I'd love more variety in the brushables (not just the Main 6), boy ponies, more foals, different species, more of Luna, and I would absolutely love it if they made more plushies, especially of Big Macintosh, Luna, Celestia, and Cadence!

Since when do we call baby ponies foals? They have always been baby ponies, or did I miss something?

But yes, I want more boys and more babies too! And less Blind Bags, they can stop making those for all I care.

Um.... to go back to G1?  Or G3, at the very least... :blush:

As for a not-dreaming-in-Technicolour answer, I'd like what most everypony seems to request:

More poses, more show-accurate ponies, and more ponies besides just the Mane 6!!

There, I made it move like a stock ticker; maybe somepony at Hasbro might read it... :P

ETA: Something like the old Horseshoe Points program would be cool, too...

I want foals of different sizes like they had in G1. I have four different babes, and if I remember right, they're all slightly different in height and anatomy than the others! I'd also like some different shapes for the adult ponies. Fleur, Snips, Snails, and others prove that ponies can look very, very different!

Brushable Minty, of course. Actually, Fashion Style Minty anypony? :)

I could die happy if they made an autumn pony! I'd love it if she had an orange body and red, yellow, and brown hair, or any variation of that, and had green eyes to reflect the green leaves they had once been. I'd have so much fun styling her hair :D

For me, I just like new pony things, and I like it when they use their imagination :) I trust them to make cool things! Though, I'd like to see less so-soft newborns, a girl only needs so many babies and not very many of the adults collect them (I know some of you do, but they don't seem to be high on the collector's list)

I'm not sure why people still ask for show accurate ponies...we now already have both the Funko figures and the "ponyville sized" figures. While the regular (brushable) line seems to get hardly anything new.
Since to me at least, the biggest "not show accurate" thing about the brushable line is them being brushable.

Wow - this is an interesting way to look at it and what a switch!

At the start of G4 a lot of the newer fandom shouted for show accuracy which as you say was essentially completely moulded ponies and that seems to have pretty much have been or getting delivered through blind bags and Funko.

Now we are all shouting for HB to pretty much deliver what MLP is about - brushable ponies in different characters. How dramatically the line has changed!

I have to say that I really love the idea of baby ponies with appearing/disappearing symbols that Sanadaookami suggested. I've always thought a possible multipack of the 6 main characters as babies would also be cute. It would at least mix things up mold-wise if they have to include them in yet another set, and the proper molds already exist after all. :)

I'm not sure if it's possible (perhaps if they tweaked the names a bit) but I'd also love to see a collector's set of the G1 characters (Twilight, Posey, Applejack, Sparkler, Surprise, Firefly) Lauren Faust initially had in mind to use in FIM before they were redesigned, or even a tribute set in G4 style of the original 6 (Cotton Candy, Blossom, Bluebelle, Butterscotch, Snuzzle, Minty). A return of Birthflower/Birthstone ponies and a proper mold finally surfacing for blindbag-sized Fluttershy would also be nice.

Mostly echoing what many have already said though, more brushables, more boys, new poses/new eye indents for headsculpts, a return to hair bangs, and holiday ponies are all things I would like to see. Double-sided cutie marks is also a wish, but since they haven't been that way for years now, I won't hold my breath. ;)

Ah, I should rephrase what I intended when I said, "show-accurate," as it appears I went and stuck my hoof in my mouth. :blush:  Sorry for any confusion that my misuse of that term may have caused.  Here's what I meant:

*ahem*  Okay, I would like, in brushable form, more of the actual ponies, background and otherwise, as seen in FiM.  Like they've finally gotten around to the Favourites Collection, and the wave of ponies that included Lyra, Trixie, Cherry Berry and Sunny Rays?  It's just really boring to go to TRU and Wal-Mart and see endless displays of the Mane 6, the Mane 6, and nothing but the Mane 6 - now with different trinkets, but still just the Mane 6!  I keep harping for Flim and Flam especially, :whistle:, but brushables of any of the following characters would be fantastic:  Mayor Mare, Big Macintosh, Granny Smith, Mr. & Mrs. Cake (and think how kyoot their babies would be?), Fancy Pants, Fleur de Lys, Snips, Snails, Diamond Tiara, Filthy Rich, any of the Wonderbolts, and so on and so on down to Dolphin Dreams and Joe the Canterlot Donut Shop owner.  I would think it'd be tremendously fertile ground for the toymakers - the designs are all extant, just waiting to be implemented in toy form.  And I do tend to remember the old toy-tie-in cartoons of the eighties, too, when you'd have new characters introduced each season, and those toys would be available in the shops pretty much by holiday time.  So one might be forgiven for thinking it shouldn't be that much of a rocket-science issue for Hasbro. :shrug:

Anyway...  As far as the blindbag ponies go, I'm loving them so far - it's at least a sop to the fans who'd love to see their favourites in toy form.  And the molded ponies are okay, but meh... I guess I just really want a return to the halcyon days of G1, when there could be upwards of seventy brushable ponies (if you count twins as two ponies each) introduced in a year. :biggrin:  Oh well... :lol:

I like everyone's ideas here.

Alrighty, here is what I want:

Blind Bag Size - No complaints here, love them
Fashion Style - More different ones, not the same main 6
                      - Wave 2 ponies like Lily Blossom and Cheerilee in particular
Regular Brushables - No more main 6 unless Hasbro is going to do something interesting with them
                                - More characters! Any characters at this point would make me happy. I would love to see
                                  a) More beautiful/creative ponies like Lily Blossom, Blossomforth, and Feathermay
                                  b) Translate some of those great blind bag designs into brushables (especially boys)
                                  c)  More show ponies. I absolutely loved the TRU collectors set, Lyra, Trixie, etc. They were all super cute, and didn't seem like the normal barrage of pink we are used to (well, except Cherry Berry :P, but even she was a unique shade of pink). Those show inspired ponies brought a lot of bright colours with them that I would love to see more of: wonderful yellows, greens, and blues.
                                  d) Scented ponies!

Brushable sets - A heroes and villains set
        - Pony families or siblings, like the apple family, Rarity with Sweetie Belle, Twilight's family

I could write ideas all night, but I think I will stop there for now.
