One problem they might have is the show is focused on six ponies.  From the perspective of the show, this is brilliant as they can really delve into the characters.  However, in terms of selling ponies, it's kind of limiting.  It might be a good idea to make a spinoff focusing on another group of ponies in a different part of Equestria.  Perhaps something more adventure oriented.

G4 is at the point where G1 really took off in terms of diversity.  If they do the same with G4 and introduce new species and styles of ponies, they could probably keep it going for the next decade perhaps make a few shows taking place in Equestria.

The truth is, I've been thinking of ideas for another show, and I would like to actually pitch them to Hasbro.  It's too bad I don't have the connections.  Damn you networking!

What will the cause for revamping be?  New kids to sell ponies to and need to have new ponies to sell to them.  Isn't that always the case?

When will it come?  Probably in the next few years.  As others have said, the G4 toyline is rather limited.  Ironically, what makes the show so good, concentrated on a group of six ponies, leads to all the other ponies not being advertized as much.  Notice how many of the new ponies are background ponies bronies have latched onto?  They're going to need new material.

Hopefully it will be even more of an embrace of G1 ideas than G4.  Connecting the previous question, they need more lines to increase the diversity.  Bring back the flutters and the sea ponies.  Maybe release some more males too.  Liven things up some.

I'm no expert, but evenly brown spots sound like some kind of stain and the light ring might suggest it was with something that stresses the material.  Don't take this as what definitely happened.  This is me just thinking through what you're saying.

More a writer than a collector.  The truth be told, I've never been much of a collector of anything, besides video games.  I still an old NES that works.

This is a great find and the reason I came here.  I've been a fan of the old show and seeing the thinking behind it is awesome.  The fact some of the ponies' characters sheets came out on my first birthday is also interesting.  Please tell me you'll show more.

Yeah.  Hi.  I'm Al-1701, and I've been a longtime fan of the original cartoon and FiM.  I've never been much of a collector of anything, but I'm fascinated by the finds here.  I'm a G1 fanfic writer, and I find the information about the actual toys and other sources interesting and helpful.
