I have a prediction that once G4 passes My Little Pony will go on one more and probably die off until a retro craze picks up again.

Yeah, the problem now is that supposed the EQ dolls were the top selling fashion doll the year of Christmas in the US. So Hasbro sees dem dolla signs, and is focusing on the dolls instead this year.But I think there's been one confirmed new "brushable"? One is better than none.
as for the rest of my g4 collection.. theres actually quite a bit of variety. I think the real problem isnt the constant re releases of the main six. its the fact that when a new one does come out shes bloody well hard to get your claws on...case in point... i had to go through hell to get my paws on a minty and a rainbow flash.i think the variety is fine i just wish it had better availablity.as for the show its cute enough... i hope it lasts for a while.
Don't get me wrong; I love watching FiM! But I personally think the toyline has suffered because of it. Do you think without the show, we would have more brushables, and better playsets? Or do you think the show has made the toyline better, like all of the vinyl collectables and all the merch?
I feel like the vinyl collectables are only there to make more money from the Bronies, especially ones who may not feel comfortable buying a children's toy outright. That isn't hate against the collectable figures, I actually love them! Especially the Funko Pop figures.
I am fed up with the terrible quality and the excessive number of vehicles tied to the line that have nothing to do with the show - ie. Rarity's weird carriage, Apple Jacks Truck, Pinkies car, Pinkies awful helicopter, Rainbowdash's scooter.... Why on earth did they make all of that nonsense instead of the glaringly obvious Celestia carriage !
