:shocked:
I love them! Celestia's head looks gross, but I love them! Ooh, they have poses! Their heads are actually all kind of weird. I love them!!
Edit: I thought Lyra's pose looked familiar, and now I realize she's totally in the Mimic pose. That's wonderful :P
-
These are so cute!!
-
So would these be considered G4.5?
-
So would these be considered G4.5?
I don't know about that. G3.5 was very different from G3, while these are the same character models used in the show since the beginning... Maybe it's G4.3 :P
-
Woah!! That's a big change! Ironically, I feel like that's what the toyline maybe should have been from the start? :P They look a lot closer to the show characters, IMO! I like the dynamic poses, too!
-
These are weird.
-
Love them! Please just do not overwhelm us with main six variables!
-
Wow I like them and the poses! Lyra is so cute! G4.5 has arrived! Please can we have more boy molds now?
-
Oh, I like these. I hope they are real.
Wow I like them and the poses! Lyra is so cute! G4.5 has arrived! Please can we have more boy molds now?
And can they please not have troll hair?
-
I don't like how every slight change is a "NEW .5 GENERATION OMG!!!" If we did that with G1 the Sweetheart Sisters would have been G1.5.
-
Okay, I am really liking these. I guess this means I'll have to get a bunch of characters all over again.
-
They all appear to be looking up all the time. And their limbs and bodies are really slender now for some reason.
-
Yeah, maybe I need to see them in person, but they look really off to me. I'll refrain from picking at the details that are throwing me off and be general. These look like scaled up 3rd party mini toys (like the kinders, fast food toys, busy book figures, etc.), and those were small cheap bonus like toys so you could kind of look past the imperfections.
I'm being honest when I say that while the standard lifeless pose of the G4s got stale fast, I genuinely loved the look and shape of them. they may not have matched the show style perfectly, but they were a great likeness and were super cute for being a three dimensional interpretation of a 2D style.
But hey, if people prefer these than what's my opinion matter? If this is a response from Hasbro that they are listening to complaints about how lazy they were getting with the G4 brushables, I'm all for it.
-
I like that the slender legs makes poses possible but I don't like that Celestia's leg and possibly Lyra's leg don't look like they have the bones and everything in the right place. It makes me feel like the designers need to do some more research on horse anatomy. And something about the heads is throughing me off. I think that I like the old heads better. Or maybe it's just the unicorn eyes. Maybe they need to redesign those.
But I like the possibility of more varied expressions. And I really like the new poses. But I really, really, REALLY hope that they make some new ponies as well, not just more of the same characters we are already glutted with.
I will also add that the hair just looks too real for fakies to me. It looks like the right texture and the right color consistent to previous releases. Though if they were going to try to make them look exactly like the show then Twilight's body and hair still isn't correct.
-
I love them!
-
God I hope these are fake ._.
-
Ack, they're horrifying! Their proportions are all wrong and their legs look broken! They look all... noodly! And these are going to stand out SO MUCH from existing G4. So much for uniformity, which was one of my favorite parts of the gen :pout:
I hope these are just stolen molds made from posing the articulated ones, and not real.

Agreed, the dimensions and proportions for the old molds were better. But yeah, if hasbros listening then that's a plus I guess.
-
I... really hope these are fake.. I dunno... they look too good to be fakes, but they don't look quite 'right', either.. either way, I'm not a fan. Something about them just doesn't sit right with me :s

This is how I feel, too. Yeah, G4 really could have benefited from more poses (and characters, geez), but there's just something genuinely charming and appealing about them. I can't put my finger on what it is, exactly, but these just don't have the same kind of charm.
I don't like how every slight change is a "NEW .5 GENERATION OMG!!!" If we did that with G1 the Sweetheart Sisters would have been G1.5.
Yeah, this. (Although to be fair, Sweetheart Sisters were in addition to the normal G1s, they didn't replace them or anything) It made sense to give G3.5 a different name since it was so different; these are similar enough to the current G4s that personally I don't think it's worth differentiating between the two.
-
I love that these are new, animated poses!! Cute!
-
These are interesting and weird at the same time. I like the fact there are actual poses but there is still a lot of anatomy problems there..
If these are legit then they are going for the more pointed snouts like they did with the Pop Ponies (at least for the normal size ponies). I like that the normal sized ponies have a better looking horn but I don't car much for how the heads look, I know G4 has always had round golfball heads but these definitely show it.. I wonder if head swapping could be possible on these?
-
Here comes a thought (that might alarm you :P) My theory is these are for the 2017 movie. Hasbro wants it to be special, and they wouldn't release regular old brushables so they want to do something BIG for the movie, y'know? To make it stand out. I think the regular ones we're used to will come back the year after the movie is released.

Well I'm kind of surprised RD, Pinkie, and Rarity are not seen XD
Two Twilights, one AJ, One Fluttershy, Celestia, and I guess since Lyra has a fan favorite
-
How very interesting. I'm not sure how I feel about them yet but I will be waiting to hear more about them. They look too put together to be fakies but I wonder if they are real if they will replace the current design or be a separate thing. Very strange!
-
Am I alone in thinking they look completely hideous? -_-
-

-

I think we all might have opinion changes when we see them in person xD
-
Huh. These are interesting. I don't know what it is that seems a little off about them though. I think they're cute, and I like the new shape. Seems more accurate in a way, but...maybe the necks are sort of long? I think I'll like them more when I can style the hair properly.
-
Lyra's open mouth really throws her off, and something about Celestia is off. I'm not a fan. But the others? Wow they're cute! I'd absolutely buy a couple with closed mouths, even with Hasbro's quality control issues, because they're just so adorable. I wish G4 had looked like this from the start!
-
Lyra's open mouth is fine, I think what throws her off is her eyes because they look like they are in the wrong spot.
Looking at them again, something seems off with their ears to me
-

Maybe but I've basically quite buying G4s in the last year or two. I bought Starlight but that's been it from this year's batch. The new design is not particularly endearing themselves to me!
-

Her eyes are definitely off but her open mouth is really just bizarre. I don't think it looks good with such a weirdly stylized pony muzzle. The closed ones are cute but the open one is like... kind of freaky. It might look better painted.
-
Hmm I'm not sure how I feel about these guys.
They're adorable, but I think I'd need to see them in person to figure out how I really feel.
I'd like to see Celestia with her hair down because I think it would offset her neck looking off. Lyra's wonky eye placement is definitely creepy as well.
I'd probably get them, but I also think I'd prefer the idea that they're a limited release for the movie. I'm very fond of the current pony molds regardless of how cute those new ones look.
-
Still in first reaction mode so I'm not really sure what to think of them yet. Maybe they'll grow on me later.
-
I like em! A new fresh take! in dynamic poses? YES! Can't wait to see what Fashion Style size will look like.
-
Love the expressiveness, something looks a bit off.
Is it the ears that look a little too high up? Maybe because the legs are so skinny and wide-set?
-
If these are a thing, then I hope these are only for the movie and not the new face of G4
-

The ears are actually smaller and are too far back and kind of at the wrong angle? Granted the current ears on G4s are in the wrong spot but their size makes up for that. The standing poses are bleh.. even smaller bodies with big heads.. actually I think the body shape is fine up till the neck area then it goes all weird
Post Merge: September 10, 2016, 05:43:24 PM
also I think some of us seem to be tearing these ponies apart before we even know what they are really XD
Or at least I think I am, lol
-
These are SO CUTE. Oh my gosh. Different, animated poses! I like the regular G4 brushables but I LOVE these!! Most G4 poses are so static, even the Funko line was disappointing in that regard (except the mini Discord, he was awesome). I hope to see more characters in this style soon!
...Though I have no idea why Applejack always gets eyebrows when no one else does. If she's going to get a face detail that no one else gets, shouldn't it be..........freckles?
-
God I hope these are fake ._.
Either Hasbro looked into our G5 Speculation thread and picked up some of the more questionable joke ideas, or Pokey the Pony from Gumby is the father of these things. :lol:
Seriously though, they look like cheapo knock offs.
-
I wonder if any will show up on Ebay
-
Those are actually kinda cute!! Celestia does look a bit strange imo, though. ^^;
-
Those are really interesting - I'm not immediately a fan of them, to be honest. Like, if they turn out to be an actual release, I'm not sure if I'd collect them. I do like how they look even more like the animated characters.
I'd be sad if G4s as we know them go away, I've really become a fan of them.
-
WOAHEOAHEOAHWOAH OMG!
:frolic::frolic::frolic:
I JUST woke up for my 11 hour shift, and this was the FIRST thing I saw!!!!!! AMAZING! I have to buy these ASAP! :freak:
THESE THINGS ARE SO FREAKIN KAWAII!
Do we know if these are replacing the standard playful pony brushable line? These look like they could be for a promotion or a special release. They are too high quality to be Mcdonalds toys IMO. If these replace playful ponies I will be so happy!
-
I wonder if any will show up on Ebay
I hope so, I actually wanna make my final judgment when I have em in hand. Maybe I'll end up liking em?
-
...more than one pose?!?!?! oh, how lovely!!
-

I agree, I wouldn't mind seeing if I could custom them
-
Meh...Not a fan. But I didn't like G2,3.5 or 4 at first but they all grew on me. Maybe these will too. But Celestias wings look really wonky to me.
-
As I've stated before in my three years on this forum, I'm no fan of the regular G4 moulds - yet I don't necessarily dislike them. These figures are essentially what happen when designers are pushed so far to make their toys 'cartoony' that it teeters on the edge on the dreaded uncanny valley - at least G3.5's were cute, if anatomically incorrect.
Also, Celestia, what exactly happened to your neck (she sorta reminds me of an ugly Creamsicle)?
-
I'm not too sure I like them either. The pointed nose and muzzle really bugs me. Also the ear angles look weird with the rounded heads.
However....I will say this. I like the poses, AND the size of the unicorns horns in comparison to their bodies. That is my main beef with the current G4 brushable ugh. Those dinky diglett unicorn horns. Bleh.
I will wait to see more pictures/characters/final products till I decide how I really feel. I'll still probably buy 1 or 2 because buying ponies is fun.
-
Here is why im flipping out over them, whatever these cute things are! :P
Celestia is not only white, but her eyes are gorgeous and her shoes are painted!
Lyra! GREEN PONY! Im not a fan of the greens, but I feel like we need more G4 toys that are green!
Multiple poses!!!!!!!!!
I love the curvy and narowness of the legs like how they are in the show, plus they have those CUTE nosies that stick up! There bodies looks more like they do in the show!
OMG. I have decided to cave and get these, its alllllllllll im thinking about right now I cant concentrate on my work!
-
i... definitely LIKE them, but i dont like them MORE than the current g4 mold. I hope they keep making standard g4s and dont REPLACE them with these but make these as a separate line....
-
I loooove them, especially Lyra!
And yes, the nubby horns on the current G4 unicorns are so annoying. It's supposed to be the main feature of a unicorn and they made them shorter than their ears.
-
Hmmmm... super interesting!
They look off to me. I'm not really a fan based on these pictures. Maybe they would grow on me if I saw them IRL
Anyway, I'm curious to see if they'll turn out to be real, and if they'll be a movie tie-in!

Here's a new Fluttershy one. She looks so happy. :D

Ooooooooh my god. This is so great! Im ADDICTED to this thread! Juding by the logo included, I wonder if these are fakies? The eye paint quality looks a little lower than the official hasbro brushables bit im in LOVE!
DOES ANYONE HAVE A LINK!? :bateyes:

I don't know if this is what you're seeing but, besides the fact that there is no painted detail (green tongue) the designer missed their anatomy 101 class. Instead of having the jaw drop and extending the face, the ponies muzzle rises up. Compare the placement of the tip of Lyra's nose to the back of the ear with any other character with a closed mouth. :blink:
Edit; This would affect the wonky eyes too, the muzzle being so high up the face makes the eyes look way too low, like they're melting/drooping off. Though the eyes look like they're printed too low in general? I guess these are still prototypes and/or rejects so they aren't necessarily an accurate representation.
-
Celestia's leg looks boneless xD Not really liking them right now, maybe I have to see them in person without box hair
-
I they are so close to being being amazing to me; more poses, still brushable, nice torso and neck, but then the heads and eyes look so strange.
-
Part of me thinks these look like the designers took the worst aspects (at least, my least favorite) of the G4 ponies and exaggerated them. The giant head, the noodly legs, the pointed noses. The other part of me is like, different poses and very dynamic poses, yes! Expressions, yes! A mixed reaction, for sure.

That's exactly it! Her nose seemed way too high but I couldn't place it 100%, but you're right! The jaw is at the same exact level as the rest of the head. That doesn't make any sense at all.
I really hope they fix that before the final release if these are official. The rest of Lyra's pose is just adorable. I'm sure it would be easy to fix with a custom but its way easier just to buy a pony that's sculpted properly from the start.
-
Here's a new Fluttershy one. She looks so happy. :D

Sooooo two standing poses for Fluttershy? Well that is kind of bleh, at least her mouth open looks better than Lyra's? I think.. hard to tell with how bright the image is XD
-
I'm...not sure I like them. The Fluttershy's quite cute but I like G4 as it is
-
I love these! Crossing my fingers for Muffins and waiting for Rarity in this new form!
They look more "on model" to Lauren Faust's pitch drawings for the show than they do to the final characters in the show. The expressive limbs, pointy muzzles, face arrangements, and pear-shaped bodies really give that impression.
-
ok since Lyra's muzzle looks wonky, I thought I'd see what the difference was with lines XD Sadly the Twilight I chose (the posed one) I think is slightly turned but you'd get the gist XD

-
Looks like someone pinched the nose and tugged a bit hard, but I might consider if they are real. :devious:
-
I think that I could get past the heads if they can just keep the legs from being too noodley. I definitly think the "unicorn" eyes are contributing to the issue. They aren't angled correctly on the head. True in a real horse they would be closer to the correct angle but the faces on FiM are so anthropomorphised that the eyes should be angled to face forward. That's why Fluttershy and AJ don't bother me nearly as much. And really, Rarity is the only one who has that eye shape. If they are going to go to all this trouble to make new moulds to be more show accurate, they could at least design some new "unicorn" eyes.
-
On one hand, i like that they have different poses.On the other hand, there is something with these that look strange.Maybe too cartoony like someone said.I definitely prefer regular g4 design but there is some good ideas behind these.
-
One of the things I want to see if the current G4 heads would fit on these. I would not might transplanting the old heads and transplanting the new horse onto the old heads either XD I really don't care for the shape of the muzzle which has no chin, at least the current ones do.. sort of
-
Has anyone seen this? Japanese "comic and quiz"- the animation style looks quite like this new toy style!!!

The eyes, that's it!! That's what bothers me about these! I couldn't put my finger on it before I saw that close up of Lyra XD Yeah, the eyes are really weirdly off-center on these. It looks okay on the older ones but with Lyra's open/raised mouth it just throws everything off. I hope that's fixed for the final release, if these ARE legit.
Celestia is not only white, but her eyes are gorgeous and her shoes are painted!
Is it bad that I read this and thought "oh, they're probably fake then, Hasbro would never bother to paint small details like that"? XD
-
Ugh. :(
-
I wouldn't be surprised if these are the exclusive merch for Japan.
-
God I hope these are fake ._.
Either Hasbro looked into our G5 Speculation thread and picked up some of the more questionable joke ideas, or Pokey the Pony from Gumby is the father of these things. :lol:
Seriously though, they look like cheapo knock offs.
Pokey?! *can't stop laughing*
Ewwwwwwwww I am searching for eyebleach as we speak. UGH the legs! I hate rubber-hose animation at the best of times! And the noses - what animal are we supposed to be emulating?
Seriously Hasbro, it feels like y'all go down the rabbit hole of Crazy when new designs for MLP come out... why can't we go back to HORSE PLAY?

-
When I first saw the pic, I immediately thought 'fakies.' I'm not sure why... maybe because the plastic and hair seem to be low quality...? Also the not painted tongue on Lyra and Fluttershy. But that might just be the direction Hasbro is going these days...
I'll wait to see them in person before I make a final decision. I do like the poses, they are really cute and dynamic even though they are cartoon-y. Like the Lyra one, so similar to Mimic!
If this style does replace the regular G4 style releases, I think we should start calling them G4.5. That's the difference between something like the Sweetheart Sister ponies, and the G3.5 ponies. When G3.5 came along, it COMPLETELY replaced G3. We didn't have any of the original mold-style hanging around. Unlike in G1, where we had lots of different molds and different styles, but we would come back to the original molds as well. Looks like only time will tell.
Also I do think it's funny that AJ brushables get eyebrows no matter what her release is: regular, Fashion Style, new release, etc. It makes no sense. Kinda like how Rainbow Dash ALWAYS has hair that matches her old G3 releases (red through green in the mane, blue and purple in the tail) rather than actually like what she has in the show. It's not like they couldn't fit the other colors in there...
-
I can name one other positive, their tails look higher. You know how irked I've been with the tail placement on G4s
Post Merge: September 11, 2016, 01:03:59 PM
then again the non-standing still poses look like they are in a higher placement.. normal static standing poses look like they are still in the same spot...
-
They remind me of the art in the pony world, like the stained glass windows and such, which I adore. I love them. I wish we'd had merchandising in that art style, so I'll probably pick these up, just for the styling.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if these are the exclusive merch for Japan.
Oh I hope not! ): I could never pay the inflated prices they'd have in that case, but I could see that... their style definitely does seem great for a Japanese audience. Hopefully, if they're legit, Hasbro is trying to market on that style everywhere and not just a specific country, or countries. Kawaii Japanese-ish things are really popular right now.

You're right! That might be why I love them so much. The old Equestrian art is beautiful. I'd love to see these ponies customized to match some of the art.

It just occurred to me, but, isn't the g4 movie slated for later this year, or next year? Could these be a movie line?

That is one speculation
That's what I've been suspecting. There's also been small images that show just a slightly altered art style in the film (due to a change in animation program) so they may be for that. I dunno how long it takes things like this to come to the market, but the film is set to release early october of next year.
-
I just find it odd, though, that they would do whole new molds *just* for the movie when they haven't had a problem with the regular line as it is even though the show was so popular. I mean I can understand if they are overhauling the whole line. But I can't understand doing so just for the movie and then going back to the regular line.
My personal opinion is that these will replace the current line if they do well. Maybe they have been looking at the popularity of the mini figures and trying to see what they can translate to the brushables. I.e. More poses and more expressiveness.
-
I like 'em! They have spunk to them.
-
Woah!! That's a big change! Ironically, I feel like that's what the toyline maybe should have been from the start? :P They look a lot closer to the show characters, IMO! I like the dynamic poses, too!
I agree! It's like the sculptors actually watched the show and had a look at the model sheets or something. Cute!
-
If they are legit, at least they have brushable hair. I was worried that Hasbro was going to get rid of that since the newest line is more action figure than standard MLP, and the "show accurate hair" thing has become such a sticking point with a large group of fans.
-
I think they are hideous. Please let them be fakies ...

perhaps its not a fair comparison, but hasbro does that with transformers, which I also collect. They have different movie toys for each movie but they've also had generations running for years anyway, and each new show gets new toys. what with last gen's sideways into g3.5, and guardians of harmony dropping, it looks to ME like theyre mimicking a business style thats working well on that side of things; with multiple lines for one brand running simultaneously, IE, regular brushables + GoH + movie line + Equestria Girls (tho, not for much longer, i suspect. i hope the minis stay tho).
oh yeah, since we're talking about it i figured i'd post the picture from tara strong's instragram with the odd twilight standee with especially suspect ears (https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DMKl3ZYBA1k/V4jT5uOXLJI/AAAAAAACnEg/4m3lITxmryAivdbKiYu6lFqX5suKj6KTwCLcB/s1600/CnWI6XhUMAIS2Ee.jpg)

I'm seriously hoping these are knock offs. Otherwise I'm completely finished with MLP.

I want to clobber Hasbro and their toy designers over the head with a Breyer and shout:
This is what a horse looks like idiots!
:pout:

It's the new mini line "My Little Rainbow Power Puff Deer" :P
But in all seriousness though, if these are real then I only hope it's for the sake of the movie, and not a permanent thing

To be fair, MLP has never been about producing "realistic" horses. Like, the babies always have "puppy" proportions with short legs, whereas real foals have looong legs almost as tall as their mom. It would be distressing to see a real foal with legs like the Newborn Twins or the Teeny Tiny ponies.
Getting back to the toys, I too noticed the tails were higher up on the rump on some of them than on the current G4s, which I'm VERY happy about. The placement is so awkward on the current G4s.

True, but 1,2 and 3 looked far more horse-like. You can tell it's a horse at least.
-
I like them! But, if they'e going to go to the trouble of redesigning the line, you'd think they'd at least use the right eye shapes.
-
i can't decide how i feel about them, mostly because of their noodly limbs :blink:
Lyra's pose is cute, but her eyes look kind of strange.
-
I'm surprised I actually like these. I have to agree though on the unicorn eyes being off.
-
Cute, they kinda look more like pokemon characters now
-
I just find it odd, though, that they would do whole new molds *just* for the movie when they haven't had a problem with the regular line as it is even though the show was so popular. I mean I can understand if they are overhauling the whole line. But I can't understand doing so just for the movie and then going back to the regular line.
My personal opinion is that these will replace the current line if they do well. Maybe they have been looking at the popularity of the mini figures and trying to see what they can translate to the brushables. I.e. More poses and more expressiveness.
perhaps its not a fair comparison, but hasbro does that with transformers, which I also collect. They have different movie toys for each movie but they've also had generations running for years anyway, and each new show gets new toys. what with last gen's sideways into g3.5, and guardians of harmony dropping, it looks to ME like theyre mimicking a business style thats working well on that side of things; with multiple lines for one brand running simultaneously, IE, regular brushables + GoH + movie line + Equestria Girls (tho, not for much longer, i suspect. i hope the minis stay tho).
oh yeah, since we're talking about it i figured i'd post the picture from tara strong's instragram with the odd twilight standee with especially suspect ears (https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DMKl3ZYBA1k/V4jT5uOXLJI/AAAAAAACnEg/4m3lITxmryAivdbKiYu6lFqX5suKj6KTwCLcB/s1600/CnWI6XhUMAIS2Ee.jpg)
Yes, but each of those lines have their own niche. Mini figures are tiny non-brushables. GoH are the non-brushable action figures. Fashion styles are significantly larger.
But these new ponies occupy the same spot as the regular brushables. They are the same size and have brushable hair. And then on top of that, they are all the same characters. At least in g1 when you had ponies who had a different design it was because they were a different type of pony. Sweet heart sisters were "teenage" ponies and each was her own character. You didn't have a regular version of Firefly and then a SHS version of Firefly.
And what I find the biggest argument for me against a movie-only release is that there have been plenty of vocal fans complaining how the toys weren't accurate enough to the show for years. And yet Hasbro hasn't changed the basic design for 6 years because presumably they didn't see it as a significant enough factor in their sales. They are masters at reusing the same moulds over and over.
So if it didn't matter before that the toys weren't super accurate then why would it matter now? If they have decided that it *does* matter now, then yeah, redesign the whole line. If it doesn't matter then why design multiple completely new moulds just for the movie? It would save them lots more money to just continue with the current designs.
-
I'm not sure how I feel about these yet. They sort of remind me of McDonalds ponies with weird heads.

Hasbro has been doing this a lot! The light-up princesses that are out right now look exactly like the light-up Happy Meal ponies from 2013. :P Now that's progress, Hasbro!
-
How many years was G3 around before the rebranding? Hasbro always said they like to keep things refreshed.
-
Movie tie ins would have a bigger budget that could be used to create new molds. I personally don't think this is a permanent change because if it was it wouldn't just be the regular standard size brushables that need to change. The fashion styles and styling ponies would also need to change. Also they don't quite look like they do in the show. They look more like they do in the movie art.
-
Oh gosh I love these! I'm dying to get a Lyra Heartstrings and make a Mimic out of her LOL. I hope we'll get to see the rest of the Mane 6. Rainbow Dash, in particular. I can't wait to see what they do with her!
-
it's true about having a bigger budget with movie figures. for example when Hasbro an Cartoon Network worked on Transformers Animated the toys they produced for that show were Considerably better: More individual parts (see high assembly cost), stylized and sophisticated. They exactly matched the cartoon style. Not to mention they specifically hired a well known designer to make it happen.
I could see this happen again with MLP. even if they develop it in house.
-
i saw a picture of these from the front on tumblr.... they look so silly from the front (or rainbow dash at least) i might just buy one for the laughs
-

Wait, you saw one of Rainbow Dash?
-
MLPMerch has a picture of Dash. :)
-
I looked after I made my post.
The faces from the front, mostly with the closed mouth, remind me of Build a Bear ponies a little.
I hope they don't only have Lyra and Twilight in more dynamic poses though... Also the eyes on Dash look out of place in the open mouth figure...
-
I rather like these. Some of the proportions are really wonky but they just look so darn happy and dynamic. I also feel that they match the look of the G4 show much better than the current brushables, which is nice. Why bother having a tie-in show if you barely resemble it! I'm willing to bet that this is G4.5 we're looking at right now. Still hoping for a cool G5 revival soon, but I'm okay with these in the meantime, haha.
-
I have serious mixed emotions on these...I think they are cute but the open mouth looks a bit janky to me...I like that the horns are no longer small nubs though! The more poses is nice and adds to some more customizing possibilities. Mostly I want to see what they make Luna and Muffins look like...
-
Mostly I want to see what they make Luna and Muffins look like...
If they make them.. Luna is more likely than Muffins right now though
-
Wow, how did I miss this?
They are so cute! They look like cartoons- I do LOVE the dynamic poses- finally!!! I hope they do more...
Post Merge: September 13, 2016, 04:54:57 PM
Err, but I don't love the open mouths. Kinda weird. But I love the wings + poses + the fact that they don't look so much the saaaaame
I wonder what they are and how they will appear? They do look to nice and expensive and unique to be knock offs.
-
I looked at the Arena just now and thought this said "Rebranding Bumblebees spotted?" and I thought, "It's finally happened, Bumblebee is invading every single Hasbro property."

Ooooo, does the new toy finally give RD her full spectrum hair? -goes to look- Oh, no it does not. :(
I'm going to have to pay someone to rehair just to get an RD with a full rainbow mane! Someday...
-

HAHAHA after being "lost" by Hasbro once, someone has sworn it will never happen again!
-
I found a few more listings on Taobao! I must admit Rainbow Dash is dreadfully cute in these little poses!
-
I can't find em anywhere in taobao. Then again I'm not putting much effort into it, I guess I better hope they pop up on ebay sometime
-
I feel like their eyes are to big. But the poses are cute
-
I dont like them. The dynamic legs seems melted. And why is Applejack the only with eyebrows instead of her freckles? Nothing for me. >_<
-
It's strange, the more I look at these the less I like them. At first I was like wow, but I'm feeling a bit meh now, I'll see how I feel at release... Whenever that is.
They look like hard plastic, like McDonald ponies. They're cute but a little oddly proportioned and expressioned. I do like Twilight's dynamic pose though, she looks pretty cool. ^.^

It's weird because I don't even collect Transformers but I read it the same way at first...!
-
One of the listings says when you translate the text to English, " each pony has hasbro logo stamped underneath leg" or something of the sort. Gotta love Google translate and its silly translations. :P Maybe this is a sign these may be released!? I know there are a lot of fakies out there with the Hasbro logo, but considering these are a new unique design altogether (like no molds to copy the body from to get a logo?). Also these are about 9cm tall it seems? Thats about 3 inches- just like the brushables out now! I have high hopes for these making a bigger release! :biggrin:
-
Every time I look at these I find something else wrong with them. Those boneless noodle legs, those oversized heads on thin and broken necks, those set-back and unfocused eyes, those lazily raised mouths to avoid having to lower the jaw of the mold...
Normally I'm a total G4 apologist, and get excited every time something new pops up, but I just can't make myself like these. The running Twilight especially irks me, with how close she was to being cool - they got her wings right, her legs right and her pose right, but her head and neck just look so off that she ends up being my personal least favorite.
I'm glad people like them, though, because I feel like we're going to be seeing a lot of these going forward.
-
I'm not a huge fan of the opened mouths and skinny legs. I'll probably pass.
-
I feel mixed about these. I welcome anything new at this point but they got a serious case of noodle legs.
Celestia actually looks a lot less accurate then her previous toys...
-
After having a few days to think about these, the thing bothering me about them is not anything to do with the new sculpt but that they went though the trouble of updating the sculpt to be more "show accurate" but didn't bother updating the eye printing or hair colors or putting cutie marks on both sides. The initial shock of them being different has worn off and I now feel they are cute in their own way but I'm not sure the future of my collecting if they do in fact replace the current brushables. If they include boys and interesting new characters I may be swayed but I don't want to rebuy ones I already have and I don't know if I want to break the cohesion of my collection by switching to s new style. I would really like to see a side by side pic of these with a current brushable. I think it's going to take seeing in person for me to have a definite opinion on them. Of course we don't know if these are replacements or not so I could be overthinking them but they are quite a mystery.
-
They are up on eBay! Apparently sounding like they are movie figures? Rarity and Pinkie found as well! I'm obsessed with Lyra, also liking a few others as well! They are probably 100% real too btw this seller doesn't list fakes.

Wow those open mouths are downright terrifying from the front! They really do look like pigs, and not in a good way :x (Pigs are my favorite animal.)
I still hope this change is permanent. The expressive poses are such a breathe of fresh air! They're a lot nicer than the normal G4 molds, even with the terribly done mouths.
-
Wonder if this means Lyra will play a significant role in the movie, or if they just needed a 7th character release for the line...

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that thought of pigs. That Fluttershy is just...yucky. Nice to have new things but I too think I will pass.
-
They are real. In that listing you can see that Pinkie Pie has a production code on her hoof which states she was made not long ago. The 26th of August this year to be exact.
-
Are there more pictures at the listing? I can't find it, would love it if someone would PM me it please! Thanks!
Personally I think they're cute!
-
Eh....I really don't like the open mouth ones either. They look really weird from the front angle. Pinkie looks too pig-like and balloon headed. AJ actually looks to be the cutest out of these to me. She looks fairly normal.
-
Although, on the plus side, now I could get a bunch of super cute piggie customs easier. The face is already sculpted!
-
Oh my
-
RARITY IS ADORABLE! I just saw another listing on TB! AND THAT PINKIE PIE! My husband is FRAKING OUT over her! :squee: :squee: :squee:
ALL of these are simply ADORABLE OMG! I REALLY hope these are released!

Wonky anatomy or not, the open mouth pose is freaking cute. They all look so happy.
-
Pinkie actually looks okay, but good lord Rarity what happened to you? What's wrong with her leg? And her NECK?
Hopefully these will be like EqGs and improve in mold, pose and quality as time goes on. And Hasbro, you have no excuse not to release more boy ponies after this!
-
Ooh I kinda like these...lots of new stuff coming out that I want again!
-
OMG these look so accurate, especially with their proportions, the heads actually look like the show as well. And the eyes are actually closer to the actual size of the show :snicker:
-
Ooh I kinda like these...lots of new stuff coming out that I want again!
How? They're the bazillion and tenth re-release of most of the main characters and 1 fan favorite.
-
Well I'll throw in my two cents worth.
I think there hideous. They look like pigs. And if this is the way the line is going I can save my money and focus obg1 and other things or get the few Fs and the transparent pony's and be good.
I personally don't like them. Hiwever a lot of people do and that's fine. But there just not my cup of tea and remind me of knock off fakes.
-

Hey hey hey... there may actually be some people out there that aren't totally bothered by rereleases of the same characters like most of us are. No need to question it. It's all a matter of opinion. :)
Besides, I think it has more to do with the fact that they are in poses and have expressions vs the same mold that we've been getting for years. To me, that alone is something worth being excited over. Do I think these could be improved? Definitely, but only time will tell.
-
Ok, I've made up my mind properly after those pics. I don't mind the ones with closed mouths, but the open mouths just look really bad. I hope they don't replace the current G4 line completely
-

Because frankly, I like those characters in the show, and I only didn't like the G4 toyline because buying the same static, unexpressive mold over and over again makes toy collecting dull for me. These are all slightly different and have lots of personality!
-
Pinkie is the only one who doesn't look weird with the open mouth :lol:
I hope they grow on me cause I'm gonna buy them regardless lmao

Sorry, I don't always make myself clear. ^^;

I think she meant, "How are these new?" Balloon heads and broken legs or not, they're still the mane 6 and Celestia - several variations thereof, too, which is not reassuring for new characters so far.
-
I usually defend G4 but... nope not this time.
I guess I'm gonna stop collecting G4s for a while...
I like the old model better.
-

My guess is that they are a limited run based on the MLP movie-
Of course they could also be fast food toys but they look to nice for that. It is a shame they didn't make the heads just a tad smaller but I still like them, especially the wings on Celestia!
I guess we'll never know until we finally see packaging.
I do truly appreciate the dynamic poses- but yes, they should have rethought those open mouths a bit...

I really do hope we see other characters. FiM has no shortage of great background characters and BOY PONIES to choose from. Mix it up a little, Hasbro!

I'd love a brushable Thunder Lane and Twilight Sky.
-
I have some in my hands right now, they are having the codes under the hooves, and the quality seems similar to previous releases. I still think they look hideous though. Going to post some photos as soon as I am at home tonight.

Look at that ridiculous horn on Celestia. It reminds me of that episode with the poison ivy stuff or what it was called. It looks stupid.

I quite like her wings. They are the proper size, finally.
The quality is normal, the hair is also normal quality. I cannot tell if the heads can be swapped with the previous releases, they seem to be a tiny bit thinner, but I am not sure.
Overall, I can say that I don't like them. I won't put them up for display.
-
Wow, that head-body mismatch looks terrible! Is it as bad in person?
-
I'll have to see them in person before making my final judgement, but with the exception of Celestia, I think these are much cuter than regular G4s :lovey:
-
Wow, that head-body mismatch looks terrible! Is it as bad in person?
Only for AJ.
-

Well that's, kind of good? But if they're like current G4s, which the mismatch makes me think, they'll all stop matching eventually anyways.
I wish Hasbro would put a little bit of effort into brushables...
-
Thanks for the pictures, Honeycomb! I figured they would be similar in size to the brushables we already have!!!! They look amazing in photos besides Celestias silly bent horn! xD I wonder if you boil it maybe it will go back to being straight? I boiled a few thrift store find G3's legs that were tertibly bend and they went back to their normal shape
-
Look at that ridiculous horn on Celestia. It reminds me of that episode with the poison ivy stuff or what it was called. It looks stupid.
I think it was called Poison Joke.
I don't think they look too bad but I'd still try a head swap because I really don't like how the muzzles are on these (at least with the closed mouthed ones.
I also see the problem that is making the heads a bit weird for a lot of us. They made their eyes much much larger than the current eyes.
-
Oh ok maybe they're not so bad, but Celestia's wings are really weird (too big for her?)
Do the ones with a raised hoof balance well? They look like they might fall over quite easily to me
-
Eeesh, yeah, the eyes are a bit too big for my liking. Their heads are too small for eyes that big to look "right", imo.
-
Where'd you get Celestia, Honeycomb? :o the lot I bought from ebay didn't include her...
-
Hmm, Lyra and running Twilight's poses look better here. I wonder if Rarity would also look better?
-
Where'd you get Celestia, Honeycomb? :o the lot I bought from ebay didn't include her...
Same here! I'd love a Celestia, but instead I only found the lot with two Twilight's instead.
-
I've come into the problem with the bent horn on my Funko Mini Celestia. I guess it's kind of unavoidable when you have a softer plastic and a long and slender shape. I'm hoping these are factory rejects, and that the errors won't be as glaring on the ones on shelves.
-
What neck plugs do they have? Similar to older g4 brushables?
-
Thanks for the pics, Honeycomb! I love these new brushables. They're so cute and lively, much more like the characters in the show than the regular brushables. I freaking love Celestia's huge wings!!
-
From the comparison pictures, I like all of them except Celestia. Really curious to see them in person!
-
I really appreciate the pics Honeycomb!!
I love the wing mold on Twilight. Celestia's horn doesn't bother me, I like the curved horns. The open mouth still looks silly, especially on fluttershy, but oh well. Would love to customize one of these girls!
-
I'm excited! I love the new poses (in general), though the comparison pics of AJ give me pause....
I do see making some fun customs from some of these poses (the dynamic ones) as well as having some for the collection...just not sure if I'll get all of them (some look cuter than others)
-
The ones with the closed mouths look more horse-like to me (in the face) than the current G4s. I think because with these new heads the top of the muzzle is flat, rather than the whole muzzle being rounded. Real horses are pretty angular in the head. Also they look happy, whereas the mouths on the current ones always looked a little :| to me.
The open mouthed ones look less "horsey" in the face but I think they're adorable so I don't mind, LOL. I've always been partial to open-mouth poses (Skydancer, Waterfire, etc).
I do wonder why Applejack ALWAYS has eyebrow when no one else does. :P
Edit: Is it just me or are the new head molds a bit less, er, bulbous in the foreheads than the old ones? I am really pleased with these and seriously tempted to snag some from Taobao right now.
-
The ones with the closed mouths look more horse-like to me (in the face) than the current G4s. I think because with these new heads the top of the muzzle is flat, rather than the whole muzzle being rounded. Real horses are pretty angular in the head. Also they look happy, whereas the mouths on the current ones always looked a little :| to me.

She secretly shaves them.

I have to disagree here with the face looking more "horsey". From the profile angle AJ's nose looks upturned.

Look at that ridiculous horn on Celestia. It reminds me of that episode with the poison ivy stuff or what it was called. It looks stupid.

I quite like her wings. They are the proper size, finally.
The quality is normal, the hair is also normal quality. I cannot tell if the heads can be swapped with the previous releases, they seem to be a tiny bit thinner, but I am not sure.
Overall, I can say that I don't like them. I won't put them up for display.
hmm with actual product pictures and not just the promo shots I think I rather like them, specially since Celestia and Twlight got properly proportioned wings and aren't dealing with too small wings -person pet peeve of mine don't mind me-
I actually like the face as it gives them a bit more personality than what we have now though the pointy snout makes me giggle.
I kind snort at some of the responses we have to these cause how many have been saying 'we need new poses! need something new!! tired of the same old same old.' and boom we have something different and plently are now complaining about that. -shrug-
This might be the last ditch effort to save the line if what it kind of feels like specially since the pony aisles are dwindling down to give way to new content.

The open mouth version of these has me thinking about the G2 PC game. When the ponies would talk, only the upper portion of their mouth would move. "I'm Sweetberry, and this is my cottage!"

I LOVE Celestia! She's gorgeous! I don't know why so many don't like her, she's my favorite of the bunch. The only one I'm not liking is Fluttershy but I think it's her eyes with the open mouth.

Closed mouth Rarity and Dash and open mouth AJ.
-
I'm really curious about why they are coming in two poses each :0 (Not complaining about that fact, just curious!)
-
Also, the new Rarity and Applejack have new eye designs which are similar to the ones they have in the show. :)
-

Maybe some come with new playsets?!
-
I hate to sound like a complainer but why doesn't AJ, RD, and Fluttershy get actual poses? The open mouth poses is just the standing pose that the close mouth has :unsure:
-
I love the wing and horn proportions on the new ones, and I love the outrageous proportions on celestia! It's crazy but I love it
-
Do far the only one I don't really like is the Rarity with a raised hoof. I hope we see a Luna pop up soon.
-
Also, the new Rarity and Applejack have new eye designs which are similar to the ones they have in the show. :)
I noticed that too! Open-mouthed AJ gets her proper eyes and her eyebrows have fled. Excellent, excellent.
-
does anyone know where i can buy celestia?
-
The poses are cute. I like the bigger wings. But I'm sorry those eyes kill it for me. That's ridiculous. I won't be buying them because of that. There's a point where bigger is not better.

Wow, those are adorable! I'm not the biggest fan of the Guardians of Harmony packaging though. But this could mean that we get more BOYS! If they're trying to market MLP to be gender neutral, and they're making Shining Armor this early in the line we could see a Big Macintosh or Thunderlane, meaning, we get molds for BOYS! I'm pretty excited!
Also, I'm pretty happy for a regular version of Flurry too. The crystal version was cute but they didn't color in the other parts of her hair! Now we have a proper Flurry!
-
Hm. Im not sure if I like them or not. They are kinda cute but I dont really like Cadance´s face too much :/
-
Hm. Im not sure if I like them or not. They are kinda cute but I dont really like Cadance´s face too much :/
Yeah, I noticed something off about it too. Sort of looks...balloony? If that makes sense?
-
Thr packaging looks just like the Guardians of Harmony line. Too bad that those two don't get poses like the others.
-

Their heads are really big but keep in mind this is an insanely bad angle. We're looking up at the ponies, there's really poor lighting, the box makes extra shadows, and Cadence is off to the side. I'm sure she'll be somewhat balloony out of the box like the other new molds but its not gonna be as bad at it looks in this photo.
-
Not sure I like the new Cadance or Shining Armour, but Flurry Heart is cute
-
Hopefully we see these two out of the box.
I would like to see this Shining Armor compared to the older releases of him
-
At least this Shining Armor appears to have regular hair, as opposed to his usual troll hair lol. I like the non opaque flurry, but still not sold on these new molds.

Is he lacking a tail? :huh:
-
Still don't like the molds (and I *hate* the GoH packaging!!), but.... does Shining Armour have actual hair?!?
-
I think I'll pass on these 2.... Shining still doesn't have regular brushable hair and I was never fond of Cadance, plus her head looks like a balloon...
-
I think the heads are a bit big but the body molds are mostly great. Celestia and now Cadance especially seem to have really gotten much more accurate. Instead of their flanks being flush with their stomachs, you can see how they bulge out like a real horse's hip joint would be. I think the front legs on the normal ponies seem a little thin but they're better than the old style.
-
Hm, GoH type packaging... I'm very interested to see if these will supplant the current style brushables completely. I think... I might be done collecting if they do. Not that I don't like them, I just don't know if I want to start on them. :/
-
Oh great . . . more of the core 6 just in new poses. I've so been wanting that.
Lyra's pretty cute, but I think I'll only be interested in these if they are the same size and fit in with the current brushables . . . and they release some new characters.
-
I was hoping that seeing Shining Armor was going to make me want these more. But no luck. I guess I'm going to have to really look at them in person. But I have every other MLP incarnation. So I'll probably end up getting a few of these.
-
I can't believe they are finally releasing him without a huge playset or multipack. And plus it looks like he might be rerootable straight out of the box!
-
I can't believe they are finally releasing him without a huge playset or multipack. And plus it looks like he might be rerootable straight out of the box!
Umm but he is in a multi-pack. :what:

It's not a huge multipack tho. One extra pony is a lot better than 5.
-
I think they're super cute and I love that SA has rooted hair! I'm hoping for more non mane six characters to pop up
-
I love Shining Armor's angular legs and now he has REAL HAIR!!! AHH!!! I love all of these!
-
You know what else I like? Cadance isn't hot pink.
-
While I would adore it if we got new poses and I love the new horns, something about how they are modeled throws me off... They look bloated and transitions look awkward, their noses are waaay too sharp. They dont seem to have much for eye moldings so I bet they are gonna have a lot of derped eyes.
To be truthful, I think they look very much like fakies as they really dont seem to be as finely sculped as the older ponies... I really dont know how to feel about them... maybe that will change if they start appearing in stores...

Didn't Big Mac have a dream sequence where he was a unicorn? Someone please customize Shining Armor into unicorn!Big Mac. :P

Its behind his legs. Hard to see because the photo is very bad.
-
Well that's strange... all the previously revealed GoH figures were all molded, but these are brushables... And it doesn't say Guardians of Harmony on the box that we can see in that particular photo.
I wonder if this means GoH is replacing the regular line of brushables, or will the regular line of toys be getting the GoH packaging..? Or will the regular line of brushables still be released separately, and these will be (as some have speculated) a new toy line just based on the movie (and then they gave it GoH style packaging for some reason...).

If they're rebranding like the new logo and molds suggest to some, its probably a total rebrand that includes packaging. If they want to make the line more gender neutral like the blue logo suggests it makes sense to tone down the ridiculously pink-pink-pink packaging. I really hope its a rebrand and these new molds + less pink are permanent. They might not be the best but they're a lot better than the stale posed re-releases we've had for years.
-
These are interesting. I need to see them in person, but I'm definitely intrigued.
-

An alicorn, actually! So you'd have to cut off Cadence's wings and horn and then graft both onto him :lol:
[Chrysalis voice] Fusion is just a cheap tactic to make weak ponies stronger. Quit embarrassing yourselves!

Oh man, what if the Princesses were all actually fusions and THAT'S why they have a horn + wings . . . And Nightmare Moon was an unbalanced fusion and that's why she was so homicidal . . .
Now I want to see four ponies fused together with, like, two unicorn horns and six legs.

They're... A little odd. Their heads look too round somehow, Cadance's symbol looks too small, and Shining Armor's eyes look weird. I hope it's just the photo making it look that way. But hey, there's a boy pony, yay for variety :D

Shining Armor was the only brushable boy that's been out for awhile for the G4 era :/ we're now just getting Soarin' who is the 2nd brushable for G4. So that's not very much variety...

^ Previous version had so many sharp, flat planes that he looked like Kryton from Red Dwarf. There was also something strange about his stomach. I can't quite articulate it, but it wasn't rounded enough.

I'm happy they didn't use troll hair for him again. I hate how they did that for the 1st Shining Armor, it looks like he's gotta go fast! XD

I don't really count the Soarin FS because he is a reused female mold like the Shining Armor FS was a reused female mold.. I guess with FS ponies they are a little more gender neutral in the mold but still

If I remember rightly, her cutie mark changed between two designs throughout A Canterlot Wedding. Without checking the wiki, I think the change might have been the red gem sometimes being there and sometimes not. I know after that episode it stayed consistent with one design that didn't have the red gem

Nope. I still cannot force myself to find these new molds attractive. While I do like that Hasbro is trying to reinvent the brushable line in a more 'show-accurate' fashion, I think that the issue is that FiM's character designs simply do not aesthetically work when translated into physical toys - they are overly angular and stylized, which may work in for a show to allow for more economic animation and design, but not necessarily for figures, especially these bizarre creatures with stumpy legs, pointed muzzles and weird necks. They just look ugly - I guess it all factors down to personal taste, but I still long for the cute and streamlined yet realistic designs of G1 and G3 (G2 was a departure in terms of designs, but at least the molds have a sense of elegance. The revamped brushables merely look goofy).
I'm sticking with the theories from the G5 Assumptions thread. Damn it, where's my 100,000-piece ponies and my Princess Sweetie Apple Sparkle Cutie Dazzle? The Royal Family Set doesn't even come with a vial for those collector tears!

They honestly kinda remind me how I (and a lot of other people) tend to draw G4 style ponies xD
-
Will be hard to formulate an opinion about the ponies until I see them in person. The angle on this Cadance looks like she is suffering from the strange side look when they are straight on. It's so hard to make them look true to character and not strange IRL. I will most definitely be getting this set when it comes out. Excited to see new pony toys, but my wallet isn't... it got used to not buying ponies.

That Philomena though :o I'll have to buy her from someone. Anyone planning on buying the Celestia/Fluttershy set who doesn't want the phoenix included?

Oh no, haha. The other picture of Cadance is not helping :lol:
I love the new Spike tho!

So quick question.. Are we going to called these G4.5s or just reboots?
-
So quick question.. Are we going to called these G4.5s or just reboots?
I think the answer to that will depend on if this style sticks around as the new line of brushables permanently, or if it's just a side line like Guardians of Harmony.
The G3.5's completely replaced the G3 line of MLP's, so it made sense that we collectors changed the name to reflect that. If the old style of brushables will no longer be available after these are out, I would consider calling these G4.5, yeah.

But G3.5 looked completely different from g3. These guys are just the g4s in more poses - id consider them still G4, since they're the roughly same size and look very similar stylistically. But you're right, I guess we'll have to wait and see where this goes before making any judgements.

So ive been freaking out over here about these G4 reboot toys in their packaging, im glad to know these are real because im dying to get my paws on the Cadance/Shining/Flurry Heart set!!!!!
I actually have these toys coming in the mail SUPER soooooon, all im missing are the royal family set and Celestia! I have 11 different ponies from this new style coming in the mail! Im glad I caved and got the set of 11 because I dont like the playsets in all of these, although that philomina figure is pretty sweet.
Hmm Cadance's head does look a bit odd! Especially that horn LOL
-
I think I'm going to buy the sets just for Philomena and Spike, lol. So I hope people want to buy these new ponies loose. ^^;

Also, more importantly, Hasbro also changed the style of the animation. This looks more like they are trying to be more faithful to the animation.
That angle is not flattering for Cadence at all.
-
Awe how cute! It's nice how they look more cartoonish!
-
Hm... I'd like Shining Armor, but Cadance is kind of ugly. Maybe I'll get used to her :P
-
I'm more distracted by Celestia's noodle-leg than Cadance's baloon-head. XD
-
When they come out with previously unreleased characters, then I will buy some of these. At this point, I can only justify the set with Shining armor/Flurry Heart. Philomena is cute but I can't bring myself to buy the whole set for her. Especially since I also can't get past Celestia's noodle leg.
To be honest, I'm starting to get whiplash from all of the various lines Hasbro has going on. Regular brushables, brushables with various gimmicks, Fashion Style, Styling size, mini figures, Equestria girls, EG minis, the Playskool line, and various store exclusive lines. And Guardians of Harmony is only just starting to hit shelves and we are already seeing a new/sub line?
How can they keep up all of these lines at once? What is going to the wayside to make room for this new line? Did they always plan this as part of the Guardians of Harmony line? I was under the impression that the GoH was going to be molded/action figures only and it hasn't been out long enough to judge how well it's going to do. I'm just confused.

I think this is the year of reboots/redesigns. MH is now getting their reboot lines out, Barbie got a slight redesign not too long ago either, EQG seems to have did some sort of redesign by just changing their brushable dolls to the chibier EQG Minis (even though there might still be some of the brushables floating around).. I'm thinking these will probably replace the current brushable, but that doesn't mean we won't have stores who are still clinging onto the older ones XD

Well, I have two reasons why I'm not yet convinced these will replace the current brushables. 1: the packaging. I just can't see them using this packaging for the entire mlp line. 2: we've only seen sets thus far. If we ever see a simple, single carded pony in this design it will go farther in convincing me.

Point take, they still have yet to show the packaging for the rest of the ones we've seen

Yeah, even if they're trying to rebrand the FiM line to attract both genders, I can't see them going entirely from pink boxes to blue ones...

That Celestia is a beauty! <3 I wish HB made more bent leg poses - Lyra's is cute!

Cadance's head is terrifying. She looks like a balloon alien. What on earth happened there?
I totally love that rubber Celestia, though. She's gorgeous! I really like that AJ and Twilight, too.

Those legs remind me of these fakies…

i'm not a big fan of these, something just looks off.Maybe that will change when i'll see them in person, but for now i prefer the current g4 style.And what did they do to my favorite princess? Cadance doesn't have a balloon for head!

Finally, Twilight Sparkle with a PROPER UNICORN HORN, not a teensy bump on her head.
Cadence looks like an alien, LOL. But I will buy her set for Flurry Heart and Shining Armor.

Cadance looks a bit...different? Overall I'm very excited for these though! Its wonderful to have some more show accurate ponies!

Having seen these in person (at Ponycon), I've gotta say, I really don't like them.. their proportions are waaay off and their heads really do look like balloons.. >_< I hope they'll just be a sideline.

I think the style of the show doesn't translate well to 3D, because really, those heads are basically a circle on screen. It would help if the eyes were placed right.

Yes, this!! Some things just don't look right in 3D.

SERIOUSLY. It's not that hard, Hasbro! Look at the show you've made to sell your product, then look at your product. Now look back at your show. Now back at your product. Does your product look like the show? No, but it could if you bothered to move the eyes up slightly and shrink em down a bit.
I mean, some of the mane 6 are as spot-on as any translation of FiM to irl is going to get, but then you get others like Cadence and Lyra.

It sucks that these seem to be replacing the old brushables, but I'm not entirely surprised.. :( I hope the blind bags don't get rebooted as well, otherwise I probably won't be buying any G4 from now on (since it looks like Equestria Girls are getting replaced by the minis too).

It's okay to like them! :) I'm sure they will have their own fans. All gens of ponies have their fans! I actually like a few of these molds, but that open mouth one, when the pony is facing right at the 'camera', the angle looks really bad...
-
I love the open mouth mold. :) Although I think it would look better if they shifted the eyes up slightly.
LOL, Applejack still has eyebrows.
-
These new designs make me smile!
Are they odd? Yes. But they make me smile so I hope this is the main line! Wonder what the babies will look like :)

Aww I like the little purses- sure beats putting them in little plastic sacks!
I don't mind these replacing the current brushables. I've not even been picking up current brushables anymore. They're cute but they've all been the same static pose for so many years, these lively little ponies are a welcome replacement
And as for the 'creepy' open mouth ponies... looks like my BBE babies are getting photoshoot buddies! :devious:

Not at all! I think these are great. I think the eye placement/size could use some work, but I'm glad we're getting ponies with expressions and poses.
I actually find it a little funny that people complained about the lack of poses, then we get poses, and people complain about that! You can't please everyone, right? :P
-
LOL, Applejack still has eyebrows.
I seriously want to corner a Hasbro executive and demand to know why AJ is the only pony who ever gets eyebrows! And why they can't figure out how to get all 6 stripes of color into RD's mane.

*Crawls from under the rock where I lived for the past....months...half yearish...*

-
Honestly, I think they look kinda cute from the front. It's just those LOW SUNKEN EYES AAAAGH. But I actually kind of like the head and face molds, and body proportions, and everything but the broken legs and necks we've seen on Lyra, Celestia and Rarity. If they keep making new poses, like they are with blindbags, maybe they'll get better over time? Maybe eventually they'll correct those broken bits. If that happens, I'll probably buy these.
One more quick complaint - anyone else notice the hair quality? From those pictures, it does not look good. The later waves of headband and pearlized brushables have had very cheap hair, and I'm worried that might become the new normal hair material. My Cadence from the Crystal Castle is the same story, as are the mane 6 from those carry-case sets.
-
I like the closed mouth ones and hope Cadence is just a bad angle since even the current brushables can look bad from the wrong angle. The open mouth ones however look cheap because the inside of the mouth is unpainted.

The hair quality is actually pretty bad. I ordered a set from eBay a few weeks ago and had to let them all soak in warm water and conditioner for about a day before I was able to untangle that mess.

I'm not a Hasbro exec but I have a couple of theories about the mane. Since G4 is so small if they did all 6 colors each stripe would be too thin and they would end up blending into each other. They probably could get away with 5 but then the tail would be single color and that wouldn't look as good. Or the hairing machines simply can't be programmed for more than 4 stripes.

Since from what I've heard the hair quality is nice once it is treated I wonder if they used to treat it at the factory but started skipping that step since it wasn't able to be easily automated.

Cadance looks okay from the side, but so bald, oh my goodness. And I can't get over that she looks like a grey alien from the front. We've certainly come a long way from G3 brushables...a long way in the wrong direction.
It also annoys me that they keep giving Shining Armor those Big Mac eyes and they keep refusing to make a Big Mac brushable.
Not to be a negative Nancy. I do like these new brushables overall. I was getting really tired of all the static poses from Hasbro and Funko. It's sad when the McDonalds ponies are more dynamic than the actual toyline.

Goodness gracious, Cadance is just hideous, there's no getting away from it. I think I'm happy with the old mold, thank you very much. But I actually really like the open mouth pose, it looks adorably happy :D
-
Yeah, when you see them side-by-side, the new molds certainly resemble donkeys. :lol:
I'm also not feeling the way Cadance looks. I mean, they all have bigger heads than usual, but hers looks terrible. The eyes, the way she kinda looks bald from the side? Nope.
-
Yeah Cadence still looks pretty weird, but in her defense she looks kinda wonky in the show too. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one bugged by they eyes they always give Shining Armor >,>
I'm still really surprised that the new models are a little bigger. Do you think this would carry over to the fashion style versions too?
-
I think Cadance might look better if she had a crown and her hair was styled. Right now she suffers from that huge forehead look that most unicorns have when their hair is swept back.

i kinda really like the new direction we're going. i was getting tired of the same mold sans or plus wings/horn for every single pony. i kind of like it, its stylized, it's new, and personally? it fits the show way better. have you seen celestias legs in the show?

i've been really disappointed that we havent even really had different POSES for g4 ponies, especially brushables?? like come On its pretty boring.. i agree that they definitely need some tweaking. but at least we are getting some style!!
-
Ugh my opinion on these went from "they're okay" to "oh god no stop".
It's nice to see them attempt new poses but aside from Celestia and a few others.. these are awful and I don't really like them. This is our g4.5 isn't it? :yikes:
-
This is our g4.5 isn't it? :yikes:
Well better than them giving use something even worse, lol
I think in time these will grow on some people. G3.5 took a while to grow on some collectors and at some point in time G2 took time to grow on American collectors (I say American because apparently they were way more popular across the ocean :))

That is one of the problems with this generation of MLP.. they can't really recreate the hair styles for the characters without molded hair and to put it mildly, unappealing to some of us if they went that route xD
-
yeah, the hair doesn't help. But like I said before, I think the main problem is that some things just don't look right when translated to a 3D medium... the noodle legs and balloon heads look fine animated (plus Cadance's hairstyle helps w/ her head like Wardah mentioned), but in real life? Not so much.
It definitely looks like we're heading into G4.5 here.. Normally I hesitate to call any little change a ".5" but if these are indeed replacing the normal brushables like it appears, I'd say that's a big enough change to warrant its own name. That's just my opinion, though, of course.

The hair actually looks pretty nice from this picture. How is it in person?
The hair was terrible right out of the bag. It was tangled and very uneven, but that may have a lot to do with ordering these from China. I let them soak in warm water and conditioner for a few hours before attempting to comb and style it, which worked out. The hair is much softer and nicer now.
-
Yes, I agree that it seems they are trying to copy the style of the show more--but that doesn't make them better than the original G4 brushables! :P Some things really just don't translate to three dimensions...
-
I still like them.
And I think Flurry Heart is wearing a painted diaper, that's the blue we're seeing.
-
It does seem like they're trying to be more show accurate, which is why I hesitate to jump on the "this is G4.5, oh nooooo!" bandwagon. If it were G4.5, wouldn't that mean the show style would change too? It doesn't seem like that's happening. Can't the toys still be G4 since, you know, they're based off of the G4 show?
I dunno, maybe I don't fully understand the criteria for adding that .5 to a gen. Someone explain this to me, lol :what:

I think it could be made to look better even with the current hair. Some of it just needs to be swept forward instead of all of it to the back. More plugs would help but I don't think they are necessary.

Well if the purpose of changing the toy line from the G4 style to this new G4.5 style is to try to better match the show, then it wouldn't make any sense to also try to change the show, right? The point of the new line seems to be to make the toys look more like how the show has looked all along?
There's always been an issue with the toy line not perfectly matching up with the cartoon shows. This is where some newer fans get confused and think MLP Tales counts as G2 just because it was the second cartoon. I think people are calling this line G4.5 because it looks like it's replacing G4 (like how G3.5 replaced G3) not because it does or does not match the show.
-
Yeah, I'd put more importance on what's going on with the toys than the corresponding cartoon when deciding what does/doesn't "count" as its own generation, if that makes sense. Otherwise Tales would be its own gen and god knows what G2 would be (since that didn't *have* a cartoon).
-
To me G4.5 would imply a much bigger shift in style. G3.5 was radically different from G3. These are different from the current G4s, but not that different.

That's more in line with what I was thinking.
Thanks for the explanations, though. I'm still going with this not being G4.5. It just doesn't seem that different to me.
-
Personally I'm fine with calling in G4.5 but that's just because I want some kind of simple term to refer to these new brushables as. So until someone can come up with another term for the "new style" brushables, I'll be sticking with 4.5! It definitely isn't as big a shift as 3.5 was though.

Rebranded brushables is a bit long for my taste, I love the generation way of referring to them because it's so short and sweet.
-
On MLPMerch we call them the "Reboot Series"
-
Reboot is a term often associated with tv shows and movies, though, so that might get confusing too. @_@
-
As far as we know the Fashion Styles and Blind Bags are staying the same style. It's just the playful size brushables that are changing. If it was a new generation or even half generation everything would change not just one line. Wouldn't "new pose brushables" be an easy enough way to describe them?
-
I thought a while back we were hypothetically calling the new brushables g4.3? why not something like that :biggrin:

Or even "posed brushables". I think that would be simple enough without having to add the .5 to it. Like, I'm pretty sure that everyone who has seen these new style brushables would know what we're saying when we're like "Oh yeah, the posed brushables!" or "The new pose brushables are nice."

Only until Hasbro redesigns again and the "new" designs become the old designs. Also it could be confused with the jointed/posable brushables.
Maybe we should call them the "GoH brushables" since they are (mostly) showing up in Guardians of Harmony packaging?

To me G4.5 would imply a much bigger shift in style. G3.5 was radically different from G3. These are different from the current G4s, but not that different.
I agree. If that were the case then EG would be G4.5 or G5.
But EG wasn't pony.. they were pony based dolls and a completely different line

Though that second listing is for the Friendship is Magic Collection which are the mini figures. So not the first male earth pony in that size.
I am so glad that the mini figure sets will continue.
And this also goes a long way toward establishing that the whole line is going to get this new packaging if the mini figures are getting it too.

I'm calling them 4.5 until we get some confirmation that they're not the new brushables, but it really look like they're replacing the old molds. They're a drastic change from the original G4 molds.

It's not as drastic as G3 to G3.5 but for many of the ponies it is a huge change. I do wonder when they will be released though...

At this point it would seem logical that they will present them at the NY toy fair. But sometimes some of the stuff they show there does end up on shelves early.

They were still a drastic change and departure. And incredibly creepy to boot.
These don't feel like G4.5 either.

Hmm... they are re-releasing the first wave of the carry case brushables with their old/current molds: http://www.mlpmerch.com/2016/10/folding-playsets-getting-re-released.html

Hasbro development meeting:
Guy1: Hey Bill, if we put the same toy in a new package and make it blue instead of pink, you think the parents will buy it again?
Guy2: Hank, you're a genius! Let's give ourselves raises!

Could be that they simply had a lot of the toys left that hadn't been packaged yet and the wanted them to match the upcoming line.

No, EQG are/were a sideline, a spin-off of the main line. Ponyville was a sideline in G3 and no one was saying they should be G3.5....

As well as when things changed from Rainbow Rocks to Cutie Mark Magic and again from Cutie Mark Magic to Explore Equestria. It's just for uniformity when packaging changes in the middle of an item's run. I personally like that they are going for less pink. It looks like they finally got the memo that just because something is targeted towards girls doesn't mean it needs to be slathered in pink.

Seriously. The funny thing is G1 MLP hardly ever had pink as the main background color. Usually it was white, blue, and/or green.

I agree this is probably what happened. I picture the poor production teams and employees having to quickly re-organize constantly to keep up with the current branding.

That's all for now...I could have more soon...
I can also say that there will be other characters than the mane 6...can't say who but you'll find out at the toy fair. They'll be pretty lit. A source (who I can't exactly say) sent me these and could possibly have more later but these are scheduled for next year. It won't be all mane 6 rereleases, as they're here to somewhat establish the line. There will be new characters as well. These all lead up to the MLP movie, which will have LOADS of playsets and assorted stuff. 2017 is (in their words) MLP's biggest year since 1984.

Right? I don't think even painting the mouth would improve the look much.
I hope they keep the Gala ones the way they are! With the mouth closed. >_<

I want to give proper credit for these images so not that stealing website. So is it ok to give you credit SweetLemons? I'm surprised nobody has submitted these to us. :p
Oh and about the Twisty Twirly Hair Ponies/Yarn ones. Can you transform those into Perfume Puff ponies? XD

More brushable boys hopefully

If you can remove the wax infusion from the yarn. They sound like the CKPs that were the Crimp-N-Curl one

"Lyra Heartstrings drinking a beverage!!" is my new favourite thing XD
Thanks for the photos! I LOVE seeing concept stuff like this. But ick, G4s look really weird with open mouths.. especially the wonky mouth they keep giving them. >_< It just doesn't look *right*, gah.
-
The "Cheerilee trotting" pose reminds me of the classic Lickety-Split pose. And Lyra's pose reminds me of Glory's. I am so ready for these.
For those who don't like the open mouths, do you think it would be possible to pop the head off a current G4 and stick it on these?

The trotting pose is a bit floppy looking, I don't think Hasbro knows how to legs. And I do love it :silly:

Are we really going to get a shining armor who is not fashion style sized, and brush able without troll hair?

Since Hasbro is having such a hard time with their artistic work on these it makes me not feel so bad about my crazy pony drawings. I don't know what to think. I never really cared for G4 all that much in the first place and now to me their noses look like another animal. I am still trying to figure out what animal I am thinking of. I know plenty of collectors will love any changes that come out.

Ok, so I wasn't around for G3 or 3.5 at all but I've been wondering, is there precedent for the .5 gen to have new versions of harder to find ponies? For example, could we see a 4.5 Star Swirl or Diamond Tiara? Or are completely new ones more likely? Was it a healthy mix of both last time?

IIRC G3.5 had only the core seven, so no new versions of rare g3s.We don't know for this line yet.

Since they're making/have made Cadance and Shining Armor with Flurry Heart, I'd say it's a possibility that they might do some of the other fan favorites as well, unless that is just a special release.

Well, we already know they are doing Cheerilee and Lyra. And I wouldn't even classify Cheerilee as a fan favorite.

I'm confused as to why this would be called 4.5.
G3.5 was not only called this way because the mold changed, the lore and world changed too. The world G3 had build up (Unicornia/Spike/Butterfly Island...) was suddenly gone. The only reason it was still linked to G3 was because the main characters were still the same from the core 7 G3 days. Aside from that, pretty much everything changed.
These are not like that at all.
These are simply new molds. Molds that are suppossed to mimick the show style closer. There isn't a big style change anywhere and the lore sure did not change in any way. Heck, we should have gotten new molds AGES AGO.
Characters had several molds in the past and noone had trouble with that. That's were things like "the donkey pose" or "the diva pose" came from in the first place. This really is not a new sub-gen. People are way too eager to throw around "G4.5!" every time some change happens.
(Like how some wanted Equestria Girls to be G4.5)
-
Generations are about the toys, not the shows.

The .5 is primarily for the toys and these new molds are a style change that seem to be replacing the current style of the line (at least for the main brushable line). Using G3 Donkey and Diva poses are not style changes for that line, just new poses in the same style of the line.
I would say something about the show itself but that is a completely different forum XD
-
Yes, G4 is kinda unique because all the previous gens of the toys had animation/commercials/etc. that were developed to support and follow the toy line, while G4 kinda feels like the opposite, the toy line is now being developed to follow the show. So it's hard to hold G4 to the same critiques as G3 and G3.5.
Like, for G3.5, it wasn't that the toys changed because the lore and animation changed, but actually visa versa. The lore and animation changed because they were changing the toy line. But with G4, even if they completely rehauled and changed the toy line, it probably wouldn't be reflected much in the show (unless the show was going in that direction anyway).
That being said, I think most people are just going to call this "the new style" or something similar until it's not new anymore lol. It's looking more and more like this is going to stick around and replace the regular brushables, though, so it looks like the toy line is going to be fundamentally different moving forward. (Not counting the side-lines like EG and GoH.) But only time will tell for sure.
-
Generations are about the toys, not the shows.
Even when there weren't shows there was lore behind them. Sometimes it was just backcard stores and sometimes it was enriched with a cartoon.

That's true, but there was a major lore change at the end of g1 with "Tales" yet we still call those ponies g1 because the toys didn't fundamentally change.

It's all good calling them the "new style" now. But eventually people are going to want to have a designation for this style. Like in 5 years if someone is listing a Fluttershy for sale and they want to distinguish whether she is early G4 or later G4 they will want an easily identifiable term that most In the community will recognize.
-
well, from what I've gathered by reading old threads and such, there wasn't really a consensus reached on what G3.5 should be called until G4 started, right?
I still say that the argument "well Equestria Girls isn't called G4.5" is silly, EQG is just a sideline, it's like saying G3 Ponyvilles should be "G3.5" or Sweetheart Sisters should be "G1.5".
I keep going back and forth on what I think these should be called, my mind's changing by the minute... atm I kind of feel like.. if the Fashion Styles and blindbags change to match these too, it should be G4.5, but if not, idk. But I'm not sure honestly.. I think we should just wait and see where this goes before trying to decide what to call these new ponies, personally.
-
I agree about Equestria Girls but because Hasbro has conveniently given us a name to call them by. Same thing for Guardians of Harmony. If Hasbro announces a name for these new molds/line then we can just call them that.

"Tales" was kinda a side thing like Equestria Girls imho. Like except for the one line of ponies that tied into it, most stuff still portrayed the ponies as less anthropomorphized than Tales.

By the looks of it right now, Fashion Style and Styling will remain the same.. Blind Bags are another story because they are constantly starting to change these with adding new molds.. especially for the story packs.. The newest story pack that was revealed looks like it has a Rarity that kind of mimics the newer style a little but it's hard to say...
-
I agree that the generations are defined by toys, but I just don't think these are very different from the current toys. I think to us, as collectors, the differences are exaggerated after six years of seeing the exact same molds over and over.
I mean, comparing them to the McDonalds ponies, which are G4, they really don't seem very different?

As for ease of identifying them in sales post, there are so many versions of the Mane Six that won't people need pictures to tell them apart anyway? Otherwise how is someone looking for Fluttershy-with-tinsel going to guarantee that they don't get Fluttershy-with-translucent-body instead?

The toys are fine, but yikes! Those are terrible representations of Fluttershy, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash's gala dresses. The big advantage plastic clothes has over fabric clothes is that plastic clothes can be made to look just like the show, but here it's like they went "Eh, Twilight's dress is blue, close enough." Rarity would faint if she saw these, lol.
-
I actually think Twilight and Rainbow look ok :o it's just Fluttershy that looks awful. Did they even try with her?
Not as good as other versions of the dresses (Pop Pinkie and AJ, FS Rainbow and Rarity, and the upcoming blindbag Rarity), imo.
-
clothing ones are eh to me but I'm excited about the posed ones!
-
Yikes Rarity's pose in that single looks like her leg is broke. o.0
At least we can honestly say G4 was the first MLP line to have a pose where the pony is pointing at their own face with their hoof. XD I wonder if that toy can stand on its own.

It obvious from the show that ponies don't follow real horse anatomy so why would the toys be any different? To me it doesn't look broken but then again I know absolutely nothing about real horse anatomy.
-
I am actually glad that Hasbro is trying to make an effort, for the past years I haven't bought hardly any new brushables because of their poor quality and re-releases of the same ponies over and over. But now that we are starting to see these new changes, we know that Hasbro is at least trying to work on their toys,so they must know that people are getting tired of their re-releases. Just because they are trying to make a new set of brushables does not make it better, they obviously don't have nearly as good hair as they did in the 2011-2012 era, and they don't look at a real horse's anatomy.
I appreciate what they are trying to do, but their toys just keep becoming more and more less horselike.
-
Had a feeling those Gala ones wouldn't come out like the concept. :cry: A G4 set with the gala outfits is what I've wanted since that episode and they just can't get them right. They gave them such a weird shape just so the tail could fit through...which I think is totally unnecessary seeing how terrible the hair quality in the tails of G4s have been lately. Unless they changed it, I don't think that's a part of the pony they want to be showing off...
-
I had bought the new Celestia and she came in today, so I put her next to the older one (pardon the mess in the background ):
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
I was surprised on how she is almost the same height as the original one. I thiught she would either be bigger and quite smaller, and she is pretty in person! Dare I say, I think I like the new Celestia more than the older one.
-
I may be one of the few people who ignore the .5. To me G3 is G3, even though those ponies have a slightly different style they're not different enough in my opinion to call them anything other than G3.
Same goes for these new edition ponies, they're G4, there is not really a huge difference from the original G4 for me to say it's a whole new generation of ponies.
Same thing with Sea Ponies, or Sweetheart Sisters or Flutter Ponies. They have a slightly different body style but anyone who is educated in MLP knows the difference and that it's still part of the first generation G1 of MLP.
Anyone who is into MLP looking at these ponies are not going to mistake them for G1 or G2.
And I'll take everyone back to the past. G1 ponies were never called G1 ponies until the ponies in the 90's started showing up in stores, that's when the G2 label came into existance. The only reason we started using the generation G1/G2 in the collecting community was because Hasbro reused some of the names from G1 on G2 ponies.
So as a collector to help with confusion, we started using the generation tag to help identify which pony with the same name we were talking about. I don't thing we have to take the numbering system for generations to far - and most of us can take pictures of what we're talking about if there is confusion. Gotta remember back in the day it wasn't as easy to load up pictures and post them...now everyone has a camera or phone that can snap a pic, etc.

Dear Hasbro,
Have you ever seen an open mouth? Like, anywhere? On a horse? A dog? A person?!
That's not how mouths work!!!! The noes does not lift up! The jaw goes down!
Please throw this mold out. Why are you so obsessed with it?! These could be so cute if their mouths weren't straight out of a nightmare.
Thank you,
Someone who knows what an open mouth looks like

But now that we are starting to see these new changes, we know that Hasbro is at least trying to work on their toys,so they must know that people are getting tired of their re-releases. Just because they are trying to make a new set of brushables does not make it better, they obviously don't have nearly as good hair as they did in the 2011-2012 era, and they don't look at a real horse's anatomy.
I appreciate what they are trying to do, but their toys just keep becoming more and more less horselike.
Well they are based on the show and in the show they have a wider range of motion than I guess a real horse would. What I wonder is since I never saw it and know nothing about horse anatomy do they follow the rules of horse anatomy in Tales? From the description they sound pretty humanized.
-
The Tales character toys were done in G1 molds, so yes, they were pretty accurately horse-like in their anatomy. For pastel pony toys, anyway.
-
I haven't seen it in a while, but from what I remember Tales' animation style - the anatomy and such - was about the same as MLP and Friends when they were walking on all fours and more human-y/anthropomorphized when they were on their hind legs. If that makes sense, heh.
-
The ponies in Tales often moved in more human ways. But the toys used the same g1 molds as other g1s.
What we have here is the dichotomy of the people who are fans of mlp toys because they are "ponies." And those who are fans of the cartoon *despite* it being about "ponies."
It doesn't take a great deal of knowledge about horses to know that one can't possibly bend its front legs around to touch it's face. Really it's just more evidence that the brand has moved a long way from its origins as a horse toy to now being a cartoon driven toy.

Why don't we just give the new poses names like G1 and G3 had different names for different poses. (ex shy pose, shy Pegasus, walking, diva, and donkey poses)
"Large alicorn pose", "princess pose", "small alicorn pose"
"Walking unicorn pose", "Walking Pegasus pose",
"Laughing Pegasus", "Laughing unicorn"
etc.
We could ID them by saying "fluttershy in Laughing Pegasus pose (FS/LP)"
Im not very creative, Im sure someone can come up with better pose names.

Maybe the current G4 brushables could be the standard pose, and reboot ones could be reboot/variant poses?

There's those purse ones. I wonder if they will only be in TRU once the rest of the world gets them?
