I. From the Ground Up: Figuring out the Generation
​

Before finding your pony's name, the set it belongs to, or its value, it's important to know how to figure out what generation of My Little Pony you have. One of the easiest ways to deduce this is to look at both the pony's body, and the information printed under its feet:

G4 ponies saw a huge change under the art design of Lauren Faust, and many collectors were surprised to see an entirely different style than before, with a much more diverse overall character base due to the TV show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic."

II. What's your G4 pony's name?
​

There are several ways to figure out which My Little Pony you have. Fortunately, we have wonderful members of the collecting community who have made this easier than it's ever been to accurately and easily identify your pony.

​

What makes the G4 ponies unique is their enormously successful television show. Are you looking to identify a certain character, or see if that character was made into an actual figure? My Little Wiki has a great resource for you, where you can see the show character, its full size figure counterpart, and its blind bag size release: http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/G4_Characters
