I'm not crazy about the G1 Pegasus sets. Why did they only get four ponies when the Earthies and Unicorns got 8? Why only 2 poses when the others got 4? I don't dislike them, but they just don't grab me. Also, I wish Medley had been reissued on the Paradise pose.
I don't find Firefly iconic.
Firefly's adventure Firefly is much prettier. Pose and everything. She has a much better color scheme.
Yeah, I don't get why a lot of G4 fans act like there's one, single, sole, G1 canon. There's lots of different G1 continuities! It's far from the only series/franchise/etc that has multiple continuities (Sailor Moon, anyone?). The pit pony backstory for the TEs is awesome (?? feels weird to describe something like that as "awesome", but... you get what I'm saying), but it's not the only backstory for them, guys! Not that I have any problem with mixing-and-matching stuff from various continuities (IMO that's half the fun of ponies, making up your own idea of Ponyland.. I've probably said before that that's one reason I dislike how show-centric G4 is), but acknowledge that you're doing that instead of just acting like these were universal concepts, dangit! :p

It's probably the same reason they view the G4 comics as "non-canon". My Little Pony has often had more than one continuity, that can be considered it's own canon (backcards, comics, cartoon to name what I would say are the obvious three.)I'm sure not all bronies are like this, but I have noticed ones who are. I think those ones are still relatively new to how things work, but hey... at least they're showing some love to the past gens.
It's also like claiming Tales is G2 because they want it to be.

HOW can G1 toy characters be part of a G2 cartoon but have zero appearance in the actual G2 toyline. Riddle me this. Is it really so hard to accept that G2 didn't have a cartoon show? Only three clicks on the internet could tell them this. Click 1: Search tabClick 2: Enter "MyLittleWiki"Click 3: Select "G2" linkI used to watch FiM on a German site hosting all sorts of MLP media and since it is run by Bronies they call Tales "G2" and the G3 specials are listed as "episodes" of a fictional G3 show.
