New G4 pony toy designs

[caseysealia]

The art style looks very much like what is currently in if you watch cartoons.

Please provide a couple of different cartoons where horses look like this (and are not meant to be a parody of MLP).
I can think of Unikitty when I see Pinkie Pie, but I can't come up with anything else. Also, Unikitty is already a bit older by now.

I was thinking mostly human centered cartoons like the newer Power Puff Girls and Teen Titans Go but there is a cartoon called Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty that these guys would look right at home in.

This just confirms that these redesigns look a lot like cats and people
And now that you mentioned TTG! all I see is Beast Boy when I look at them.

Yeah it basically looks like they took the current cartoon trends and tried to apply them to ponies. Since they are not G5 and G5 isn't ready yet I wonder if these are just Hasbro's way to keep ponies in the stores since the FIM show ended. Maybe there will be a hastily made web series to go along with them.

Like Newborn Cuties...

I guess we can at least be happy that the duck-face baby Twilight isn’t the new look of MLP? Just a grim reminder that it can ALWAYS get worse...

Love that show (well, I do when it isn't having gross moments that is... I do have a nostalgic attachment to it, though.)  I wouldn't say they fitted in there, though they look closer to Unikitty's design, which is pretty different in terms of design.

I was pretty much thinking of Unikitty myself when I saw them, I just didn't say (I know at least one person here did.)

Honestly, the first thing I thought of when I saw them was Hairdorables. Except Hairdorables are nowhere near as creepy as these things (and that's saying something, since I'm personally not a fan of 'em).

They look cute to me, but definitely more like cats than ponies. It reminds me of this moment from The Glass Princess where Heart Throb turns into a kitty.

I want to cry!!! I was hoping for good ponies!!! These are just horrible! These are not ponies! They are cats with hooves! I thought G4 looked like deer. Those are more cute then these things! Hasbro is trying to taint that pony name!!!!!

These things are HORRIFYING. Like, yes, they could be worse, but I like to have standards higher than slightly above rock bottom. 
I'll just wait until Hasbro comes to their senses and save myself some cash.

Me too! It's the way the eyes are IMO. The way they're all looking to the side and the "flatness" of it. To me it's a mix of Hairdoables and those Poopsie unicorns.

Seems like that's the best course of action.

I feel like hairdorables is doing better at ponies than these abominations, even if it's got a weird thick neck I can recognize it as a horse animal

This illustrates well why unsculpted eyes are a horrendous idea (they're like....sort of concave here...??!?) but other than that this is adorable! Awesome barrette too.

I actually have all 3 of the equines in that line lol. The Unicorn is the only one that doesn't seem to have proper eye markings while the Zebra and Pony does from the looks of it... or at least small indents of where the eyes are supposed to go

Anyway Hasbro needs to go back to pony and not these weird hybrids (although Hybrids are fun just not how Hasbro is executing the look lol)

[SaraMari]

Ragamuffin yes exactly, please sculpt on some eyes. Is it really going to sky rocket production costs if they do or something?

[Shy Violet]

  Yikes, horrifying is right. These look like toddler toys. I really hope this is a filler line and G5 has better things in store. I'm very disappointed
