A new day is dawning in Zebrica, and as the curtains are drawn back on the orchestra, the conductor raises her baton and a single hopeful note breaks a century of silence. For the first time in a hundred years, the kirin of the Realm have the chance.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

So Hasbro decided to update its popular little girl s toy line from the 80s, My Little Pony.
In the Pony collector community, the eras of My Little Pony are divided into four generations: the first generation that lasted ten years in the U.S., then multiple reboots. Absolutely none of these concern us here except the third, and of this writing most recent, reboot, called Generation 4.
For Generation 4, Hasbro went and did a weird thing. They handed the design of their toys over to an animator, Lauren Faust, who had previously worked at Cartoon Network making the extremely popular series Powerpuff Girls and Foster s Home for Imaginary Friends. She also happens to be the wife of popular animator Craig McCracken, who created those shows, and which may be a case of talent attracting talent.
