How is the core line being neglected? The brushables had more variety this year than almost any year since the line began and almost everything looks good for once. We also got more new brushable characters than we usually do.

The brushables had more variety this year than almost any year since the line began and almost everything looks good for once. We also got more new brushable characters than we usually do. It is being neglected by no longer having quite as much attention paid to it. The first year may not have had the same variety in different aspects of the line as we have now but it had a focus on different characters being released in the same brushable style and set. Similar to what we had seen in previous MLP gens - a focus on brushable character sets and not off shoots or gimmick lines or alternative sets. As has been mentioned earlier in this thread, an opinion is just that...an opinion...it doesnt need everyone to feel the same or agree about it. I, personally, feel the core line has suffered (or perhaps not so much suffered as just not got quite the same attention) because Hasbro have, rightly, discovered new markets and new lines that it can make money in. I dont have to like it or agree with the way the line has changed or expanded but at the same time I understand the nature of business means that Hasbro wants to make money out of MLP not make us collectors (or even bronies) happy all the time. I just want a straight forward, straight up line of MLP - similar to those we have seen in previous generations with lots of unique characters that I can collect. I am a simple soul
and make them angry/agressive.

I'm all for MLP toys that appeal to both genders, but do we have to make toys aggressive to appeal to boys? Do we have to have Shining Armor with a lance, Twilight Sparkle with 'attack wings' , and Chrysalis with a dagger? How the heck is that MLP!? Can we make toys for boys without making them violent?
I think it fits the spirit of the show - FiM has a lot of conflict an action, and this is a line to represent that. As much as in love pretty ponies with brushable hair and interchangeable outfits, there's more to the show than that, and I like the fact that they're starting a new line to reflect that in the merchandise. Not that that's the ONLY part of the show, of course, but like I said, this is an entirely new line, not the successor to the main toys, and I like that. Sorry if I sound condescending, I'm not trying to force my opinions on anyone >.<
My ponies never got to go on adventures or fight bad guys, the reason being that their hair got in their way. Static poses also didn't serve them well. And that's why they ended up lost and/or forgotten. So I'm all for these poseable, hairless things regardless of male appeal or whatever
