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

[Leave a Whisper]

Someone should send Hasbro like three dozen photos of horse and MLP forelocks.... maybe they'd realize they forgot something...

This is what comes of keeping their employees and cartoonists chained to their work stations. They say that once you enter Hasbro's factories your never seen
again...

i kinda really like the new direction we're going. i was getting tired of the same mold sans or plus wings/horn for every single pony. i kind of like it, its stylized, it's new, and personally? it fits the show way better. have you seen celestias legs in the show?

pretty weird

i've been really disappointed that we havent even really had different POSES for g4 ponies, especially brushables?? like come On its pretty boring.. i agree that they definitely need some tweaking. but at least we are getting some style!!

[Bekuno]

Ugh my opinion on these went from "they're okay" to "oh god no stop".

It's nice to see them attempt new poses but aside from Celestia and a few others.. these are awful and I don't really like them. This is our g4.5 isn't it?

Well better than them giving use something even worse, lol
I think in time these will grow on some people. G3.5 took a while to grow on some collectors and at some point in time G2 took time to grow on American collectors (I say American because apparently they were way more popular across the ocean )

personally though I would love to see if (for custom reasons) the heads can be swapped around on not only the normal sized ponies in the reboot but also the princess ones

This proves it's not Cadance's head that's off, it's her hairstyle.

That is one of the problems with this generation of MLP.. they can't really recreate the hair styles for the characters without molded hair and to put it mildly, unappealing to some of us if they went that route xD

[Carrehz]

yeah, the hair doesn't help. But like I said before, I think the main problem is that some things just don't look right when translated to a 3D medium... the noodle legs and balloon heads look fine animated (plus Cadance's hairstyle helps w/ her head like Wardah mentioned), but in real life? Not so much.

It definitely looks like we're heading into G4.5 here.. Normally I hesitate to call any little change a ".5" but if these are indeed replacing the normal brushables like it appears, I'd say that's a big enough change to warrant its own name. That's just my opinion, though, of course.

It also doesn't help that her eyes are incredibly huge! With the new brushable they are kinda small, if they tweeked the eyes I'm sure it wouldn't look as bad lol.

Admittedly, I've been slacking on taking pictures of my ponies. I just haven't felt like it. I took this one about two weeks ago and it's the only side-by-side that I have, though.

I cut her mane because it was super uneven the way it came. Her tail needs to be trimmed too.

The hair actually looks pretty nice from this picture.  How is it in person?

The hair was terrible right out of the bag. It was tangled and very uneven, but that may have a lot to do with ordering these from China. I let them soak in warm water and conditioner for a few hours before attempting to comb and style it, which worked out. The hair is much softer and nicer now.

[Dragonflitter]

Yes, I agree that it seems they are trying to copy the style of the show more--but that doesn't make them better than the original G4 brushables! Some things really just don't translate to three dimensions...

[Skeen]

I still like them. 

And I think Flurry Heart is wearing a painted diaper, that's the blue we're seeing. 

[Rainbowrific Renia]

It does seem like they're trying to be more show accurate, which is why I hesitate to jump on the "this is G4.5, oh nooooo!" bandwagon. If it were G4.5, wouldn't that mean the show style would change too? It doesn't seem like that's happening. Can't the toys still be G4 since, you know, they're based off of the G4 show?

I dunno, maybe I don't fully understand the criteria for adding that .5 to a gen. Someone explain this to me, lol

I think it could be made to look better even with the current hair. Some of it just needs to be swept forward instead of all of it to the back. More plugs would help but I don't think they are necessary.

Well if the purpose of changing the toy line from the G4 style to this new G4.5 style is to try to better match the show, then it wouldn't make any sense to also try to change the show, right? The point of the new line seems to be to make the toys look more like how the show has looked all along?

There's always been an issue with the toy line not perfectly matching up with the cartoon shows. This is where some newer fans get confused and think MLP Tales counts as G2 just because it was the second cartoon. I think people are calling this line G4.5 because it looks like it's replacing G4 (like how G3.5 replaced G3) not because it does or does not match the show.

[Carrehz]

Yeah, I'd put more importance on what's going on with the toys than the corresponding cartoon when deciding what does/doesn't "count" as its own generation, if that makes sense. Otherwise Tales would be its own gen and god knows what G2 would be (since that didn't *have* a cartoon).
