My Little Pony games are as popular now as they were almost 40 years ago. The iconic little ponies have made a comeback in a big way and if you, like me, grew up in the 80s chances are you would have owned at least one. If you yourself, as a male, didn’t own a magical pony with a rainbow colored mane, then you probably had your Action Jackson action figure ride one into town or you would have maimed and disfigured your sister’s a la the destroyer of toys, Sidney “Sid” Phillip, from Toy Story.
Fast forward twenty years or so and if you, like me, have a daughter of school-going age then there is no doubt you would have to hear how the evil Nightmare Moon is free from her imprisonment and Princess Celestia has gone missing and to save her Twilight and the other ponies must find six magic stones called the Elements of Harmony, hidden in the mysterious Everfree Forest.
My Little Pony or MLP, the revamped TV series, specials, and films dating back to the 1980s not only appeals to the little girls that the toy line is primarily marketed to, but it has drawn a cult following of teenagers, self-proclaimed “geeks,” and even adults. In fact, I recently bought myself a rather retro looking MLP t-shirt.
In terms of toys and games you can get everything from colouring books and puzzles to spectacular castles and crazy colorful clothing. If you do have a MLP fan in the house there is no shortage of gift ideas and stocking fillers.
