TBH the first thing I thought when I saw the picture was why does one person have 3 SDCC Majestys when so many people couldn't get her at all?
Ah. That explains it then. Good. Better than someone hoarding :) Thanks for the clarification :)TBH the first thing I thought when I saw the picture was why does one person have 3 SDCC Majestys when so many people couldn't get her at all?
This person is from China so he bought some straight from the Chinese factory, which explains how he ended up with a production test.
Maybe the rarest G1 Pony ever?
Those are really cool!QuoteMaybe the rarest G1 Pony ever?
This is such a huge peeve for me. G1 ended in 1995. The Basic Fun! remakes are retro. And they're remakes. I love them, yes. They're fun to collect. The packaging is great. But they are not true G1 ponies. The 25th anniversary remakes from 2008 are always referred to as G3. I don't see why these are any different.
I usually call them "G1 Retro" or something else along those lines. Makes it clear they're G1-styled, but not from the actual G1 era.
painted horns (and hooves) twinge my fakie-sense.
I've never referred to them as G3s. Never heard anyone say that except you for the first time. Its the style of the pony, that determines the gen, not the year they were reintroduced and these and the 25ths are in the original style, or close to. Not old characters done in that specific gen style.
Repros are reproductions of a thing.
Retro is a returning style or thing that's been updated.
These are reproduction G1s. Majesty had been blinged out, so she's a Retro G1.

Didn't I say they were retro? I'm referring to people saying that they're actual G1 ponies. They aren't, and I'm not sure why some collectors are up in arms that they're "decreasing the value of G1s" because they aren't G1s as typically identified and agreed upon by the community at large. If Ford produced a Mustang today that were identical to the original 1965 Mustang, it still wouldn't be a 1965 Mustang. It wasn't built then. It's a current model in the 1965 style, a tribute, if you will. So even asking if this is the most rare G1 ever can lead to incorrect info making its way into the community as fact when it isn't, as some of the incorrect info that still persists to this day has done.

LAW, I think Skig is talking about the OP (on Instagram) who referred to this pony as a "G1" when she talks about things being misleading :) Not your post.

In the original poster of the pictures defense he just buys toys MLP for his daughter (he has told me MLP are very rare or impossible to find in China so and the only way to get them is by buying stock from factories) and sells extras he buys in bulk on a little online toy store He runs. He’s probably still learning the ins and outs of MLP and the correct terminology. 😅
I do agree that it is important to distinguish between the two though. 🙂
