Alright let me start off by saying I love FiM! The show is witty, well written, and it appeals to all ages which is a hard thing to do. The characters have a variety of personalities and teach wonderful life lessons. While I'm a gen3 fan girl, I really enjoy and appreciate gen4.
However I'm not so big on the toys. Please don't get me wrong the wide eyes and bright smiles are adorable! The cutie marks are original and creative. I have a a small army of them forming on my book shelf. :LOL: I just don't like how small they are. I know they're made for smaller hands but I can't hold them as well as my gen3 or gen1 ponies. I'm also saddened by the lack of poses. They look cut and paste to me. Its the same thing with the blind bags. Now again don't get me wrong, I looove the blind bags and I understand why they all have the same molds but why didn't Fluttershy get her own mold? Also I wish there wasn't as much focus on the main 6. Now I know they're the center of the show but I wish we could put the spotlight on some other ponies.
And I just have to throw this in...why is there is so much pink Celestia. I know little girls love pink but I think they and everyone else would appreciate the accurate white Celestia
I am happy to see Hasbro has been adding more accurate Celestia toys and I believe a Fluttershy mold is coming soon! I also like how they're catering to fans with background character toys. I saw a lovely Ocativa plush at Walmart the other day and I was thrilled! So to wrap up my rant I really do like gen 4. I enjoy collecting the toys and blind bags, I'm just not as happy with it as I'd like to be.
So what are your thoughts?
