We just got word that Czech bedding manufacturer Jerry Fabrics, who have been making licensed bedding, pillows and covers, released their 2021 line-up. Among the new products are several sets of My Little Pony bedding in the currently known style, but an odd one is also included.
This has the somewhat mysterious name My Little Pony "MLP119" and shows three ponies that have MLP-esque features, such as cutie marks, but in a style we've not seen before. Printed on the bedding is the text "Everypony can make a difference", which is a line we've not heard before either. The set has a release date of 09/2021, the same month the new My Little Pony movie is planned to be released in theaters.Because of this release date, and the fact that this company is well-known for releasing licensed products, the current guess is that this will be the G5 style. Again, this is speculation and it's no garuntee that this will be the case, but personally we think this is quite a big reveal nonetheless.
Assuming this would be the style of My Little Pony G5, would you like this new direction Hasbro is taking? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
EDIT: The Font of the text on bedding also seems to match the one of a logo that was found on a Taobao Listing for the Secret Rings Blind Bags
Considering "Everypony" is a Hasbro trademark, I think it's very unlikely to be bootlegs (and the original G4 merch vectors weren't the best either).
ReplyDeleteMy scary twilight plush with a mow hawk agrees.
DeleteWelp, looks like row 5 on the design leaks won.

ReplyDeleteI think that artstyle is adorable! I love the mane/tail colouring, the style of the hooves, and the feathered wings! I'm not sure how I feel about the horn of the unicorn being a seperate colour to her coat, but I think I'll get used to it soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree, It’s refreshing to see an update like this!
DeleteIf this IS the G5 style...I think it’s really cute actually!
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to buy any my little pony g4.5 sheet set
ReplyDeleteThe art style is a complete disaster.
So was the original G4 merch art.
DeleteThis is nothing like 4.5. Just because the heads are circular doesn't mean it's at all the same.
DeleteHow do we know their names are Izzy, Pipp and Sunny?
ReplyDeleteThere has been movie preview screenings for investors.
DeleteI think the style is not really bad, but the faces look souless and horrifying, they look like they have been in hell or saw someone die. I am really hoping these are early designs-
ReplyDeleteYes. Reminds me of Barney The Dinosaur.
DeleteI hope they'll bring back the ponies from g3(Like Minty(She only appears in the toys but not the TV show except for the clip called "Sundae, sundae sundae"), Starsong, Toola Roola(But she appears in fame and misfortune along with Coconut Cream), Sunny Daze, Thistle Whistle, Bumblesweet, Rainbow Flash, Golden Delicious(As a female character), and other ponies from g3. I think they made Twilight Sparkle and earth pony because she was trying to be g3 Twilight Twinkle. I think G5 Pinkie Pie has wings because she was trying to be g1 Surprise. Fluttershy looks cute as a unicorn.
ReplyDeleteI hope the main cast are girls ad colorful. They said the main cast in G5 are Octavia Melody, Bonbon, Lyra Heartstrings, DJ Pon-3, Derpy Hooves and Dr. Hooves. The cast don't look very colorful and Dr.Hooves is a male pony not a female pony.
ReplyDeletehonestly the b team deserves love, add colgate/minuette, golden harvest/carot top, berrypunch/berryshine, rose, lily and daisy for you to have the complete team and you're good to go
DeleteThough different, I like that they aren’t pony life ugly and they aren’t g4 copy and paste character, but jeez them gradients burned my eyes.
ReplyDeleteAnyone search their website again to find the possible G5 bed set removed from their catalogue? The direct link to the bed set is still online though. This may very well mean that it is a confirmed design not to be released yet.
ReplyDeleteMLP119 probably means 11 September (European date writing)
ReplyDeleteHmm...I gotta say, it looks A LOT like the kind of cheap knockoffs I see all the time in catalogs. (You wouldn't BELIEVE the brazen shamelessness of some Disney princess doll ripoffs.) Clearly based on FiM/G4, looks a lot like it...yet...not. Not as great. The type of thing that'd probably make me pause and go, "Hunh, that's, sorta cute I guess." To set aside my strong doubts and pretend for a moment that Hasbro is for whatever reason planning a film starring ponies that look like that...they're not the worst? Look okay from the side. Bit creepy from the front. The ombre blue/purple hair is kinda cool. The one kinda looks like Scootaloo. I've never been a fan of the "hairy hooves," though. 8/
ReplyDeleteAlso gotta say, FiM ended well (a nice relief after the incalculable disappointment of Game of Thrones.) Tbh, if anything, I might enjoy just "random adventures of random G4 ponies"--probably not too much to do with the mane six since they've pretty much been wrung dry, at least in terms of "epic adventures" and "morals"/lessons. (They were even forced to "learn" stuff that didn't work because the bottom of the barrel was clearly being scraped for ideas.) Funny little slice-of-life-type stuff could still be fine. But I was thinking more like, designs that never made it into the show...all the loads of interesting background/minor characters, special guest voices, crossovers...just thinking out loud. Or in writing rather. Course then I'd wanna be directing this stuff to ensure it's done properly...xD
Hated Pony Life; waste of time. But I'll never forget how I discovered FiM--saw a Hub preview in Times Square and thought it looked interesting, so I looked them up when I got home. Began watching MLP on YouTube (though I'd never been a fan of the earlier versions), and was among the earliest big fans (pegasister/brony/whatever.) Boy, was that fun. The Hub was awesome. BroNYcon 2012 was awesome. Watching the whole phenomenon blow up was really something. 8') So many good times, good times...
man oh man i really hope thats an early art style because jesus christ those faces are a disaster
ReplyDeleteeverything else i'm for the most part fine with, but i cannot look at their faces without wanting to run for my life
mlp has a history of having their merch (at least Gen 4) not matching the acual show style. Like, you look at the coloring books or the bedding or the t-shirts and you cna tell that they don't look like that when their moving around.
