To sell toys: Difference between revisions

To enjoy the ''My Little Pony'' stories, it is important to remember that they exist to '''sell toys''' and other merchandise. [[Hasbro]] is primarily a toy company, so of course they're most interested in selling toys and other products to fans of the show. Though it's sometimes easy to forget, since ''My Little Pony'' doesn't tend to be ''as'' blatant about as ''G.I. Joe'' or ''Transformers'' but the cartoons, films and to a lesser extent, comics exists mainly to market toys of various characters to the audience.

 

 

There may be exceptions to this rule, however, as early IDW MLP comics featured toy characters who never appeared in fiction before, such as [[Tealove]] and [[Sweetcream Scoops]], however it is unclear if these were simply nods and references to those characters, or if they were there to advertise toys.
