The buck teeth are really throwing me off, to the point that despite the surrounding design, my brain keeps insisting that he's supposed to be a beaver or something.

Came for the Trek, stayed for the ponies. Gotta love 80s products.

The UK Transformers comics of the time also used US only toys as characters, because they were 50/50 reprints of the American comics mixed with British ones. We readers knew there were toys that we just weren't going to get, Devastator, Swoop, Shockwave, and so-on were just out of reach. Every so often the letters page of the UK comic, hosted by a transformer in a weird in-universe joke, quite often explained that the UK market was too small for the toys to all come out. Which sucked.

This kind of reminds me of how there were UK-specific Marvel comics with their own stuff going on: for instance, their version of the Transformers had a robotic bounty-hunter antihero named Death's Head who eventually spun off into his own comic and had a crossover with Doctor Who. So in Marvel UK, there's a character who had a run-in with Sylvester McCoy's Seventh Doctor immediately after having an adventure with the Transformers. (He was originally Transformer-sized, but the Doctor shrank him down to human scale using the Master's Tissue Compression Eliminator! The Seventh Doctor always was a bit of a gangster.)

UK Marvel also did the comics for ThunderCats in the 80's as well. Some of the original comics were based on episodes or just a re-issues of the the North American Star Comics ThunderCats line. But the Star line only lasted 24 issues, while UK Marvel made 129 issues. Like MLP and Transformers, the UK Marvel line kinda did its own thing with stories. =)

UK Marvel's ThunderCats line had 129 issues over 3 years. They published weekly issues, compared to Star Comics, the North American ThunderCats publisher, who published 24 issues in the same 3 years due to publishing bimonthly (before switching to monthly). Considering the amount of content UK Marvel was pumping out, and the frequency, it's no wonder they had to get a little creative with stories.

oh so good to see someone diving into these comics! i would be VERY interested in a part 2, these comics get even more insane with the plots later on, gotta love how a solid chunk of them are just "the ponies organize a nice party but then interdimensional demons show up and force them into slave labor and they must find a way to escape". everyone always talks about the one with applejack and the wizard, but theres also the ice cream witch one which was super bonkers.

I love the Lisa Frank vibe you have going with the color filters. It's like you're posting from a middle school notebook. 💜❤️🩵💙💚💛

Good to see you back at a table solo talking about media.

Since you mentioned Gen 1 Ponies not having much personality, I think that was actually by design. The idea was probably to leave them uncharacterised enough so that young girls could imagine their personalities for them, only having enough characterisation to get them started

My Wife and I had a blast! Please do more of these reviews when you can!

13:46 - I mean... it's weird for the babies to be the children of those characters too, since they're literally just named the same as their parent but with "baby" in front and look like little clones.

Glad you're making videos. The wholesomeness of anything you are interested in is what adds to the feel good factor of your comedy. I really like the Swan Princess videos you did for example, your funny noises and faces make it funny and relaxing.

my favourite issue is when Lickity -split and Bunny Rabbit have a rap battle

It seems like not letting the Sea Ponies stand on their own would greatly limit their play value. Like, give them a molded base, I don't think the little kids would have minded! Anyway, this was a very cute video and I hope to see more MLP stuff from you.

That's a VERY neon set.

So UK ponies had a Celestia....

The Transformers UK had a similar problem when it came to featuring toys that weren't actually sold there. Let's just say I was pissed that the Predacons and Constructions weren't available in Ireland - until imports and overseas shipping became a thing.

Yep, Swoop was the only Dinobot not sold in the UK (due to stricter safety laws and how notorious fragile his toy was) yet he easily got the most characterisation and storylines out of all the Dinobots bar Grimlock. Fortress Maximus failed safety checks too (probably tipped over and crushed a kid, I dunno). Shockwave and Omega Supreme's toys were already licensed to non-Hasbro companies so came out as non-Transformers. Roadbuster and Whirl were part of the Wreckers even though we didn't get their toys either. Of course there are toys of all these characters in UK these days and hey even Death's Head is getting a Marvel Legends figure this year for SDCC :)

Thanks for making me regret getting rid of my MLP comics. Shaking my fist at my preteen self for being too old for them. I was obsessed! Got the comic every fortnight (or two weeks!) Even was in the fan club! Some of the stories were quite dark (the twinkle eyed ponies for example) and some of the story frames for recycled for new stories later on. Pony feathers was used a lot. Still have some of my ponies, though years in the loft have not been kind to them. Thanks for giving this 44 year old a nostalgia trip😁

I loved My Little Pony when I was a kid and at one time had quite a few of the ponies and some of the toys. I wish they would’ve made the comics here in the states, that would’ve been awesome! Please keep reviewing them and anything My Little Pony related; it was a nice trip down memory lane.

This was surprisingly delightful. If you decide to make a regular thing of going through this odd pony comic continuity issue by issue, I'll be happy to watch along. I was going to explain the "ponyfeathers/horsefeathers" thing, but it seems like the rest of the comments have that covered.

That artwork is giving me flashbacks! Although given that my sister collected MLP when we children, I probably read it back in the day! The concept of the title page being part of the story also triggered a vague half memory...I wonder if any other comics in the UK did that?

I look forward to seeing you cover the story, "Applejack's Amazing Adventure". Spoilers for what happens in it below: . . . . . . . . . An evil wizard captures a bunch of ponies to work in his mine to mine jewels for him and they spend so much time down in the dark caves, they go blind. Then Applejack gets captured by him, and she ends up killing the wizard. Then his throne explodes and all the jewels in it lodge into the eyes of the captured ponies, and that's the origin of the Twinkle Eye Ponies. Yes, really. G1 Applejack killed a guy and the Twinkle Eye Ponies have jewels jammed into their eyes after being enslaved and going blind. These comics are amazing.

Zordon: Too much pink energy is dangerous.

Thanks for the pony content! I am definitely up for more UK pony comic reviews.

I used to watch your videos back in the "Thatguywiththeglasses" era. It is wild that I'm only now rediscovering your content!

Definitely like to see more of these. Reminds me of the mini comics that used to come with action figures. The stories and backgrounds for the characters were all over the place, and rarely matched the cartoons.

I had very few My Little Ponies as a kid and Glory and Baby Moondancer were two of those few. Glory always fell over, as she demonstrated throughout your video. I think that made me very quickly fall out of love with the toys. I didn't know there was a comicverse from the 1980s. And you got the first issue! I loved this video. Thank you for taking us through the first issue. I, like you, thought the Babies were the children of the adult ponies. That's some strange dimensional travel quantum physics going on. Like there's an adult version and a baby version in the same world and none in the world the babies just left by going through the mirror. I guess it works better if you just go with it instead of overthinking it.

Wind Whistler is one of my favorites too, alongside Fizzy and G3 Pinkie Pie. I love all the pre-G4 eras of MLP with the exception of Tales. I also don't really care about G4 and G5. Speaking of crazy lore, Allison, I would love to see you talk about Will Vinton Claymation one day, specifically Adventures Of Mark Twain, Claymation Christmas, California Raisins Meet The Raisins/Raisins Sold Out, The Noid commercials, Claymation Comedy Of Horror, and Claymation Easter.

The UK had a lot of it's own comic series for things - we had our own version of the Sonic the Hedgehog comics by Fleetway, which were massively different to the Archie ones and even to the adventure games themselves

My elder sister (just over 1 year older than me) had My Little Ponies and we used to play together a lot, so I know the ponies very well! She had the castle (including Majesty), as well as the grooming parlour set and a ballet/dance school set - the front flipped open and you could stick ponies onto three turntables and make them twirl by rolling a gear at the side. She had a huge number of the ponies, and even I had one - they did lines of "family" ponies, so there was mum, dad, sister and brother, and I think mine was something like Boy Celebrations - although I think they all were sold for pennies when my parents downsized 15 years ago. My sister and I played together with all our toys (and we had a lot of aunts and uncles, and were very lucky to have a lot of toys), so it was a whirlwind of Lego, MLP, transformers, He-Man, Barbie and Sindy dolls (who would go on dates with Action Man and B A Baracus dolls, Thundercats and Key-pers (amazed if anybody else remembers those). It's a nice trip down memory lane, thanks Allison ☺️

The thing is, all of the ponies would have magic in them. It's an intrinsic part of their world's environment and would be a part every living thing. What's more, every sapient being would be able to actively use that magic with practice and effort. Besides, how do you think pegasi flew with such undersized wings? It's not purely physical flight, it's magical. At least partially. Also, w hear ponyfeathers come out of Firefly during Rescue at Midnight Castle for the first time. It was used once or twice during the early seasons of Friendship is Magic too.

I loved this video, can't wait for more mlp comic reviews

I grew up with My Little Pony and it was the "girliest" thing I got into and collected as I was a tomboy and turned down Barbie, much to my mother's confusion as she loved Barbie. We didn't grow up able to purchase whatever we wanted as money was tight, so we learned of a magical place called a Flea Market, were you could get toys children no longer played with for as low as a dollar, even lower than that sometimes. I remember collecting most of my My Little Ponies from flea markets and sometimes they had battle scars like marker markings, cut hair, and missing tails. I did end up purchasing the Paradise Estate, used of course, so if it came with accessories I didn't get them sadly. My cousin being an only child was able to get collection sets from JCPENNEY which featured whole pony families with a stallion, mare, and two foals with one of the foals being the micro sibling.
