That swan boat is insanely cute.I think the same about this. ^.^
I think this is a great idea, although their implementation does look clunky. I like to pose things a lot personally, so this is nice. Maybe the final product will look less awkward, stranger things have happened!
These are one of those things I feel like we need to see people make their own poses and post pictures to see how they look.
Also a regular starlight without ribbon I'll be getting this one, wave 1 explore equestria (come on hasbro youre not exploring much in equestria yet, hopefully with wave 2..?)

But as an adult I am seeing an opportunity to make a custom Peridot pony (from Steven Universe) or even a robot pony, so bring 'em on, ha ha.
For those who are unsure about how the joints look, perhaps custom pony wear?
I'm partial to the argument that [the ribbon brushables] are just being put out to sell their codes in this upcoming mobile app, and once that's over with, they can move on to other characters. Time will tell if it's right or not, of course, but in the meantime these are pretty easy to read as contractual obligation and nothing more.Well, I lose.
Well they are always going to have some of the Mane 6 since they are the stars of the show. At least there is one new-ish character and hopefully there will be more new regular brushables since they are at least adding newbies to the gimmick lines.I'm partial to the argument that [the ribbon brushables] are just being put out to sell their codes in this upcoming mobile app, and once that's over with, they can move on to other characters.

I wouldn't have liked these as a kid, the joints would have bothered me.

I'm hoping they actually look better when posed right because that seller put them in some really awkward poses.
my gripe is honestly the 'no neck' looks ._.I'm hoping they actually look better when posed right because that seller put them in some really awkward poses.
They will! Taobao pics are usually not the best. ^^;
my gripe is honestly the 'no neck' looks ._.
be sure to give one a neck first XDmy gripe is honestly the 'no neck' looks ._.
Yeah, I can see that.
I have so many ideas for these guys! I want to see if I can mod one to be strung.

I have a feeling the bodies are hard plastic and maybe almost built like the shine brights or crystal motion ponies were built

has anyone noticed that the wings on the 3 are 100% different?
Twilight's is obvious but I didn't noticed how Fluttershy's and RD's wings were till I saw those single photos.
Fluttershy's is thinner and looks like it belonged to another set of ponies, plus are actually on her back
RD's is the thick like the normal ponies, but her wings are attached like Twilight's and look like they are positioned at the elbows...
Of course! Maybe a nice round bead so they can move their heads up and down too.Odd but then again Fluttershy has a new headmold? Only other G4s in that size that had open mouths was a oom 'n Go Pinkie and RD
And yeah, it looks like maybe Twilight and RD's wings are posable but Fluttershy isnt?
I think they are trying to show all the articulation range the ponies have got (which to be honest I find it pretty good), not any natural horse poses ^^UTheir articulation range should emulate horses, not demented marionettes.

Their heads don't seem to be very poseable, so I'd imagine they'd fall over backward if you tried to stand them up on two legs due to the weight. Plus they'd always be looking up. :rofl:
Although, is it just me, or does that Pinkie with the swan boat seem to have more of a neck than the other toys?
They seem to have rotating necks.
New questions about them, will they be able to stand on two legs? I hope so, but I won't hold my expectations high.I doubt it, unless they are not head heavy.. which they likely will be and there won't be enough weight in the tail to balance them out... Unless the person was making them stand straight up which would make them look strange to do no other joints xD

side note : has any one else had the thought that these kind of look like all the fan art of FNAF cross over ponies?
I'm now curious as to why there are two different versions of RD... couldn't one of them have been another pony???

I think each set has them doing something different. I don't mind that they did her again but they should have done Rarity first.
Sight seeing I'm assuming is the ones with the pets.I'm now curious as to why there are two different versions of RD... couldn't one of them have been another pony???

One is a "Winning Kick" Rainbow Dash figure and the other is a "Sightseeing" one.

so i bought some off ebay. probably paid more than they will cost in stores, but i want to see if they are something i can customize.

fluttershy has a trigger action, so i'm not sure if i'll be able to use her. probably either sell her or give her to my niece for Christmas. twilight is staying as is and coco will be the one i experiment on. *evil laugh* curious to see if they will take dye or if the code on the ponies are legit. still not even sure if you can take them apart. but i thought it was worth a try.
if anyone wants to know about the process i'll try to keep photo documentation, but i won't post it here unless asked, plus i'm not sure if that would be off topic. either way. very excited to get these girls.

let me know if anyone wants to buy fluttershy off me. she was 10$ so until she hits stores that's what i'm asking.
I'm in the "They look odd category" here. The colors of the different parts don't seem to match and the joints don't look good. I think part of it might be the size. The joints needed are too big to be inconspicuous on such small ponies. Articulation is a cool concept, but the actually product isn't visually pleasing to me.
Some of the ponies look awfully-buff like "Errr.... You ok there, sugarcube?" but regardless, it's hasbro trying something new (I think they saw the love of MH and other BJDs, so they're seeing if we'll like them mixed with ponies) and with new things come more new ideas to show us! (Still hoping for more boy ponies. I can only imagine how play-time goes for kids with only Shining Armor as the boy pony)
I picked up articulated AJ, (wanted free shipping on my amazon order), and FYI she's different than CoCo because her legs are spring loaded! In addition to the knees bending she has a built in kicking gimmick. I'm 90% Cocos doesn't, I would have remembered that.Interesting. I know that they are split up in two different sets but I never knew the action ones had an additional gimmick. So if Im right then the sets are like this:

the hinges are like ball joints, they can rotate 360 and they bend back and forth. Much like other Hasbro action figures, sorta like the Hero Mashers, (though I didn't try to pull them apart)
They don't click or ratchet. The plastic has a silky surface.
other questions? She's an xmas present so I won't be "completely" unboxing till later. ;)
I personally think the hind legs should be thicker at the top near the rump, but I see that it would limit movement.
I hope they make lots more of these.

i don't think they will be target exclusives, i think target is the only place they've showed up so far.I just saw them in my local Target today and they don't seem to have "Target Exclusive" stickers on them. No luck at TRU or Walmart but they seem to be getting around!
may i ask which ponies you saw at Target. besides CocoI saw the majority of the mane 6 at mine including Coco
may i ask which ponies you saw at Target. besides CocoRainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Twilight Sparkle were the only other ones I remember. ^^;
Open coco for customization. Found That the head comes off nicely and can easily be rehaired but the body will be a little more difficult to take apart I'm thinking I'll probably cut the tail off and just make a new tail stub, and glue it into the hole. Otherwise I'm not sure how these can be customized easily. love to see what other people find, I'll try to post my pictures tonight, meaning tomorrow
I haven't gotten these but in regards to the hair, i know that the G4 bagged ponies had non-nylon tails (possibly polypropylene,). Found that little information out with a dye test of one pony (Rarity was the test subject). Do you guys think that they may have switched to that kind of hair for these releases?

I wanna see how I can go about customizing one of these :)
I'm trying to keep up, but is Texas one of the only places that have the articulated ponies!? I had no idea they are kind of hard to find for right now! They are everywhere here and we have had them since around Thanksgiving! Some are $7.99 and the slightly bigger accessory ones are $9.99 I think! Like every single Target has 6 different kinds! Allen, Fairview, Plano, Frisco, and Richardson Targets all have em! I have only bought Coco and Twilight so far because I've been buying tsum tsums at Target! xD I have pictures on my IG but can post here if you guys want! I have pictures of all of them in-store

My Coco just has a regular old screw holding her body together on her underside. Are you saying that the body is also glued together? in addition to the screw?
What is the texture difference in polypropylene? I'm curious, how does the dye test work?I threw away the tail but to answer your question, poly has a different texture for sure. It' a bit courser and not as smooth as Nylon. As for the dye test, poly will not take -any- dye. Normally someone would try normal Rit dye on ponies or hair. I tried RIT Dyemore for synthetics and it's supposed to work on synthetic materials.. Case in point, I could not dye my polyester ribbon with normal RIT dye but I was able to dye it with RIT Dyemore.. and I was able to dye a lock of holloween wig hair (which again will not take normal RIT dye)
it sounds like fishing line to me. :... (Lol except Fishing line isn't brushable XD
OK. Update. The Pegasus Ponies that are poseable don't have poseable wings. At least not the RD one with Red shoes. :sad:She's one of the basic ones, i think people were talking about the more expensive version with Tank.
does this mean all the new ponies have this new (horrible) type of hair?Don't know.. maybe, maybe not.. I would think that if they changed the hair at all they should at least go with Saran type hair.. could be they are trying to make production cost less for them...
Interesting! Thanks for sharing. off topic, but maybe I will try that with the ribbon hair AJ I got recently and see if it floats too.Worth a shot.. the tail is harder to test while on the pony because it is kind of short XD
I think this proves that G4 ponies are way too thin. Even looking at the non-articulated ponies, the cutie marks go two far down the leg because they have almost to haunch. Similarly, there is no haunch to the articulated ponies, it's just a narrow leg.
These people need to go to a farm and actually look at a pony and how they move.
It just dawned on me what the legs look like to me. They make me think of the legs of a crab. :|
Starlight Glimmer; Aw man it's going to be tough to wait for the EE ver. once the CMM ver. hits stores. I think I'd prefer her without the ribbon though.

I noticed no one ended up posting more info about the interior workings and dismantling these guys, so I've posted some tutorials with lots of pictures over in the Customs Area. The thread is here: Clicky! (http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,376484.0.html)

What I'm curious about is if they can do a sit.
Sort of sittingLol, I like the "sort of sitting" pose. It seems like an odd position one may have to take when crammed into a packed airplane.

The body and head of the pony makes sitting odd... because no joints
