My Little Pony has been around for 40 years, resulting in lots of adorable toys, movies, shows, and even games featuring sweet, colorful ponies. Starting in the early ’80s, the brand was originally called My Pretty Pony and was created by the toy company Hasbro. Despite the brand’s popularity in the ’80s, it waned in the ’90s and was ultimately discontinued twice, in 1991 and 1999. The 2000s saw a revival and 2010 brought the animated series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. The look of the ponies has changed in each decade, dubbing them a new generation for fans.
