My Little Pony is a line of colorful toy ponies marketed primarily to young girls and produced by the toy manufacturer Hasbro. These dolls can be identified by their colorful bodies and manes, and typically a unique symbol on one or both sides of their hips. Following the related My Pretty Pony toy, introduced in 1981, "My Little Pony" was launched in 1983.

The line became immensely popular during the 80s, at one point even outselling Mattel's Barbie.[citation needed] The original toy line ran from 1983 to 1995 (1992 in the U.S.) and inspired animated specials, including an animated feature length movie and two animated television series. The brand was relaunched between 1997 and 2003 (1999 in the U.S.), and then fully relaunched globally in 2003. My Little Pony Celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2008.

The series is currently running in the US on Kabillion On Demand. The original line of My Little Pony started out with Earth Ponies: chubby-bodied colorful horses that have a group of symbols on their hips representing their names. The Earth Ponies were soon joined by Pegasi and Unicorns.

Sea Ponies resembled real-life seahorses, apart from the colorful mane and the anthropomorphized faces that they shared with the original Little Ponies. Flutter Ponies were much smaller and thinner than Pegasus Ponies and had fragile, translucent wings more like those of an insect, and featured a "fluttering" action. Windy Wing and Summer Wing Ponies were even smaller in size compared to the Flutter Ponies, but were proportioned similar to their larger kin, and had larger, distinctly butterfly-like wings.

Finally, Mermaid Ponies loosely resembled the mythological hippocampus. There were also male ponies had slightly larger bodies and feathered hooves like Clydesdale horses.
