The My Little Pony G1 Collector Ponies were the original lineup of ponies released in 1982, which consisted of six Earth ponies 🔗 that introduced the distinctive style and charm that would define the brand. Each pony featured unique colors, symbols (cutie marks), and personalities that set them apart.
On this page you will find the original six My Little Pony collectible toys (G1, or Generation 1) and how to get them on Amazon and eBay. I’ve also included the 35th Anniversary Edition ponies, brand new. Want more My Little Pony? Click here!
A Little Note on My Little Pony
My Little Pony was developed by the American toy company Hasbro. It mainly consists of ponies featuring colorful bodies, manes, and a unique symbol on one or both sides of their flanks. The original line ran from 1982 to 1995 and was accompanied by two animated specials, an animated feature-length film, and two animated television series. The My Little Pony toy line was revived in 2010 with the animated series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

All The MLP G1 Collector Pose Ponies
The six Collector Ponies were released in two styles: flat-footed (early versions with flat bases) and concave-footed (later versions with more stable bases). The flat-footed variants are highly collectible today, although all the Collector Ponies laid the foundation for the My Little Pony phenomenon.
The six original Earth ponies were:
- Cotton Candy: A pink pony with darker pink hair and white spots resembling an Appaloosa pattern.
- Blue Belle: A blue pony with darker blue hair and a cutie mark of bluebells.
- Blossom: A lavender pony with purple hair and a symbol of white flowers.
- Butterscotch: A yellow pony with orange hair and a symbol of butterflies.
- Snuzzle: A gray pony with pink hair and a symbol of pink hearts.
- Minty: A green pony with white hair and a cutie mark of green clovers.

She sometimes has to chase Cotton Candy out of her garden and enjoys napping under the rainbow. Blossom does not appear on TV or in the UK comics. However, she is featured in The Cross Weather Witch, A Shock at The Stable Show, and in the first TV commercial for MLP.
