Equestria Girls Without their Dresses · 7:28pm Jul 12th, 2013
Here's a picture of Applejack and Twilight Sparkle without any clothes.
Well, that's not quite true. Applejack and Twilight Sparkle are still wearing their painted-on one piece bra and panties, which makes it look like they're wearing underoos.
I'll never understand Hasbro's reasoning behind this. What's the point of making a fashion doll if you limit the types of fashions it's able to wear? Twilight Sparkle can't wear a tube top or strapless dress, while Applejack can.
Heaven help either of them if they try to wear something that exposes their midriffs. I mean, for Pete's sake! Even Dora the Explorer let us see her belly button!
And speaking of Dora, it's a sad commentary that not even she was able to escape the pull of corporate meddling.
They took Dora the Explorer, removed all the magical fantasy elements from the original series, and placed her in school.
There's no talking map or taking backpack. No Swiper the Fox. Everything in this new series is grounded in reality. Nickelodeon took a strong and independent role model for young girls and reduced her to another thin and pretty preteen.
But I digress...
Returning to the Twilight Sparkle and Applejack dolls, you may notice that they're both still wearing their knee-high boots.
It appears that Hasbro decided to copy the Bratz style of doll-making, in which the dolls have no feet.
You have to cover their leg stumps with either boots or shoes with feet already in them.
This is deceptively evil from a marketing standpoint. Boots can be exchanged just fine between dolls, but you can't swap shoes which expose their feet. Each doll has its own skin tone, so you need a pair of shoes with matching feet for each doll.
This first wave of Equestria Girls dolls was a bit of a disappointment.
Hopefully, Hasbro can learn from this and the next set of dolls will be better. Just look at what the fans are capable of making!
The picture right under that paragraph is broken.
Those fuckers. Not Dora. Goddamn, not her. I still have the theme song from the frickin' map stuck in my head! But this is what they reduce her to? This... this is shit. (Rest in peace, Boots)

I was afraid of that. Is it better now?
Those people have a lot of skill to pull of those cosplay.
And a lot of time, I'm guessing.
Also, the detachable shoes/no feet thing does seem... Stupid? Evil? You'd think the executives of a toy company would take the time to play test the toys themselves. I know I would.

Check out those hips as well. To fully articulate those dolls you have to flip their butt to the front. Kinda creepy looking.
I wish they were naked.
Wat?
I love the Chrysallis one!
1206863 Yep, it's fixed now.
And feetless dolls that can't have interchangeable cloths. Sheesh, is the entire board of directors childless, with no daughter to teach them the joys of dress-up?
1206893 I think the Chrysalis one is using contacts.
is anyone else disturbed by Rainbow Dash's cutie mark going into her eye? And now that my attention is on the eyes... the bottom-ish shine mark is the shape of their cutie mark... It's always the little things.

At first I started reading and was like 'Lawl lawl that's neat lawl'
And then I saw Dora's Explorer Girls. And it was a thing that existed beyond some kind of wonky fancreation.
People talk about smut 'ruining one's childhood' man that just. Ugh.
Now that you have survived jungles and forests and trolls and deserts navigating with your highly advanced epaper AI-enhanced GPS and superscience monkey can speak multiple languages... YOUR MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGE EVER WILL BE school.
You know, never mind that you could teach one.
Bronystories why are you so smart

He was never the same after he got involved with Los Zetas.
Also, peg-legged women are probably someone's fetish.

Every aspect of those dolls was, I assure you, discussed at length in a sterile Hasbro boardroom somewhere. Toy lines are a huge investment, so they're dissected until they're dead.
The same dickfaced moneygrubbing high-level corp mindset that made Equestria Girls happen (and yes, I know it's not a disaster, but let's be honest, it was a bad move and the writers managed to make it not suck) saw that there were two decisions, and one made them more money.
So they did it.
Is it terrible that the facial expressions for most of the cosplayers ruin the effect for me? That's not how Pinkie smiles, in that first one, just as an example.
I know, I know, overanalyzing, but if you see Pinkie with a hesitant smile you know something is wrong. Or bad. Or going that way, at --

Um, I, uh, I gotta, uh, go. And I need that last picture. And privacy.

Well, she is a changeling...
They do have plenty of holes to choose from.

Pinkie was probably just feeling intimidated by Rarity's Grand Galloping Gazongas. I mean, did you get a good look at Raritits? I'd take her on a motorboat ride any day.

It's a changeling. Sir, if you tell me a shapeshifting dominant doesn't stoke your curiosity in the least, I will call you a liar.

She looks too straight for me. I think the Twilight Sparkle in the first one has a sort of "I'm butch under this" vibe, tho.

the boot thing seems oddly similar to... like foot binding... is that what they want?
Dora's change makes me sad.
... That Applejack and Chrysalis tho. Homina.

Hasbro should just employ the fans.
