They're just exaggerated in a style I have always strongly preferred. It much more strongly highlights the back leg joints, which can make it a lot more natural for us humans to understand what the heck is happening when they're moving them. (I have genuinely felt bad for many novice artists when I've seen them struggling to understand the way FiM ponies' mush city leg designs work and where the joints were supposed to be.)<br /><br />I used to use a similar style for the legs in my own artwork. I've since moved to something a lot more realistic, but done right I still absolutely adore this kind of leg design.DaylightGlistenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798324684893451141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-72846311766619311012019-11-09T05:23:51.497+01:002019-11-09T05:23:51.497+01:00Personally, I love these designs. I've followe...Personally, I love these designs. I've followed MLP since Generation 2 was the current gen, and while I absolutely love the the characters and many of the stories and world of G4, I never have liked the style of it.It's very round, very chibi, very cutesy, and I'm a much bigger fan of angular designs, which this gives. Not to mention... THEY HAVE HORSE LEGS. AND FEATHERS. That's a heck of a YES from me! I like the muzzles more as well, they're quite boxy and from a side view are a bit more like horse muzzles than we've seen from FiM.<br /><br />That's not to say there aren't things I dislike about them, of course. They have very wide heads to make way for very forward-facing eyes which isn't at all like a horse or pony. Generally predators like us have forward-facing eyes, prey like horses have outward-facing eyes and it's something most gens have generally paid respect to. I do really enjoy the eye shapes themselves though! It looks like these figures are significantly larger than FiM's usual size as well, which was another complaint I've had about the FiM figures, so that's a welcome upgrade too.<br /><br />These designs do look a lot more like the G5 designs that got leaked quite a long time ago now, even with the added white in Rarity's hair and the feathers on their hooves. It would be very interesting either way, if this is the style of the new movie or the new generation. They've done at least one .5 gen before, I wouldn't be too surprised if they did it again.DaylightGlistenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798324684893451141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-10102360457385449842019-11-05T16:56:30.017+01:002019-11-05T16:56:30.017+01:00Ugly and creepy!Ugly and creepy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-71172233628341676162019-11-04T15:58:56.473+01:002019-11-04T15:58:56.473+01:00What on earth is going on with the back legs?

And why are they more anime? I've seen better designs from indie artists.<br /><br />There are small parts that are nice, but I wasn't a whole fan of the design of G4 as it was because the head sculpt looks a lot less of equine structure. The muzzle wasn't square enough. Now with the balloon heads, arched muzzle and oversized ears, they look a lot less of a horse- a feline head on a deer body. The nostrils don't help aesthetically, either.<br /><br />They could do so much with CGI (in regards to any upcoming movie or possible direct-to-disk shorts, which Hasbro is notorious for using their media to sell their toys in the last 3 decades...), like fix the initial design so they are more horse-like since they can toe into uncanny valley.<br /><br /><br />Then again, I am thinking more as an adult collector, not as a child that would cry and scream at not having a new pony regardless of how anime it looks. Some kids just don't care. I nope'd out of G3 half way through because of how lackluster the toys became being over-saturated with the same annoying characters.<br /><br />With G4 having more adult collectors of the toys than ever it makes me wonder what kind of "market testing" was done. Not all collectors are going to buy new stuff just because it has a familiar logo slapped on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-18373983976028240732019-11-04T12:57:33.902+01:002019-11-04T12:57:33.902+01:00Thank you for the information.
