• All About Takaras!: A talk About Japanese Takara Ponies by Takara Collector Maria Cook (Sunday)- Can these strange, two-legged ponies actually be authentic My Little Pony toys? Amazingly, the answer is yes! These are Takara Ponies, or “Mai Ritoru Ponii-Osharena Ponii”, from Japanese company Takara, produced in 1985! As strange as they may seem, they are real, Hasbro-licensed My Little Ponies! Join us on Sunday, July 28th at noon to learn all about these rare My Little Pony oddities from Takara Pony Collector Maria Cook! Find out which Takara Ponies are known to exist and which ones are still only rumors. Learn how to tell a real Takara Pony from a Takara fakie. Explore the history of how this rare Japanese line came to be and why it was so short-lived, all while viewing the artwork, accessories and—of course—the ponies that made this line one of the most unique and sought-after in pony history!
