Glowing Magic (GnS) and Rockin' Beats predate MLP Tales. They were older lines that got dragged into MLPT for some reason, I guess because they had a use at the time. It was a bit weird here because you had the original comic incarnations of these ponies and then when Tales happened the Rockin Beats got reinvented. I don't think the Glowing Magic ponies ever appeared in the comics for MLPT, just in that animated episode with Patch (under the UK set name, more or less).
We did get the Flutter ponies, though. Did you not have Rosedust over there?
I think I recall using that kind of weird logic with some of my own non-MLP toys as a child. If they were molded in a permanent sitting position I couldn't make it look like they were walking around and that bothered me, so I would come up with an explanation that they couldn't walk. Usually also give them some super-powered vehicle to cruise around in too. It just gets weird when you start presenting your bizarre childhood ideas in documentaries like TTMU.
G1 ponies lived in Ponyland over here. Not Dream Valley But yeah, that is a detail.I don't know if it's misinterpreted or if it's the army of brony has made so much of it the two mesh together, but I can't watch the TTMU interview without feeling like the show handled that interview as a showpiece with her idea of G1 = G1 and there wasn't a lot of exploration about what G1 was outside of how Faust saw it except "there was no canon". I loved all the stuff about the toy history and so on, but the show hit a brick wall when it realised there wasn't a FIM canon, and then went to the creator of the FIM canon to patch up the holes.I think it's also though that as yet I've not seen her say anything that gives me faith she based any of FIM on G1. I think it came out of her imagination - which is entirely fine, don't get me wrong, that's where it should come from - but then it got tied to G1 in a far bigger way than was actually the case.It's not that I think Faust is a bad thing to happen for MLP, either. I just agree with whoever said she shouldn't be interviewed on G1 as any kind of authority. She should be interviewed about G4. If you want actual fans of mLP, they should've interviewed the people whose collections they showed in the titles. Their diverse views of it would've been much more accurate and refreshing an image of G1's world than the FIM creator.
I thought it was Dream Valley which was a part of Ponyland? Except for that one weird UK video tape that got the wrong end of the stick and said they lived in "Dreamland"

Except for that one weird UK video tape that got the wrong end of the stick and said they lived in "Dreamland" Yeah, Dream Valley isn't the name of the whole realm, just the region where Dream Castle, the Lullabye Nursery, and Paradise Estate are. But I believe it's a name exclusive to the cartoon, while Ponyland is used in both the cartoon and the UK comics.
No, I did not watch the episode. I don't watch TTTMU. And all the complaining about the Lauren Faust interview with little mention of anyone else made it sound as if she was almost the sole interviewee.
