Hi all, just a note that I am the owner of Giant Sundance. I just made a video on my channel explaining her story and more information that has come to light about her possible origins. So far no others have been found and her story is taking on some twist and turns. I will say it would have been nice if the spelling mistakes would have been corrected and I was contacted in some way to ask for permission to use my photos, info and text. As well as getting an update on the new information I have. For those that do not know BBE Baby, stands for beddy bye eye babies which is a type of pony that was made in the 80's and the type of eyes the giant baby sundance should have.
I apologize for not reaching out while I was working on the video. It's a very fascinating story. Would it be alright if I linked to your video about it in the description/up next cards on mine?
@@pegamationproductions6062 i doubt that it‘s no reason, for one you clearly have a spamming problem so she probably just felt uncomfortable with you doing that lmao i dunno but there‘s always a reason for everything
It's cause mlp back then were designed as characters that you care for (similar to baby dolls) as opposed to toys you were supposed to identify with or play pretend with (like Barbies). More of a Scruff a Luv and less of a Lol Surprise in modern toys terms. In reality kids staged elaborate dramas of love and deceit with them :P
@@hydreg I didn't have many ponies, but my sister and I did have a collection of LPS toys and we had soap-opera-tier stories with them. At one point, the black scotty dog "mayor" of our town got chewed up by my cousin's dog, so we spun it into a murder mystery.
I legit thought "hot dog horse meat" was going to be about Munchy, a Twice as Fancy pony who's got burgers and hot dogs as her cutie mark. You know, weird thing, because ponies are herbivorous and horses are used as meat in some countries...? And for those thinking "well, those are vegan burgers and hot dogs", lemme remind you, it was the 80s, those things weren't as widespread as nowadays
I've noticed the Black Widow Twilight plushie myself while watching the movie but I have a theory that this was the personal plushie of little actress in that scene. And that while scene was pretty intense for a child (emotional and she was grabbed and thrown around by loud adults) they've let her keep it for comfort and hoped that nobody would notice. But be did.
Yeah and if that’s true I don’t like how some people are annoyed because it’s not an older plush because “it’s not accurate” (I get it but like chill…)
envious of kids in the 80's bc.. they really had it all ✋😔 • creepy pizza place animatronics • g1 mlp • cable tv ( say what you will, but there's something so charming about the older stuff that aired back then )
England apparently also exists in Ponyland. Lickety Split (I think) says “And I’m the Queen of England” sarcastically. I also have a theory that the Princess Ponies could be Majesty’s daughters, and the reason for all of them looking different could be because of…concubines. Unless Majesty used the magic mirror like every other pony.
There’s also another anachronism in the Stranger Things episode. Erica’s backpack features the 1991 logo and the ponies Princess Royal Pink and Princess Royal Purple. Of course, that backpack wouldn’t be released until 1991.
I've always assumed that Ponyland and all those fantasy areas were somewhere on Earth, but separated from everything else. Like Firefly traveled to the US to get Megan, somehow.
As someone who is Czech, the Czechoslovakia entery was really funny becaouse the text under it says "why even Russia declined it's own help" It looks like that the pony is the reason
I believe that the girl who was into MLP in Stranger Things had a backpack that wasn't from the right year, but from what I remember it was still a G1 backpack so that's very nitpicky. It was very fun to see it referenced in Stranger Things, regardless. Great video! I knew some, but I learned more.
I get that feel. They included an Ultra Magnus in a scene that takes place in 1985, Even though the figure didn't release until 1986. They also modified the toy to have a motorized base for some reason
G1 is my favourite, I love the original mlp and it's always really bothered me that the community only seems to care about G4 I've even had people yell at me when I post older gen content
That's terrible😞 you'd think mlp's fanbase would at least be curious to know about what the previous generations were like. I wasn't born yet when G1/G1.5 and G2 was a thing, but I think the retro dolls of the older ponies were so cute and chubby. G1 dolls being my favorite while G3's are a very close second. No hate to G4 since I love the show, but people should at least give the other versions a try since without them, we wouldn't have had FIM and G5. It's ironic tbh since a lot of FIM's inspiration was taken from G1
That's sad to hear Reminds me of when I was younger and was not aware that there where other versions of mlp I went to the library thinking they would have different episodes of my little pony then Netflix they did but it was g1 I was very confused
It's upsetting to hear people aren't giving the older gens a chance. I got into MLP during G4, but looked back at G3 and G1 and fell in love with them almost instantly. I can safely say G1 is definitely my favorite gen. G4 might have the show, but the toyline is abysmal.
Yes they just kept rereleasing the same six characters the quality got more and more abysmal over time and they were so many spin offs and different toy lines that at one point I didn't even know what was sposed to be the mane series I started collecting g1s a little more then a year ago and its much less confusing
18:30 I HAD this book. When I was around 12, I was obsessed with G1. This was around 2014, mind. I knew all the lingo. Flocking, bait lot, all that. I would look over ebay, buying and restoring them the way this one website taught me. It was awesome. Man, I miss that. I just love G1 toys

Great video! It's always lovely to see pre-FiM MLP get more love. I would like to point out some inaccuracies, though. The cancelled Rainbow Ponies special was likely never a thing. The footage that gets passed around is just an advertisement, nothing more. They did the same thing with the Twice as Fancy ponies, which also gets mistaken for show footage. Majesty might appear in the show... a lot of people believe that she is Mimic's ancestor shown in The Golden Horseshoes episode, since she has the same colors, and the golden horseshoes are extremely similar to Majesty's. Pony cancer and pony smooze are not the same thing. What you described is pony cancer. G1 ponies had porous plastic, so pony smooze is the dirt and debris that gets stuck in the pony's pores. Also, the Fancy Swirls DO have names and a backstory. Their names are Pearlshine (purple), Swirlabout (blue), Mistyglow (white), and Starswirl (pink). Their backstory goes as: "A Night of Sparkles For the fancy swirl ponies, the most fascinating place in Ponyland was the sky where surprises sparkled against a velvet background. One night, the four friends climbed a starbeam stairway to explore this wonderful, wonderful world. They peeked into a nursery where baby stars were learning how to twinkle and sang lullabyes at the shining moon. A sparkling river poured from a glowing jar, and streams of it fell on the sun, moon, and stars, giving them their brightness. Just then, a passing comet bumped the jar and spilled bright swirls all over the ponies! The colorful swirls were beautiful, and the ponies were delighted that a part of the magical sky would be with them always."
Except the ancestor in Golden Horseshoes could have been Majesty if it had the same body colour, which it didn’t. Majesty has blue hair and a white body. The ancestor had the same colour hair but her body was pink.
@@pegamationproductions6062 I have no idea what you're talking about. I am not in the server, nor do I use Twitter. Did you mean to reply to someone else?
G1 (and G3 which I grew up with) is so so special to me so back when some of the FIM fandom started making fun of it and saying it was lame and way too girly and whatever it hurt my heart so much. G1 is special in its own way and has enough adventure and villains to be just as exciting!
i actually have windy, i think the one you showed is either white from lighting or discoloration like you said; mine has always been an off-white color to me, but under certain lighting conditions you can see she's actually a VERY pale lavender, yet the one in the picture is more blue. the repros likely went with the color used in 2D artwork/other merch, since most pictures of windy i've been able to find are also off-white with a purple tint. love your videos btw!
@@Powerfantasyforever i honestly don't even know 😭 she's very purple on box art and in plushes but the toy itself is definitely a light, purple-tinted gray; i'm guessing the intention was to be purple but it didn't work out at the factory or something lmfao. the repos went full-on purple from what i've seen though ... an enigma 🥺
As a Mainer the absolute primal reaction I had when the store Renys was mentioned, it’s such an obscure reference if your not from Maine. But much appreciated for the reference to there incredibly terrible bootleg toys ide stare at as a kid
It's funny that people thought of this as a little girls' cartoon, when the first episode has the villain threatening to decapitate a baby dragon, and then Megan flat-out kills the villain by blowing him to pieces.
disney begins selling ultra-pinkwashed smooze t-shirts at hot topic for eighty dollars a piece. my little pony disneyland ride with animatronics that bear an uncanny resemblance to early-tens source filmmaker models ............terrifying possibilities i think
Ah, G1 (and G2) have a special place in my heart, there's something about them (quite possibly just nostalgia, however) that makes me so happy. I can say that I am personally a fan of all 5 generations, but I believe these two to be my personal favourites. I consider myself more of a part of the collector side of the My Little Pony fandom than show, however, I have an interest in the shows, too; I do enjoy the G1 show a lot - it could be very soft and gentle, yet, it also had some darker moments, too. This contrasts with G3, which didn't really have any darker scenes in any of its episodes that I recall. I cannot say that it was perfectly written, but it definitely has a certain charm to it that I really enjoy. G2 never got a show in the first place, which I am admittedly a little sad about, but at least there was a PC game, comics and commercials that give a vague idea of the world that it takes place in.
My VHS copy of Escape from Catrina had that weird cover! I was always confused about the extra characters, but it was also the only MLP movie I owned, so I had no idea about things like Tirac or the Smooze or where Megan came from.
I used to get the show from the library, and it was great! I grew up with G3, but I liked the older show better. Since I wasn't around then, it was neat to see some of the stuff that has to do with it.
ohh boy yeah this was worth the wait !! my pony hyperfixation's been going crazy these past few months so i had really gotten into a lot of the g1 lore recently but i didn't know about that mirror thing!!! long story short i think i really need to read more of those comics klqhwkekletqw
For anyone wondering about returning points, the entirety on the g3 cast gets re-purpused in the g4 cast. Cheerilee in g3 is apart of the core 7 Scootaloo in g3 is apart of the core 7 Sweetie Belle is apart of the core 7 Toola-Roola is also from the core 7 from g3 Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie are obvious ones The only member of the core 7 not to have any g4 appearance was Starsong Also shout out to minty since she was a very common reoccurring character in g3 leading up to the core 7 reboot in 2007.
The mystery rainbow-haired pony has had an HQG1C version made of her though, under the name of Prettybow. Also, I still stand by my sentiment for these modern-day fan theories, which is to just give them one big, long, heavy _sigh._ It's the same stories, the same theories, again and again and again. People trying to make sense where there is none, people being unwilling or unable to accept any magic in storytelling and trying to explain it too much, often using other things they have no understanding of. The coma idea is thrown around so much in so many stories you can pretty much just expect it to be someone's explanation for anything that would be deemed as fantasy.
I wasn't gonna comment (am kind of shy usually! This video is super good!) until you brought up Mighty Magiswords, which is possibly my favourite cartoon ever and nobody ever talks about it, so I felt obligated. I learnt something today! I like pigs so two Porcinas is a win in my book. The show isn't shy about nerdy references, so if anything, I'm surprised it isn't a shout-out!
I really don't get it why the 80s Pony movie was a flop. I really loved it as a child and when I watch it nowadays, the only thing that annoys me are the scenes with the Witch sisters, they're long, loud and super chaotic. Apart from that? Lickety running away, the Smooze, the songs, the Grundles? Super cool film I dig it.
Welcome to my generation! My mother, sister, and I were the fans and well...let's just say MLP is very much a history the fandom has never seen. Just also want to say the Rainbow Ponies got Rainbow Bath set. That was how I got Rainbow Dancer
46:20 I definitely remember those subtitles... I don't remember all of the captions, but I found a few of them from a couple of comments on that video (mainly from a user named Clare) and, yeah, this is exactly the stuff I remember seeing with those captions: "Naughty baron guy leeches..." "Transvestite" "Step right out of wet fantasy" "Is a nitpicking goblin opera" "You look buff get arena" "Jester's leather c**k maze" "I be happy bat Stu" "Plagarism Sonata" "Easy ain't katana" "Lifeless eggs remedy sewer wind" "Pressed lemon possessed Lego dream" "Burning Catford family" "Shoot Hobo" "Penetrating Nude Larvae three way through" I think the captions also mentioned fascist leaders too, for some reason
Me seeing all of this made me had so many memories of the show, some characters where scary- and I can remember the time when I first met grogar, he was the scariest of the all- (I was only a 7 at the time so it was understanding-) BUT now seeing him as being 14- I CAN'T TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY-🧍♀️
BRAVESTARR ICEBERG PLEASE!!! this makes it obvious how much of a baby i am, but by the time i was growing up, bravestarr was already over and considered a "retro" cartoon which would come on late at night after reruns of both he-man and she-ra, so at like 1 or 2 am iirc. i remember listening to the theme song and several translations of it on youtube for God knows what reason. my parents rarely let me stay up late enough to watch full episodes, and by the time they came on i would have also been incredibly sleepy, so i remember virtually nothing but "EYES OF A HAWK! EARS OF A WOLF! STRENGTH OF A BEAR AND SPEEEED OF A PUUUMAAA! *BRAVESTARR*" i would so watch 30 minutes to 3 hours of you talking about its history and trivia. scratch that, i will listen to you give an overview and critique of every episode. i love your videos,,
I grew up on G3 and G4. So I never knew too much of the older generations. This iceberg kept me super interested, though. Kinda wanna look more into g1 now. Great video, either way! 👍
I just started watching gen 1 my little pony a couple days ago and it’s my new hyperfixation and I ordered 6 pony toys from eBay so I can put them on my nightstand and dresser and GOSH I’m so excited for the twinkly eyed one to come in the mail 💜
my grandma had a collection of the gen 1 pony's and mail order magazines, they were my aunt's before they were mine and i was constantly sad that i couldn't get the flocked pony's or the mail order exclusives. I actually had the first tooth and twin baby ponies with a lot of the accessories! i'd have to ask to see if my grandma still has them in storage. shes probably already garage sale'd them, but hey if they sold i hope they went to loving homes!
I'm really happy you're talking about the 80s mlp because I'm someone who grew up with g4 (I'm 18) but I'm just now getting into the older generation toys and I want to own some of them
I recently purchased a magnificently adorable 1984 baby Glory in pristine condition and I can't deny that her childhood nostalgia powers are eating away at my will to keep my collection at 1 and only 1 pony.
I just realized I have a knock off Magic Meadow pony somewhere in my attic. I always thought of her as a weird bootleg oversized My Little Pony, but she DEFINITELY looks closer to those. I guess I was half right?
1:21:11 Me watching the Fancy Swirl Ponies: All these concept ponies that were never made... Y'know what would be neat? If those people who released the 35th Anniversary throwbacks made some of these unused ideas into actual toys. Me not ten seconds later: TF DID SHE DO THAT?!! XD Also, I think the pony calling Lickety Split a "hot dog" wasn't actually referring to horse meat; saying that someone is "hot dogging" is just an old-timey way of saying they're showing off, though I suppose it could've been a double entendre in this context.
I love this iceberg!!! I feel like I’m one of the only people that watches and collects G1 (even though I’m only 21). Also you’re gorgeous and amazing shunks! I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning
18:59 hey shunks, I just wanted to let you know there is one for g4 too (but it looks a bit different) I actually own it! Though it’s for the blindbag ponies, not the brushables. I had found it at a bookfair when I was probably in about 3rd grade. And I guess it was being resold because it had come out in 2013 and this was in 2016 or late 2015 I think. And it came with a blindbag figure named tea love.
Love the video! Thank you so much for making this, an in-depth information video on G1 has been something I was looking for ever since I’ve gotten into the older generations.
This was a great video! It was really informative and really funny (especially the e621 part, you almost got me with that entry lol). Definitely going to check out some of your other icebergs now. One point I’d like to bring up is that there is actually confirmation that Megan and her siblings exist in the G4 verse outside of the one lookalike you mention at 3:55 - in the comic “The Fall of Sunset Shimmer” there’s a flyer in the human world that says to bring yearbook submissions to Megan, Danny, or Molly in Room E!
something that i remember that wasn't mentioned on here was an argentinian firefly with glory's symbol on it, and there's only one in existence, owned by someone named roogna. idk why this information has been very clear in my memory for so long.
Idk why, but I always feel like I'm watching someone talk about a creepypasta or something when I watch your v.ideos. Like around every corner i expect something dark. Ngl, I love it. You're an amazing story teller
Since the photographs of the g1 snow cone maker play set exist a prototype must have been made, has anyone done a search to see if anyone has it or if it was disposed of?
On a similar note to the Black Widow thing, Pitch Perfect 3 has a flashback sequence featuring Fat Amy as a child wearing an FIM nightie. Which would've been impossible since the character is in college in 2012 in the first movie.
I was at a con recently looking thru some old ponies someone happened to be selling, and they had a white Windy! My sister bought her while I got another rainbow pony, had no idea white Windy was unusual! She doesn’t seem to be faded at all, from all I can tell the plastic is just white, so it seems like it must just be a rare variant!
14:07 This is one of the main reasons why Gusty is my favourite character in g1 mlp, as much as I love her design and how mean she can be sometimes, her sounding like Bart takes the cake for me
Oh my gosh can you do a Care bears iceberg?! I always loved mlp and care bears and this iceberg was really well put together but, I've never seen anyone do an iceberg on care bears!
my love for mlp lays dormant until you upload the next video about it, in which case it returns full force so hard it makes me want to cry bc i love the small colourful horses so much
MLP Tales is weird for me, because I live in the UK and am 18 so wouldn’t of even existed when it was airing, yet it was one of my favourite shows when I was little as somehow my mum got her hands on a dvd copy of it. I’m lucky I got to experience it when I was younger.
i am a general collector and one of my favorite sections of my collections is my MLP Softies shelf, i’ve got Bow Tie, Cotton Candy and Windy (+ an anniversary FireFly plush) but either of the “pajama buddies”(preferable the BowTie one) are my ultimate holy grail as they are very hard to find 3-‘: very nice to see them on this iceberg :-)
would love a bravestarr one. Also just wanted to say I love your videos. I stayed only because you were so chill and now I know way too much about My Little Pony lol.

Also, the Fancy Swirls DO have names and a backstory. Their names are Pearlshine (purple), Swirlabout (blue), Mistyglow (white), and Starswirl (pink). Their backstory goes as:
"A Night of Sparkles
For the fancy swirl ponies, the most fascinating place in Ponyland was the sky where surprises sparkled against a velvet background. One night, the four friends climbed a starbeam stairway to explore this wonderful, wonderful world. They peeked into a nursery where baby stars were learning how to twinkle and sang lullabyes at the shining moon. A sparkling river poured from a glowing jar, and streams of it fell on the sun, moon, and stars, giving them their brightness. Just then, a passing comet bumped the jar and spilled bright swirls all over the ponies! The colorful swirls were beautiful, and the ponies were delighted that a part of the magical sky would be with them always."
Except the ancestor in Golden Horseshoes could have been Majesty if it had the same body colour, which it didn’t. Majesty has blue hair and a white body. The ancestor had the same colour hair but her body was pink.

@@Topknot Yeah, sorry.
G1 (and G3 which I grew up with) is so so special to me so back when some of the FIM fandom started making fun of it and saying it was lame and way too girly and whatever it hurt my heart so much. G1 is special in its own way and has enough adventure and villains to be just as exciting!

i actually have windy, i think the one you showed is either white from lighting or discoloration like you said; mine has always been an off-white color to me, but under certain lighting conditions you can see she's actually a VERY pale lavender, yet the one in the picture is more blue. the repros likely went with the color used in 2D artwork/other merch, since most pictures of windy i've been able to find are also off-white with a purple tint.
love your videos btw!

Shut up.
Windy is sposted to be purple!?! Mine is a very light grey
@@Powerfantasyforever i honestly don't even know 😭 she's very purple on box art and in plushes but the toy itself is definitely a light, purple-tinted gray; i'm guessing the intention was to be purple but it didn't work out at the factory or something lmfao. the repos went full-on purple from what i've seen though ... an enigma 🥺
As a Mainer the absolute primal reaction I had when the store Renys was mentioned, it’s such an obscure reference if your not from Maine. But much appreciated for the reference to there incredibly terrible bootleg toys ide stare at as a kid
It's funny that people thought of this as a little girls' cartoon, when the first episode has the villain threatening to decapitate a baby dragon, and then Megan flat-out kills the villain by blowing him to pieces.
As a mexican, the pony said "soy de México" caught me so off guard! LOL
disney begins selling ultra-pinkwashed smooze t-shirts at hot topic for eighty dollars a piece. my little pony disneyland ride with animatronics that bear an uncanny resemblance to early-tens source filmmaker models ............terrifying possibilities i think

I feel like Disney is close to buying Hasbro, since G5 looks like the modern movies such as frozen and rrya
Ah, G1 (and G2) have a special place in my heart, there's something about them (quite possibly just nostalgia, however) that makes me so happy. I can say that I am personally a fan of all 5 generations, but I believe these two to be my personal favourites.
I consider myself more of a part of the collector side of the My Little Pony fandom than show, however, I have an interest in the shows, too; I do enjoy the G1 show a lot - it could be very soft and gentle, yet, it also had some darker moments, too. This contrasts with G3, which didn't really have any darker scenes in any of its episodes that I recall. I cannot say that it was perfectly written, but it definitely has a certain charm to it that I really enjoy. G2 never got a show in the first place, which I am admittedly a little sad about, but at least there was a PC game, comics and commercials that give a vague idea of the world that it takes place in.
My VHS copy of Escape from Catrina had that weird cover! I was always confused about the extra characters, but it was also the only MLP movie I owned, so I had no idea about things like Tirac or the Smooze or where Megan came from.
As someone only really personally familiar with G4, this was really informative!
I used to get the show from the library, and it was great! I grew up with G3, but I liked the older show better. Since I wasn't around then, it was neat to see some of the stuff that has to do with it.
ohh boy yeah this was worth the wait !! my pony hyperfixation's been going crazy these past few months so i had really gotten into a lot of the g1 lore recently but i didn't know about that mirror thing!!! long story short i think i really need to read more of those comics klqhwkekletqw
For anyone wondering about returning points, the entirety on the g3 cast gets re-purpused in the g4 cast.
Cheerilee in g3 is apart of the core 7
Scootaloo in g3 is apart of the core 7
Sweetie Belle is apart of the core 7
Toola-Roola is also from the core 7 from g3
Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie are obvious ones
The only member of the core 7 not to have any g4 appearance was Starsong
Also shout out to minty since she was a very common reoccurring character in g3 leading up to the core 7 reboot in 2007.
For some reason i don't remember toola roola returning in g4
@@mezzovii she ended up being used for one episode in g4. It was one of the later seasons (season 7, ep 14)
The mystery rainbow-haired pony has had an HQG1C version made of her though, under the name of Prettybow.
Also, I still stand by my sentiment for these modern-day fan theories, which is to just give them one big, long, heavy _sigh._ It's the same stories, the same theories, again and again and again. People trying to make sense where there is none, people being unwilling or unable to accept any magic in storytelling and trying to explain it too much, often using other things they have no understanding of. The coma idea is thrown around so much in so many stories you can pretty much just expect it to be someone's explanation for anything that would be deemed as fantasy.
I wasn't gonna comment (am kind of shy usually! This video is super good!) until you brought up Mighty Magiswords, which is possibly my favourite cartoon ever and nobody ever talks about it, so I felt obligated. I learnt something today! I like pigs so two Porcinas is a win in my book. The show isn't shy about nerdy references, so if anything, I'm surprised it isn't a shout-out!
I really don't get it why the 80s Pony movie was a flop. I really loved it as a child and when I watch it nowadays, the only thing that annoys me are the scenes with the Witch sisters, they're long, loud and super chaotic. Apart from that? Lickety running away, the Smooze, the songs, the Grundles? Super cool film I dig it.
Welcome to my generation! My mother, sister, and I were the fans and well...let's just say MLP is very much a history the fandom has never seen. Just also want to say the Rainbow Ponies got Rainbow Bath set. That was how I got Rainbow Dancer
This was such a nice thing to have on as background noise! I really like that format. Also, thanks for featuring my artwork! 🦜
46:20 I definitely remember those subtitles... I don't remember all of the captions, but I found a few of them from a couple of comments on that video (mainly from a user named Clare) and, yeah, this is exactly the stuff I remember seeing with those captions:
"Naughty baron guy leeches..."
"Transvestite"
"Step right out of wet fantasy"
"Is a nitpicking goblin opera"
"You look buff get arena"
"Jester's leather c**k maze"
"I be happy bat Stu"
"Plagarism Sonata"
"Easy ain't katana"
"Lifeless eggs remedy sewer wind"
"Pressed lemon possessed Lego dream"
"Burning Catford family"
"Shoot Hobo"
"Penetrating Nude Larvae three way through"
I think the captions also mentioned fascist leaders too, for some reason
Wow…
Shoutout to Applejack for being the first pony to canonically kill a man.
Wait when did that come up 😨
@@nuggetthecatplaylist pretty low on the iceberg I think, in the part where she talks about the twinkle eye ponies backstory
@@evabible9770 I just of over looked that while lesson
The alicorn Twilight plush bothered me so much when watching Blackwidow. It completely took me out of the movie.
Me seeing all of this made me had so many memories of the show, some characters where scary- and I can remember the time when I first met grogar, he was the scariest of the all- (I was only a 7 at the time so it was understanding-) BUT now seeing him as being 14- I CAN'T TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY-🧍♀️
BRAVESTARR ICEBERG PLEASE!!! this makes it obvious how much of a baby i am, but by the time i was growing up, bravestarr was already over and considered a "retro" cartoon which would come on late at night after reruns of both he-man and she-ra, so at like 1 or 2 am iirc. i remember listening to the theme song and several translations of it on youtube for God knows what reason. my parents rarely let me stay up late enough to watch full episodes, and by the time they came on i would have also been incredibly sleepy, so i remember virtually nothing but "EYES OF A HAWK! EARS OF A WOLF! STRENGTH OF A BEAR AND SPEEEED OF A PUUUMAAA! *BRAVESTARR*"
i would so watch 30 minutes to 3 hours of you talking about its history and trivia. scratch that, i will listen to you give an overview and critique of every episode. i love your videos,,
I feel like you should make a custom toy iceberg including all gens they seem so cool.
Hello?? Why did you ban me from the Shunk Shack Discord server and block me on both Discord, Twitter and Instagram? It just doesn’t make sense!
There's a couple of little inaccuracies but I really enjoyed this, thank you :)
I've never even heard of Bravestar. So ABSOLUTELY I'd love to watch a 2 hour long iceberg on everything there us to know about it
I grew up on G3 and G4. So I never knew too much of the older generations. This iceberg kept me super interested, though. Kinda wanna look more into g1 now. Great video, either way! 👍
I just started watching gen 1 my little pony a couple days ago and it’s my new hyperfixation and I ordered 6 pony toys from eBay so I can put them on my nightstand and dresser and GOSH I’m so excited for the twinkly eyed one to come in the mail 💜
my grandma had a collection of the gen 1 pony's and mail order magazines, they were my aunt's before they were mine and i was constantly sad that i couldn't get the flocked pony's or the mail order exclusives.
I actually had the first tooth and twin baby ponies with a lot of the accessories! i'd have to ask to see if my grandma still has them in storage. shes probably already garage sale'd them, but hey if they sold i hope they went to loving homes!
I'm really happy you're talking about the 80s mlp because I'm someone who grew up with g4 (I'm 18) but I'm just now getting into the older generation toys and I want to own some of them
,,We're crazy pony people!"
...I...I feel called out...
Another baller iceberg vid :)
(Thanks for havin’ me!)
I recently purchased a magnificently adorable 1984 baby Glory in pristine condition and I can't deny that her childhood nostalgia powers are eating away at my will to keep my collection at 1 and only 1 pony.
I just realized I have a knock off Magic Meadow pony somewhere in my attic. I always thought of her as a weird bootleg oversized My Little Pony, but she DEFINITELY looks closer to those. I guess I was half right?
Honestly, I don’t hear enough about Bravestarr. Would love to see a video on it.
1:21:10 who else is here after the Fancy Swirl Ponies were revealed to be coming out for the MLP 40th anniversary in 2023?
1:21:11 Me watching the Fancy Swirl Ponies: All these concept ponies that were never made... Y'know what would be neat? If those people who released the 35th Anniversary throwbacks made some of these unused ideas into actual toys.
Me not ten seconds later: TF DID SHE DO THAT?!! XD
Also, I think the pony calling Lickety Split a "hot dog" wasn't actually referring to horse meat; saying that someone is "hot dogging" is just an old-timey way of saying they're showing off, though I suppose it could've been a double entendre in this context.
aaargh you look so cute shunks! congrats on finishing this massive video
I love this iceberg!!! I feel like I’m one of the only people that watches and collects G1 (even though I’m only 21).
Also you’re gorgeous and amazing shunks! I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning
Hello?? Why did you ban me from the Shunk Shack Discord server and block me on both Discord, Twitter and Instagram? It just doesn’t make sense!
Omg you are absolutely gorgeous Shunks 😍, and great video as always! Every iceberg video of yours I watch I get closer and closer to watching gen1-3 😆
18:59 hey shunks, I just wanted to let you know there is one for g4 too (but it looks a bit different) I actually own it! Though it’s for the blindbag ponies, not the brushables.
I had found it at a bookfair when I was probably in about 3rd grade. And I guess it was being resold because it had come out in 2013 and this was in 2016 or late 2015 I think. And it came with a blindbag figure named tea love.
Love the video! Thank you so much for making this, an in-depth information video on G1 has been something I was looking for ever since I’ve gotten into the older generations.
Hello?? Why did you ban me from the Shunk Shack Discord server and block me on both Discord, Twitter and Instagram? It just doesn’t make sense!
Oh my gosh, yes! I've wanted a video exactly like this! There's so much stuff in this I didn't know about.
I appreciate the long youtube videos you do. I can listen to them while working
This was a great video! It was really informative and really funny (especially the e621 part, you almost got me with that entry lol). Definitely going to check out some of your other icebergs now. One point I’d like to bring up is that there is actually confirmation that Megan and her siblings exist in the G4 verse outside of the one lookalike you mention at 3:55 - in the comic “The Fall of Sunset Shimmer” there’s a flyer in the human world that says to bring yearbook submissions to Megan, Danny, or Molly in Room E!
I feel good about that I suggested a couple of entries.
Also this Iceberg is just awesome!

1:01:38 "but don't look as creepy" are you sure??? that thing scared the crap out of me, even more than the previous one 😭
something that i remember that wasn't mentioned on here was an argentinian firefly with glory's symbol on it, and there's only one in existence, owned by someone named roogna. idk why this information has been very clear in my memory for so long.
DID NOT expect Shunks to slay so hard I love the outfit and I respect all the grind
Idk why, but I always feel like I'm watching someone talk about a creepypasta or something when I watch your v.ideos. Like around every corner i expect something dark. Ngl, I love it. You're an amazing story teller
"marvel avengers but replace Thanos with Weed" actually made me laugh in real life, good job
OMG youre so cute i love the makeup and the outfit!!! another great video!!!!!
Hey you got it back up now I can finally watch it.
Tbh Butch Hartman has such a shady history with companies and theft that I don't buy he wasn't fired for good reasons.
Why is there one person in the comments called Pentagon or something that keeps spamming comments about being banned from Shunks Dicsord server?
Since the photographs of the g1 snow cone maker play set exist a prototype must have been made, has anyone done a search to see if anyone has it or if it was disposed of?
So glad you finally got it to stay up :D
Omg I had one of those cabbage patch kid ponies!! Man it's so wild watching these icebergs because I had so much 80s-90s stuff from my mom
I absolutely love generation 1 of my little pony
My mom used to buy me my little ponies back in the early90's
I was just watching one of these icebergs the other day!
And your looks! You are so pretty! I especially like your hair.
Aww your cat was interested in the My little kitty part ☺️
Honestly, im a bit sad that baby Sundance was never found, makes me wonder where she is now...
On a similar note to the Black Widow thing, Pitch Perfect 3 has a flashback sequence featuring Fat Amy as a child wearing an FIM nightie. Which would've been impossible since the character is in college in 2012 in the first movie.
I was at a con recently looking thru some old ponies someone happened to be selling, and they had a white Windy! My sister bought her while I got another rainbow pony, had no idea white Windy was unusual! She doesn’t seem to be faded at all, from all I can tell the plastic is just white, so it seems like it must just be a rare variant!
14:07 This is one of the main reasons why Gusty is my favourite character in g1 mlp, as much as I love her design and how mean she can be sometimes, her sounding like Bart takes the cake for me
Oh my gosh can you do a Care bears iceberg?! I always loved mlp and care bears and this iceberg was really well put together but, I've never seen anyone do an iceberg on care bears!
I hope Shunks does one someday
But in order to quench your Care Bears thirst: ua-cam.com/video/_RQl5B3-b3U/v-deo.html

I haven't watched G1 and I'm not sure if I'll one day, but this was really interesting like all your other past icebergs ngl :3
I don't have a lot to contribute to the convo, so I'll just say I enjoyed the video, it was well made, and your eyeliner looks great! :)
Also enjoying this iceberg! Always wanted to see a G1 one and glad you delivered 🦄🌈💜
This is the first I heard of Somnambula outside of G4. I didn’t know it was based on a old idea.
my love for mlp lays dormant until you upload the next video about it, in which case it returns full force so hard it makes me want to cry bc i love the small colourful horses so much
MLP Tales is weird for me, because I live in the UK and am 18 so wouldn’t of even existed when it was airing, yet it was one of my favourite shows when I was little as somehow my mum got her hands on a dvd copy of it. I’m lucky I got to experience it when I was younger.
Getting some real Blame it on Jorge Vibes
i am a general collector and one of my favorite sections of my collections is my MLP Softies shelf, i’ve got Bow Tie, Cotton Candy and Windy (+ an anniversary FireFly plush)
but either of the “pajama buddies”(preferable the BowTie one) are my ultimate holy grail as they are very hard to find 3-‘:
very nice to see them on this iceberg :-)
