G3.5 Ponies
Generation 3.5 or G3.5 is the term for ponies in production from late 2009 until the end of that year. They were scheduled to be phased out by late 2010 and eventually replaced by the G4 Ponies. However this toys are still kicking around Target and similar stores into mid-2011. They are commonly known as G3.5 because they are the same characters as G3, but Hasbro gave the ponies a heavy style makeover so drastic that many collectors consider them a whole new generation.
Towards the end of 2009, Hasbro redesigned the My Little Pony line. The new ponies had large heads, small bodies, big feet, and enormous eyes. The new style (G3.5) are considerd to be kid ponies. Each pony was given their own age, and are sized accordingly with Sweetie Belle being the smallest.
This is the year the Newborn Cuties were first released. These are baby versions of the Core 7. They are not proportionate to their adult counterparts and have diapers instead of tails. Their symbols are printed on their diapers.
Ponyville was also affected by the redesign.
2009's McDonald's ponies were in the G3.5 mold. Only six of the Core 7 were made, with Toola Roola being left out.
