G4 Blind Bag Ponies are pony figurines that are fully molded toys and about half the size of the 'regular' pony toys. With their molded hair they more closely resemble the character in the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. G4 Blind Bag Ponies are similar to the Ponyville figurines of G3 and G3.5 (so they may be referred to also G4 Ponyville or G4 PV).
The US distribution of these toys has been very slow and only about 1/6 of the ponies released in Europe have been released in the US thus far.
'Blind Bags' refers to the fact that these toys are mostly sold in "surprise" opaque packaging, as in you can't see what pony you are getting until you open her up. However collectors soon found that each bag had a number stamped on it indicating which pony was in each bag

First Blind Bag Set
In the blind bags the ponies come with an info card indicating which number in the set of 24 she is. This is the same number that is lightly stamped on the outside of the bag on the top the back seam.
