Come Ramble With Me!

Because, so long as I know the package is coming and I don't have to sign for it, then it gets here earlier and I am happier.

I use this trick on my tech support customers. Under promise, over deliver, just not too much overdelivering. So long as I do that, I have happy people.

Oh wait did you mean next Monday not this past Monday?

Yes. *facepalms*

I can never phrase things clearly...

Well now I definitely upstanding why you prefer it that way. I always love when my packages are early

 

[SkyAJK]

Yes! There's many

This is the first G1 show it ran from 1986-1987

And it accompanied the toy line which came out in 1983 (following My Pretty Pony which came out in 1982)

There was another G1 show called My Little Pony Tales which came out in 1992. (There were also some toys that came with this show, in the G1 style but they were only released in a few places in Europe)

Then there was the G2 toys, but no show or specials accompanied this generation

Then in 2003 G3 came out and ran from 2003-2009

There was a series of specials that went with it

Then there was G3.5 which featured more drastically proportions but used the same core 7 from later G3. It came out in 2009.

And some specials went wjth it too.

Then in 2010 G4 came out, which came in like a storm. It had the longest running show going from 2010-2019, a 2017 full production movie released in theaters, a different series of movies, some specials, etc.

These were the main line brushables for G4:

But following the 2017 movie there was a reboot line with different proportions and a wider variety in poses.

Then in 2019 G4.5 came out with its own series "pony life" which was around slice of life show following the same mane characters from G4.

The G4.5 toys had EXTREMELY exaggerated features and really did look more cat-like

Then in 2021 a new generation movie came out accompanied by two more series (a short form 2d animated one, and a longer 3d animated one) as well another toyline. Following the movie this generation was the worst performing generation (previously a title held by G2 which was primarily only released in europe) and became the shortest lived generation.

The G5 series were everywhere and not well organized... unfortunately the same is true for the toys. It wasnt entirely clear what line was the "mane line" and there were several lines without brushable manes and tails which had previously been MLPs main gimmick. Overall I do like the toys though.

Another interesting thing is G5 is the only generation to not have any returning voice actors in the main cast


Right now we're in a weird stage where MLP g5 has been prematurely canceled and had a much shorter run time than anticipated so we're not likely to get any new media until 2026. Hasbro said 2025 will mainly be focused on "Nastolgia" so I'm guessing we'll be getting some more reproduction ponies like the G1 reproductions we got from basic fun throughout 2024...

...sorry about the rambling. I could talk about this for hours

Thank you for sharing & the lovely photos. Yes, I have seen MLP on TV.
G3.5 seems very smaller in size
G4.5 look quite rebel and the hairs are like Dragonball tv series
From 2021 the ponies have human face like.
When you can talk about this for hours, it proves that you are a collector and you know your collections.
You could go on a quiz show and be quiz about your expert subject MLP. We have that over here and I watch it every week.
