I just saw from Okamigirl64 on Insta that according to London Toy Fair 2026 (via Skylark24 who is also fab but she's not on IG or Tumblr!), Basic Fun is using AI art in their My Little Pony prototypes.

I've heard of some AI issues popping up in their Littlest Pet Shop line (both in prototype art/concepts as well as printed on actual toy packaging, from what I hear), but I'm horrified to see it on the MLP stuff as well. The MLP line has been criminally overlooked in general (apparently the SQWK pony has come to the States finally but only in the Midwest or something??), but apparently it's not enough to overlook the brand, we also have to half-ass it with AI!

I am not pleased!! So I wanted to spread the word too! Thank you to Okamigirl64 for sharing this on IG and Skylark24 for posting it to begin with! The new MLP toys look like a lot of fun, aside from the AI, and it's really annoying that I can't be properly excited for it! This might be worth writing a thoughtful email to the Basic Fun team, I don't know if they realize just how universally hated AI is, at least in the MLP spaces I interact with!

It's My Little Monday! With...Basic Fun Totally Rad Firefly! Who is OUT NOW at Target stores in the USA. (As of September 15th 2025) Grab her if you want her, she's only 9.99! Basic Fun has not released a G1 pony since the Twinkle Eye set, so it has been quite a while. It is a relief to see these, because it means the Tariff Terror didn't get the company and kill it, or put the nix on this wave. The "Totally Rad" gimmick is: Meant to be the 80s, so the box has bright colors, and the ponies own colors have been saturated (So darker/bolder) as well. The crimp hair goes right along with it, as does the scrunchie and leg warmers. It's pretty much a great idea at a great price. Absolutely get these and encourage everyone else to do so as well! However, it is not without problems: As you can see, they changed the eye on the pony to something worse, which is that she has no eye-whites, a weird black eyelid line, failure of the line to complete the back edge of the eye, and the eye itself isn't round. The eyelashes are also too long and strange looking going all the way up onto the forehead of the face. The bottom 2 photos are photoshopped to correct different issues. The left eye has the whites put back in, and the eye line completed. It also has the lid line deleted and the lashes shortened. The right side photo has the eye line completed, and the eye circle is much more round. Both of those options look better. Deleting details and making the eye look sloppy work is not 'very 80s'. (Did they have eyewhites in the show? Sometimes yes, other times no, the animation was notoriously inconsistent) Her pink is bolder than the original, as is the blue hair. She has plenty of hair, the crimp is very nice, and she's well done. The matte symbols (originals are glitter) resemble "movie Firefly" which was the 2nd release of the character in the 80s. So, that is consistent with being a fun variant of the character to have. She was an odd choice for the legwarmers (pose has a fused leg) but the wave had 2 other pegasus on it for some reason and they only own 2 adult pegasus molds...so...no real choice there for them. (Why not just choose an earth pony from the rainbow set/s to re-release? Then you don't get 3 pegs on one wave) Firefly though had to be chosen because of her popularity, which is good/fine. If not for the eye (like...thats the most important part) she would be a total knockout of the park 'totally fab' toy. That said, get this anyway!
