"we'd like them in the model" to which I replied that we'd probably like to stick with what we have XD

That's awesome! I had wrote "not confirmed by Hasbro" because I forgot to ask them that and I somehow missed the Hasbro Q&A

Glad to hear it was actually confirmed! I think Jewel said that she taped the Q&A... anyone seen that posted somewhere? I'm trying to keep up with all the news... too many shipping boxes around at the moment

Mmm...I'm gonna stick to calling them the Fat Head ponies. You'd know which I was referring to, wouldn't you?

PS, Sweetie Belle isn't a cat or a fish...she's quite obviously a toad!

That was really smart of you to think to ask! I hope this will put the generation 3/4 debacle to rest!!

i prefer call they as g4, because they are really different from a g3

Haha, what gives Hasbro the right to tell us what we can and can't call these? THEY never coined the G1, G2 or G3 tag, the collectors did. As much as I personally have no idea what to call them (I'm leaning towards G3 myself*), I don't think we should give a tin of beans about what they think.

*If these were NEW ponies with this new design, they'd definitely be G4s to me, but the fact they remain primarily G3 ponies... I've no idea... :\

i just hope G4s will look more like ponies and less like Bratz...

I've just been calling them G3ETs... They remind me too much of Aliens with their big heads and big eyes, just like someone stated earlier. I don't even know how kids can think they're cute.

I would like to see them called G4 as they are NOT the same, and Hasbro must know they have upset a lot of the MLP community by bringing them out. I don't know if they have stopped making the proper G3s, but I certainly can't buy them anywhere in the UK, except eBay and here

so how about

G-nomes
G-oh-no-you-didn't
G3.666
G3-even-G2-was-better
Pony-Bratz

I like josiekat's 'mules' though

Bring back the proper G3!!!

I like toads, so she must be something uglier.

I'm so not a fan of these ponies! Just look how each leg is bigger than the actual body. What if we looked like that? Gross! Their noses remind me of a combination of a pig and a duck... really unusual.

I think they're completely acceptable and they deserve more! When I say more, I'm trying to say more fans and less haters! Of course other generations like G1 or G3 are more successful than the redesigned ponies, because they're classic and very original. Didn't you saw how hateful some haters could be? (on YouTube) Here's a link of a disappointing video (the creator is a collector of MLP).
