Amazon now has retro inspired My Little Pony Colorforms!   They are sooo cute!

I ended up making mine into magnets and I love them!  I show how I did that in the video also.
What do y'all think?  Are you going to get them?

How cute!

I love them. I hope I will remember to add them to my next Amazon order. I’ve been wanting to order the G1 retro coloring book but always forget to add it to my order when I purchase stuff from Amazon.

Those are cute! I think I had the originals back in the 80's...I know I had Wuzzles ones and Smurfs for sure, but about 80% positive I had pony ones as well.

That’s really cool!  I don’t think I’ve ever seen the original ones.  I wonder if anyone still has theirs.  It would be fun to see which ponies where featured.

I had a big collection of Colorforms as a kid. This would easily have been my favorite.

Those are really cool.  I think they look even better than the old set I had in the 1980s (was it Colorforms or just something similar?).  That's cool that you made them into magnets!

I *think* the original set I had a double-sided base image, with a detailed scene on one side that looked like the classic G1 art style and I think featured the nursery, lots of clouds, and a large tree?  Then the other side was a super basic landscape.  As far as ponies...hmm...I think Posey lying down...Applejack...A mom and baby pegasus that were my favorites to use but who were they??  Also I think there was a pony grazing.  My memory of this is not great   I really want to see an original set now, too!

Edit: I found the set I had, if you scroll down its "My Little Pony Stick n' Lift Kit"

My memory was surprisingly correct but left alot out ha ha ha

They weren't "Colorforms" in the eighties, but a similar thing (hesitant to say "knockoff") called Stick 'n Lift. I wonder why, since Colorforms made the Lazer Blazers, which did have ponies... The Stick 'n Lift set seems pretty early (Blossom, AJ, etc. were included and the art style is an earlier one), so perhaps they weren't interested in the license at first? I dunno.
Here's where I'd give you the link to the commercial, but I just couldn't find it! It has a song with the melody of "Turkey in the Straw," and while Pony takes center stage, the commercial also shows a Charmkins set and one for the Chipmunks. What a shame, it was pretty cool. Ah well.
If you want the lyrics, I remember some of them:

Spoiler

You can stick a Little Pony over here or over there
You can stick a little flower in your Little Pony's hair
You can lift your pony up and then stick her down again
Under the apple tree or right outside the pen

It's driving me nuts that I cant find it, since I vaguely remember the rest and my brain is trying so hard to sing it to me! Help!

EDIT: Didn't see the post above. Apparently it wasn't Blossom, but Medley. Don't ask how I got that mixed up... She was the pony who got the flower in her hair, so that could be it. There was apparently an earlier kit though (seen on My Little Wiki), in an earlier art style with Seashell, Firefly, etc. so who knows? I don't remember the commercial clearly enough; I only watched it a few times when it was on YouTube (where it appears to no longer be!) and couldn't tell you.

As for these new ones, I'm happy to see the inclusion of ponies you don't see as often. I mean, what retro merch has TAF Yum Yum or Daisy Sweet (albeit lacking her puffy hair), let alone BOTH? The former is my favorite TAF pony, and with Starshine and June Rose (my birthflower), I really like this set. I find them a bit expensive, though.

These look really cool! I love how Fizzy is in this set and also sugar berry and dancing butterflies! I may have to pick this up.

Amazon dot com says posts to UK but amazon dot co dot uk doesn't show them in a search???

Aw, cute.

I have a stainless steel fridge, and I can't put magnets on it... but I can put color forms on it (at least, vintage ones).  I just keep one on it.

I might have to buy this specifically for moonstone. u_u; aye...

I feel pretty indifferent to them though as a parent. There doesn't seem to be a lot of do with them, so they are disappointing in that aspect.
