:) pretty cool! I wonder how well they can hold poses.

I won't be getting any since I'm down sizing... But they look fun for kids.

I just noticed their cutie marks - a little weird but doesn't affect my overall impressions.  I'm actually excited for a new line!  These have reignited my love for G4.   :newpony:

I think this is a great idea, although their implementation does look clunky.  I like to pose things a lot personally, so this is nice.  Maybe the final product will look less awkward, stranger things have happened!

I'm hoping they'll look less awkward, too!

I'm very excited for this. I love posing and playing around with my anime figures, now I can do it with ponies! :frolic:

Mm, I like the idea but the actual execution looks kinda wonky to me :( Joints just look weird on such tiny figures. Not a fan of the awkwardly-placed symbols, either, so I'll prolly pass on these (which is a shame since I'd be all over Coco if she was a regular brushable). It's cool to see them branching out a bit, though.

New Starlight <3 I wish I'd known she was getting re-released, I prolly would've waited to get her (not a fan of the ribbon hair).

And omg the boat!!! I LOVE it!!! I'm not usually a playset person but I,need this :D.

I'll wait till I can see them in stores. Articulation can be hit or miss with four footed creatures. I do wish they would have extended the flank articulation, since those legs look the oddest.

I think this is Hasbro's way of saying "Well they want ponies in more poses, lets give them leg articulations to quiet them for now."

So far I would have to only give them a C for effort and an I don't know till I personally see it for everything else.

I also noticed something but it's hard to see.. Dash and Fluttershy look like they have open mouths.

And I'm curious about the wings.. though not Twilight's because... yeah...

But I would like to get one soon just to review it XD

They sort of creep me out but I'll have to wait to see them in someone's actual posed photos before fully judging.  :lookround:

I think this proves that G4 ponies are way too thin.  Even looking at the non-articulated ponies, the cutie marks go two far down the leg because they have almost to haunch.  Similarly, there is no haunch to the articulated ponies, it's just a narrow leg.

These people need to go to a farm and actually look at a pony and how they move.

Hmmm they are kind of cute.  Clunky but cute.  I like the concept though!  And I like the swan boat.  :)

I wouldn't have liked these as a kid, the joints would have bothered me.

But as an adult I am seeing an opportunity to make a custom Peridot pony (from Steven Universe) or even a robot pony, so bring 'em on, ha ha.

These are one of those things I feel like we need to see people make their own poses and post pictures to see how they look.

Also a regular starlight without ribbon I'll be getting this one, wave 1 explore equestria (come on hasbro youre not exploring much in equestria yet, hopefully with wave 2..?)

Oooh!! Good thing I didn't buy Starlight from China yet!! XD but those headbands are so cute!!! :3

But these articulated ponies are ugly  :| I only see em as potential custom meat, but I doubt that'll be possible because of the body "mechanics". So in the end, PASS.
Oh no!

If you end up doing this, you MUST post pictures for us to see. That sounds awesome! I bet a Peridot pony would be adorable.
