Do You Like the Design of the Mane 6? (Human 7)

I just want to know what people think about the designs of the equestria girls. I personally have no problem with the designs, but they could use improvement. Especially Applejack and Twilight.

The only thing about them that bothers me is the skin colour... Are they supposed to be human? Or are they some sort of Smurf/Na'vi things?

Is Hasbro being overly politically correct? Or is it the other way around? Are they trying to avoid the racial representation controversy by simply colouring their human characters blue and green?

Yeah, they are cute, and cartoony without making them too unproportional, AAAAAAAAAAAAANND they're still cute like ponies   :P

Yes and no. On the one hand, I dislike the fact that the characters are essentially a matching set. They all wear skirts and boots, are of the same height and build with not even the subtlest difference, and have the same freakishly long hair lengths. I personally would have preferred some more variation in their outfits and body builds. In defense of EG though, the ponies of FiM all had the same exact body sizes, all had long manes, and whenever they did wear outfits, they were largely similar to each other as well, so I can't come down on EG too hard in all fairness. I give EG credit for at least honoring the personalities of the characters through the design choices in spite of the "matching set" theme. I've grown to just accept the fact that they all wear skirts and whatnot, even the tomboys.

I guess. When I first watched the movies, I thought it was a bit ridiculous that that was their main look. Rarity is really the only one I can fathom dressing like that. But, I suppose I don't particularly dislike their design. I mean, it is a cartoon. You can't expect 100% realistic accuracy in build and wardrobe. They were designed to be cute. In the end, mission accomplished.

The first time I saw them I couldn't stop laughing, their legs were super long and thin and the way they walked in certian scenes was just hilarious. But yea I think they did a good job capturing each mane 6's appearance....even when they are under the pressure of millions of bronies out there xD

 

don't get me started on celestia and luna though ahaha....their legs were like...double the size of the mane 7's xD aha =)=)

Admittedly at first I didn't care for them, but the more I saw them they grew on me, and even started liking them a lot more as time went on, regardless of a few design choices

It's probably the other way around. I can't blame them though honestly with how some people and Tumblr get into riots over race of the mane 6 

 

Though they probably gave them the same colors to I guess make the worlds closer together

Its grown on me a little. But honestly, I only like a couple of their designs.
For example, I like Dash and Human twilight's (with the glasses). However, I think Fluttershy's isn't that good, and I think AJ's bland-- which I blame on all the characters having to have 100% the same body types. (Would have been better if it was a sailor jupiter type thing were AJ was taller at least).

 

Past the Mane six, ANY girl with lipstick looks pretty much horrible >.<. Ugh, it just looks horribly distracting and out of place: same for those tiny "half there" mustaches that some of the guy's have.

 

 

 

 

Now, the BIG thing is that the upcoming Clothing designs for Friendship games are HORRIBLE. They look like something puked all over their clothes for an insane tie die splatter.
The first movie's dresses were really nice looking, and they had some good designs for the second movie's clothes. But now? Ugh, FG's clothing is just terrible IMO.
Reminds me of how horrible the Concept art designs were for Rainbow rocks.
