I feel like eventually the retro remakes will become their own collectible line that will just be part of pony collecting on the whole. Like how some people look specifically for a Hong Kong and a China version of a pony. They'll just add the Basic Fun version as an alternate version to look for. Depending on how long the line lasts, they might be considered rare versions in the future.
I think they serve a different purpose -- so they don't really compete too much. I think the mentality of people who have been collecting all along is that they are not vintage.If you have a mint vintage firefly and a mint new retro firefly-- then most people are going to go for the vintage. I feel most collectors might buy them in addition to, and not replacement. I on the other hand would replace my ponies with new ones, if they got to the years that I actually liked. (which they won't.)

However, as has already been said the basic combs are too similar and I'm glad I've collected a lot of original combs already because I can't tell the difference.It bothers me that the unipegs have rainbow brushes. Especially whichever one it is who has yellow (Sunbeam?) because that's WINDY's brush! O.o.As a kid Windy was my first pony and somehow I managed from the age of almost three to keep her brush and comb safe in this little bag with some cartoon animal print on it. It was special because it had a rainbow on it and it was the only rainbow brush I had so it needed to be kept safe!...And basic fun go slap a rainbow sticker on the unipeg brushes. Gahh. So unneeded as well, as brush without sticker is what they came with..?
