The G5 pony franchise doesn't seem to have attracted anything like the adult audience that G4 did. Does anyone know how Hasbro's profits from the toy line have been affected?

First, it needs to be understood that Hasbro is a juggernaut. My Little Pony is a very small part of it. In the past few years, they have moved focus away from MLP to other brands, specifically Dungeons and Dragons, Magic the Gathering, Transformers, Hasbro Gaming, Play-Doh, NERF and Peppa Pig. So they would tell you sales of MLP have decreased, by design.Now in regards to affect on their sales, latest numbers show revenue was down 14% from the previous year from 1.16 billion to 1 billion.

From a fan post on EQD today: "By the looks of the most recent financial results, Hasbro's net revenues, profits and earnings have all been declining, probably due to a record-breaking decline of toy demand. Not only that, the company is currently pending a possible sale of their television and film division, Entertainment One, which possibly might include My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Equestria Girls, Pony Life, and all Generation 5 media. Hasbro has also laid off about 1,000 employees in order to try to prevent the declines from continuing, but I don't think that will be very effective. Because of these results, there's a dangerously high chance that Generation 5 could be the final generation of the My Little Pony franchise, and there will never be a Generation 6."

There will be more. Maybe not soon, but the franchise is too valuable and ingrained to be gone forever. Someone will revitalize it one day.

There's no hope for G5 imo. G6 needs to go 2d again and bring back the mane6 and then people will buy their toys again.

My friend has a daughter who likes them. Maybe their gambit was to eliminate the adult fanbase. If so, mission accomplished, I guess.

To be fair, hasbro sucks at making toys. Be it ponies, where counterfeit ponies look better than the original or nerf guns which are less precise and relyable than off brand guns.
