I understand your feelings. I wish these people had looked at a pony first before giving them Elsa heads. In fact, I wish the Retro Mane Six moulds were being used for this gen. But for the moment, they're a breath of fresh air, and that's a huge relief for G5. I can only cross my fingers for some horsey tweaks to the toys' heads, going back to a collect-em-all mentality like with the first 3 gens, and that the toxic creeps move on.
I had no idea that G2 had ever come around until the internet. I had even believed for a time, that G3 was the first revival of MLP since the 80s. When I finally did discover them, I was shocked and confused at their appearance, and chose to ignore them. But I've got one now, and she's pretty cute.
G3 I loved immediately. Why can't we go back to G1/G3 in design? They're beautiful and diverse and wonderful. G3.5 is butt ugly. I've never liked them.
Despite owning G4s, its one of my very least favorites for its ugly, bulbous heads, poor quality, extreme character repetition and the baggage of a very pushy, toxic group that makes me feel gross sometimes for owning them. Pony Life is hideous, and the worst the brand has ever been. Thank goodness it won't last long. Its a shame, because it has some nice and unique colors and symbols. I would like to have cross-gen customs of Potion Nova, the green unipeg, and the mouse pony.
