Rainbow Dash figurine

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).
