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

To me G4.5 would imply a much bigger shift in style.  G3.5 was radically different from G3.  These are different from the current G4s, but not that different.

That's more in line with what I was thinking.

Thanks for the explanations, though. I'm still going with this not being G4.5. It just doesn't seem that different to me.

Personally I'm fine with calling in G4.5 but that's just because I want some kind of simple term to refer to these new brushables as.  So until someone can come up with another term for the "new style" brushables, I'll be sticking with 4.5!  It definitely isn't as big a shift as 3.5 was though.

Yeah that's basically what I was thinking! lol.

As an alternative for those who don't like G4.5, I've seen these on other sites called "rebranded brushables."

Rebranded brushables is a bit long for my taste, I love the generation way of referring to them because it's so short and sweet.

On MLPMerch we call them the "Reboot Series"

[Dragonflitter]

Reboot is a term often associated with tv shows and movies, though, so that might get confusing too. @_@

As far as we know the Fashion Styles and Blind Bags are staying the same style. It's just the playful size brushables that are changing. If it was a new generation or even half generation everything would change not just one line. Wouldn't "new pose brushables" be an easy enough way to describe them?

I thought a while back we were hypothetically calling the new brushables g4.3? why not something like that

Hard to say... just because we haven't seen them yet doesn't mean they aren't happening...

I agree. If that were the case then EG would be G4.5 or G5.

Or even "posed brushables". I think that would be simple enough without having to add the .5 to it. Like, I'm pretty sure that everyone who has seen these new style brushables would know what we're saying when we're like "Oh yeah, the posed brushables!" or "The new pose brushables are nice."

Maybe we can call them NP G4 for short?

Only until Hasbro redesigns again and the "new" designs become the old designs.   Also it could be confused with the jointed/posable brushables. 

Maybe we should call them the "GoH brushables" since they are (mostly) showing up in Guardians of Harmony packaging?

But EG wasn't pony.. they were pony based dolls and a completely different line

I'm going to hold off calling these anything because I do doubt they are anything related to GoH

Did anyone see this post on MLP Merch: http://www.mlpmerch.com/2016/10/reboot-series-royal-spin-along-chariots-brushables-revealed.html

and I'm thinking that if this is a blindbag set then apparently the packaging is infact a reboot packaging: http://www.mlpmerch.com/2016/10/rarity-sets-confirmed-for-next-Fim-Collection.html
