Well yeah. Lauren based this show on old fanfictions of the 80s TV series that she wrote as a child. She loved My Little Pony growing up (both the toys and the TV show, not sure about the comics, but I think she knew about them) and made up her own stories for them, and some of them became episodes for this show. She wanted to use her "Top Six" ponies, but there was a very stupid copyright thing and she wasn't allowed. Ultimately it would have still been the same show, but there would have been some differences - like my favorite episode would have been done differently as some of the cutie marks are different, and Posey (who became Fluttershy) wouldn't be in the "right" place.

G1 toys ugly? That was when Hasbro actually cared about what they were selling us, and made the effort!
