What will be true of the purported "total brand reinvention" of My Little Pony?

Clarifications:

• Unless otherwise specified, options are conditional on a "reinvention" actually happening. This is going to be subjective but I will define this as a significant shift in the characters or type of merchandise/media being released.

• Things must occur/be released before the question closing time for a YES resolution.

• "Animated media" refers to narrative works such as movies, TV shows, or digital video, other than simple promotional content and not including video games.

Please feel free to suggest additional items.

I may provide liquidity subsidies but will not otherwise trade in this question.

• Update 2025-06-12 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): For at least one option in this market:

  • A prior-generation character does not need to be one that appeared in animated media to qualify.

• Update 2026-10-23 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): For the option regarding new characters sharing names with prior generations:

  • The main characters of Forever Friendship do not count toward a YES resolution, as they are considered the same characters as those in Friendship is Magic, not new characters that happen to have the same name.
