Articulated Ponies!!!

[Goanna]

Hmmm, too weird looking for me! Shame, cos it's a nice idea to make them poseable. I love how they come with a bunch of accessories, though.
I am glad of the plain brushables with the headbands, those are cute! I will keep an eye out for Starlight Glimmer and hope that they make some new characters too

I'm hoping they actually look better when posed right because that seller put them in some really awkward poses.

They will!  Taobao pics are usually not the best.   

my gripe is honestly the 'no neck' looks ._.

well maybe more than that but those ponies look like they have no neck to me

Yeah, I can see that.

I have so many ideas for these guys!  I want to see if I can mod one to be strung.

be sure to give one a neck first
I have a feeling the bodies are hard plastic and maybe almost built like the shine brights or crystal motion ponies were built

has anyone noticed that the wings on the 3 are 100% different?
Twilight's is obvious but I didn't noticed how Fluttershy's and RD's wings were till I saw those single photos.

Fluttershy's is thinner and looks like it belonged to another set of ponies, plus are actually on her back
RD's is the thick like the normal ponies, but her wings are attached like Twilight's and look like they are positioned at the elbows...

Of course!  Maybe a nice round bead so they can move their heads up and down too.

And yeah, it looks like maybe Twilight and RD's wings are posable but Fluttershy isnt?

I'm wondering how well those legs can hold a pose. Hopefully they don't go all loose the moment you pick them up.

Odd but then again Fluttershy has a new headmold? Only other G4s in that size that had open mouths was a oom 'n Go Pinkie and RD

I think they are trying to show all the articulation range the ponies have got (which to be honest I find it pretty good), not any natural horse poses ^^U

Poor Fluttershy they gave her the peeing dog pose

Here are some pics which show the articulation: http://www.mlpmerch.com/2015/10/posable-mlp-brushables-spotted-on-taobao.html

Their articulation range should emulate horses, not demented marionettes.

I'm so excitd to get them all and start making Stop-Motion Pony Adventures!  :3

Should they, though? We've seen how they move and sit in the show, so I don't see these toys as being any different from that.

Yes, they look wonky but I really don't think kids are going to care about that. They're toys and I definitely had my fair share of toys that could be put in unnatural poses when I was younger.

Call me crazy but I'm sure if parents really want their kids to learn how horses actually move, they can get them books or more accurate toys for that reason. Or, you know, show them videos of horses that aren't animated.

[Dreamer]

Well, I think their articulation range will be good for those who want natural horse poses (I suppose they will be able to trot and rear?) and more wacky and cartoonish poses for the kids who see the show
New questions about them, will they be able to stand on two legs? I hope so, but I won't hold my expectations high.

[Rainbowrific Renia]

Their heads don't seem to be very poseable, so I'd imagine they'd fall over backward if you tried to stand them up on two legs due to the weight. Plus they'd always be looking up.

Although, is it just me, or does that Pinkie with the swan boat seem to have more of a neck than the other toys?

[Galactica]

Well actually they could be good for some stop action "movies"
