What’s the most valuable My Little Pony generation?

PDF download Download Article
  1. G1 is considered the most collectible generation. These figures were produced between 1983 and 1995. These toys can be hard to find, especially with all of their accessories—and they’re often highly collectible due to the nostalgia factor. [24]
    • G2 (1997–2003) is typically considered the least collectible generation. The design changed a lot when the new toys were released in 1997, and original fans of My Little Pony weren’t especially impressed.
    • Note that some collectors consider toys produced after 2021 to be part of G5.

How do I know if a My Little Pony figure is collectible?

PDF download Download Article
  1. Compare the details to previously-sold figures to estimate a value. First, carefully examine the figure, including the symbol and any marks on the hooves. Then, use a MLP database like the one at Strawberry Reef to identify exactly which figure you have and when it was made.
    • Then, go on an auction site like eBay and search for that exact figure. To get a value for your MLP, look at what other figures have sold for (not just what they’re listed for, since those prices can sometimes be inflated).
    • If you’re thinking of buying a rare MLP, do the same research—double-check all identifying marks to be sure it’s an authentic figure. Then, check similar listings to get an idea of what other collectors are willing to pay.
