Yeah. Personally, I don't mind it, but I honestly just don't like the looks of the ponies in G1-3. They look real, while G4 has the ponies look more cute and simpler. I don't see why G1-3 toys are still on the market.
Not only that, but the shows of G1-3 are too.....well, childish.
The ponies are always having tea parties, and they all act the same. G4 has the ponies have each their own fun personality! :3
Well, honestly, I don't mind the G1-3 ponies, but I definitely prefer G4. :3
