Their faces remind me too much of the previous MLP toys, which makes me very hesitant to get any of them.
Heh, that is how I'm seeing Generation 4, as a minor effort to rein in the excesses of Generation 3.5. Pinkie Pie's hair even looks like the G3.5 version in the Main Five's

I just think it'd be cool if they turned more of the "extra" ponies from the show into toys—and vice versa: I love the name "Dewdrop Dazzle" and would enjoy hearing it aloud. ...Granted I don't know what kind of story would involve a pony who likes to play in the rain, but... Whoa, now I'm imagining an MLP parody of the opening chapter of It!
Second favorite extra pony name: Rainbow Flash.
If any "brony" specific toy gets made, it's going to be a Derpy figurine.
I hear Lily Blossom is popular for modding into Derpy. I wonder if Lily and Derpy are sisters.
There's structured magic that you learn by study, from books and Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns; then there's wild magic that works on intent rather than on a rigidly-defined set of instructions coded into the spell itself.
The second kind is actually how I've defined "Earth pony magic": as subtle effects that are very difficult to control or quantify, to the point where one can be fooled into thinking Earth ponies aren't magical at all. This is why there can be disagreement about whether Pinkie Sense predicts things or makes things happen.
