Show me... G1 Merch!

[Iceglider]

So neat. I love seeing all the original merch. I love that Mien Kleines Pony sign/mobile. The magnet stickers look like so much fun. I would have loved that.

Hathorcat, you are right about how we underestimate how popular MLP really was back then. All that merch and it didn't even benefit from the internet, fan-art, adult fans, etc. It was just kids like us who loved it. I was born in the 80's so I was too young to see 80's MLP in it's hayday. It was super popular. I even found an old book in the library at my college. It had a whole chapter about MLP, it's marketing, public reaction to the brand, and it's influence on children. It had Barbie, Ninja Turtles and some other brands as well. MLP was one of the very first tv cartoon series designed specifically for girls. It also talked about how Hasbro was using cartoons to market toys, and how some people felt about that. It was very interesting.

Glimpsed around the masses of my stuff and looked for something that isn't shown as often as other merchandise

Some shoes:

When I bought these the box was brand new, shoes are brand new. When I got it in the mail I was pretty annoyed because I think it was just shipped in the shoe box wrapped in brown paper so the box was crushed some. I didn't say anything to the seller, but I should have. It could have stayed like it was right off the shelves. Sigh.

And some used ones I need to clean up yet

I would have gotten a kick out of leaving pony imprints everywhere.

Those shoes are lovely!  They look like you just bought them at the store.

I love how there aren't many repeats of merchandise.  Everyone's collection is so unique because they made so many different licensed products!

I love all this old merch! I'm afraid I have nothing to share, all my G1 stuff is 'retro'. I wish I had all this stuff!

Man, so many unique pieces. While they're nothing remarkable, I'm really partial to jigsaws and storybooks, though I don't around to getting new ones often. I do have a couple ceramics, by sheer luck:
