So I saw a topic that had a discussion of what generation different people got into MLP at, although the topic had originally started with a post about adults saying they found their ponies from when they were a kid , and who had entered back in g4, and the OP commenting on how they feel old.
All of this got me thinking….could a generation of MLP ponies be successful if it was aimed at- not the younger generation of children as is the norm for the brand, and not adult men that become an unexpected fan base of a generation meant for children…but rather…the adults who identify as collectors of the ponies of the brand? Granted, I’m not quite sure how such a thing would work, especially in the Avenue of the tv series. And I can’t necessarily see an entire toyline of the next future gen being strictly g1 reboots and releases for the collectors of the 80’s and 90’s.
Does anyone have any ideas on how a generation of ponies might work if it were stricktly aimed at the collectors audience?
