I have vivid memories of zipping around my backyard on my little bike, My Little Pony toys snugly nestled in the bike’s charming white wicker basket. I can still picture the epic battles with my siblings over the television remote, as My Little Pony clashed with whatever show they were obsessed with—probably something like Power Rangers, which, let’s be honest, could never compete with the magic of Ponyland. But then, something unfortunate occurred; My Little Pony lost its way.
In the midst of this evolution, My Little Pony transformed into something unrecognizable. Oh, the heartbreak of an ’80s child!
But don’t despair, fellow fans of MLP! This year marks the 35th anniversary of the beloved franchise, and to commemorate this milestone, the six original ponies are making their grand return as collectible toys.
Basic Fun has reimagined Minty, Blue Bell, Butterscotch, Snuzzle, Blossom, and Cotton Candy for their 2018 release. Each pony arrives with a hair ribbon and that tiny blue plastic comb that, let’s face it, you probably broke while detangling your own hair. Plus, they come with a mini collector poster, which your younger self would have cherished.
The ponies are already available in stores, so you can find the full set at Target and Toys R Us in the U.S., as well as at !ndigo in Canada. In August, Basic Fun will expand the collection to include the original rainbow ponies, featuring Sunlight, Starshine, Windy, Parasol, Skydancer, and Rainbow Cotton Candy.
This is the dream collection you longed for in your childhood, and now, as an adult, you can fulfill that desire without needing to plead with your parents. Moreover, sharing the original My Little Pony with a new generation is likely just what today’s society needs.
