  I am flattered that you enjoyed my various arrangements of G3's songs - I have liked those projects very much. There is some very fine music in G3, and it is one of the main things that got me into composing. I actually got permission from Mark Watters, the main composer for G3, to arrange his music. Thank you for sharing my arrangements.

  This unlocked a childhood memory. When I was a kid we had a bunch of the toys with the magnet hooves. I remember we’d make them stick to the metal bolts on my bedroom ceiling fan and take bets on which one would stay on longest when the fan started turning. Probably dangerous now that I think about it but very entertaining

  I honestly wish G3 lasted longer or was still being made today. G4 is good, but G3 is like comfort food.

  As a G3 fan who grew up with this am I super glad to see this and discover stuff that's more fandom related than only doll collection related! Now I want to go find my old toys again, the G3 toys are so so so well made and can withstand so many things it's amazing how long my G3 dolls still have their original scents even after a decade

  The thing about G3 is that it was all about the toys. Unlike G1 or G4 it didn't have a tv show or even that many specials, but there were a lot of toys and they're some of the most high quality MLP toys made. G4 beats G3 as a media franchise, but the G3 toys are miles above G4 in terms of quality and collectability

  (Unpopular) Opinion: G3's style of drawing ponies is a bit more interesting than G4.

  Another popular franchise licensed under Hasbro, Littlest Pet Shop (or LPS) for short, had the exact same toy design scheme as the Gen 3 ponies did, specifically the magnets in the right front paw/hoof. <br>For similar reasons, Hasbro stopped producing the Pet Shop models with the magnets in them around the time the serial numbers all got to the 1000s, which is when they made the switch from magnets to holes and pegs for activation playsets rather than just magnets. MLP and LPS to me are like sibling series, even if they&apos;re not related. They both have that specific charm to them

  fun fact: many people think starsong was never in g4, but that’s not completely true. she was featured in a g4 comic, i believe it was fairly recent. her g3 cutie mark was on her bag so it was definitely her.

  Honestly, I hear a lot of people shipping Minty and Pinkie, but no one ever seems to mention Starbright and Heart Flight (seen in Two for the Skies) as being a couple, but I personally feel there&apos;s a lot of signs that imply that they&apos;re a couple. In the beginning, it mentions how the two ponies are &quot;closer than two friends had ever been before&quot;, they&apos;re always seen doing things together, and they even live in the same house (even going as far as to sleep in the same bed). I could be wrong, but it really just seems like the two ponies are a couple. Of course, that&apos;s just a personal theory of mine, and it&apos;s never mentioned explicitly that they&apos;re dating.

  I wish I still had my G3 toys. They were so glittery and had a distinct smell I can never forget. I dont even remember which ones I had, I just remember their hair always getting knotted lmaoooooo
