I guess it wasn't just a bad photo angle, Cadance's head is kinda messed up.

Lol, balloon Cadance anyone?

Yeah Cadance's head looks really wierd but at least SA has actual hair!
Kind of bummed that these are actual sets, meaning they will cost a bit more than a single pony

Seems Spike got a reboot too

New Spike is really cute, but Cadance? Why did they DO that to her?

[otocolobus_manul]

That Philomena though :o I'll have to buy her from someone. Anyone planning on buying the Celestia/Fluttershy set who doesn't want the phoenix included?

[Moonbreeze]

Oh no, haha. The other picture of Cadance is not helping 

I love the new Spike tho!

So quick question.. Are we going to called these G4.5s or just reboots?

I think the answer to that will depend on if this style sticks around as the new line of brushables permanently, or if it's just a side line like Guardians of Harmony.

The G3.5's completely replaced the G3 line of MLP's, so it made sense that we collectors changed the name to reflect that. If the old style of brushables will no longer be available after these are out, I would consider calling these G4.5, yeah.

But G3.5 looked completely different from g3. These guys are just the g4s in more poses - id consider them still G4, since they're the roughly same size and look very similar stylistically. But you're right, I guess we'll have to wait and see where this goes before making any judgements.

//still half-suspecting hasbro isn't going to release any new characters in this style, considering this variety enough

Omg I have a mighty need xD


So ive been freaking out over here about these G4 reboot toys in their packaging, im glad to know these are real because im dying to get my paws on the Cadance/Shining/Flurry Heart set!!!!!

I actually have these toys coming in the mail SUPER soooooon, all im missing are the royal family set and Celestia! I have 11 different ponies from this new style coming in the mail! Im glad I caved and got the set of 11 because I dont like the playsets in all of these, although that philomina figure is pretty sweet.

Hmm Cadance's head does look a bit odd! Especially that horn LOL

[Dragonflitter]

I think I'm going to buy the sets just for Philomena and Spike, lol. So I hope people want to buy these new ponies loose.

Also, more importantly, Hasbro also changed the style of the animation. This looks more like they are trying to be more faithful to the animation.

That angle is not flattering for Cadence at all.

[MangleCrafter]

Awe how cute! It's nice how they look more cartoonish!

[Luxrayx]

Hm... I'd like Shining Armor, but Cadance is kind of ugly. Maybe I'll get used to her

[Dragonflitter]

I'm more distracted by Celestia's noodle-leg than Cadance's baloon-head.

[Sunset]

When they come out with previously unreleased characters, then I will buy some of these.  At this point, I can only justify the set with Shining armor/Flurry Heart.  Philomena is cute but I can't bring myself to buy the whole set for her.  Especially since I also can't get past Celestia's noodle leg.

To be honest, I'm starting to get whiplash from all of the various lines Hasbro has going on.  Regular brushables, brushables with various gimmicks, Fashion Style, Styling size, mini figures,  Equestria girls, EG minis, the Playskool line,  and various store exclusive lines.   And Guardians of Harmony is only just starting to hit shelves and we are already seeing a new/sub line?

How can they keep up all of these lines at once?  What is going to the wayside to make room for this new line?  Did they always plan this as part of the Guardians of Harmony line?  I was under the impression that the GoH was going to be molded/action figures only and it hasn't been out long enough to judge how well it's going to do.  I'm just confused.
