I just can't collect g4 anything really. I do have blind bags, but I never like the design and I never got use to it. I am not sure why they made them look the way they do. They just are not the quality of generations past as far as coloring, hair, versatility and variety. I guess I am just a total g1 and g3 fan and so far nothing else has grabbed me. Its just my style sense and opinion. I hate to say it, but I am just waiting for g4 to end. I know thats awful. I am ready to move on. I hope they make ponies that look like ponies for g5. I do respect g4 fans though and like I mentioned, the blind bags were to me the best of the g4 line as far as looking like the true show characters. Then they flooded the market with them and, I just lost interest as the molds didn't change much and it was just like buying the same thing over and over. Ponies did not really look like g3.5 either. Those were kind of quirky, but had wonderful hair. I guess each generation is someone's vision and at times some of us wont get it lol. Its good that some do because we need mlp to stay alive. I would agree that they probably made them so different to tell the boys from the girls.
