Rainbow Magic's wings are missing o.O. I was going to make a cynical comment about the choice of image because one of the Fluttershys looks a lot like Rainbow Magic, but missing off the wings in the playdoh version isn't a great way of doing that.As a kid, I would have probably had a monumental grudge against Hasbro for missing her wings off xD. Rainbow Magic was super special to me back then On another note, if Hasbro want to cater to G1 fans, maybe do more to support Basic Fun instead of telling everyone that they basically have nothing to do with the retros. And maybe also ditch the mane 6 core pony squad idea and get back to actual creative different ideas and themes centred on a toyline...?I'm not bothered about them remaking G1 or even making ponies that look like G1 ever again, if they don't want to. But at least give the kids the chance to choose more and imagine more, rather than telling them a fixed story and only selling them the characters from that story.

I never had any of the MLP lunch boxes as a kid.Honestly I think the only MLP merch I had as a kid other than a few of the ponies was a puzzle But yes I have noticed Hasbro posting these things, along with their G4 remakes of some 80's sitcom opening themes (which for those I honestly cringe )Sad to see that there are still some people hating on Hasbro bringing this stuff to the forefront
I think they have realized the G4 brony fad has died down a lot; and now they are like “oh yeah remember the other group of pony fans? Let’s cater to them now!”
Those folks who are hating on this, do they even realize that without G1 there would be no G4. Show some respect for how the brand started. *sigh* That's why I have distanced myself from G4.
The cool thing about Hasbro is that it never really forgets its generations,
As much as I love all generations ofMy Little Pony, I've never found this to be a good counter for the pre-G4 haters.

It might just be me, but when I was a kid it was kind of the cusp of changing from metal to plastic lunchboxes. And I just didn't like the plastic lunchboxes as much because they were completely flat (most of the lunchboxes I had were dimensional) and they felt way cheaper. This would have been an awesome compromise. Because this is just OK in my opinion.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login ohhhh ahhhh I had that lunchbox as a kid! came with a thermos too. Did you notice it's the same design as the one originally posted by the OP of this thread Which means you need it.

Dude, if someone is that invested in hating on a toy you can't help them. It's the whole Transformers Beast Wars "truck not monkey" thing. It's not based on logic, it's based on emotion and, in this case, insecurity.What really bothers them is the idea that they might like something "girly" because they see "girly" as being "bad." Therefore they try to create this narrative where all the OTHER generations of MLP were girly, but not this one. "We're the real target demographic of FIM!" Absolutely ridiculous. MLP FIM is girly and is aimed squarely at 4 - 10 year old girls.But you will only upset them by pointing out the similarities between the generations, because you are destroying the narrative that they are using to shield their fragile, fragile masculinity.
But yeah, I get what you mean. I'm just really defensive of things I like when they hate it for untrue reasons (in fact, I'm even like that for things I don't like), I'll just never understand the need to invent reasons to hate things they already hate - they already hate it, so why make up reasons if you have them already, if that makes sense?
