Eh, the crystal motion ponies do nothing for me. I think it's the insane amount of glitter they put on them, or those odd, over sized cutie marks. Besides, being the dork I am, I'm still holding out for non-glittery highly articulated MLP action figures. Hey, you never know. :P

Not only that, it's THICK and coloured glitter.
I thought dash might look kinda pretty with some glittery wings (like the TRU styling Luna) but gawds, these ones look like a kid with crafting glue got ahold of them!

Out of the whole set, I love the Rarity one. I think she is so pretty. :D

I'll be getting them.  I have the first three and because I love to complete sets I will happily get them.  I like the little motions they make.  The glitter I will admit is a bit much, but I can overlook that.

I have been looking at them for a while now. They are cute, but not my favorite.

I like the crystal motion ponies.... but why Fluttershy's eyes? I don't like them, and that makes me a sad panda -_-

i love articulation but the fact they do these cheesy mechanical things brings the toys quality down..I'd love to see a line of ponies similar to walkin' talkin' pinkie pie, that big with same articulation but made like a normal pony, from a much softer/normal MLP material and no more of these tricks and mechanical things..

I have to ask, what's wrong with Flutters' eyes? I like them. They're innocent and cute like they're supposed to be, just perkier than usual...

Like motorized brushables? I did initially think they were like that.

Yes, like a bit bigger size brushables with leg joints...when they finally added the neck joint to the G4 it made a great difference to me from previous pony generations(even though some times i hate how you can see the neck joint isn't cut as smoothly to fit perfectly with the body)...but whenever they've used leg joints in their MLP toys hasbro has used this really hard plastic which makes a toy cheap,not hugable and not appealing to me,lol..why not go old school and follow a simple doll recipe in materials?..take the "big Bratz babies" for instance, they have semi-soft plastic bodies, 4 softer arm/leg joints and vinyl-like rooted heads, it works great to create a doll that her joints will not fall apart cause of the softness but still is very huggable and soft..it's not hard to imagine and conceive a MLP toy made with materials like that but Hasbro either goes for the very soft squishy one-piece body mold or the hard plastic you'd see used in like car toys etc.. It's a bit disappointing..if an MLP toy looked like walkin' talkin' PP but was made as a concept similar to and with materials same as the "big bratz babies" this would have been my most favorite MLP release ever since i first started collecting them in the 80's,lol..

They almost got the "recipe" right once with their G1 ballerina baby pony release but they haven't done anything similar since i think..

when i first looked at her i though she looked utterly adorable but i was quckly discouraged to buy walking' talkin' PP when i realized she had all these silly mechanics and her head was not attached but rather hang just by a wire like that..when i first saw the crystal motion ponies i quickly dived in to learn more only to realized they're also one trick plastic ponies with mechanics..the quality then reached a McDonald's happy meal standards for me,sorryT_T

I'll admit, I like the Crystal Motions better in person but I'm still not sold on them. I would very much like "softer" jointed ponies as n66x said. The hard plastic and embossed cutie marks make the crystal motion ponies look a lot bulkier than their playful pony counterparts, and the internal mechanism is too gimmicky for my taste and could potentially get broken. If Hasbro released simpler poseable ponies with no internal mechanisms I would be all over those. Even if they had glitter.

I think these have great play value to them. I enjoyed the Ballet ponies as a child.

I wonder when we will see an official release for these?
