*wiggles*  So glad the show is embracing the original G1 so much.  Of course they would have to, because without G1, there would be no G4 and Lauren Faust would have just have had to contend with "improving" some other CalArts animated show... ;) She is married to the creator of Powerpuff Girls, after all! 

Didn't it used to be a rumor/story that the Power Puff Girls where named for MLP?  Seems it might be true since Faust has said in a panel before that she owned Bubbles as a child.

I'm reasonably confident that's just a coincidence. Lauren and Craig met through PPG, so I don't think she had anything to do with naming them.

Does anyone still own that Fakie called Demon Donkey?  That would be hilarious to see!

So is MLP featured on this show now or is it coming soon?  I'm glad that Summer's on there though because she will give a proper opinion about classic MLP collectors.  By proper you don't get someone who mainly collects G4 and believes anything before G4 is garbage and they give their false opinion about what G1's and G3's were all about.

The mlp episode will be in season 3 which isn’t out yet but will probably be released sometime before the end of the year.  The show actually doesn’t spend much time interviewing fans.  It primarily focuses on the ins and outs of the actual toy business.  All of the interviews that we know about thus far are actual people involved with the brand, including 2 designers and 2 sculptors who worked on g1.  Summer is the only exception so far but she has plenty of reasons why she would be included as more than just the average fan.

Did you see one of the comments on that Instagram post with Faust "MLP owes a lot to Faust" lololololol haha

Right...

Did they do any interviews with G2 and G3 designers?

This! I want to see ALL generations of MLP discussed.

Agree. Unfortunately she will doubtless be involved in this project somewhere. I don't know whether she did or did not make the statements about G1 attributed to her, but she hasn't done anything to dispel them, thus I cannot respect her or consider her a genuine fan of G1. It has nothing even to do with G4, I'm fine about that being involved...but someone involved in FIM which also involved creating misapprehensions about G1? Has no place in a show about real MLP for me I'm afraid.

I have no issue with G4 ponies but for me FIM has damaged MLP and its possibilities of being reinvented or completely fresh and new in the future if rebooted. And that's kind of hard to forgive. I'm not going so far as to say Faust ruined MLP. But FIM - and hasbro's obsession with mane 6 - has.

From my experience with MLP, FiM brought the franchise back into relevancy with a wider audience. Faust is from an era that brought MLP back into the limelight. There is more of a hype now from people of all ages about MLP than what there was in the entirety of the 80s.

I don't know how there could be myths about toys that are meant for a child to project themselves or their imaginations onto; where they rename, recolor, re-gender, turn into monsters or heroes, etc, but anyone who used their My Little Pony figures to enact fantastical stories obviously knew how to use them. No one needed the cartoon or package backcard stories to do that.

The toys of MLP made me because it encouraged my imagination in my own little world, not because the world told me how to use them. I do not mind that Faust's name comes up because she's part of MLP's legacy.

You have to keep in mind...before she was the series bible creator for FiM, Lauren Faust was just a nostalgic hungry vintage pony collector like the rest of us.  Whether you agree with her methods, or disagree with them, deciding whether or not someone is a "true fan" or not in that way isn't helping either.

I agree.
If someone played with ponies as a kid, and still cherishes those memories today-- they are a fan.

I think this is a good enough reason to try and get some good photos of my main display. I am not looking forward to the dusting, or the editing.

Hasbro was looking to have a core cast since near the end of G3. It was just FIM that caught on with the audience so they of course want to stick with that lineup since it works.

I need to speak up on Lauren's behalf.

I introduced her to Bonnie, and you can't fake the emotion she showed in that moment. That day she had a My Pretty Pony, with its box, and hoped I could help her get Bonnie to sign it. You can't fake how genuine she was about it. I handed her tissues during the Creators Panel when she told Bonnie how much My Little Pony meant to her.

2 years later at EQLA 2017, she had worked a long day, and had signed a lot of autographs and met a lot of fans, and at 10 PM she still wanted to go leave the convention venue to see my pony room instead of go home. She couldn't have faked the joy and enthusiasm for the collection as a whole and mostly for the rare G1s I have, and as it was just the 2 of us she had no reason to.

She's the real deal, guys.
