Out of curiosity I'm working on a list to figure out exactly how many new brushable characters hasbro has been releasing each year.
I think the very first G4s started being released Oct. 2010 so I'm using fiscal years, starting 1 Oct.
There are several that I'm unsure exactly when they were first found in a store or first in stock online. I'm counting when they were first available to buy, not when they were first shown/seen.
I'm considering the first release of the character worldwide of new regular size "playful pony"-like brushable characters only.
Here's my rough list so far.
Can anyone help me make corrections if it needs any?
