Noticed Something Odd

[starrypawz]

So yesterday I brought myself a Pinkie Pie, and I kept the leaflet that came with her as I thought the poster side of it looked nice. But look

How strange. O.o Pinkie and her train are drawn in a totally different style compared to the vector type look of everything else.

[Appleseed]

Yeah, the Pinkie train set is the only one with the "airbrushed" look, like Disney movie box art. It really does stand out awkwardly against the rest here though. :/

[The_Loner]

I have noticed that too! I like that style better.

[Watercolors]

My sister and I noticed that a while ago and always thought it looked really strange. Thats also the same art that appeared on the 2012 my little pony mcdonalds box. Why do they use that so much? it doesn't go with the other art

[Bergamot]

Yeah, I noticed that, too. The marketing graphics for G4 totally confuse me!

[hathorcat]

They really are incredibly lazy this time around arent they...the random vector reuse is one thing but to start using different finsh/filters on something which is clearly designed to be a poster is a little naughty.

Well spotted!

Wait, Celestia is behind the castle, but bigger than it? Celstiazilla.

[TheBeatlesPkmnFan42]

Yeah, I saw that on the box for the train when I got it. Looks neat.

AGH OH NOOOOOO!

[RAMChYLD]

Yeah, noticed that too. They used that same artwork on the box of the train set. I thought it was silly because Pinky comes off as shiny (ie plastic skin) instead of furry :3

[Cadence]

Shhh, they were hoping kids wouldn't notice!

(By the way, did that come with a regular brushable Pinkie Pie? I've never seen a G4 brushable come with a leaflet/poster before!)

[Zapper]

Hasbro just wants to invest what's absolutely neccessary and gain as much money as possible.
It really doesn't surprise me they're using the same graphics over and over and over.

Why show a Pinkie Pie in her usual vector look if you can show the one with the train? Gotta sell that train!
Why print the cutie marks on both sides of a pony if you can make alternatives with the mark on the other side. Gotta sell the same version of a pony over and over again!

*giggles at Hasbro's silly work*  They really don't care do they?

Yeah, she's a basic brushable, one that comes with a pet and a 'suit case'

Oh okay, thanks. =) Guess they don't come with Canadian packaging
