* NoExportForYou: The biggest case of this is in Japan. Well, it was semi-averted in both G1 and G3 (toys only). To put it simply:
** The G1 Toys by Takara didn't sell as well in Japan as in the West, and in a WhatCouldHaveBeen moment, the baby versions were intended to be released there but were cancelled.
** G3 suffered from this too. Takara Tomy re-licensed the series in 2006 and released the toys up to the G3.5 line. It didn't sell well either and Takara Tomy decided to pull the plug on the license in 2012 and shut down the official Japanese website for good. The company had enough with low sales and switched their focus to WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime.
** The main reason however on ending the franchise in Japan is because it can't keep up with three competing girl-oriented franchises: ''Anime/PrettyCure'', ''Franchise/HelloKitty'' and surprisingly, ''Toys/{{Jewelpet}}'' (from Takara Tomy's competitor SegaToys). Even if ''Friendship is Magic'' has a decent storyline, characterization and toys that had potential in the Japanese Market, Hasbro and Takara Tomy decided not to release ''My Little Pony'' in Japan anymore due to three competing franchises that could crush them.
*** Not to mention that the fanbase of these three in Japan is as solid as iron compared to ''My Little Pony'' overall.
*** This is now averted -- as of January 23 2013, Bushiroad is finally bringing ''Friendship Is Magic'' in [[http://www.mylittleponyjapan.com/ Japan]] after a looong 3-year wait. The best thing about this: the cast from Bushiroad's ''Anime/TanteiOperaMilkyHolmes'' franchise are coming back to voice the main characters! Also counts an example of MarthDebutedInSmashBros since this season was the first in the franchise to be dubbed in Japanese.
*** Strangely, "My Little Pony Tales" suffered from this ''only'' when it comes to the toys. Though a US-produced series, the toys were produced everywhere ''but'' the US, it seems.
** On the subject of toys, any ''MLP'' toy packaged inside Kinder Surprise Eggs will never be sold in the United States due to a law banning non-edible objects inside food.
** None of the first three generations ever officially made their way into South Korea, just like most Japanese cultural products until between 1998 and 2004. In fact, it wasn't until Generation Four when any My Little Pony toys at all were released there.
*** There was a dub for the G1 TV series, but it was treated like a Japanese anime, due to it containing animation from Toei.
