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
Five Digit Codes
The secret ID number on newer packaging may have five digits rather than two. (Single digit numbers are written with a zero, ie 2 is written as 02.) The two-digit numbers have been interspersed with three (seemingly) meaningless numbers.
In one set the numbers added are 5, 4, and 2, so a blind bag with pony #2 inside is 02 + 542 = 50422.
So in a five-digit code, the second and forth numbers tell you which pony is inside.
The first, third, and fifth numbers are just to confuse you.

First Set of Ponies (24 Pieces)
First Blind Bag Set, Pink Bag
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. (Scroll down to US Wave III if your bags have mysterious five digit numbers.)

Euro Wave I
All 24 ponies were released in blind bags in Europe from the start.
US Wave I
At first in the US/North America only the mane characters were released. Fluttershy at first only appeared in the US with the puzzle house (which is still quite rare), which drove her value up extremely high initially.
They have been packaged:
- as individually packed singles
- as a four pack
- as singles in a cardboard house with a puzzle
The individual on card ponies have been sold in the US, Canada, and the UK so far.
- Wave 1
Playhouse Puzzle
- for sale on (German) Amazon.de
- supposedly a few appeared at US Kmarts
- 2011
- Includes pony figure (Twilight, Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy)
- Includes a 24 piece, double-sided puzzle featuring character on one side and garden floor on other for play.
- Box unfolds to create miniature house
Twilight Sparkle, cardboard house, and puzzle
Pinkie Pie, cardboard house, and puzzle
Fluttershy, cardboard house, and puzzle
US Wave III
The first set of blind bags appeared by the box (finally) on hasbrotoyshop.com February 2012, ie officially available in the US.
It seems that some/all of the first full run of blind bags released in North America do not have their collector card number punched into the packaging. Secretly however they do. Each of the two-digit numbers have been interspersed with the numbers: 2, 4, and 5. (Single digit numbers written with a zero ie 2 is written as 02). [2]
So 02 + 245 = 20425.
- 20415 - Pinkie Pie (1)
- 20425 - Applejack (2)
- 20435 - Rainbow Dash (3)
- 20445 - Rarity (4)
- 20455 - Twilight Sparkle (5)
- 20465 - Fluttershy (6)
- 20475 - Sugar Grape (7)
- 20485 - Lily Blossom (8)
- 20495 - Minty (9)
- 21405 - Bumblesweet (10)
- 21415 - Fizzypop (11)
- 21425 - Flower Wishes (12)

The Pony Rainbow Collection versions of Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity are almost exact matches to the Wave 4 versions. Pinkie Pie and Rainbow dash are darker than their Wave 1 versions. Twilight Sparkle is a brighter purple than Wave 1 as well. Fluttershy is darker than Wave 4 and slightly lighter but still close in color to her Wave 2 counterpart. Applejack is darker than in Wave 4. With the exception of Emerald Ray, the Rainbow Collection does not have the black numbers stamped on the bottoms of their hooves differentiating them from the other waves.
