"They" being Hasbro aren't calling them anything.

Lots of people have been calling them "Styling Size" ponies because that was what the GIANT G3 ponies were called.  But of course that is confusing since we already have "Fashion Style"

I noticed that the Hasbrotoyshop doesn't even mention that the ponies are 9" tall-  so odd.  http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/my-little-pony-fluttershy-pony-figure-A6719?BR=704&ID=32728

ya their packaging doesn't say anything about their "line" or class just the pony name.  maybe we could check toy store assortment databases?

I like Styling Size because it's similar to G3 (as was mentioned) and that isn't the same as "Fashion Style" to me.   two different words Styling vs Fashion.  works for me, but that's just me.

Yup! I like this too. Personally I have seen/heard plenty of people refer to the fashion style G4s as 'styling size' before, so that would get confusing.

I'll vote for G4zillas!  Mostly because I have this great mental image of Fluttershy stomping around Tokyo!  :lol:

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know if these are available in the UK yet?  :lookround:

The Hasbro UK site really ticks me off that it doesn't have ordering online.  >_<

I first heard them referred to as styling size so that's what I went with, but then I saw others referring to fashion styles as being styling size, so I changed to "giant styling size"... It is getting a little confusing.

Plenty have called PP's nine inch version Pinkiezilla so I would be all for G4zillas becoming the colloquial community name, especially considering there's a new Godzilla movie coming soon and the two franchises may share toy shelf space in the near future :lol: Pinkie versus Godzooky, who will win?

I am going with Styling Size...as they feel as though that's what they are intended to be the equivalent of in this line line. :)

However like everyone else I am not really aware of an official name. In fact in products they are just being called "Basic Pony" - I am hoping eventually they get a better official title. 
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

Well, I hope people call them Styling Size, if only so that they can find my auction. :P
