I really like my sets. I haven't taken them out yet, but it's nice to have gotten ponies that are similar enough to the original G1s. I wished they would have kept the original eyes though. I don't mind any of the other changes - I actually like the new colors better as I'm attracted to brighter colors. The rainbow sets are harder to come by. I picked up another one set of the original 3 for my niece off eBay so she can have a piece of the wonderful memories I did. Now if only I had a daughter to give ponies to! My 2 year old is such a boy, he has absolutely no interest in anything much but cars, trains, and monster trucks. I guess I should be happy or else he'd ask me to open all my sets!
