The main difference is the angle of the back hoof; on Valenshy, the sole is completely vertical. That said, Valenshy&#39;s pose is pretty close to Sweet Pocket/Bubblefish&#39;s pose, the back legs are just switched. A lot of poses are similar to poses in previous generations. For example, G3 Rainbow Dash&#39;s pose has the legs placed similarly to G1 Posey&#39;s pose, but perhaps that&#39;s a bad example due to how many similar poses there are. There&#39;s a First Tooth baby pose, Dainty&#39;s pose, G3 Tangerine Twinkle&#39;s pose, and Honeysuckle&#39;s pose is mirrored.<br />As for Sunrise Song, she is a bit different besides being mirrored, but when I first saw the Twilight, my brain immediately compared her to that pose. That said, I initially thought she was Milky Way in the split second before I looked at any context.<br />The legs don&#39;t have the &quot;blobby&quot; quality that G3s do- G3 legs taper a bit and the hooves are more round. The ankle- the spike close to the top of the back leg- isn&#39;t as defined. On a G3, the leg kind of &quot;puckers&quot; around it; you don&#39;t see that here. I think the reason the legs look more like G3 legs is because the hooves are likely round. G1 hooves are shaped like hooves, so the ankle looks a bit different from these. The curviness of the bottom of the leg doesn&#39;t help as it makes the ankle stand out a bit more than it should. G1s would have the back of the leg barely curve, if at all.<br />The Dollymix comparison is something I won&#39;t be able to unsee. I&#39;m ashamed to say I&#39;d forgotten about them! The Dollymix ponies were also a bit of a G1/G3 hybrid, but in this case, they were marketed as G3s (even the G1 characters used G3-style art) instead of G1s. Despite the difference, the similarities are there. I believe, in the case of the Dollymix ponies, they were less G3-ish because their size limited their detail.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5670051005803498800/4408055939379204030/comments/default/5479729856169689134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5670051005803498800/4408055939379204030/comments/default/5479729856169689134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.mlpmerch.com/2019/07/hasbro-announces-my-little-pony-retro.html?showComment=1563917245904#c5479729856169689134' title=''/><link rel='related' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5670051005803498800/4408055939379204030/comments/default/7617921288808442639'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='https://www.mlpmerch.com/2019/07/hasbro-announces-my-little-pony-retro.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-4408055939379204030' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5670051005803498800/posts/default/4408055939379204030' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1952486686"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="July 23, 2019 11:27 PM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-899924894106196030</id><published>2019-07-23T17:25:17.810+02:00</published><updated>2019-07-23T17:25:17.810+02:00</updated><title type='text'>No I gotta disagree there.

They couldn&#39;t have gotten the mold directly from theirs, either; G3s are larger than G4s (these are only as big as G4s) and it would probably be easier to start from scratch than shrink a G3 body. The shape of the head is off as well: the ears aren&#39;t as shapely and the cheeks and eyelids aren&#39;t very defined the way G3s&#39; are. I own a Sunrise Song and can confirm the difference in face shape.<br />Thinking about G4s, it occurs to me that the heads are probably larger so they can be assembled the same way. It&#39;s always easier to do things the same way, which is why G3.5s and G4s are built basically the same way, all the way down to the same common factory errors. I wouldn&#39;t be surprised to see these with solid legs (like G3.5s and standard-size G4s) rather than hollow legs (like older ponies), although that&#39;s probably true anyway due to the size. Remember, G3s were supposed to look like G1s, so it&#39;s not unbearably off if there are a few similarities. Though, I am aware that it doesn&#39;t bother me as much as it may bother others.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5670051005803498800/4408055939379204030/comments/default/7523859825833725184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5670051005803498800/4408055939379204030/comments/default/7523859825833725184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.mlpmerch.com/2019/07/hasbro-announces-my-little-pony-retro.html?showComment=1563511504971#c7523859825833725184' title=''/><link rel='related' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5670051005803498800/4408055939379204030/comments/default/7617921288808442639'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='https://www.mlpmerch.com/2019/07/hasbro-announces-my-little-pony-retro.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-4408055939379204030' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5670051005803498800/posts/default/4408055939379204030' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1952486686"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="July 19, 2019 6:45 AM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-1028998228007719416</id><published>2019-07-18T08:57:52.235+02:00</published><updated>2019-07-18T08:57:52.235+02:00</updated><title type='text'>...

Due to likely being drawn by G3 artists, it has some similarities to the G3 art style. This artwork features thinner bodies, more angular legs, bigger heads and eyes, and other subtle differences that these molds accentuate. They aren&#39;t intended to look like G3s, but, by complete accident, they do. The &quot;G3 style&quot; body mold looks like it&#39;s trying to be Moondancer&#39;s pose, making the earthlings look a bit like South African ponies. I wouldn&#39;t call it false advertising, it&#39;s just an unfortunate coincidence that nobody seemed to notice. I&#39;d like them to look more like G1s, but I&#39;m fine with these.

On one ha...</title><content type='html'>Major mixed feelings about these guys... On one hand, it&#39;s a cool little set. The designs look good without context. With context, however...<br />They look quite a bit like G3s, especially the open-mouthed head mold- it gives me Donkey Pose vibes (and reminds me of those G3/G3.5 hybrid fakies) and doesn&#39;t help the already G3-ish body proportions.<br />The symbols leave a lot to be desired. First of all, Twilight&#39;s is just a recolor of G1 Twilight&#39;s symbol. The others aren&#39;t really altered to fit G1&#39;s symbol standards- they&#39;re just kinda fused with their previous incarnations. Applejack gets a pass- but Rarity&#39;s symbol is literally just Sparkler&#39;s. And- perhaps most nitpicky of all- Rainbow Dash&#39;s symbol has four colors (the most any G1 had was three) and seems kinda out-of-place because of it. Imagine that somebody put a filter over a GBA game to make it monochrome green and called it a Gameboy de-make. That&#39;s what these are like to me.<br />And of COURSE we&#39;re complaining about the molds. Two body molds, two head molds... It&#39;s just lazy. Then again, I LOVE rearing ponies, so it isn&#39;t all bad.<br />And then there are little things- like how Twi has a stripe in both her mane and tail when early G1 unicorns (like the one she&#39;s based upon) only had one in the mane, the fact that Hasbro&#39;s gotten Rainbow Dash&#39;s hair colors right like twice, and Applejack&#39;s conspicuous lack of freckles- that bug me.<br />But they&#39;re so cute and new and different! How could I NOT want them?<br />The deciding factor for me will be whether they decided to print symbols on both sides. That detail will win me over, but I can&#39;t justify getting such a flawed set otherwise. Unless they make retro characters- then I&#39;ll HAVE to get Starshine!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5670051005803498800/4408055939379204030/comments/default/7617921288808442639'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/5670051005803498800/4408055939379204030/comments/default/7617921288808442639'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.mlpmerch.com/2019/07/hasbro-announces-my-little-pony-retro.html?showComment=1562910855419#c7617921288808442639' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='https://www.mlpmerch.com/2019/07/hasbro-announces-my-little-pony-retro.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-4408055939379204030' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5670051005803498800/posts/default/4408055939379204030' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.itemClass" value="pid-1952486686"/><gd:extendedProperty name="blogger.displayTime" value="July 12, 2019 7:54 AM"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-6515349468182354836</id><published>2019-07-12T06:07:38.903+02:00</published><updated>2019-07-12T06:07:38.903+02:00</updated><title type='text'>I like them.
