Enchantimals is still around?? I always associate them with the Ever After High forest faeries for some reason
Enchantimals left stores in the US very quickly once TRU closed. They were still on Amazon tho now it's all 3rd party imports. I chalk up how they are popular in Europe vs the US to be something to do with cultural differences. I think the kids there have less exposure to the adult collectors that tend to pick apart dolls so kids there are less concerned with following the hot new trend.

I just want the ponies without the compacts.

Are Shopkins still around, then? :o I haven't seen them in a while.. unless KindiKids count, they're sort of Shopkins-adjacent and I still see those around. But yeah, definitely surprised those lasted as long as they did... to be honest I never really 'got' them. Except the Happy Places line, I loved that.
They have been rebranded as part of the Real Littles line. There's barely a mention of Shopkins on the packaging now but they still look like Shopkins. I like them but I've always been a sucker for tiny cute things (Tho I never could get into the Zuru Mini Brands. I guess because they were too realistic). The blind bags were one of my favorite things from G4 and I hope those tiny G5s in the compacts get individual releases because I don't want a bunch of compacts.

Though I would love for a BF Mimic to be made. Would save me the trouble of making my own. I'm not looking forward to matching that body color.
I kinda wish HQG1C project would make Mimic colored blanks. Even if they were in an alternate pose I think they would be very popular.

I feel cave club are really underrated, they're super cute and nice quality for the lower price point
Cave Club for me, too. They don't seem to be doing so well over here in central Europe, sadly. Mattel also had to redesign them all to exclude any bone, rib, claw and fang designs which totally neutered them.
I think it's similar to what happened with MH and EAH. When sales waned or the line never really caught on in the first place, they try to "fix" whatever they feel might be affecting sales. But sometimes they totally miss the actual reason or remove the only thing the line had going for it.

I got Tropical Surprise and Skywishes together so they were always a couple for me.

Could oxyclean treatments have caused this? They seemed to be fairly common way to deal with dirty ponies.
In this case, I did not use oxyclean on this pony.
But I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had this happen.
I wasn't suggesting you did. Unless it was a childhood pony, it's probably been though a few other people. I was just wondering as it's not very common with G1s.

I agree about the LOL tots. I honestly expected OMG to pretty much replace them since the YouTube unboxing trend died down.
Shopkins. They even disappeared for a short time but are still around despite the end of the unboxing trend.
On the opposite end I'm kinda surprised that LPS seems to be gone. I was so sure Hasbro was going to keep reinventing them.

I still prefer "design" or "mark" by itself to "symbol". Besides the fact that the word just looks weird, I've always felt a symbol is a simple marking that means something.

We were so close to having accurate unicorn tails and lil hoof feathers on the pegasus ponies in G5. 
100% agree with this! Of the leaked designs and even the early color scheme concepts for the main characters that we got to see, I feel like final g5 went with the least interesting ones.
I wish I didn’t know about…the kid who supposedly ate his sister’s toy pony? Found out while looking at the thread on pony toxicity. Gross. Ick. I hate it.
I don’t want to shut down people rightfully kvetching about gross brony behavior! Quite a bit of it was gross. But…I attended a few brony cons during their heyday, made some nice brony con going friends, had a lot of fun, and even bought a lot of g1s! There is plenty of brony stuff that’s unpleasant though, and I sure don’t want to barge in here going “not all bronies!” so please carry on.
Oh, for sure. That's why I phrased my post the way I did. I used the brony label for a good few years myself, and there were plenty of awesome people who did/do the same. And if there's not at least one bit of brony fan music you still listen to and will defend with your life, you're lying.
I don't defend or listen to their fan music. So there. It's probably creepy, gross and full of mean south parkish "humor".
Nah it's just electronic music. Honestly despite the awful parts of the community getting a lot of attention there were plenty of talented decent people within the fandom. The problem is they didn't make any effort to ostracize the bad apples.

Meanwhile I'm wondering what Hasbro is going to do to fill the space vacated by Disney Princess. They have no other current fashion doll line, just baby dolls.

I do think it's odd that the media is saying IDW "lost" GI Joe and Transformers when IDW just said they aren't publishing them anymore and Hasbro hasn't said anything about it at all. It's entirely possible IDW just decided it wasn't worth it to renew the license.
