"Soon, there were so many that I was having difficulty keeping track of their names and accessories. "I started collecting the G3 ponies when they first hit stores," says Summer Hayes, who has been a My Little Pony devotee since she received her first MLP, Applejack from G1 (the first generation), on her second birthday. The guide provides checklists that enables collectors of any experience level to not only keep track of what they have, but also to see what else they might need to track down to complete a set. Hayes envisions her guide both as an invaluable tool for organizing the MLP items that the reader already has and a means of introducing the world of collecting to a new generation. Parents of junior MLP fans may find themselves faced with bins of accessories with no recollection of what part originally came with what set. This set, known as G3 (for third generation), has not only seen a myriad of new ponies and sets in stores, but the success of these new items has also produced multiple new DVD and television specials, home goods, clothing items and, most recently, MLP's very first stage show, My Little Pony Live!: The World's Biggest Tea Party, likely coming to a town near you.Īs the popularity of the toys continues to grow, so does the list of pony and playset names.
