Hello guys! well i have a huge doubt! Well Hasbro just released My Little Pony: Pony Life (that everyone knows!) But I don't know if it's G5 or G4.5! I have a huge doubt if anyone knows let me know! thank you all!
-
G4.5. G5 starts with a movie in September.
-
Pony Life is considered G4.5
At one point there was a debate on if the style of the figures for the FiM movie were G4.5 as well but I think the community settled on called them something else (the word slips my mind atm)
-
4.5
a new generation happens when the design radically alters.

I think "Movie Style" and "Reboot" are the ones I've seen, I call them the Reboot figures personally.

I think of the Pony Life line as G4.5 myself, I have no idea when G5 will come out or what it will look like. It's been rumored for more than a year now.

There is a movie that has been in production for a bit that is slated to come out on September 24, 2021. Shameless plug of the movie page on my wiki that has all the information we know of thus far. (https://g5mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Movie)
I know there was some concern by some people about the movie being delayed due to the pandemic, but official word from Hasbro keeps reinforcing that date, so I'm not all that worried.

I'm sticking to Ponylife as PL at the moment. I've also seen reboot or movie pose for the last redesign. It's a tricky one, but since G4 is so animation based, I'm working on G4: FIM, G4: EQG and G4: PL as my terms right now. I think we'll only really be able to determine 4.5 when G5 begins, if it indeed does.

Hasbro is actually referring to Pony Life as G4.5 (in the description).

Super useful, thanks! I'm curious to see how MLP will proceed after the success of G4.

4.5 since it is the same characters, with the same personalities etc :)
-
Hasbro calls it G4.5 so I'm going with that.

From the linked site:
On August 28th, 2020, Liscencing.biz reported that "Hasbro hopes that audiences will be swept away by the new cast of ponies and the incredible adventure that awaits them"
On October 6th, 2020, The Festival of Licensing event featured a live panel from Hasbro. Here it was announced that the "Old Cast" (presumed to be the main cast from Friendship is Magic) will be returning, but most of the focus will be on the new cast of characters. The September 24th release date was confirmed once again.
:ack:
This is the best thing I've heard regarding new pony stuff for a longgg time now.
(Though I do have to say, I would like it if their only cameo was getting a boot out the door. XD)

Well, people called the 2017 redesign G4.5, so maybe the Pony Life toys are G4.75 XD
-
well, we couldn't really decide WHAT to call the 2017 redesign. I saw lots of names thrown around... But Hasbro are calling Pony Life "G4.5" so that settles it, IMO.
Did we ever settle on a name for the 2017 ones? I know the most common suggestions were "Movie" or "Reboot" but idk if we ever came to a consensus on that. I think "Movie" is probably the clearest name for it?

I've always called them "reboot" but movie makes sense too.
I still think the originals look more like the cartoons, funny enough.
-
I call them "reboot" too and I kinda like that better, since they went on for a while *after* the movie, but I'm not sure if it isn't confusing since G4.5 could be considered a reboot, too :s So that's why I'm leaning more towards calling them "movie" now.

Hasbro has never defined G terminology. They have just borrowed it now they know we use it.
The concept of G terms came from this community, back at the start of G3.
I feel like giving Hasbro the right to decide all these things now - on labels we devised for our collecting - is like saying it was ok when Hascon superseded the Pony Fair.
It's not the biggest deal on the planet, but I still think it matters that - even if we agree with 4.5 in the end - we come to that conclusion ourselves, not "because Hasbro said so".

I guess in my eyes the best way to describe Pony Life would be g4.5, as it’s more or less going to be the swan song of that generation. It reminds me a lot of g3.5, even with the characters progressively becoming more chibi in their last iteration of that generation.
-
It didn't make sense to me to call the updated G4 look as 4.5, because that was just an update to the look, and nothing else. The old design was getting pretty old and stagnant because it had been around so long. It really needed to evolve to continue to sit on the shelves.
I think it makes sense to call Pony Life 4.5, because I feel like it's obvious it's a inbetweener show/toyline. But I suppose a majority of the community needs to feel comfy with it first.
