Make no mistake: Hasbro, the company that owns the rights to My Little Pony had nothing to do with the Sexy Inflatable Girl Pony." It is a bootleg product made in China by Hongyi Toy Manufacturing.
The company sells the sexed-up dolls for $599 apiece, but will sell them for as little as $99 each for bulk orders.

But what most interested me was the proportion of adult males outnumbering adult women.
someways I understand, but in other ways I do not. There is a lack of magic in the world, but as an adult I would rather not have magic as much as truth, but these people want magic. Ito me that is a dependence kind of thing, I would rather control my own world.
eta: corrected name of fans to Bronies. and a bit more explanation.

It's smart, funny, well-written, beautifully animated and just snarky enough. And many of the jokes are deliberately designed to sail miles over the heads of the little ones. Recognize these three characters?
That gag, from the first season, wasn't put in for the kiddos.

(33,688 posts)I can say with a high degree of confidence and accuracy that the community generally finds things like this laughably stupid and utterly not reflective of the overwhelming majority of bronies. I know I do. What did poor Rainbow Dash ever do to deserve this???
