Customer Reviews

Like the real first ponies only...
I have been a pony collector for as long as I can remember, and becuase I was born in 1983 MLP has been around for even longer :). While these ponies are in the same style as the old ones I think it is my job to say that they are not *just* like the older ones you may remember. The colors are much darker than they first were, more bright colors than the pastel shades. This is most true in the case of Minty and Blossom.
Also, their tails are very thin so there is not as much hair to brush :\
All and all these sets are great if you are not very picky or don't remember their colors well, but a true MLP collector may want to see them first before buying :).
I myself am getting a set, my childhood Minty needs a friend :).

Just like I remembered them...
I had the Original My Little Ponies when I was a little girl ,and now that my own daughter has them, I must say, they look just as I remember! I love that they are sweet and classic and not wearing make-up! I love the adorable decor along their side. My daughter loves that they face front and looking down because it is easy for her to make them "eat"... The only thing bad about them is that they are a little head-heavy and they topple forward when they are on the carpet. Sometimes this frustrates my daughter so she plays with them on her table instead. I'm not sure if the modern style My Little Ponies do that because we do not own any, but I wonder if this older generation of ponies fall forward because they are looking down! I think the new ones look up and to their side and that probably keeps them more well balanced, but would make it harder to pretend they are eating the grass! Overall, they are wonderful and I am so happy they reissued these My Little Pony sets because otherwise they would cost a fortune on e-bay!

Cute, but they fall on their faces...
My daughter received these for Christmas, and they are certainly cute and remind me of the ones I played with as a child. However, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned how they are front-heavy and unstable on their feet. I can't, for the life of me, get them to stand up on carpet. All three just fall straight forward onto their noses. On a flat surface like tile, our Blue Belle and Cotton Candy just barely balance, but our Butterscotch still nose-dives. Perhaps it's just our particular set, but that seems unlikely. Luckily my 18 month old doesn't care about standing them up.
