My Little Pony is a product line of colorful toy ponies marketed primarily to young girls and produced by the toy producer Hasbro.[1] 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 use of "generation" to describe the runs were inspired by Transformers, which unlike the Ponies, did have an official Generation 2 from 1993 to 1995.
