Did you see one of the comments on that Instagram post with Faust "MLP owes a lot to Faust" lololololol haha

Meet Kirk Hindman! Known as the mad genius at Hasbro, he has been working on My Little Pony since Generation 1 in the 80’s! Still today, he lends his hand to some freelance work for MLP!

Apparently, the bunny prototypes up at the front are unreleased Moondreamer designs.

I didn't think it was likely that they would *not* do an interview with Faust.  But thus far we have 3 interviews with G1 insiders plus Summer to only 2 interviews with the FIM crowd.  I still feel confident that the episode will be great.

I didn't see that as I don't have instagram yet.  But on Facebook some on called Kirk Hindman an "OB, original Brony."   

But these are just people commenting, not the staff of the show.

I like the checkered ponies a lot.

Did they do any interviews with G2 and G3 designers?

[Sunset]

I haven't seen evidence of it yet but I don't know that they have posted pictures from all their interviews or if there are still interviews to be done.

I think since they are only starting to post pictures now in season 3 to hype season 1 & 2 they probably aren't going to show "everyone" So here's to hoping we get more awesome designers!

[LadyMoondancer]

Just because there's an interview with Lauren Faust doesn't mean her interview won't be "about" G1.  She had loads of G1 toys as a kid.  I mean, it's likely to touch on G4, but could be along the lines of "playing with these great toys as a kid was why I was interested in being involved in a MLP show as an adult".  She is literally pictured with a table full of G1 ponies.

I am very interested in seeing if MLP's Forgotten Generation, G2, gets a mention!

The G2s were designed by recently acquired Kenner employees, and they did interview Kenner employees extensively for the Star Wars episode.  So it's possible they would also interview them for the MLP segment?

Edit:  I believe the designer pictured with the Moondreamers bunnies has molded ponies for G1, G3, and G4.  He's truly left his mark on the brand!

*wiggles*  So glad the show is embracing the original G1 so much.  Of course they would have to, because without G1, there would be no G4 and Lauren Faust would have just have had to contend with "improving" some other CalArts animated show... She is married to the creator of Powerpuff Girls, after all!

Ah good. It would not be a proper documentary if they didn't do a little on each.

Didn't it used to be a rumor/story that the Power Puff Girls where named for MLP?  Seems it might be true since Faust has said in a panel before that she owned Bubbles as a child.

oohhh, those Moondreamer bunnies..

They're adorable!

[Majesty]

It's nice to see Summer got an interview.  Did she get picked because of her involvement with the mlp fair or because she has nearly every pony ever made?  Either way it's great.
