ManaMinori 4,145 January 17, 2019 Share January 17, 2019 So it's no surprise that toylines like Barbie have been more inclusive with representing different body types. MLP, similarly, has- for the first time ever in their MLP animated series, so has FiM. Characters like Mrs. Cake, who's short and pudgy, Whoa Nelly who is all around thikk, and Fleur dis Lis, who is tall and slender exist, but as background characters. Howwwwwever, this aspect hasn't really bled over into their toyline, as all the ponies that have gotten made have the same body type. Do you think we'll see Hasbro be more progressive and give its main characters these different body types, as well as marketing them as such? Should relatability toward these characters incorporate body size, and not just be limited to personality? 1 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlitterFlutter 1,584 January 17, 2019 Share January 17, 2019 The thing is they use the same molds to make most of the toys. So long story short. No i dont think they will make new molds just for some background characters that are not particularly popular. 1 Credit to Kiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExplosionMare 18,090 January 17, 2019 Share January 17, 2019 I’d personally like that, but unless Hasbro stops being lazy and using the same two molds it probably won’t happen. 1 Boom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest January 17, 2019 Share January 17, 2019 So long as the body types they are promoting are healthy, I see nothing wrong with this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat-kun 2,530 January 17, 2019 Share January 17, 2019 Body types are fine. Obesity, malnutrition, and endocrine disorders are not. Yeah, I'm looking at you global socialists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MangoFoalix 25,038 January 17, 2019 Share January 17, 2019 More body types? I mean, I guess so. I don't really think that having many body types is really that important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt a little girl (or boy) is going to look at their plastic equine and think, "Gee, my pony is awful skinny and pretty. I should lose weight so I can look just like her! I'll sew on a couple of extra legs and paint myself hot pink while I'm at it!" There's a major difference between Barbies and My Little Pony toys--one is a representation of a woman, one is an anthropomorphic animal.
