Blech, says I.

Guh-ross.

No thanks at all.

I'm interested to see what they look like.  I'll reserve judgement until I've seen them.  They have potential to be cute though!

I wonder if Katy Perry will sing the theme song?

*shudder*  I hope not.  She just drives me bonkers.

I'm interested to see what the end product will be!  I'm optimistic and will hope for more variety in the fashions between each character, it could be fun.  I'll have to reserve judgement until we can see the product aired for the first time and the toys on the shelves. I'd totally want a Trixie doll. 

I was a KP fan at first but now....>< ditto! So I'd hope the theme song wasn't by her......

i;m not even sure what im looking at?
what IS this?

  Weeell that's surprising, but you never know... toys companies seems utterly incapable to make dolls exactly like their concept art, for better or worse. The actual dolls may turn out very cute.

For the record, I think keeping their colors looks strange but it's the right thing to do - there's no other way to avoid the huge potential problem of who-is-what race and all. And I think everyone agrees the outfits could use some improvements.

What I do worry about is the show that's supposed to come out of this. It's going to be hard to make something interesting out a school kid setting, it's sooooo common...  I follow the webisodes of MH, Bratzillas and Novi Stars and I cringe at the obsession with fashion and boys. It's boring AND poor values for the kids. At least the Lalaloopsy series seems to stay away from this, but they aren't entertaining...


Which makes me think, do we know if it's supposed to be an actual TV series or just little 2-3 minutes webisodes thing?

Hasbro is now a joke...that is all.

I could be remembering incorrectly but I am reasonably certain what we are first getting is a movie. The movie Hasbro confirmed for the line back at the toy fair was for the new IP which is Equestria Girls. Although it could be about how the ponies become humans rather than just being about EGs. That we certainly wont know for a while.

The latest rumor is Spike will be a dog.  There are also picture of canine Spike floating around.

This is all a rumor, but rumors have had a high validation rate for MLP lately.

[Ice Crystal]

Yeah! I actually came here to say that Spike the dog rumours have been floating around. Images below the cut (from EQD).

It will be sort of a shame if true, since I never saw Spike as a pet and I don't think it was anyone's intention to make him such. Unless he winds up being a talking dog. Who knows!

Also heard that Princess Celestia is going to be Principal Celestia.

If it's true, that is going to make his infatuation with Rarity all the more bizarre. o_o;

Just what I was thinking!  If everyone's an anthro, Spike could be a dragonish-looking boy, no? 
Depends if they want to keep him a lot younger than the mane six I guess... if he was a human toddler, there wouldn't be a lot of reasons for them to be in the same place. But still, a dog... it feels condescending for the character.

[LadyMoondancer]

Oh wow, I hope that rumor isn't true.  It would be so insulting for everyone else to be human ( . . . ish) and have Spike be a DOG.  They should make him a ten to twelve year old kid.

[Kobold]

Hahahaha!

Besides, everyone knows Spike's a gopher.

[Summerlycoris]

I have to agree with everyone on the Spike picture- it's just odd to have him turn into a dog whilst the ponies turned into humanish creatures. He should really be like the others, a humanish creature who keeps some of his dragon traits, even if he isn't the same age as the others.
