Hasbro CAN'T make boy ponies for the G3 ponies, it was on the hono-lulu post about the new DVD!
The G3 ponies/baby ponies are 'sisters' now... what would a boy pony be? It's not like it wouldn't be cool and the custom boys people are doing look awesome, but where would a boy pony fit in the butterfly-pegasus-ice-cream world
[small note, the G3 pegasi are so ugly! I agree with gusty on that one]
From a collectors point of view it would be a pain in the backside, if hasbro can't get pegasi right what would the boys look like? They'd be hideous! And it's not like they haven't brought out enough for people to be getting on with so far.
Kids are growing up quicker, and learning that the world isn't all cookies and pink. But they are also becoming fat little brats because of it! (have you SEEN kids in the toy isle lately? um, no offense intended) With boy ponies in the new G3 range it would kind of ruin that blissful innocence.
MLP is like an oasis of complete bliss away from the scummy fashion-orientated drug-taking anorexic world of barbie bratz. In the 80's the boy ponies provided the muscle and braun to save the girlies, and family values as well. Nowadays what would they be viewed as? 'Single mummy and baby pony sueing daddy pony for not paying child benefits' ponies would become nothing more than barbie dolls.
I for one want MLP to remain sweet and innocent like it always has been, if it means staying with the sister-sister pony scenario then fine. I just don't think adding boy ponies will do anybody the world of good in a new-age society of single mums and unfaithful boyfriends.
'scuse the rant I needed to say that
