I'd like to start collecting G1 merch, but I really dislike the toys!

[Empress Celestia]

So, is there much in the way of merch like books, plushies etc, like there is with FiM?

[PinkiePosh]

Yes, I'd say even more than FiM but I'm not a big g4 fan so I don't pay much attention to it! 

[nessy_86]

There is a ton of G1 merch! I'm sure one of the big merch collectors will pop in here and tell you all about all the different goodies!

I personally have books, plushies, puzzles, stickers, postcards, and a few other things. I have seen much more than that though

I do know about the G1 comics as I've been trying to get my hands on one or two for quite a while!

Yeah there is a lot of G1 stuff out there.  I still see new items yet. 


My little Wiki has a great general page with links to individual sections with a lot of pictures.

Dream Valley used to have an amazing puzzle list and assorted merchandise, but she had to take it down when she moved the site.  She has put the plush page back up:

I could probably track down an old list of puzzles, books and some other stuff.  I have to find the right file (and probably convert it from MSworks to Microsoft Word).  I think most of it is on the wiki site.

G1 merch I've seen are watches, sewing machines, hallowe'en costumes, toothbrush holders, alarm clocks, bubblegum machines, tea sets, keychains, license plate covers, sewing kits...pretty much anything you can put a pony on! I'm still leaving out.a LOT of stuff

[Kazzellin]

Not to mention the lunchboxes, thermoses, sleeping bags, at least one luggage set that I've seen, purses (two of which came with exclusive baby ponies), wallets, board games, and Target recently had a new released journal with Firefly and Sundance on it (though being new, it technically doesn't count as G1?).

They licensed ride-on toys and pretend kitchen things, including a metal kitchen!!! and there are egg cups and mugs and kitchenware...  there's clothing and patterns and sewing cards and clocks and mirrors and play cosmetics items...  School supplies... oh there's a LOT!  Lite-Brite, board games, party favors...

[StoryDreamer]

Ponylandpress.com also has some nice pictures for the merchandise.

You literally can just go into Google and search vintage My Little Pony (insert a word here) and find nearly anything!

Stickers, lunchboxes, clocks, etc.

[Leave a Whisper]

Sure there's plenty. Books, lunch boxes, movies, a box set, sleeping bags...

You can find some new "retro" MLP merch in US and UK stores. There are threads about them now and then

[mlp4me]

There's the purses with a collector pose ponies on it, pajamas, posters, roller skates, slippers... There's quite a variety.

[Sunset]

There are porcelain figurines that are quit lovely. 

One of my favorite pieces of random merch from my childhood ( and I still have it) is a bakery set that came with a plastic mold for making pony shaped candies.

I think everyone here has summed it up perfectly...you think FiM has a lot of merch, try 10+ years of world wide merch for G1. There are simply too many things to list. Basically if you could stick an MLP logo on it back and aim it at a kids market in the 80s someone probably licensed it
