Looks like there is hope for us getting these awesome G5 toys from China in the US... https://www.tumblr.com/g5mlp/788780260068147200/the-dinosaw-g5-toys-were-spotted-outside-of-china ...because they were recently found to have English words used on their packaging!

We have another new backpack coming. https://www.tumblr.com/g5mlp/787874379875958784/and-yet-another-new-sprayground-x-my-little-pony I'm not sure what the shark teeth are for, but whatever.

Proud to be a Pippsqueak this summer and always, Pipp! You and Zipp are better together!

That's no shock at all. It's always been the most popular generation and licensees gravitate toward what's most popular. G5 just does not have the luxury G4 got back in the day and the fact that it's still getting attention is what matters most to me.

So it looks like MLP is still doing fine and Hasbro is not completely ignoring G5 despite the rumors. https://www.equestriadaily.com/2025/06/licensing-mag-reveals-few-plans-for.html https://issuu.com/toyworldmag/docs/licensing_world_may_2025 On Page 42 of the magazine... “The brand is also performing well in the collectibles and plush market with dynamic and highly localised releases from Mighty Jaxx and Reesee, catering to nostalgic fans and new generations alike. Released last year, My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale on YouTube brought fresh storytelling and music, deepening fan engagement.” TYT's even featured by the Hasbro logo. Don't feel things happened the way they did because G5 "failed" from this, especially not with the new Hasbro-promoted TYT merch. I think it has to do with the sudden boom of G4 stuff.

We're getting yet another G5 toy from Dinosaw, this one's really cool... https://www.equestriadaily.com/2025/06/new-dinosaw-brushable-pipp-petals.html I love Pipp and I can not believe how awesome she looks here!

I'm actually a little late on sharing this, but we're getting new TYT-themed backpacks from Sprayground. https://www.tumblr.com/g5mlp/786253251240722432/new-sprayground-x-my-little-pony-tell-your-tale?source=share https://www.tumblr.com/g5mlp/786513301625552896/another-new-sprayground-x-my-little-pony-tell?source=share Interestingly, these backpacks were actually promoted by Hasbro. https://newsroom.hasbro.com/news-releases/news-release-details/hasbro-returns-las-vegas-licensing-expo-2025-big-reveals “Sprayground (NAM): For the fan that’s always on the go, Sprayground’s new range of MY LITTLE PONY bags and accessories feature vivid details and designs that match Sprayground’s rebellious spirit.”

Currently on my third watch of Make Your Mark and almost done with my second watch of Tell Your Tale and...this series is still awesome. It is 100% nostalgia, G4 connections, and art style that clouds people's judgement on it. Just look at this. https://www.equestriadaily.com/2025/06/poll-results-what-is-best-thing-about.html#disqus_thread Not even 30% of bronies think writing is the best thing about FiM. The amount of people who value looks and lore more...like...no wonder you can't appreciate this generation's great writing.

I keep seeing people complaining about this series being "wasted potential" because of this thing not being explained right or that thing not being developed right even as it barely had any time to do what it wanted to do. G4 did the exact same thing while it had loads of time to do what it wanted to do. Why does the series that had much less opportunity get railed on so much more?

You should check out what's planned for the fan revival then.
