After the relative lack of success of the My Pretty Pony toy line, Hasbro introduced six smaller and colorful versions of the toy in 1983, sold under the title My Little Pony. The toy line led to many more merchandise under the My Little Pony brand, which later became unofficially known as the "Generation One" or "G1" of My Little Pony among collectors.
1988–1992, 1988-1995 (Some countries)[]
This incarnation ended in 1992 in the United States, but was marketed in some countries until 1995.
1997–1999, 1997-2003 (Europe)[]
The toy line was revived in 1997, but these toys proved unpopular and were discontinued in 1999, but still used in Europe until 2003.
2003–2009[]
The third incarnation of My Little Pony, which is often unofficially referred to as "Generation Three" or "G3" by collectors, began in 2003. The revamped line of dolls was targeted to a younger audience than the previous lines. Before the generation's end in 2009, there were at least two minor revamps. A series of direct-to-video animated films (mostly produced by SD Entertainment) accompanied the line-up.
