This is nuts for me to think about. I so vividly remember going to the store to get the 25th anniversary ponies, it really feels like it was just a couple years ago to me! 40 is impressive, but I agree with the others who say we should wait for the 50th anniversary to go all out. That’s a huge milestone and I’m sure Hasbro will want to celebrate it somehow! The basic fun ponies have given me my G1 fix for now!
Even as someone who experienced the MLP franchise from the very beginning, I don't have a stake in exactly when the anniversary is declared but I do certainly hope they will celebrate it officially in some way. I'd love to see Hasbro really hype it up! I can't really imagine what they'd do though. Maybe a special release of a repro classic playset since we already have the original ponies by Basic Fun? I also wouldn't mind seeing a whole big line of retro-styled merch, personally.
35th never made sense let alone 40th actually.But right now I guess it would mean to me all of us safely coming through the current crisis and being here to share it.
It wouldn't really mean anything to me. My sweet spot memory for the franchise was the later years of G1. Nothing is ever done to celebrate those ponies. It's always the early years.But I would like to see tasteful merchandise that I could use within the house, and didn't feel like a kid product. I don't think an anniversary is needed to make that though.

The only thing they really did for the 35th was start the Basic Fun ponies. I imagine for the 40th it would be something low key like marking it on the Basic Fun ponies. If they really wanted to do something special maybe some glitterized versions of the collector's ponies with tinsel hair.
I'm not really looking forwards to it, because I know that the 40th anniversary will celebrate all 40 years of it, which means it will also include G4 and G5, which I'm not exactly fond of...
