I’ve bought a few of the basic fun ponies, and I hope to get a few more, but I don’t see the point of recreating my entire vintage collection with a repro collection, you know? I’m not personally interested in the Stranger Things AJ, but I like the idea of ‘specialty’ ponies like that more than endless waves of G1 reproductions.

I don't think they are doing a lot if you think that there were over 600 + released in all of G1 era I would love it if they did that many though :D but I don't think they will but I don't think the G1 would look as good in chibi style but thats just my opinion ,
I for one am sick of Chibi Everything. Its ugly as heck. If you want Chibi Ponies, stick with G3.5s, G4s, Funko Pops and Loyal Subjects.
I'm not going to let my kid play with 30 year old plastic that is leaking.. so the BF ponies certainly have a reason to exist beyond just collectors collections. It would of been lame to have the original 6 + 4 others.
Nah, I'm okay with it :) Beats Hasbro in their own brand right now. Although I do wish that they actually had a more global release. Nothing in stores here :(
I just wish they would come to Australia :cry:

Girl, I feel you!!
I still think this should have been the sdcc thing. But I am still resentful they chose majesty...I just hope they release Sundances! A repro Sundance and Megan set would be adorable.
Also there's no need to call stuff I like ( chibi stuff) ugly. I actually wouldn't let any children touch anything I own though.
I guess I'm the minority. I don't like having a bunch of reproductions. I would rather have a new style of something to collect or new spins on the old designs.

More mashems would be amazing....
Not really a fan of chibi everything since it is overdone. But mashems would be fine...
I'm the opposite, I'm so happy to see this. In fact, I wish they would do more and go on and do later lines. I've actually only recently taken an interest in G1 specifically (I've been G3 for years), and feel very new to G1, so just being able to pick up new reproductions is simple and nice and I also feel like I'm not taking originals from more serious collectors, if that makes any sense?
I was thinking--
I totally forgot about cutie mark crew. Those are fairly chibi with their proportions (although not g1).
So we do have chibi going on the same time as retro. :) So there's something for everyone.

I wonder what a G1 CMC type of pony would look like.
I mean, probably not for me, but since the OP was talking about G1 style chibi stuff, any suggestions on who and how that might work out?

Sorry to temporarily de-rail your thread here, but... what are the BF ponies? I've been out of the MLP loop for a while. Are they the Target-exclusive repros?

I don't like Cutie Mark Crew and I don't like Basic Fun repros and think they should be replaced with more bootleg carrousels. Think about it. Both lines have been going on for more than one year, so they are overdone by now. Carrousels on the other hand are evergreens.
Who wants to collect small MLP toys when you can't even sit on them? I want to sit on them and go slowly in a cirlce to carneval music. Y'all can have your preferences but the future is merry-go-rounds!Spoiler:snicker:

Bootleg carousels are the future. That’s just truth. Who wants to start gathering signatures for the petition demanding that Hasbro get in on the carousel scene?

Think even bigger! We need a Hasbroland with 80% being dedicated to all gens of MLP. With exclusive toys being sold there of course. And all kinds of rides. Like a Sonic Rainboom rollercoaster, the Flutter Valley Experience, an EqG mirror mace, Fakies Revenge where we just get fakies thrown at us but it's VR, and so on!

As someone who actually started my G1 collection with the repro ponies, I think that they're very good replicas of the originals. Original 80's ponies are fun to collect because they are the "real thing", but a lot of them can be hard to find in perfect condition (especially to a novice like me who still doesn't understand everything about older gens lol) and I understand that the ponies can develop bacteria due to them being over 30 years old and the fact that plastic does degrade over time as others mentioned. It's safer for young children who may also want to buy the G1 ponies, to get the Basic Fun ones. I do hope that Basic Fun releases more pony characters though!

I low key hope they keep going and make more and more repros. TE repros? Yes. TAF repros? Yes. So Soft repros? YES!

I really would like to see Rainbow Curl and Sweetheart Sister reprints!
They're years later, so I imagine it probably won't happen, but I can dream, right? (Probably shouldn't :sad: )

I would love to see some more “new” G1s but in the “old” style.

YES! I really hope either BF or Hasbro will eventually try something HQG1C-esque, and make new characters... ST AJ is an awesome first step towards that. :)

Dream on, write to Basic Fun, buy the other retros to add to their sales. It could happen!
Personally, I would freak out if I could have a 15€ Mimic in perfect condition and I'd go to great lenghts to get one. I love green ponies and sadly Mimic is so hyped and expensive I don't see myself ever owning an original one.
-shrug- I guess I don't see why it needs to be an either/or. Give us repros, but give us new stuff too - that what I say :)
And while they're at it, give us a proper Paradise -.-

No. :O)
I guess I phrased that badly, but I meant the Paradise they promised us in the catalogue as a prototype that never happened.

I had that feeling...
I would cry if there was a paradise released with no flock. It would feel like the most disappointing thing in the world to have your favorite character not be released without it's gimmick that you loved it so much for.
But all of that is different then -- let's create a pony that maybe a handful of kids hoped for because they saw it in an advertisement...
vs 1000s of kids had a cherished toy that they bonded with and had fond memories.

Not everything has to be a debate you know? I was just expressing my personal feelings, you're entitled to yours as well. It probably won't happen because BF is only doing the US line anyway, so there's no reason to be so worried about it.
A regular Paradise, Ribbon and Lofty would be high up on my remake wishlist. Some people want Mimic. I want to see Hasbro UK's holes filled, and that includes those three :)

I didn't think I was debating...
I only meant that your want of a deflocked paradise vs my sadness of that
was different based on the amount of people who would want to see that -- in general I think many people who like flocked ponies would be so happy to see a minty flocked pony as well
however more equivalent to potential sadness about tiffany and princess pearl
Or you know, they could switch it up and sell Princesses and Bushwoolies to the UK and Princess Ponies and Dragons to the US. :silly:

Nononono don't give them any idea, since we'll probably get the uk ones if that happens (if they ever come here) that means we'll get those cursed bushwoolies, I want dragons.Or you know, they could switch it up and sell Princesses and Bushwoolies to the UK and Princess Ponies and Dragons to the US. :silly:
