As a child, I vividly recall pedaling my bicycle around the backyard, My Little Pony figures nestled in the white wicker basket at the front. I remember the disputes with my siblings over the television remote, particularly when My Little Pony clashed with whatever action-packed show they preferred—likely something like Power Rangers, which paled in comparison to the charming inhabitants of Ponyland. However, over time, My Little Pony underwent a confusing transformation.
The beloved franchise evolved into something unrecognizable. Oh, my nostalgic heart, burdened by the change!
But rejoice, MLP enthusiasts! This year marks the 35th anniversary of My Little Pony, and in celebration, the six original ponies are re-emerging as collector’s items.
Basic Fun has reimagined Minty, Blue Bell, Butterscotch, Snuzzle, Blossom, and Cotton Candy for their 2018 release. True to memory, each pony comes with a hair ribbon and that frustratingly delicate blue comb that you probably broke while attempting to detangle your childhood locks. Additionally, they each include a mini collector poster that your younger self would have adored.
The ponies are already available in stores, including Target and Toys R Us in the U.S., as well as !ndigo in Canada. Furthermore, come August, Basic Fun plans to introduce the original rainbow ponies, featuring Sunlight, Starshine, Windy, Parasol, Skydancer, and Rainbow Cotton Candy.
This collection is everything you wished for as a child and now have the means to complete as an adult—without needing to plead with your parents for toys. Moreover, sharing the magic of the original My Little Pony with a new generation might just be what today’s society needs.
