G4 Pony Figurines are fully molded toys smaller than the 'regular' sized pony toys. With their molded hair they more closely resemble the character in the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. G4 pony figurines are similar to the Ponyville figurines of G3 and G3.5 (so on this wiki they may be referred to also G4 Ponyville or G4 PV).

In the US (up til Fall 2011) only the mane six and six exclusive characters (all based on G3 ponies).

In Europe two 24 pony sets have been released. There the figurines are packaged in 'blind bags.' Blind as in you can't see what pony you are getting until you open her up, but collecters soon found that each bag had a number stamped on it indicating which pony was in each bag negating the randomness of in-person purchasing (where as buying online can still be quite random).


First Set of 24 Ponies

G4 Blind Bag
Identifying Blind Bags Chart[1]

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.


Euro Wave I

All 24 ponies were released in blind bags in Europe from the start.

US Wave I

MIB US figurine four-pack

At first in the US/North America only the mane characters were released. Fluttershy has only appeared with the puzzle house (which is still rare), still keeping her more rare than necessary.

They have been packaged:

  • as individually packed singles
  • as a four pack
  • as singles in a cardboard house with a puzzle
