My Little Pony Toys

My Little Pony is More Popular than Ever

The My Little Pony franchise consists of toys and various forms of media. The toys are plastic sculpted ponies, foals and unicorns/other horse-like mythical creatures. All of the ponies are known for their bright colouring and a unique design on the back which is referred to as the pony’s “cutie mark”. The franchise is wildly popular with little girls, though the complex writing and deep themes of the most recent TV series has made it popular with older males, too. While younger generations find pleasure in simply playing with the toys, older fans love to collect and customise ponies, often reselling the customised versions for as much as $170!

My Little Pony toys were originally released back in the early eighties, and they quickly became popular among young girls at the time. While Hasbro, the toy’s manufacturer, ceased production multiple times, they always started back up again, as there was always some sort of demand for the ponies. The models themselves have been redesigned multiple times to keep up with modern tastes, and there hasn’t been a misstep yet.

You can buy ponies individually or as part of a playset, which includes at least one pony, a large set piece, and various accessories. Many direct-to-VHS or direct-to-DVD movies, as well as multiple television series, have helped expand the universe and give each pony its own unique personality. You can find the movies, DVD versions of the TV show, and the ponies themselves online or at any local toy shop.
