I'm tired of seeing Mane 6 in merch

Not just the mane 6, but Princesses Luna, Cadence, and Celestia too. Don't get me wrong, I love Luna to pieces, but I'm just over the same faces being all there is to the greater majority of g4 merch. I wish we got all the ponies that came in the blind bags as brushables, to add some variety to the g4 toyline. But at this point, I'm just ready for g5, because I know Hasbro won't change the formula of Mane 6 and Princess everything this late in the game. I hope g5 will allow us to have more variety of ponies, as g1 did, and less "same 6 or 8 ponies with gimmick #1,206
 
I agree with you about the brushable's I do wish that they made the blind bags brushable's that they would have a lot more in the Toy line as well I do understand your point about the G5 I just hope they don't mess it up like they did for G3.5
A little excited about G5's and a little scared I love G4 it's hard to think that is only been 8 years when G4 started I kinda don't want it go I love it so much in fact it got me into collecting for mylittlepony again it help me join this form
My first g4 was the talking cadence in 2011
Up until that point I hadn't even heard about G4 yet fun fact favorite G4 twilight sparkle
 
Aren't we all?
 
I'm frustrated with it, too. Usually toylines with a large collector following are aware of the money in that fanbase and cater to it by releasing a wide variety. I've just been collecting in older generations lately and avoiding G4. Not that I don't love it, I'm just... kinda bored. XD
 
While I have a tendency to agree, I absolutely love my G4 ponies. My collection is mainly G1 & G4 (very slowly G2 is creeping in).

I also think Hasbro missed a huge market on the bling bag ponies by not making them Brushables. They would have even more of my money if they did that... but I will say they’ve broadened the merch line with the G4.5 ponies. We’ve seen a lot of the movie characters as brushables and some new ponies in brushable form.

Im excited to see what happens for G5 but I do have my reservations. The way I see it, if I don’t like them it will give me more opportunities to complete my G1,2, 4 & 4.5 collections. :rolleyespony:
 
I agree, pretty much. While I do like & understand the need for a Mane 6 or Core 7 in stuff like TV shows... for a toyline, I love seeing a wide range of toys available, like we had with G1. I don't mind the "gimmicks" too much, even... so long as it's not just constantly, and only the same characters, over and over and over again.

More characters/toys gives us more body colours, more hair colours, (eg: more opportunity for someone's favourite colour combinations), more variety, period. More options = greater chance of having something that'll appeal to everyone. :3

And I pretty much only collect the brushables, so I'd love more variety in them. :)

Would you believe me if I told you, that Capcom is even worse then Hasbro? As a Mega Man Collector, getting anything produced other then Mega Man, Proto Man, Bass, X, Zero, Vile and Sigma are exceptionally rare. And only 2 or 3 lines had a decent amount of variety.

Releasing Robot Masters, Mavericks and other humans, robots and reploids would have Capcom rolling in enough dough for the next million years most likely. But they don't for some reason.

Just remember, there will always be some collector's community worse off. Haha!

Still, I'd like for Hasbro (and Capcom) to stop this nonsense and never go back to it.
 
I agree. I have a million different Pinkie Pies. I miss G1 days. Actually, maybe I don't. I'm less likely to collect G4's for this reason. I need a reason to not want all the ponies.

My home is a wayward home for unwanted Pinkie Pie’s. She is my favourite G4 pony after all. :3
