I messaged Basic Fun to see if I could get any news on MLP….

And I asked if they were continuing the line and if so any news. (I don’t know how to add pictures here but I do have proof. Someone let me know how to post a picture) :)

They said and I quote:

“Hello Seanrob, hold on tight, next year we are celebrating My Little Pony’s 40th anniversary and there is a lot in store! Start getting excited!“

Eee! Fun!!! Can’t wait.

I only hope they don't release the Collectors Poses AGAIN.  I want to see something different, like Big Brothers or baby ponies!

Even if they wanted to do Megan and Sundance, that would be better than more CP ponies.

I’m hoping for mimic and other expensive/sought after ponies that I don’t want to shell hundreds of dollars for… but really want.

I hope they realize that the people buying these ponies are collectors (I think mostly) and we would love the chance to own sought after ponies without breaking the bank. I think they would sell really well, Mimic, Munchy (which I do own), Nightglider, Diamond Dreams, Princess Taffetta, etc

That’s just a pipe dream, but I do hope the make Mimic, since they have started with the twinkle eyed, I’m crossing my fingers

Maybe that's when they'll release the Flower Fantasies?

I thought the flower fantasy ponies were slated for September this year? Hopefully that’s still the case and we get brand new stuff we haven’t heard about for the 40th year.

Megan and Sundance would be a nice surprise… or even dream castle. (I can dream) lol.

I would love to see them make the oringinal princess ponies with the bushwoolies and all the accessories though, finding those is really hard and expensive.

It's very rude of them to remind us how old we're all getting!

Maybe they will release a set of the CP ponies with glitter. Kinda like how they did with the 40th anniversary SSC doll.

I don't really care what Hasbro do, since they sold out on old MLP already. Which is fine, they have other priorities. I just think it's better left to BF to handle the retro stuff.

The ponies that have inflated prices became that way because of collectors and bidding wars over 20+ years. So I don't think it's BF;s job to solve that by suddenly replicating everything just for the sake of collectors. I think it's more about the nostalgia and retro appeal of the line, and it probably won't be all about us anyway.

Though as a collector I'm not in favour of seeing ponies made just because a handful of collectors don't want to pay Ebay prices for them. It's not that I think collectors should fork out a fortune, just that I don't think that's what the BF line should be about.

Naynie and I were discussing this on the phone yesterday and we'd both like to see the first set TAFs. If it were a UK project, being they were 'Party Ponies' here, then that might happen, but I'm not sure about in the US. However the flower fantasy ponies have 2 poses that overlap with the first TAF set. So it might happen.

I guess we'll see about the FF set, but it would make sense for them to be part of the anniversary. They were part of the 10th anniversary. And Birthday Pony as well, given that they have her pose. Surely she has to be a possible if the FFs are?
