EEEEE! I can finally get Blossom!! yaaaaaaaaay!!!
and also, omgIloveHasbro.

Hee. Though, they look funny without a forelock. *snerk* I hope they have the same hair and plastic as the g1's, but I'll take whatever I can get.
Hmm, I wonder how hard it's going to be to find a set? I may have to pitch a tent in the toy aisle, lol.

Somewhat to my surprise, I'm completely disinterested in these. I was hoping for G3 versions.

Yes, I know - I'm sorry - these are classic and will make a ton of people happy - but I got into MLP a little later, when the poses were more dynamic, and I was never a fan of the stiffer 'collector's' pose. My first ponies were Medley and Lickety-Split, I think.

Ah, well! I'm delighted that so many people are overcome with glee for these.

Cotton Candy's hair sure does looks darker, don't you think?

Are we sure they will be in the original packaging? Who found that out?

The lady on that good morning america segment said they'll be in retro packaging. The only problem with that though, is they'll be in sets of 3, so I'm assuming it's the old style logo/coloring in a 3 pack of some sort...maybe a box like the family ponies came in?

Holy...that's gonna be awesome!! I'm beside myself over here...

I like how they are close to the originals, but unique in their own way. Perfect in my opinion for anniversary ponies.

I soooooooo can't wait to buy them!!!

I cant believe they are finally... actualy doing it. but I would have rather seen others in diffeent poses like lickety split

Ohmigosh *Heart attack* that is so great! I <3 hasbro^^ *Hugs* You can bet your bottom dollar that they won't come to the Uk though.. *cries*

YAAAY! OKAY NOW. >EVERYONE BUY AT LEAST ONE SET<

Because when we do that, maybe they will do special collectors versions of other G1 ponies! <3

Wow! They look good .. weird eyes though ... also, do they look small? Compared to the lady's hand, and the Barbie standing next to them ...

Interesting. I'll definitely get them ... although I want to see their eyes first ...

Kel.

Yay!!!! The mention of "retro package" in the article is what got me all excited too!! *squeel!* Although they don't appear to look exactly the same as the vintage ponies, they are exactly how I pictured them appearing if they were to redo them in G1 molds! I cannot wait to see these beauties in person and see what the artwork is like. The rest of my day is totally made now!

This is just so exciting! Although I think it would have been interesting for them to make them as G3's, I am really glad they decided to use the G1 molds. I can't wait to see them in person (and to buy them) Is anyone else thinking they'll get a set to open and a set to keep MIB? I think that's going to be my plan.

my plan too!! whoo hoo!!! that is so very very very awesome, hasbro!! WAY TO GO!!!

I see ribbons and combs! Such exciting news!
