My Little Pony figures were originally produced in the US between 1982-1992, with a second short-lived revival from 1997-1999. You can still find these vintage ponies on eBay or trading websites such as MLPTP, along with the newer My Little Ponies from 2003 onward. These are called Generations 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Hasbro’s MLP franchise spawned countless characters and toys, but just a few items remain very popular today. Since My Little Pony party supplies are high on the list, the vintage My Little Pony cake pan is the holy grail of the MLP birthday party. It was made in 1986 and is increasingly hard to find. If you’re lucky enough to see one, hurry up and buy it!

Entertainment Earth also has good prices and a wide selection including accessory sets, puzzles, DVDs, and several kinds of My Little Pony games. Their inventory seems endless, but they have an easy to navigate website (try "Shop By Theme"from the drop down menu). All Aboard Toys is usually the cheapest price online (you’ll notice everything is discounted) and they carry toys as well as party supplies and other MPL items.

We love toys like this for young kids because they have a whimsical quality that encourages imaginative play, and lacks the "hurry up and grow up" mentality of Bratz-like dolls. For grown up kids (children of the 80’s), this is a truly fun and nostalgic retro toy. They even inspire people to make custom ponies like My Little Master Chief Pony!
