Carrehz is right, HQG1C definitely do not have Hasbro's permission. It's like with the Third Party "Transformers" companies who make a robot named "Supernova Yell", but it's clearly Starscream.  But those at least make their own molds, HQG1C uses Hasbro molds which would probably put them even more at risk. And yeah, my main concern would be that this could boomerang back on HQG1C, which relies on Hasbro ignoring them. My anxiety is that Hasbro will decide "Well, the best defense (of our IP) is a good offense." On a semi-related(?) note, Hasbro / Wizards of the Coast recently sent the Pinkertons (private investigators) after a Youtuber who got ahold of a Magic: The Gathering set before their official release date and unboxed them in a video. I mean it got them bad press, but it shows the lengths they're willing to go to when they decide something is harming their brand.

They shouldn't have uploaded your photos, but the other complaints . . . I don't get.
You say they copied "your" designs, but Hasbro created the designs. Even at that, with your customs and their set being based on the same backcard art, BF's interpretations are quite different from yours: the hues, the style /color of marbling, even the color of the blue one's hair is different. And the molds are just mass-produced Hasbro pony poses.

I put mine in plastic ziplock baggies, which are then stored in plastic bins or cardboard banker boxes.
However you do have to be absolutely sure the pony is internally dry before storing her. Any time I wash a pony, I rest her with her tailhole facing down for a week to ensure all the moisture drains out. I've never had any problems with mold or mildew etc.
Keep the storage container out of extremes of hot and cold. Like don't store the ponies in a hot attic.

The ponies are all Earth ponies on the backcard and these are the Earth pony molds Basic Fun had at hand: 1. Collector Pose. 2. Applejack mold. 3. Seashell mold 4. Posey mold. 5. Tootsie mold. The Gingerbread mold has vacant sockets in the head since she's a Twinkle Eye. At the Texas Toy Show, Basic Fun reps mentioned that this set was more expensive to produce than a 'regular' pony due to the manufacturing costs of the stripes and antenna. So they'll retail at $15 instead of $10 (which iirc is also what the Twinkle Eye set retailed for.) Anyway, I'm really glad they put up the real pictures of them. The magenta one is a showstopper. Now if they were knocking off a fan-original design... Like if they made a pony that was "very close" to (say) Flufflepuff.
One time I found a company that made bootleg inflatable cartoon mascots of MLP and Pokemon. The ponies were mostly the Mane Six, as you would expect, but they'd also made a balloon pony-version of Mettaton. The sexy robot from Undertale. I was so baffled that I googled around and discovered they'd lifted someone's 2D art of Mettaton-pony from DeviantArt and then, for some reason, translated him into a ten foot tall balloon. I don't know how the artist felt about it, but I found it absolutely hysterical. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

Yeah, the character designs were based on the toys in G1. But if you watch the D&D cartoon episode "Valley of the Unicorns" you can see some influence for the setting. - beautiful pastoral valley which is the home of magical equines - rainbow waterfall, just like in Rescue at Midnight Castle - D&D unicorns can teleport, which I presume is why Twilight (and, later, all G1 unicorns) had this power. Even the sound effect is the same. Maybe MLP 'n Friends was set in D&D all along, it would explain all the monsters.

Three of the four Celestial Ponies have listings on Amazon now (not active yet though).  Though they are using pictures of custom ponies for some reason (maybe as placeholders while the "real" photos are finalized?) so just be aware that the poses and colors may vary from the finished product. Although only three ponies are listed, the description confirms that it's a set of four ponies. They are listed at $14.99 USD each. I have heard that this set will be sold in Fall 2023. But in any case it appears it is definitely going to come out!

I miss Dream Valley, it was the OG. I used to spend hours on there.

Finally. And such a show-accurate likeness!

OMG, that's soooo cute!! I don't think Hasbro would have been aware of them in the 80s, because I don't think most of the toy designers were horse people (they were toy people) and, no internet. Art imitating life . . . by accident!

His villain song was incredible. I have the version of him shown (that came with the Target six-pack) and a mini-version of him that came with that Amazon set of like 20 Polly Pocket size ponies.

In context, "cutie pie" is what the pony / the card-giver is calling the card-receiver. I think it's an intentional play on Pinkie Pie's name, but the trademark is an error on the card company's end. It wouldn't really make sense for the card to call Pinkie Pie by name.
It's possible she was called Cutie Pie in early production, but when Hasbro first made their MLP website (before they even showed any pony pictures, other than black and white sketches) she was already listed as Pinkie Pie.

IIRC there was a VHS cover of Rescue at Midnight Castle or Escape from Katrina where Spike had wings and a boy was riding on his back. (Maybe prototype Danny?) It would have been fun if he'd grown wings as the cartoon went along.

It doesn't do anything adverse to the body, but I oxycleaned a Butterscotch with gorgeous hair and I never could get her mane back to what it was. (I took her tail out for the process.) I washed, shampooed, and conditioned it multiple times but her hair never felt silky again.
So personally I would only do a pony's body, not the head, (and remove the tail.)

OMG, the tone is IMMACULATE, perfectly mimics the G1 pony ads! "~they're ponies with removable eyes~"
