What do you think of the new My Little Pony style and poses?

Posted by Hillary on September 6th, 2009

Hasbro decided to take My Little Pony in something of a different direction this year with bigger heads and smaller bodies. While this new style makes My Little Pony look more like the Littlest Pet Shop line of toys, they don’t have much in common with the ponies of last year.

Toys R Us just announced via Twitter that they are starting to stock these new MLP items so I wanted to take a look at the first ones to hit stores and find out what you think of them.

Let’s take a look at four of these new ponies in this new pose and style:


My Little Pony Rainbow Dash


My Little Pony Cheerilee


My Little Pony Styling Pony Pinkie Pie


My Little Pony Winter Sweetie Belle

As a fan of the vintage MLP, I prefer that when the new ponies look as much like the old ponies as possible so I cannot get 100% behind this new look. That said, I have to admit that some of the pigtail ponies are a little bit cute.

So while I don’t love this change, I could get behind it, I suppose assuming they still make ponies in the traditional style.

One thing I can’t get behind?

But I’m just one opinion. What do you think?

Dress-Up Pose: What does the heart & clothing hanger symbol on a My Little Pony’s foot mean?

Posted by triviamaven on July 16th, 2009

Have you come across a pony with this symbol on the bottom of one of her legs?

That special symbol designates that the pony that bears it is in the Dress-Up pose. Introduced in 2008, this symbol indicates a pony that can fit into special molded clothing and accessory pieces. The presence of this symbol means that this pony can freely trade these molded clothing pieces with any other similarly marked pony.

Most of the ponies released in 2008 were in a Dress-Up pose.

Dress-Up ponies, as well as their clothing pieces, are covered in greater detail in The My Little Pony 2007-2008 Collector’s Inventory.
