I admit I didn't read the entire thread so forgive me if this was already mentioned. But what I never understand is that they bother to give the ponies distinctive hairstyles in the new cartoon, but not on the toys.It. It just sort of irks me. Laziness.

Laziness.I think MLPs are meant for creative play. And just giving them their standard hairstyles in the show is boring :s you can style the hair, that's why they have hair
Quote from: gabumon on December 23, 2013, 01:57:33 AM(Meanwhile Hasbro is making a dozen new figures for Transformer fans based on random (also awesome) background IDW comic book characters)/end-rantThe reason for this crap is that they think male fans buy more merchandise and figures than female fans and Transformers is still kinda male-dominated (even though there was an explosion of female fans during the last few years). They don't seem to acknowledge that female 'nerds' take collecting and fandom just as serious as male ones. Case in point: they started catering to Bronies even though Bronies only make up a part of all MLP fans. But Bronies to them are "adult male fans of MLP" and being male automatically catapults them into the "power buyer" category. What did the regular fans of MLP get before the Bronies? A SDCC exclusive and that was that. And just to be perfectly clear, I'm not bashing Bronies and I don't intend to start a Brony discussion. I'm bashing Hasbro and their third party sellers for treating the other MLP fans as lesser consumers.

Does it count if I have been bored with G4 since they showed us the character design?

Wouldn't that be more of a "I don't like it to begin with" mentality?Admittedly, I would like to see MLP to go back to looking more like ponies. I know it's not as conducive to the rubber hose physics and cartoon expressions of Friendship is Magic, but they're supposed to be ponies.
