G5 Fantasy

[achab1984]

I am sitting here thinking about the future of My Little Pony and I was just dreaming up MY idea of the perfect G5 pony......the future of ponies......I was thinking G3 size but with the style of the G4's and the randomness of the G1 lines and even some of the G1 poses and maybe even a few of the symbols.....ooooohhhhh and bring back the holiday ponies......this is just some of my G5 fantasy I dont want to list to much......I want to know WHATS YOURS.......

Um.....ya that would be awesome

Just gotta say that I love your show concept, Firehooves. 
Evil creatures were always trying to kill/enslave the G1 ponies... I miss that so much.

I would also like to see more evil creatures in the future of MLP its the other side of the coin you must have bad to have good......if not its just to much of a bowl of sugar

[hathorcat]

Just less anime style, less forced style - in better words...just toys which resemble ponies.

Well, with the way ponies have been shrinking each generation I imagine G5 would be the size of blind bags and cost $5 or more. 

I want Hasbro to do something different with G5 (if it ever gets that far).  G3's and G4's have been going down the same path eventually, focusing on the same group of ponies and releasing them constantly.  Sorry but for collector's (at least for me) it gets old and takes the fun out of collecting--unless you are an army collector then it's perfect for you.

I want the variety that G3's had.  I am an 80's child and had G1's as a child.  I wish hasbro would go along the lines of G1's but do something a little different.  Sorry if that sounds confusing.

I would like to see a mix between G1 and G4 plus a bit more horse-like, with completely new characters as the main cast and a few revamps now and then from EVERY gen like Rainbow Dash, Sundance and Ivy

Different releases with a FEW special re-releases of the more popular characters (not core 7 or G4 style, more like UBER special editions idk how to explain...)

More boys, more breeds and the return of old ones like the flutter ponies

I'd love to see merponies

A pony Queen and King and more awesome villains perhaps the return of cool characters like Nightmare Moon and Tirek

Lots of poses and I'd love that they could try a few more colors, not mostly pink blue and purple

aannd that's all on top of my head I guess hahaha

[sd_dreamcrystal]

Personally as far as toys go... I'd love to see them break from the core characters... and have the ponies actually be more pony-like a bit.. plus poses, lots more poses... and species.. G1 had more than just the Unis, Earths, and Pegs..

My G5 fantasy would be that they look like ponies again. Like G1 molding, but a bit smaller in size (to distinguish from originals), with brushable manes and tails and symbols (not cutie marks-shudder's at term). There would be many big brother's afoot again!

Years ago hubby had a dream that somewhere around G6 we'd have life-sized (as in, can sit and ride on) holographic ponies.

And let's get some brushable male pegasi and unicorns too.  We got Shining Armor in G4, but let's see some more.

I would also like to see some more dynamic boxart.  Even if they stick with vectors, make them look a more lively and create group pictures of the set.  G1 had such beautiful artwork and I would love to see that return.

[Whippycorn]

Well ideally something more like G1 or G3 in both variety and style, but mainly I'd just like something bigger than the G4 brushables, I much prefer the fashion styles size.

Lol - I hope Mr Kiwi's dream comes true!

I'd like to echo the sentiments on reining in the duplicate pony issues. How many pinkie pies does one person need? It's like that Simpsons episode where all the girls wanted the new Malibu Stacy doll because she had a hat...

Yes symbols on both sides! Taf too! So soft would also be amazing.

And let's hear it for ponies and matching babies! I love those guys! No more "little sister", it's cute, but what's wrong with having a mom?

[Al-1701]

I'd like kids matching their parents to come back to.  Frankly, I like it better than the blank thing they have going right now.  I feel like message at the end of Call of the Cutie was a lie.  A blank flank isn't full of potential.  They have a special talent, they're literally born with it, they just haven't figured out what it is yet.

I like how many fans describe how the matching baby thing works.  A pony is born looking like a smaller copy of their mother or father because that's what really identifies them.  They spend foalhood developing their own identity with their own tastes and talents.  Then, when they reach adulthood, they grow in their adult coats, mane and tail.  They get a new symbol that represents their identity and take on a new name.  Some stuff is added to make it work like couples almost always have twins and won't have another set of foals until the current set reaches adulthood and any triplets have a blank flank with their permanent coloring but are otherwise the same in their development.
