REDESIGNING EQUESTRIA GIRLS (+plus going over their dolls)

hello my name is Emma and let me tell you something about 10 year old me she was obsessed with two things Five Nights at Freddy's and My Little Pony now let me tell you when this movie came out my world flipped I was obsessed with this concept I watched this movie over and over and later when Rainbow Rocks came out it was the same ordeal so naturally I decided to revisit it in my grown age to see how it held up and uh look it's nothing to write home about the story is basic and of course the purpose of anything introduced into the franchise is to sell toys so I won't fault it for that it's not an impossible watch but I feel like if I didn't have Nostalgia on my side I would have turned it off one thing though I will comment on is the character designs from janky proportions and outfits no variety and body types I knew I had to do a redesign but I also knew I had another big thing I had to take into consideration before going into this the toy lines MLP no matter how good the show is will always be tied to their products in every iteration the goal is to sell toys so Hasbro obviously put out a dollar and to Major success being one of the most successful spin-offs in the MLP fim generation I myself had a handful of these dolls but you know I'm just gonna say it look at girls most of them are barely possible and I know we're spoiled now with the quality of the doll lines currently such as LOL rainbow high and the new Monster High reboot but I'm sure it didn't have to be this bad so as I go through my designs of the girls I will also be picking out a couple dolls of the characters that stuck out to me whether they're good or bad and we'll go over them also I would like to say if you like these designs already or love the dolls know that this is just my opinion I don't mean any harm I just wanted to give a little bit of my input and poke some fun and you know you can continue to like whatever you want all right with that out of the way let's get to the first design [Music] going into this I knew I wanted three things that the series lacked unique body types outfits that are more detailed and thought out and better proportions and Anatomy I took inspiration from the Monster High reboot in their inclusion of different body types so I decided to go with three different body types and share them between the girls so it's kind of equal in a little representation you know I didn't go too far but I think it's better than what we had Rarity's design in the movie is one I'm kind of on the fence about it's not bad but for some reason it just doesn't scream her to me and I know people will disagree but that's just how I feel I feel like it makes her look a little young and I always see her as more mature so I guess it just doesn't translate to me her dolls as most of the dolls on my list vary greatly but she does have some stinkers for sure for example this rainbow rocks Rarity that it just it just looks gross I really dislike the Rainbow Rocks line I feel like they just didn't know what to do for most of these dolls the dress looks awful it just doesn't look like something she'd wear and the streak of a kiss and uh I don't know why they chose this streak of piss hair color her accessories are cool I guess I don't know that guitar is kind of cool and the pony's cute I don't know why they didn't go for just a Blue Streak of hair instead of yellow green this is another Rainbow Rocks doll that I think is a bit better and a little more cohesive most of the question girls though like this are stiff as a board with no articulation I do like the blue and the hair though I think it goes good with her color scheme okay now this is where it gets good people the mini dolls were where it was at okay they did ever pretty much everything right they um this doll is so cute I don't know everything on these dolls is just exaggerated perfectly and uh just look at her hair man look at her hair oh so cute they definitely had way more Direction than anything in the main line of dolls like a hundred percent no question getting into my design I went with her having a thicker body types similar to the new Draculaura body type which I love by the way I'm not a doll collector but if I were to get into it she would definitely be the first one I would buy like yeah no question I wanted her to look slightly older I gave her kind of a 50s Marilyn Monroe look I took inspiration off of some of her outfits um not really directly just kind of from my mind I'll put up some pictures but you know her outfit compared to my other designs is a little simplified but I think it adds a little Elegance I realize now she kind of looks like a Monster High doll I had as a kid I think her name cat something I don't remember but yeah I guess I just took a little inspiration from her I kept the color scheme pretty similar to the original design I brought in more uh purple and blue I made it more of a main color I like the gold so I kept that and yeah I think she turned out okay she's not my favorite out of the bunch I think there is some things I could have improved on but you know gotta just let it go sometimes so yeah here she is I think she's cute or shy [Music] Fluttershy's design is one I don't hate as much you know she is my favorite so you know I'm a little biased but I think the only problem I have with her overall thing is the color green they used I think they should have used a way more turquoise kind of green kind of like her Grand Galloping Gala outfit also the polka dots on her boots are a little random that's a little nitpicky but oh well so Fluttershy's dolls are you know interesting this doll was a part of a reboot I believe don't quote me on that I'm just guessing from what I've seen I can tell that this is like later on the thing about them is just kind of uncanny to me they are definitely a improvement from previous dolls but I still think they're a little weird for some reason this doll is just giving me like Hannah Montana Vibes the biggest problem I have with most of Fluttershy's dolls is that they do not get her face right ever like ever there's not one Fluttershy doll where I'm like yes that's her like no I could not tell you I remember this doll from when I was into Equestria Girls I kind of wanted this doll I think at one point there will be a lot of rainbow rocks on this list yeah I remember I only really like the headphones I don't know I was weird as a kid I just like loved stuff like this but looking at they do not make sense her ears are inconsistencies aside the colors on this doll just um Rainbow Rocks is so Random they just threw a bunch of fish together and it was like does not work for most of the the main six like no another mini doll and I would like to specifically point this one out because I have this one as a child and honestly I still love them they're so they're so good I specifically wanted to point this one out because it improves upon the original design look at the cream they used look at the green they used it's perfect they also um change the little boot socks and I think I don't know it just works it's just so good the sculpting the outfit they look more pleasing in this style than they do in the movies style I don't know I really like I really like these dolls you're gonna see these pop up a lot I wanted Fluttershy to be flowy kind of Indie I will be honest I haven't watched past the second movie I should have for this movie but I didn't think it was that important if I do do a part two to this I will watch all the movies but for right now I I don't think it's necessary I gave her the tall and skinny body type because I always think that kind of fits her I always think of her as a like a Philly in the show so that's just how I imagine her I gave her a crossbody bag and leaned into the green I know she doesn't have a lot of green in her Pony design but I think that color really complements her so I just went with that this body type resembles the original designs the most I figured I should include those body types I just improved upon them and made the proportions a little better I hope she's my favorite out of all the designs I did I think she turned out probably the best in my opinion Applejack's movie design makes the most sense as is it's very straightforward I think since they use such a dissaturated orange in her skin they could have brought in like a more vibrant Orange in her clothing since it's like 80 percent of her Pony design I do however really love the boots in the shirt and I think it really fits the country Vibe obviously her dolls surprisingly are the best I've seen out of the six girls surprising because Applejack's not the most popular character in The fandom but nevertheless I love this doll honestly like she's beautiful her face is amazing I just love the outfit I think it's one of the best Equestria Girl doll outfit I've seen there is one problem however with this doll uh I looked at a different picture and I mean you could play play a couple games of tic-tac-toe on my forehead and under that hair it just keeps going she would look crazy bald that's all I'm gonna say she really looks like those FNAF danglers and it's a shame because this is a beautiful doll this doll is so cluttered in the worst way possible the amount of patterns and stuff is so unnecessary the outfit doesn't even make sense for her and though I don't think every character should be put in a box with no changes to their style if you put this doll in grayscale and took away all the Apple details I would not be able to tell you that's Applejack and that is a problem when you're trying to make a identifiable character to end on some good AJ because there surprisingly is a lot I'll go through a couple quickly this mini doll obviously I gotta bring these up whenever I can improves upon the design again adds Perfect Details look at the stitching look at the boots perfect walk this hands down is the best Rainbow Rock stall I've I've seen her outfit her hair her face beautiful look at her surfboard oh my God it's so cute all right now for my AJ I elevated her outfit by bringing in more accents and patterns I wanted her to look like she was in a rodeo or something of the sword also as I said before about her design I wanted to add more orange into her outfit and I think I did it successfully I can't really tell if it doesn't look right or not but I think it's okay I took inspiration from her original shirt and got rid of the blue and replaced it with a brown because I wanted her to have a really earthy vibe to her also I added a little ribbon on the back of her hat because it's cute there she is feeling really good something really is crazy that like you could never like [Music] Rainbow Dash's design is really what inspired me to do this it's always been one of my least favorites out of the bunch and I think it's because the base they use for the first wave of skirt and big boots really didn't fit the sporty Vibe she got those lace-up boot Converse those boot those Converse pants her dolls are also you know pretty terrible this one is from the reboot I don't know if it's a budget doll it kind of looks like a budget doll yeah it probably is now that I'm looking at it it doesn't have any articulation but it's still bad it doesn't matter her hair is lacking all of the rainbow her outfit is frumpy it has no direction this is not something I think this character would wear maybe the shoes but that's about it the wings are kind of cool though kind of ugly too but kind of cool another another horrible Rainbow Rocks you know skirt is awful this design feels very dated for the time period it was coming out and her face is strange the eyes kind of have that nine yard stare it's funny how the only character that would actually work with Rainbow Rocks has a terrible design anyway make it make sense I don't know this is just another terrible doll I don't know if this is a bunch at all but honestly all of the Equestria Girl dolls look like budget dolls all I gotta say is why what is this green what is it's like a diarrhea green uh why why did they choose these colors for her it doesn't make any sense anyway for my Rainbow Dash design I knew I wanted to go heavily in the draw Direction head of every team kind of vibe I gave her a Letterman's jacket a fanny pack I really wanted her to be a roller skater because I feel like a big staple of My Little Pony is roller skating for some reason I feel like in every iteration every generation they always have a character that's roller skating I don't know if they had it in the show at all but they definitely had it in these movies but yeah I just wanted to add that I don't know it's like nostalgic to me or something I brought like more of her eye color into her design because I think it was lacking in the original but I just brought more of it in I also gave her hair like a little lightning bolt at the end I thought that was like cool and I like that idea because it like highlights her cutie mark yeah here she is she is probably my second favorite I don't know let me know what you think Pinkie Pie is another one that really made me want to do this I hate I hate the pink they used for her skirt it reminds me of the default colors in Ms paint I don't know something about it just clashes so badly with her hair in my opinion if you look this design it's fine but I get the direction they were going in but I feel like it was way too much start with the good get into the bad they just always exaggerate like look at her hair the sculpting's so good they fixed the pink oh it's beautiful ah where's her neck the face actually is decent the color scheme's not that bad but I feel like if this is the promotional picture you're using to sell the doll shouldn't look like that that's all I'm gonna say this doll is actually very cute and it actually has articulation I will say I'm not a big fan of the dress or random yellow leg I don't know but this one's actually pretty decent for I felt like overalls really fit her for some reason I gave her a color block dress and brought her cutie my colors in more I brought in more yellow because I felt like the original was really lacking yellow I feel like whenever they design these dolls they forgot colors that they had already like I feel like they could have just used what they had instead of bringing random junk I gave her rain boots I don't know why I gave her rain boots now but I felt like it was kind of cute um I did bring in the bows because I did like the bows I thought that was cute and gave her a little confetti in her hair she turned out pretty cute um something's off about it but I don't know what Twilight Sparkle you really did prove that friendship is Magic thanks Miss America last but not least I you know what I actually do like a lot about Twilight's design I like the bow tie and her leg warmers I think the leg warmers was the best use I saw out of the boot formula is that the right word formula I don't know I don't really like the black shoes though I think Mary Janes would have been better I know this doll is technically Equestria Girl Universe Twilight but I've noticed on her doll specifically how bad the glasses are who approved this glasses design I would like to know because that does not look right it's not even like they have weird proportions how do they mess up so badly they did not need to make the glasses look like that [Music] the hair is bad the hair is very bad her forehead looks huge and she has bangs I don't even know how they did that it looks it looks like they put a piece of gum and put it on her head the outfit is completely random I don't know the lore I don't know the lore I don't know why she has giant Wings it's probably not even a part of anything because they do the random Mission imaginable calming down with this beauty it's like they read my mind because they fix everything I say her leg warmers are cuter than they were and they gave her what Mary Jane's thank you but in all honesty though look at the hair okay that's beautiful thing I want all these dolls now I don't even like to display anything like that but I want all of them for my design I wanted Twilight to have a much more Royal look I made her a little more dressed up in case I ever redesigned EG Twilight because there would be way more distinction between them and I think they really should have made Twilight's design way more formal than they did to give her even more of a disconnect from the students in the high school I don't know I just think that's kind of a good idea and it gives like makeover potential missed opportunity I made her look a little more fancy I didn't go overboard but I just added little elements that kind of elevated it to like the crown hair clip and the gloves I thought that kind of made it look more fancy yeah with that we're all good this was a lot of fun to do um it's something I would definitely do another part of in the future if I'm up to it I don't know I mean the background characters they need a little work I will say my designs are not perfect by any means this is just to critique media that I was really involved in this is just a direction I would personally go in to design these girls I'm not saying like I'm the end I'll be all like this is perfect no I I don't know what I'm doing most of the time so just keep that in mind if you have any suggestions or opinions on how you feel if you got this far leave a comment if you want to see more subscribe like the video I plan on making more videos um I'm still very new to this but hopefully I'm improving so yeah thanks for watching peace
