The toys were first introduced in 1982, following the related My Pretty Pony toy, introduced in 1981 and became immensely popular during the 80s. The original toy line inspired several animated specials, including an animated feature length movie and two animated television series. Redesigned toys have been introduced to the market twice since then, one near the end of 1997 and again in 2003. Collectors refer to each line as a \"generation\", often referring to each as \"G1\", \"G2\" and \"G3\". The term \"generation\" to describe the runs are also used by Transformers, which unlike the Ponies, did have an official Generation 2 from 1993 to 1995.
In 1985, the first My Little Pony 7\" Picture Disk was released. Recorded by Vocalist Tony Markey at AIR Studios, Co Durham. It is now out of production.
All three My Little Pony lines consist of plastic ponies with brushable manes and tails. Their hair and body colors are fanciful and span every color of the rainbow. They are not meant to look like real horses. Each has a specific symbol located on its haunch or rear-end that allows it to be identified. Some ponies have marks that stretch over their backs and sides or can be found on their cheeks and foreheads, as well as haunches. However, there were a few released with no symbols at all. There are various types including, but not limited to, Unicorn, Pegasus and the seahorse-like Seapony. The My Little Pony line has and continues to experiment with a variety of body types and fantastic designs but always manages to maintain a horse's guise.
My Little Pony was one of the most popular collectible toys of the 1980s and is enjoying a successful comeback on the current market.
Due to the brand's recent return to stores the second hand market for the toys has boomed. However, many of the older ponies are not always worth a large amount of money, due to the fact that many were manufactured in large numbers. There are exceptions to this rule, of course. Toys that were only available in limited supply are usually worth more to collectors.
Other toy companies have chosen to mimic My Little Pony designs (and in some cases use actual My Little Pony molds) and create what are commonly referred to as \"fakies.\" Almost all real My Little Pony toys have Hasbro's stamp on their foot so it is relatively easy to tell them apart.
Generations
Generation one: Dream Valley
Earth Ponies, as the toys which most resembled real horses came to be known, were soon accompanied by additional species. Pegasus Ponies had molded wings, while Unicorns had horns which purportedly gave them magic powers in addition to the ability to \"wink\" (teleport) through unobstructed space. Sea Ponies resembled real-life seahorses, apart from the colourful mane they shared with the original Little Ponies. Flutter Ponies were much smaller and thinner than Pegasus Ponies and had translucent wings more like those of an insect, and featured a \"fluttering\" action. Wing Ponies were even smaller in size compared to the Flutter Ponies, but were proportioned more similar to their larger kin, and had larger distinctly butterfly-like wings. Finally, Mermaid Ponies loosely resembled the mythological hippocamp. Baby Ponies were also available in many forms; they resembled their mothers, but were smaller and typically had softened colors and simplified identifying symbols.
