Published in a licensing magazine. It's nice imo! Curious to see what they'll do to celebrate the whole of the brand.

Congratulations MLP you've kept on truckin longer then most of your peers at Hasbro. With the exception of GI Joe.

Ohhhh, the original rainbow makes me feel so nostalgic!

Not only is this a really cute logo, but it must mean we'll be getting some kind of retro merch or products!

I still have twitches when I see 1983 on things, rather than 1982...but that aside, it's nice to know they're recognising the milestone.

I don't really like the font of the logo, it's too G4-G5ish for me, but I understand why it's that way. I DO like the rainbow though.

Maybe the lettering will grow on me.

My guess is they used the G5 font to keep it visually tightly connected to the current line. I don't mind the font, but I could have done without the ombre fill. I would have filled the individual letters with the colors of the rainbow to tie it nicely together. It's nit-picky though.

it looks like the 3rd generation Care Bears font and colours!

It makes sense they'd use the G5 logo for this since that's the current one. I assume if they do make any retro merch they'd use a more appropriate logo for those.

There's more information somewhere, I think the Toy World Mag, but I'm on my phone right now. Something to the tune of Retro Phone cases but nothing specific.

I was expecting a 40th celebration, good to see it's (apparently) going to happen.

Don't disappoint, Hasbro!

I think the logo looks cute!
But I'm more curious about their plans to celebrate the anniversary.

It's a good opportunity for Hasbro to reissue Pinkie Pies :D

Hmmm, in terms of toys, we'll have to settle for Basic Fun's assortment I think. Brand celebration seems to be all about merch and licensing from Hasbro's POV.

Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up for any Hasbro toys except maybe another SDCC set like the Twilight one they did a few years ago, I could see them doing something like that.

That sounds like a pretty lame offering for a toy brand's 40th anniversary.

Strategic partnership coming out of the UK.

*pause*
*blink*
what? :P

I agree, it sounds very low-key.

And that definition of the fandom? Hah. The fandom they know is nothing like that. The fandom they don't know probably isn't going to hop skip and jump over a fashion partnership.

That's all :)

Posted this in the 35th anni thread, but we have Celestial Ponies (https://twitter.com/evilxcanadensis/status/1572338942321561605) coming from Basic Fun for the 40th anniversary! As well as a set of blindbag miniature ponies (https://twitter.com/evilxcanadensis/status/1572341136353595393)!

I can't believe they're really doing the celestials after all this time!!!

Oh my goodness, that makes me so happy to see! I will have to grab the Celestial Ponies when I get the chance.

Aren't they still doing Mr Potato Head and Transformers?

I really really want them to do a My Little Pony Transformer that actually transforms.

I'm honestly surprised they've never done this! It seems like such an obvious idea for a crossover.

Right??  They already have two horse molds they could use, one of which has a brushable tail!

Wow though, I've never seen that one before! I knew about Battle Unicorn, and the little one... Unilla? But not the brushable one. Cool :O

Yeah, they're really cute. I'm kicking myself for not buying them when they were still in shops x)

The brushable one started to concern me when I realised that the humanoid version's head hair is the pony's butt tail when transformed.
That raises all kinds of issues, biologically speaking.

Same, 100%.

Don't fail us Hasrro, make magic happen, make this anniversary one that we all get to enjoy product distribution, world-wide...

Forget Hasbro, we're all fortunately relying on basic fun to make it memorable. Hasbroken wants to give us make up and pinkie pies probably.  >_<
