80's Weekend: Several My Little Pony commercials!

Of course, My Little Pony is still with us! Just in a different form. But I still think these first ones were the best. So many poses! Boy ponies! Sea Ponies!

I always kind of get sticker shock when I buy a pony nowadays. Back in the day, five bucks bought a pony big as my hand. Now they're teensy-tiny, and they're still five bucks.






This one just doesn't seem right without "Shoo-be-doo, Shoo-shoo-be-doo!"


The early baby ponies had cutie marks, but I will give the newer cartoon that the idea that you have to find your special talent to get your cutie mark works really well.


I had SEVERAL of these ones!

I loooooooved my Sea Pony, and cried when I had to throw it out because it got all moldy. :( I am a Pony purist... none of this newfangled pony crap for me! I'm old school. 80's or GTFO, for real. ;)

(Don't even get me started on the sexing up of Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Brite... grrrrrr...)

I dislike the new version of Strawberry Shortcake. I can hardly stand to get past the theme song when it's on the Hub. And I've only seen a glimpse of the newer Rainbow Brite, and I do not approve.
