MLP G1 Vinyls Coming Soon

[brighteyes]

The idea of pony clothing on them is cute!

There's an interesting question.  How will these ponies compare to original G1's?  Will pony wear fit them?

I'd never considered that.  It would be really really cute if they could fit G1 clothing, though I kind of get the impression they are small.  Does anyone know what size the toys made by Loyal Subjects typically are?  Maybe they will fit G1 baby clothes (^_^)

Heh... the pony wear idea is brilliant!

I went to Hot Topic the other day on my way to running another errand and if they are as big as the TFs, then they'd be about three inches.  Failing that craftsy people could make them something. Even something  simple such as a cloth cape or felt "leg warmers" with Velcro. I make simple stable blankets and leg wraps for my model horses using felt with designs. Would hide the leg joints and add a special touch of the 80s while on display.

They look odd from the 3/4 view, but look better from the side. If they make Lofty or any of the TEs I might have to cave in.

I actually don't think the Hamilton figures looked that bad actually. The tiny Firefly with the book was awful though, like super fakie looking. I can't believe that company is doing Glory... no thanks!

Since I'm a huge fan of drawing G1 to G4. I feel need to defend it as a concept. I would love, love, love G1 ponies in the G4 style. I think they'd transition just fine. While TAFs would be difficult to pull off due to the size, I think the TEs and So Softs can get away without the jewel eyes and the flocking.

I think these posable vinyls are the best attempt at retro G1 merch yet. I think add more favorites besides Firefly, Glory (that purple-ish unicorn is supposed to be her I think???), and Minty would help a lot. Buttons is a super cool addition though!

hum...well they are kind of cute and it's nice to see G1 get some interesting new products. Although Sweet Scoops body/hair color isn't right. It looks like they should have reversed the colors on that one.

If they're too small for adult G1 clothes, they might fit baby G1 clothes.  They'd look cute in the dragon or bunny outfits.

If you can fit them over those huge heads.

I think most of the baby outfits have open backs or bellies with velcro so it shouldn't be a problem

Bummer. Something about the proportions makes me not like them . and i want to like them...

Ditto. Why why why does deformed have to be a thing.... These would be great with the proper proportions....

Does anyone know how big these are compared to regular ponies?
And if buying online like in amazon etc. can let you still choose which specific pony you want to buy?

I hope they make more of these! I'd love to see Shady, Medley, and Glory, as well as an actual Sweet Scoops.

You'd probably have to wait until someone buys the whole set and posts the codes, or fund opened toys that people have bought if they're blind box. Hopefully they won't be.

Toy Fair Update

Greetings all! I just saw these figures up close and personal this morning and took a bunch of pictures (which I will try to upload at a later time). But they are pretty cute in person. They photograph better from some angles more than others. Here are some things I learned.
-The figures we have seen are hand painted prototypes so are not an exact representation of production.
- They are smaller than G1 ponies but not by much (bigger than baby g1 and g4 adults)
-It appears the bows might be removable (they were little pegs) but it was hard to tell on the prototypes.
-Symbols are on one side only.
- Approximate retail (if I can read my notes) is about $15.
- Estimated spring arrival
- Didnt disclose mass market retailers yet but should be similar to other brands
-Wasn't able to ask if they were blind bags or not but the other toys in the booth were a mix (some open packages some blind bags)

Omg *pops* from excitement. Thanks for the info, upload them soon I hope
