Rarity Paige Belle 1,855 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 Being as the EG dolls are the only thing that's making Hasbro a profit, and with a new movie coming up, will Hasbro just cancel G5 and concentrate on Equestria girls? Beautiful, Stylish, Fabulous AND evil! What more could you want? (Thanks Kyoshi for letting everyone use your sigs!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andaasonsan 3,205 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 The Equestria Girls line has been a success, but I haven't seen anything to indicate that it's the only pony related thing making them a profit. 2 Application REJECTED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,692 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 They wouldn't do anything like that. If they did, their profits would only come from Equestria Girls alone and the toys. But, since the show is earning a huge profit when it first began, I don't think it could replace the show. 2 Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurai 304 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 (edited) Why would they take one away when both lines make a large amount of profit? Edited May 4, 2014 by Kurai http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/kurai-r7957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltoist 303 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 what I hope happens is that theres still fim but they make eg a tv show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeofCanterlot 158 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 (edited) The Rainbow Rocks movie may change my mind.. but I don't think EQG has enough going for it to be a whole TV series like MLP. It's just some small little town called Canterlot which Celestia created in a laboratory somewhere to throw Lyra off regarding where the humans really are Edited May 4, 2014 by DukeofCanterlot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firetorn 187 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 Where did you hear that EG dolls are the only thing making Hasbro profit? Have you SEEN how much pony stuff the fandom buys? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest90210 3,569 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 Being as the EG dolls are the only thing that's making Hasbro a profit, and with a new movie coming up, will Hasbro just cancel G5 and concentrate on Equestria girls? MLP is extremely profitable, not just in terms of Equestria Girls. What makes you say the show or regular toy line aren't profitable? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scifidude47 2 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 With the large amounts of hate against EG, I'd honestly be a little bit suprised if Hasbro made a TV series out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastel 7,630 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 They'd never do that. It's too risky. And Equestria Girls is making profit thanks to FiM success too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine 707 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 It is so creepy and jarring to see ponies (even the humanized) on earth. EQG is SO not for me .. so if it ever came to that, I'd be sticking with the pony purists, wherever we end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostfacekiller39 23,879 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 (edited) Think about it this way:Hasbro's most profitable toy line may be Equestria Girls, but that's also one of their most expensive. I own an EQG Rarity doll, and that sucker cost me $25, the same cost as my five Rarity brushables, given, I picked up the 5 dollar Crystal Celebration ones so I can collect a lot of them But 5 brushables = 1 EQG Doll, in terms of price. So, profit may be there, but do they actually sell more EQG dolls than pony merch? That's the question Also, the ratings for the show itself are sky high, while the ratings for EQG was mediocre at best (I liked it, not gonna lie.) So, I doubt it's something to worry about. If EQG became a series, though, I'd watch both series, with a definite preference towards the ponies Edited May 4, 2014 by ghostfacekiller39 2 He who is Positively Obsessed With All Things Rarity!!!

lomk 20,666 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 I highly, highly doubt that EqG will replace FiM. I'm a business student and they always tell you to diversify (like, if you're investing and whatnot). I think that EqG was Hasbro's way of diversifying the MLP franchise. There's no way that it'll replace FiM, though. 2 I refuse to let go until you're impressed.

Pando cookie 39 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 I'd really hope not. I don't really like the whole "Equestria Girls" thing. And I think it would be a bad move considering how many fans FiM has. A lot of people would be outraged. I see EG as just another one of those "special" things shows/ games tend to do for a while to make more of a profit.

#1FluttershyFan 206 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 I don't think they will, but I don't want them to either. EG is great but My Little Pony is much better. - "Um...

FlyBunny 57 May 4, 2014 Share May 4, 2014 I will say EQG's are not the only pony item flying off the shelves, my distributors recently got some new pony items in and within literally two days of their arrival they were gone. Retailers don't gobble up product like that unless they have definite idea it's going to fly off the shelves. I did like Equestria Girls but not sure there is enough to it for a whole show. I think it will be a place twilight has to go once in a while to either solve a problem or just to help out with something and that will give the fans their EQG fix.

Metemponychosis 1,262 May 5, 2014 Share May 5, 2014 I can see this as a possibility and Equestria Girls dolls is all I can find in toy stores where I live. But I think that this would be a prohibitively dumb move. I don't this will happen. https://www.fimfiction.net/user/32864/Metemponychosis For dumb, self-important fics about mythology, ponies and fascist griffons that can't figure friendship out.

Khaoios 1,970 May 5, 2014 Share May 5, 2014 Most likely, the answer would be no........and not to mention, I think it would be a very big mistake and the fans........well, i think most of them would flip.

Zhortac 1,475 May 5, 2014 Share May 5, 2014 No, no, no, dear gawd no. There's enough teenage high school girly shows...besides, it wouldn't be MLP anymore. Feel free to add me on steam if you want to play something. Also don't be afraid to message and talk to me. I've had bad luck when I start a conversation, so I more then likely won't start one.
