In the realm of nostalgic toys, few hold a candle to My Little Pony. I vividly recall pedaling my bike in circles around my backyard, a collection of these charming ponies nestled in the white wicker basket. Those were the days of sibling squabbles over the remote, as My Little Pony clashed with whatever action-packed show my brothers wanted to watch — likely something like Power Rangers, which pales in comparison to the enchanting world of Ponyland. However, things took a turn for the worse for My Little Pony over the years.
Once a beloved childhood treasure, My Little Pony evolved into something quite different.
Oh, how my ’80s baby heart aches at this transformation! But there’s good news for devoted fans of MLP! This year marks a special milestone — the 35th anniversary of My Little Pony. To celebrate, the six original ponies are returning as collector’s items.
Basic Fun has reintroduced Minty, Blue Bell, Butterscotch, Snuzzle, Blossom, and Cotton Candy with a nostalgic twist. Each pony comes complete with a hair ribbon and that tiny blue comb that you probably broke while detangling your own hair. They also include a mini collector poster that would have been a must-have for your younger self.
These beloved ponies are now available at Target and Toys R Us across the U.S., along with !ndigo in Canada. And later this August, Basic Fun will expand the lineup to include the original rainbow ponies. This means you can expect to find Sunlight, Starshine, Windy, Parasol, Skydancer, and Rainbow Cotton Candy adorning store shelves as well.
This collection is a childhood dream come true, and now that you’re an adult, you no longer have to plead with parents for toys. Plus, introducing a new generation to the original My Little Pony is likely just what we need in 2023.

With resources available for those looking to start families, there’s something for everyone in this celebration of beloved toys.
