They're awful too - for a similar reason. It's not good enough to be even mildly in proportion these days - all your sexual features need to be four times their natural size - eyes, lips etc - and the makeup. I've only ever seen eyes that big on someone who's tripping HARD. I do wonder what message these kinds of toys send to children - and I condsider myself quite liberal and comfortable these things - which makes me think there really must be something a bit wrong here. I mean - not that Barbie was ever in proportion - and things don't have to be in proportion to be acceptable. But. I don't know. This current trend is too much. Anyhow - I really don't think they can be called ponies anymore. My Little Duck-Face Warp-o-trons, perhaps. It’s like those ‘Bratz’ dolls. They’re awful too – for a similar reason.

I think there is a slightly sick undertone to the over-large eye/head obsession that toy manufacturers have these days. The old style ponies were much much prettier. I really dislike the new look. Not graceful. They look more like duck-faced aliens than ponies. I think there is a slightly sick undertone to the over-large eye/head obsession that toy manufacturers have these days.

It broke my heart, and solidified my loathing for Hasbro.

I've been collection for 20+ years and I absolutely HATE the new ones. When they first came back, they were super ugly and looked nothing like the originals. But with G3 & G4, I fell in love again. Sure, they still weren't as cute as the originals, but I still thought they were pretty and worth collecting. But these new disproportionate things are atrocious... with their big, weird, slanty eyes and big ole heads on TINY little bodies. I think they simply look freakish. Hasbro has made them progressively uglier over the last couple of years, and it is really VERY very sad. I hate them. I’ve been collection for 20+ years and I absolutely HATE the new ones.

If I saw one of these without packaging or identifying material, I honestly wouldn't know what it was meant to be, some sort of giant-headed fox thing I guess. The giant-headed bug-eyed theme puts me in mind of a foetus. They are completely unrecognisable as ponies.

I think the new ones look a little, psycho and Bobble-headish. The new style do not have the adorable, realistic signature MLP head's, facial expressions and body. I hope Hasbro will bring back the old style personally. The new ones are still cool but just a little "freaky" looking rather than looking like a real Pony... Hasbro made a poor design change in my opinion.. I prefer the older style MLP’s (pre 2008) as well. I think the new ones look a little, psycho and Bobble-headish.

I bet so many people took it and wanted boy ponies or more pony types like sea ponies. Hasbro, still didn't want change, therefore, they brought out these little aliens. I wanted to weep at the abominations that sat on the shelves, tiny, ugly, and with too big heads. Then, they mess with the so-softs too! That pony looks like a purple squash! Waaah!!!

Had my daughter's 5th birthday. She's been playing with her MLPs from last summer's birthday, so I suggested to people she get some more. When she opened them I was surprised. I asked if they were baby ponies. Nope. Well, they don't go with the ones she already had. She really just wanted more plastic clothes for them because the 2 she got last year came with clothes. They are also more like the ones I had as a kid. I guessed they made the change to compete with LPS, which both my girls love, but YUCK! Do NOT like them. Had my daughter's 5th birthday.
