ManaMinori 4,149 February 28, 2017 Share February 28, 2017 Back in the 1980’s, Hasbro and a Japanese company called Takara (now called Takara Tomy) had a give and take relationship with licensing. Takara produced a line of My Little Pony characters called MLP- Stylish Pony, and their two main characters were twin sisters, Pinky and Milky, and their younger siblings, Lily and Popo. They have a drastically different style than Hasbro’s ponies, who (all except for g1.5) were quadrupeds. But they were pretty cute, all the same. How would Bronies feel if they got these exact same ponies (same bases, same characters- Pinky, Milky, Popo, and Lily) for generation 5? Would this Japanese exclusive ponies from Hasbro be a success elsewhere?

Ganondorf8 11,759 February 28, 2017 Share February 28, 2017 I personally don't see anything wrong with them though I can't speak for other bronies who I am sure will look at these images and wonder what they are supposed to be. These characters could be a special kind of pony with similar but different characteristics compared to what we've come to see in generation four, otherwise Hasbro would need to have a really big explanation as to the sudden change in design.

Nerdy Luigi 2,065 February 28, 2017 Share February 28, 2017 I hope they don't... But at least you didn't say GEN 3... Oh my word those ponies look like the stuff of NIGHTMARES... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnaRocketQueen 55 February 28, 2017 Share February 28, 2017 Are those ponies Takaras? I always liked those, though I know a lot of people don't. I'd like to see the G1 ponies in future generations, but they'd have to be in a different design and world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fhaolan 4,494 February 28, 2017 Share February 28, 2017 I forgot all about the Takara ponies and their weird place in the franchise. Thanks for the reminder. Unfortunately, or not depending on your point of view, I don't think it would fly. At least, not without considerable changes to the models. They're just too... simple... to carry in the modern market. It's really the small, black eyes that stick out to me as being hard to work with outside of the toy line.

I'd like to see the G1 ponies in future generations, but they'd have to be in a different design and world. uh, yeah....I kinda stated that in the op that they were Takaras. I was always under the impression that many people didn't even know they existed. But they're cute. I can't see why anyone wouldn't like them, if they did know they existed. There could always be references?

(like the g3 face Pinkie pulled off in TMPP) I was asking like are those ponies Takaras because I was sure they looked different to that, but google search yes they are. I must've been thinking of another MLP-like toyline. I know there are a few out there. I think a lot of people don't like them simply because they like MLP more.
