Generation 4, or Hasbro has completely ruined MLP for me

[malytwotails]

So the gallery for Toy Fair 2009 is up, and Hasbro's offering this year has pretty much ruined my taste for ponies. I've put up with Core 7 for the last two years, hoping that they'd return to MLP's roots of lots of colors and lots of characters, but alas, Hasbro has finally taken the line somewhere I really have no interest in following. Not

Uhg. Those are unattractive toys.
I didn't grow up with MLP dolls (hippie parents) but my old company made a game for them a couple of years ago(http://www.amazon.com/Little-Pony%C2%AE-Grand-Puzzleventure-Game/dp/B000FKD12Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1234884771&sr=8-2) and I thought the toys we had in the office for reference were pretty cute. I thought it was cool that they were all made from the same 8 molds...but these new things are completely unappealing. And what's with the molded hair? Doesn't that kill a lot of the play value for these toys?

At least they don't have their /names/ printed on their hiney like last year...

A travesty.

Apparently they don't want to drop cash for new ideas.

Wow. I'm genuinely disturbed!
