For those who don't know what the "Core 7" is..
It's when, around 2007 until 2010 or so, Hasbro decided to just release seven ponies over and over again. They tried to give them new personalities which resulted in the common G3.5 personalities: Fashionista Dash, tomboy Scootaloo, leader Pinkie, etc. Fans dislike G3.5 for many reasons. I personally loathe it because everyone became boring, most of the good ponies suddenly disappeared, and Rainbow Dash became crap. |

G3.5 gave us Toola Roola with a hime-cut. That's a good thing |

I didn't think there was a lot of hate towards the initial G3 line, based on what I've read in discucssions on here in the past. It'd been a little while since the G2 line had come out (not to be confused with Pony Tales) and it was a stylistic change from the more realistic toys that had come out in the previous generation.
But I don't know. I only joined the fandom because of FiM and only have the vaguest recollection of my sister's fascination of the older toys. |

The G3 lines is pretty well-liked within the non-brony fandom. G3.5 however is universally loathed. |

Am I right in guessing that you're a long time collector, Anon3? |

I suppose. |

G3- I found the art kind of unnerving, but the cartoons are alittle better.
G3.5- Weirdly enough, I'm less unnerved by the art... But the cartoons are horrible compared to G3's. |

Dear 607367:
I guess I'm not in this universe, because I like G3.5. Leilana Lappy |

A Very Minty Christmas was the first pony cartoon of any kind I ever saw, so I shall forever have a special fondness for G3. Especially Pinkie pie, Rainbow Dash, and Minty. G3.5 ruined my childhood favourites and killed what was actually on the verge of becoming a good franchise. Then FiM came along and made everything good again, in fact, better than before. However, as much as I love Derpy Hooves, and ADORE FiM!Pinkie, a small part of my soul shall forever cry out “Minty is best pony!” |
