How many are there?

[angela22]

Hey, just wondering: How many unique G1 MLP are there? Including both international and US ponies (but not Nirvana variants of unique ponies)...

Anyone care to take a stab at it?

Extra credit:
Oh, and how many out of those are BBE and sea ponies? (both of those totaled)

BBE:  15

G2:  About 200

G3:  About 450

And here I have a goal to get all ponies ever....

I have about 40 G4s so I think your off a little.

TheBeatlesPkmnFan42 Are there really 40 unique G4's not including any rereleases of the same pony?  I only have like 9!  LOL

Nice tally LBS! I am always amazed at how many unique G3s there are - G4 has a super long way to go although I didnt realise there were as many as 40 either!

The danger with numbers is the word "unique" - because are you considering Bow Tie in shy pose the same pony as the UK Collectors pose version or SS Wind Whistler the same pony as NSS Wind Whistler or even Baby Gusty BBE the same as the Euro version of her? If you do you may have to round down the G1s to closer to the 600-700 mark.

Just guesses from the last time the subject came up...    I am counting different poses in international releases as unique, yes. 

[hathorcat]

Its a pretty impressive number for a line - even considering the number of countries and the number of years it was about! I am sure we all once worked out a rough idea of number when we worked on the "Bow Tie is Bow Tie no matter her pose" angle...but I lol I cant find the old thread!

There's all the blindbags, fashion styles, some mane 6 with tinsel, shine brights. There are a lot. I counted my G4s, I have around 40.

[Wilford B Wolf]

if you counted the g4 blind bags alone theres more than 100 right there..its onto what wave 5? at 24 per set(admittedly some are re-pops that are the same)

[hathorcat]

I think the totals may refer to brushable characters only rather then including blind bags. I know for G1 numbers, I wouldnt include the pony charms as characters [although some of them would be super cute as brushables].

Wow - are there only 30 sea ponies and 15 bbe? i think that's the most shocking part of that.

OK, and let me get this straight, if we were to count a character as a character - no matter how they are depicted (different pose,etc.) - and just count ONE applejack, and ONE bow tie, etc. - would the number then be something like 600-700? Because, although I love your numbers, LBS, I'd like to fool myself into believing that I can one day have them all. lol 600-700 is much easier number to fool myself with ;P

Yes, LBS tally is the better one - as something like BBE Baby Ribbon is a very different looking pony from the Play and Care Euro Baby Ribbon. But if we were to say ONE Baby Ribbon only [no matter where she is Euro or US] then the number comes down to 600-700...I honestly think it was about the 630-640 mark but I cant find the old post on the subject and I have searched lol! Its driving me crackers.
