#mlp#My Little Pony#g1#g2#g3#g3.5#g4#g4.5#g5#I had to think about this a while#personally my answer is no they are not dolls#it's true they were designed to be played with 'as if' they were dolls#like they are portrayed as intelligent creatures who talk#not mere pets#but that is also the case with Fluppy Dogs and Pound Puppies: they talked and even had fashion packs#and they are always called stuffed animals not dolls#I had a bunch of little cheap plastic zoo animals growing up (you know the kind)#and I gave them human personalities and imagined them talking and having adventures#but I wouldn't consider them dolls; I'd call them animal figures or just 'plastic animals'#to me 'doll' implies human or at least human looking (could be an alien or a monster or have a dog head like Pinkie Cooper etc)#but most importantly if someone says 'I wasn't into dolls as a kid; I was only into My Little Ponies'#you instantly understand what they mean#whereas if someone said 'I wasn't into dolls as a kid; I was only into Barbie' you'd be like 'wait what'
