Rebranding Brushables Spotted? (Royal Family in Packaging! Page 14)

I agree about Equestria Girls but because Hasbro has conveniently given us a name to call them by.  Same thing for Guardians of Harmony.  If Hasbro announces a name for these new molds/line then we can just call them that.

Generations are about the toys, not the shows.

Even when there weren't shows there was lore behind them. Sometimes it was just backcard stores and sometimes it was enriched with a cartoon.

That's true, but there was a major lore change at the end of g1 with "Tales" yet we still call those ponies g1 because the toys didn't fundamentally change.

"Tales" was kinda a side thing like Equestria Girls imho. Like except for the one line of ponies that tied into it, most stuff still portrayed the ponies as less anthropomorphized than Tales.

well, from what I've gathered by reading old threads and such, there wasn't really a consensus reached on what G3.5 should be called until G4 started, right?

I still say that the argument "well Equestria Girls isn't called G4.5" is silly, EQG is just a sideline, it's like saying G3 Ponyvilles should be "G3.5" or Sweetheart Sisters should be "G1.5".

I keep going back and forth on what I think these should be called, my mind's changing by the minute... atm I kind of feel like.. if the Fashion Styles and blindbags change to match these too, it should be G4.5, but if not, idk. But I'm not sure honestly.. I think we should just wait and see where this goes before trying to decide what to call these new ponies, personally.

By the looks of it right now, Fashion Style and Styling will remain the same.. Blind Bags are another story because they are constantly starting to change these with adding new molds.. especially for the story packs.. The newest story pack that was revealed looks like it has a Rarity that kind of mimics the newer style a little but it's hard to say...

I agree that the generations are defined by toys, but I just don't think these are very different from the current toys.  I think to us, as collectors, the differences are exaggerated after six years of seeing the exact same molds over and over.

I mean, comparing them to the McDonalds ponies, which are G4, they really don't seem very different?

As for ease of identifying them in sales post, there are so many versions of the Mane Six that won't people need pictures to tell them apart anyway?  Otherwise how is someone looking for Fluttershy-with-tinsel going to guarantee that they don't get Fluttershy-with-translucent-body instead?

I think for ease of searching places like Ebay.. I've had a hard time finding Chinese sellers for these

The toys are fine, but yikes!  Those are terrible representations of Fluttershy, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash's gala dresses.  The big advantage plastic clothes has over fabric clothes is that plastic clothes can be made to look just like the show, but here it's like they went "Eh, Twilight's dress is blue, close enough."  Rarity would faint if she saw these, lol.

[otocolobus_manul]

I actually think Twilight and Rainbow look ok :o it's just Fluttershy that looks awful. Did they even try with her?

Not as good as other versions of the dresses (Pop Pinkie and AJ, FS Rainbow and Rarity, and the upcoming blindbag Rarity), imo.

[sd_dreamcrystal]

clothing ones are eh to me but I'm excited about the posed ones!

[Dragonflitter]

Yikes Rarity's pose in that single looks like her leg is broke. o.0

At least we can honestly say G4 was the first MLP line to have a pose where the pony is pointing at their own face with their hoof. I wonder if that toy can stand on its own.

Yeah, but they're easier to ruin. Especially if they don't always fit right.

Golden Delicious? My daughter owns him and he stands fine on three legs.

It obvious from the show that ponies don't follow real horse anatomy so why would the toys be any different? To me it doesn't look broken but then again I know absolutely nothing about real horse anatomy.

I am actually glad that Hasbro is trying to make an effort, for the past years I haven't bought hardly any new brushables because of their poor quality and re-releases of the same ponies over and over. But now that we are starting to see these new changes, we know that Hasbro is at least trying to work on their toys,so they must know that people are getting tired of their re-releases. Just because they are trying to make a new set of brushables does not make it better, they obviously don't have nearly as good hair as they did in the 2011-2012 era, and they don't look at a real horse's anatomy.

I appreciate what they are trying to do, but their toys just keep becoming more and more less horselike.

[Noxxbunny]

Had a feeling those Gala ones wouldn't come out like the concept. A G4 set with the gala outfits is what I've wanted since that episode and they just can't get them right. They gave them such a weird shape just so the tail could fit through...which I think is totally unnecessary seeing how terrible the hair quality in the tails of G4s have been lately. Unless they changed it, I don't think that's a part of the pony they want to be showing off...

I had bought the new Celestia and she came in today, so I put her next to the older one (pardon the mess in the background ):

I was surprised on how she is almost the same height as the original one. I thiught she would either be bigger and quite smaller, and she is pretty in person! Dare I say, I think I like the new Celestia more than the older one.
