MLP was planned to be a franchise for girls and boys, but Hasbro only showed girls in the adverts.
I am 100% certain that mlp has always been aimed at little girls What I will say is that the quality control of G4 ponies is absolutely shocking.

MLP has and always will be a girl's toy line, as far as I'm aware. Yes a lot of boys now like MLP, and some did in the past, but MLP is a girls toy.I'm not trying to be sexist, I'm not saying boys can't play with them or that it's wrong for boys to like MLP. I'm not saying that at all. What I'm saying is that the company, Hasbro, specifically designs them for young girls, all their marketing is aimed at young girls, and this has been so since the 80's when they first came out.
I remember seeing a video with Bonnie Zacherle (creator) and she had some prototypes of the G1 ponies which were normal horse colours and she said MLP was originally going to be aimed at both genders but after they decided to make them pastel colours and such the aim moved towards girls.
