, 11:11:45 PM
Eurgh, the eye shape isn't that bad at all, but they did a really weird job with printing it. If only they pushed the pupil just a little bit more to the edge...

If it's a new head sculpt entirely, at least I think it holds promise for customs and repaints. :lol:
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: PinkRosedust on July 18, 2013, 12:23:08 AM
I think I prefer this shape for her. Something about her eyes never looked right to me...it caused me to not want to buy her for my collection.
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: cleverLC on July 18, 2013, 07:27:53 AM
I prefer this eye style XD

Me too, if only because it'll make it easier to make yellow pegasus customs without Fluttershy-eyes.

This is true too. I opted to use a Sunny Rays instead of Fluttershy for my Lofty custom because of the eyes

Is her body slightly pearly-ish too or is it just the lighting in the photo that makes it look strangely shiny?
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: PitterPatter on July 18, 2013, 10:04:50 AM
I don't like these eyes on her :( Just doesn't seem right, I think it makes her look more normal... or average....
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: majikarte on July 18, 2013, 01:42:16 PM
She's almost a little bit creepy to me? I thought it was a fakie at first, haha... I greatly prefer the original face.
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: bladed on July 18, 2013, 01:44:44 PM
THOSE EYES. THEY WILL HAUNT MY NIGHTMARES. FOREVER.

Seriously, what was Hasbro thinking?!
Title: Re: Has anyone seen this G4 before?
Post by: FainneRoisin on July 18, 2013, 01:52:33 PM
crazy, I don't like her eye change.  And the quality of the pony looks sorta bad.  But I would probably still get one just to have something different!

It does look shiny but I don't know if it's just a setting with the camera?
Title: New eye on Fluttershy
Post by: Aednatia on August 20, 2013, 09:49:46 AM
so don't know if anyone has seen her yet and maybe has some comments or ideas? I think she looks odd, why couldn't they just give her a regular round/oval eye indent head..

It appears to be the same tear drop eye indent to me, but with a different decal over it. Is she an error or a new variant that isn't out yet?

I feel like she is staring into my soul  :lookround:
I really hope it was just an error.
Title: Re: New eye on Fluttershy
Post by: sweetapple on August 20, 2013, 10:04:41 AM
There have been a couple of sightings over the past few weeks of the new-eye fluttershy. I have a feeling they're going to use her in an upcoming release, like how RD turned up on shelves with new eyes a while back.
I personally hope they don't stick with this style =/ She has a creepy surprised expression. The old eye stamp was fine...
Title: Re: New eye on Fluttershy
Post by: Starly on August 20, 2013, 10:29:34 AM
I like it more, her old eye always looked dumb to me, especilly when customizers would copy it for other ponies. Blah.
Title: Re: New eye on Fluttershy
Post by: Cherry_Sunset on August 20, 2013, 10:37:08 AM
Her old eye decal did seem a bit small to me, but then again all of their eyes seem a little too small. The new one is alright, but it doesn't seem as cute and shy as it does in the show? I mean, it's not horrible, but it still needs some tweaking to get it right, I suppose?
Title: Re: New eye on Fluttershy
Post by: sleepyowl on August 20, 2013, 10:59:30 AM
Oh wow, I don't like it at all. It looks very weird and kinda creepy to me. I really hope they don't stick with it.

how can you see into my eyes like open doors
Title: Re: New eye on Fluttershy
Post by: majikarte on August 20, 2013, 11:08:06 AM
I'm really not a fan of these eyes. Fluttershy was like the only one of the Mane 6 that actually looked fairly show-accurate. I don't really care too much about show accuracy (you should see the curls on my Rainbow Dash) but this face is just kinda creepy.
Title: Re: New eye on Fluttershy
Post by: PitterPatter on August 20, 2013, 11:12:56 AM
I don't like these eyes either, I don't think it looks right in general, but especially after her old eyes, these are just so different.

Post by: TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 on August 20, 2013, 11:15:19 AM
Yeah, I'm in the group that finds this a little bit creepy looking. It really doesn't look as accurate as her old eyes. Of course I'll get it for the sake of completion, but I don't know if I'll be displaying it...

You mean Pinkie Pie? Her eyes are exact to the show, and her colors are too. Hard to mess up pink on pink though. Fluttershy always had 3 less eyelashes than she should, and her eyes in the show aren't nearly as teardrop shaped. If anything, Rarity is second closest, just missing her bottom lashes.

I'm not seeing the 'creepy' here.

My Crystal Motion Fluttershy has those eyes.

As seen on the Strawberry Reef site:

Am I the only one who prefers these eyes?  Fluttershy's eyes on her old toys looked really tired.  It seems like she's the pony whose eyes are hardest to get right.

I like these eyes better too. Mostly as I don't enjoy seeing the old eye style/look on custom ponies that make no sense to have eyes like that.

Post by: melipuffles on August 20, 2013, 02:37:46 PM
I just think she seems to ALERT. Like someone just came up behind her and yelled BOO.

They're a bit too wide for Fluttershy. I definitely preferred her older eyes.
