Hasbro's done more and more 80s themed posts on their Facebook this year, from putting the G4 ponies in 80s inspired "movie posters" to posting the shoo-be-doo sea pony song, and this morning this post:

It's so nice to see this from Hasbro! I wonder if it'll pique the curiousity of some FiM fans, maybe spread the G1 pony love! Always wonderful to see more new collectors becoming interested.

I think they have realized the G4 brony fad has died down a lot; and now they are like “oh yeah remember the other group of pony fans? Let’s cater to them now!”

I would have pined over that lunchbox as a kid.

It might just be me, but when I was a kid it was kind of the cusp of changing from metal to plastic lunchboxes. And I just didn't like the plastic lunchboxes as much because they were completely flat (most of the lunchboxes I had were dimensional) and they felt way cheaper.

This would have been an awesome compromise.

Because this is just OK in my opinion.

They've been posting on Instagram, too! I hope it keeps going for the rest of the year at least!

Wouldn’t you have loved being the person who got to work on that?  In fact, I’d imagine the person who works on play dough promotional stuff has a pretty awesome job!

And yes, I’ve noticed a lot of g1 stuff they have posted lately.  I need to stop reading the comments though.  Lots of love but also lots of comments like “ugg” and “nope” and “eeww”.

Flutterscotch, I didn't like plastic lunchboxes either.  Metal lunchboxes forever!  I got this retro lunchbox recently:

I got it off Amazon, but I believe it's made by Loungefly.
