Hi everyone,
Well, I was working on the descriptions of my unicorns for the website and I came with a problem, with all the new poses of the G4 'reboot' (the new molds).
With G1, we had lovely names for all the pony poses (collector pose, standing pose, proud pose, shy pose, and so on... you see what I mean).
G2, G3 and even G4 didn't really need that, as there were few different pony poses actually.
BUT : That not true anymore with the G4 'reboot' and it makes me wonder : Do we already have pose names for them ?
And if not... Why wouldn't we play that game ? :)
Here are my propositions (For unicorns, as I have unicorns only) :
This one is an easy one, it's the 'standing pose' :

I would call this one the 'conversation pose' :

This one, the 'walking pose' (even if it's a bit different than walking) :

The 'proud pose' :

And the 'waiting pose' :

What do you think ?
Do you have other ideas ?

Those sound really good! I think walking Rarity's pose or Vinyl Scratch's pose could also be called the strutting pose or the prancing pose.

It's good I think! But this

Must be something like "straddle pose" may be?
"Walking pose" really nice for this variant:

Or "Promenade pose"?

This one, the 'walking pose' (even if it's a bit different than walking) :
I think it's more similar to cantering than walking. So I'd call it the "Cantering Pose"
Vinyl Scratch's pose could also be called the strutting pose or the prancing pose.

Grabbin' images off MLP Merch to see if any were used on non-unicorns. It looks like this is it for the poses for the series.

Hahaha ! LOVE that one !!!!!!

I like all the pose names on the original post, although I might want to call the Waiting pose the Controposto pose since the knee is out. Also the Conversation pose could also be called the Giggle pose?
-
Would love to get some clear names for them so that I can fix the pose page at MLPMerch.com :D
Altough, what about these ones? They are kinda the same but with swapped legs. (One is a Pegasus variant?)

Both on the same image, we could call it the 'French Cancan' pose ! :lol:
Serioulsy, yeah that's really confusing. So that's why I think it's important to name every pose.
The 'Cantering pose' sounds good for this one.
As it's basically the same except for which leg is up, maybe we could say the 'left cantering', and the 'right cantering' for the 2 above ?
-
One is the Cancan, the other is the Can't Can't. :P
I'm loving these names, especially COMIN' THROUGH.

Or how about the "Gah! Horses legs don't bend that way!" Pose
-
While we're discussing these poses; does anyone know why the animated leg is a separate piece and not just part of the body mold??
-
love this! quite enjoyable to see what everyone has come up with! do we need an official Arena Vote™ to decide X) ?

Ok in all seriousness:

This is the pose that looks most like a "walking" pose to me.

These poses look to me like some one gesturing or posing because of enthusiasm, especially the Pinkie one. I could definitely see the "Can Can" name taking off just because it's fun, descriptive, and won't be confused with other poses. More mundanly, it could be called the "pointing pose." But that might get mixed up with this pose:

This one has had lots of fun suggestions, but in actual regular conversation it would need a simpler one or two word name. Something like "the Gasp pose". I could also see the "Darling pose" that someone suggested. Both the pose and the word are very "Rarity." Ha! maybe it could be the "IDEA!" pose.
Some poses are definitely going to have to have added descriptors though. As Tornado Twist pointed out, there is a pegasus variant, legs switch sides, and the heads can be traded out so you could end up with unicorn variants and open/closed mouth variants.
-
I think I'm going to name that Rarity one the "Gossip" pose. :P I find it very suiting haha.
But there's also a Pinkie Pie one which has her mouth closed. Maybe the Giggling Pose.

Oh my god this thread is amazing XD

Just an heads up. I went ahead and named most of them. I can always change some of them if people don't like them. ;)
