About My Little Pony

My Little Pony is a small toy pony first made by Hasbro, Inc. in the early 80s. Amazingly, this toy has gone on to become a very popular collector's item. My Little Pony is adored by people of all ages and you can find these "pony friends" all around the world.

Generations refers to three distinct product releases. G1 ponies are the first generation or the original ponies that were sold through the 80s and early 90s. G2 ponies are the second generation, which came out in the late 90s. They were later replaced by a third generation, the G3 ponies, in mid-2003. The G3 ponies are available now at most toy stores.
