So there was a comment on my post about the new look for My Little Pony that said the new pony design looked like the alien from the movie Predator. While those of you only got to see that comment, I had the pleasure of getting the following in my email:
You know, I CAN sort of see the resemblance.

Hasbro decided to take My Little Pony in something of a different direction this year with bigger heads and smaller bodies. While this new style makes My Little Pony look more like the Littlest Pet Shop line of toys, they don’t have much in common with the ponies of last year.
Toys R Us just announced via Twitter that they are starting to stock these new MLP items so I wanted to take a look at the first ones to hit stores and find out what you think of them.
Let’s take a look at four of these new ponies in this new pose and style:
My Little Pony Styling Pony Pinkie Pie
My Little Pony Winter Sweetie Belle
So while I don’t love this change, I could get behind it, I suppose assuming they still make ponies in the traditional style.
One thing I can’t get behind?

One audience member asked [Todd] McFarlane if he could draw a “My Little Pony” sketch for his wife, as several other Image creators – including Kirkman – have already contributed. “I might be able to do it, but you must realize that Todd’s ‘My Little Pony’ is slightly different than everybody else’s,” he joked. “Dark form with the big thorns coming in, then you take that big stretchy tail and strangle people… ‘My Little Pony,’ this!” [SOURCE]
Meanwhile, over in Villainville, Dr. Doom and the Lethal Legion are plotting to take over the world. To give you an idea of what kinds of villainy we’re dealing with, they did a special cast reading at the convention. It’s plot: Dr. Doom’s quest to acquire an exclusive My Little Pony collectible. The series kicks off with a four-episode marathon on Cartoon Network September 19, and I’m strangely very excited about it. [SOURCE] and [SOURCE]
