Never had a little pony back in the '80's. I adore it now. It's so bright and pretty to look at, it makes me happy. I do wish they had scented these, tho, because it would have added another adorable factor. Also, it comes with a cute background on the inside of the box, but they gave no thought to this whatsoever. It should have a top over it so one can display the pony outside of the box without it getting dusty. Also, the bottom has flaps that won't allow it to stand upright. Just a little more thought could have been put into it without adding any further cost. No biggie, it's just a kids toy, right? I just happen to be an adult who adores my first "Little Pony".
