For me, it was never about the show. I liked it yes, but it was more about the ponies and the adventures I gave them. It was a simpler time back then, I didn’t even know the show had existed until I already had an established love for the toys. When I discovered the show, it did influence play a little, but not by much. Also by the time I was into ponies firefly and company were no longer sold in stores so the rescue at midnight castle feature was fun because it didn’t have ponies I had in my herd.
The show at least for me was aired on the Disney channel so I didn’t get to watch it unless it was summertime because it was on when I was at school. I watched it when I could, but like I said I had an already established love for my ponies and the personalities I assigned them.
The pony world I lived in as a child, did not have tons of media or advertising. The only way I knew what ponies were available were from the backcards or pamphlets that came with the ponies. It was 99% play based and 1% tv/movie influence.
For me, the sea ponies and ribbon were my faves in the show! The sea ponies specifically from rescue at midnight castle. I did not have them, but the ones I did have I wanted them to be like the ones in the special! I also really loved the princess pony episode, Tiffany was always my favorite, but in my mind was different from her tv personality.
