Horses that little girls can DRESS? Why didn't I think of that. There will be much money.

I wish they had tits.

aDORable! I like their slim ankles and insanely long legs... these are gonna give real horses major self-esteem problems.

@1: I used to put my stretchier Barbie clothes on my My Little Ponies. I guess it is surprising such a thing hasn't been attempted before.

This, however, is an abomination.

Horses, just like little girls, shouldn't be sexy.

Well, Ari, maybe they wish you had tits too.

Isn't Milan a Czech boy's name?

Actually, thinking of one of them as a Czech transsexual makes this a whole lot more entertaining.

how does a horse even use a purse?

I blame that "Zoo" movie. Clearly, sexy horses are becoming mainstream.

Or maybe the fundies were right, and it really WAS a slippery slope from homosexuality to bestiality.

Maybe it's a feedbag.

Jesus christ... What's wrong with good old fashioned Breyer Horses? Those things were the BEST!!! Til I got a real pony athat is. Bratz ponies are for suckas, real ponies are for perfect little princesses (like me).

I think it's a barfbag.

you can't spell Horse without "Ho".

Way less creepy than the Baby Bratz.

Posted by JC | March 7, 2008 4:28 PM

Um, since the names seem pretty geo-specific, wouldn't Milan be the "sultry, mysterious ITALIAN hottie"?

Regardless, these are even creepier than the ponies Atrios (or is it Kos?) regularly puts up on his site.

another toy to put on the 'not in my house' list.

Oh get over yourself. Newsflash: A lot of little girls love ponies. A lot of little girls also love dress up. Combining the two seems to me a somewhat brilliant concept which will no doubt sell well.

maybe it's supposed to be MU-lan, like the disney character...?

Have to admit, it's stuff like this that makes me glad I have a son.
(Note to ECB - sorry to read the nasty response posts to your earlier Slog entry on the 'monster thing'. What a bunch of assholes.)

I think they confused Milan with Mulan.

Posted by Julie | March 7, 2008 4:54 PM

Also, My Little Ponies had clothes. Well, maybe just accessories, but I definitely remember capes and hats and things like that.

Also, Judith, get out of my head.

Why is the Asian horse gray with death? That's fucked up...

@22: It's not the dress-up/pony combination that anyone has a problem with. It's the sexed-up anthropomorphism and perpetuation of idiotic stereotypes.

Wow. It's like the evil perverted version of that horse trading card game Bella Sara. So wrong.

...Uhm...The first thing I though of when I saw these was furries. Toy versions of furries...

Somewhere, a future homosexual is jumping up and down at a Toys R Us begging his mother to buy these.

A future homosexual? I'm jumping up and down right now!

Makes me think of lunch meat dropped from the top of the World Trade Center (Doh!), I mean the Empire State Building, and splattered all over the sidewalk!!

That's OK, Mark, you can drop it from the Qwest building.

my old "my little ponies" were FATASSES compared to these lovely ladies. no burgers for these ponies!

So, movies about doing a horse is COOL?

Sexy little Ponies is bad?

I know that somehow this is supposed to be degrading to women, blah,blah but I would have loved these when I was a kid.

Posted by mj | March 8, 2008 9:20 AM

Yes, all the quiver full ladies are pretty freaked about these sexy little ponies too.

Sexy just freaks Americans out unless it's porn or every commercial and advertisement that teaches girls sexy is good.

I would have loved these ponies when I was a girl. I wanted to be a pony and a pony in cute clothes and platforms would have been so cool.

A customer of this toy says her "daughter plays with this horse all the time"

The customer's name?
"Erika the bust mom"

I really hope this is a typo for "best mom"

Saw this on Jezebel yesterday. Didn't any of you ladies remember the Fashion Star Fillies from the late 80s? They were like this, but, you know, not built like Bratz.

And Breyer horses were alway cooler. I bet you anything these things fall over when you try to line them all up on your shelf.

Seems like some product developer watched Planet Unicorn and managed to take it a few notches further.
