Frequently asked questions
What exactly are My Little Pony toys?
They are super cute, colourful pony figures, usually with soft, brushable manes and tails! Each one has a unique personality and often a special symbol called a “Cutie Mark.”
What's a "Cutie Mark"?
It’s that special symbol you see on a pony’s flank (their side)! It usually represents their talent, passion, or destiny. For example, Twilight Sparkle has a star, showing her love for magic and learning!
Are there different kinds of ponies?
Yes! There are three main types, plus a super special one:
- Earth Ponies: No wings or horn, but strong and connected to nature! (Like Applejack).
- Pegasi: Have wings and can fly! (Like Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy).
- Unicorns: Have a magical horn on their forehead and can use spells! (Like Rarity and early Twilight Sparkle).
- Alicorns: The rarest! They have both wings and a horn, making them very powerful princesses. (Like Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, and later Twilight Sparkle!).
Why do kids love playing with them so much?
- Sparkling Stories: Kids can create endless adventures and friendship tales.
