Is it common to depict a thundercloud like that though? With the lightning bolts sticking out of the cloud from both sides?Wouldn't be the first time Mountain Boy stuff weirdly ended up in G1 retro stuff. visitors can't see pics , please register or login
However that is licensed stuff, not hasbro themselves, so it's a bit different. We had shirts here with Windy with pink glittery hair and Princess Amethyst with rainbow hair so *shrug*.

Hasbro dictates what can be done with the MLP license. they aren't going to approve something that they believe poorly reflects on the brand. :3 That said, that is a cute lil pony.

Yeah, but they're not going to care if the pony is not quite accurate to 30 years ago.Or if they do, someone didn't get the memo, because we also had white Moonstone on shirts here >.>

I've had people tell me numerous times in irritating fashion, "no, she's based on SPARKLER, look at her CUTIE MARK"I take it the people saying that were mostly bronies Yeah, for the longest time I had the thought that Rarity was technically a mix of:-G1 Glory: Design-G1 Sparkler: Symbol-G3 Rarity: Name-G3 Rainbow Dash: PersonalityGlad to see Hasbro putting both G1 inspos there. Glory deserved credit where it was due.

IMO the lightning bolts are inspired by Firefly's symbol. Some of her toys had thinner lightning bolts than others and Rainbow Dash's reminds me of the "thin lightning" ones. If you think about how long Firefly's lightning bolts are, the bolts on Rainbow Dash are about the same length--with a cloud over the middle part.
Pinkie's artwork just has an error. They forgot to color that eyewhite in.What the heck at "the original Mane Six"? They were just the first ever set. Sorry, but I rebuke this term when it comes to G1 A little sad there is no love for G3 inspiration. RD and Pinkie got their looks from G3 and Rarity got her personality from G3 RD. I also laughed at "Applejack inspired by Applejack".

I also laughed at "Applejack inspired by Applejack".I felt the same way! WHen I saw "Applejack inspired by Applejack" I fully expected to see "Pinkie Pie inspired by Pinkie Pie." But ... Surprise? G4 Pinkie's personality might have come from Surprise, but her looks were totally inspired by G3 Pinkie. There's no reason to erase G3 inspiration, they are already are putting out G3 toys they claim as "retro."
Can someone post the pictures from that hasbro.com page? It insists on redirecting me to the Norwegian version of the page, which uh, doesn't exist
