Its 1985 and Hasbro has just hired you...

[hathorcat]

...as their head designer for the My Little Pony line.

Now put on your fabulous shoulder pads, crimp that hair, get into the office and tell us what the theme of your first G1 pony set would be? Or your new playset? Or the line of pony wear?

[bladed]

ALL THE BABY PONIES. And some adorable playsets and ponywear. Also glitter.

Ooooh.... I think spacey theme would be fun.

And of course more BUNNY ponies

Maybe a treehouse playset, with bird themed ponies....maybe even a combo set for ponies and fairy tail birds.

I'd have a ponies and pets line. Like the pony would come with a pet and accessories to take care of the pet.

Kitty and pony with kitten symbol
Puppy and pony with pup symbol
Bunny...
Bird...
Ferret...
Fish...

And for the second wave, because most sets had 2!

Snake
Guinea pig
Gecko
Mouse/rat
Different breed cat
Different breed dog

[FairyDust]

Hmmm.... hehe  I'd talk to the people in charge to make a set of ponies to be Jem and the Holograms themed to come out with the new Jem dolls and cartoon that Hasbro is working on.

I'd also work on more Princess ponies.

My first design would be place matt like rug. It would be large to be a room rug. But it would have an area where you put dream castle, paradise estate, Flutter Valley, Moochic, and maybe a few others. So you could play on the matt in the pony world.

I would make a merry go round play set. It would be big. Special harness for adult ponies to be held on the merry go round. There would be fun creatures like snails that could hold baby ponies that can go up and down. The whole thing would spin and play music. It would also have light so it would double as a night light:)

oh and a toy line....almost forgot!!! It would have fiber optic hair. It would change colors.

I would do more with color changing hair and body ponies:)

If I were designing for Hasbro I would create a unique shelf holder to hold the first six ponies. It would be white wood, two level(2 stalls on top, four on bottom) it would have the MLP rainbow logo on the upper shelft. Each stall/divider would have each ponies name.

This.

My first pony line would be a set of Big Brother unicorns and pony wear for them. I would probably do a rock star Big Brother, complete with black leather jacket and a big, permed 80s rockstar wig. I mean, who wouldn't buy that?

*Goes to prepare hair helmet when he remembers he barely has any*

-Make six So Soft and three Twinkle-Eyed stallions to go with the first lines of those ponies released at the end of the year and three colts to go with the line of fillies.
-Make a board game out Rescue at Midnight Castle.
-NOT make BBE baby ponies.
-Make a night themed line of ponies with glow in the dark symbols.
-Make a schoolhouse baby pony playset.

Wow. These are the best ideas ever. A girl can dream.
How about working out a cooperative marketing plan with Lisa Frank. Super colorful ponies with Lisa Frank character symbols. Maybe they would come with something wearable so you could coordinate with your pony

Fairy tale line! Ponies inspired by fairy tales, including (but not limited to):

-Peter Pan
-Red Riding Hood
-Puss in Boots
-The Six Swans
-The Mitten
-The Little Prince
-The Clever Farmers Daughter
-The Steadfast Tin Soldier
-Mad Hatters Tea Party playset

[reanna-mator]

Everybody already has so many amazing ideas, it's a bit hard for me to come up with my own!

Okay, I would design a library playset with little books for the ponies to read. They would only have a few pages of thin vinyl, for durability. There would be a story room extension with chairs and mats for a pony to read stories to the little ones! Accessories would include a book cart, library cards and a little stamp and ink pad for checking out books.

rainbow.........there is not enough rainbow, need more rainbows

- big bro need more attention and their own playset like a bigger showstable for them (i had a dream ages back about this)

- seaponies need their own playsets like a big pool place owners can have them swimming in, maybe a larger deeper waterfall like playset.

- a line of flutter ponies that have (stronger) all sorts of different styled detachable wingers, buy them separately from the pony in a pack of 2 pair and each flutter comes with 2 pairs also.

- molded hair ponies kids can take into the bath with them. no concern for rust or wrecked hair or a 'my first pony for babies'
