Generation 4

Generation 4 (shorthand: G4) was the fifth incarnation of the My Little Pony toyline. It began in late 2010 and was distributed until late 2019.

Toys
There are over 50 different characters to collect. The toyline began similarly to previous generations in that there were a wider variety of characters available at the start, however shifted into a more character-driven toyline as time went on, similar to Generation 3. Releases of repeat characters are either almost indistinguishable from one another or resemble Generation 3.5 with different hair colors and extra printing.

Media
There was one show with an interlinked movie, two specials, and a handful of shorts. There was also a spinoff movie franchise which also holds a slew of specials. There are many books that expand upon the show's canon, as well as a comic series that serves as a parallel canon to the show.
