The mysterious Hugh Jackman/My Little Pony connection

Posted by Hillary on October 2nd, 2009

In one corner we have Hugh Jackman, handsome Australian movie star, action hero and Broadway actor.

In the other corner, we have pastel My Little Pony toys.

Not related at all, right? Until this week, I would have agreed.

If Hasbro made official Superhero My Little Pony figs, what characters would you like to see?

Posted by Hillary on October 1st, 2009

So this list of My Little Pony Superhero customs got me thinking: if Hasbro were to make official Superhero MLP figures, what characters would they do first?

I posed the question on Facebook and Twitter and got a few answers to get us started. (If you tweeted an answer but didn’t send it as an @ reply I may have missed it so please feel free to add it below).

From Twitter:
Def Captain America Pony, says @RobotsPJs
SPIDERMANN! =]] shouts @OhWowitssloane

From our Facebook Page:
Sarah Carter wants Batman Villain, Poison Ivy and Heather Fredrickson votes for Captain Underpants

I also voted for Swift Wind which I understand could never ever happen as they are rival toy companies but a girl can dream!

So what official MLP superhero would you most like to see? You can weigh in below.

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?

Freaky purple gargoyle lady down here.

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