I have never been a huge fan of the Littlest Pet Shop toys from Hasbro when I was a child as I was more into the Pixel Chix toy line from Mattel [18], but I will always appreciate it for bringing a huge online community of content creators together [5] [6] [30] [32] [35] [46] [57]. The legacy of the shop for adorable little pets has won hearts for almost three decades. Along with how there appears to be a whole new interpretation of My Little Pony after the finale of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic that could be qualified as “Generation 4.5” or the real fifth generation of the franchise in 2020 [2], what if a whole new decade of Hasbro ought to also bring us a new interpretation of Littlest Pet Shop? Similar to how we looked through the history of the Bratz franchise from MEGA Entertainment and discussed how each era’s best qualities could be featured for a new line of Bratz dolls back in Summer 2018 [60], we shall look each the history of Littlest Pet Shop can figure out what a new era of the franchise could feature for a high chance of it being a success in the future.

It all began in 1992 when the intellectual property was created by Kenner [25] [50]. Remember kitties that did kitty things and a chimp who drank and…you know what? The very little cartoon based on the toy line that consisted of a pack of miniature animals as main characters and those mildly cheesy ‘90s cartoons vibes aired from 1995 to 1996 [26] [51] [52] [54] [61], as well as a toy line based on it that was around to promote it. Apart from the cartoonish appearance of the animals of the 1995 cartoon, the designs of the main toys were very different back in the 1990s, looking more realistic. The Zoo pets and the dogs based on the film “Beethoven’s 2nd” were a prime example of how the vintage pets consisted of more realism with lifelike features [50]. The next generation of Littlest Pet Shop ought to mostly provide realistic and convincing colour palettes for our fellow 90’s kids who miss the Kenner pets. Additionally, since the main characters from the 1995 cartoon had their own promotional toy line [50], there could also be more surreal and colorful choices of colours for some pets to make the next generation more imaginative at times.
- Hearts for the “friendliest” pets [50]
- Diamonds for the “fanciest” pets [50]
- Snowflakes for the “chilliest” pets [50]
- Stars for the “sassiest” pets [50]
Furthermore, the second generation was also the reason for how passionate the LPSTube community is for providing making LPS-related videos due to how it stayed true to what made the first generation sell excellently. I sincerely declare that the second generation would my personal favourite because the way different symbols in the pets’ eyes represent their personalities and interested is rather creative. Additionally, I can see that eventually having shallow holes instead of a magnet for placing pets onto playsets would be safer for younger children to play with them. The seventh generation of Littlest Pet Shop can bring both of those features back for the sake of creative symbolism and further ensuring safety.
- Bev Gilturtle as she had her own show “Late Night Bev” [15]
- Zoe Trent, the singing spaniel who sounded quite like Princess Celestia from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic [13] [37]
- Sunil Nevla since he is a mongoose, a rarer pet [13]
- Chloe from the first Littlest Pet Shop cartoon as she was able to show that she was originally from the ancient Egyptian times [54]
- Any of Blythe’s pets from the webisodes from 2011 [22] [23] [24]
- As previously mentioned, Blythe Baxter as the pets’ caretaker
It would make sense if Littlest Pet Shop redesigns some of the animal characters from any of the television series and webisodes based on previous generations since the same thing has happened to some of the ponies who appeared in any of the animated films and television series based on My Little Pony [37] [45]. Showing the traits of the previously established characters in a brand new cartoon based on a new generation of Littlest Pet Shop may interest new consumers.

- A huge variety of different species
- A cast of familiar characters, possibly in new designs [53] [58]
- Fairly detailed moulds can make each specie look highly convincing
- Bobbling heads for LPSTubers to make them “communicate” [57]
- Mostly paint jobs that blend some realism into their cartoonish anatomy
- Some more colourful and surreal paint jobs for creativity
- A few small circular holes for adding fashion accessories [32] [47]
- Symbols in eyes that depends on a pet’s interests and traits [50]
A whole new decade means brand new things, right? It is quite exciting that there will be two brand new Monster High Skullector dolls from Mattel that will be released in 2020 after the dissatisfaction of Monster High’s second generation [8] [19]. After for possibly another revamp of Littlest Pet Shop, it ought to make all sides of the fandom bark, meow and chirp in glee by providing the most acclaimed qualities of the previous generations [20]. I simply cannot refer my blog as “The Simpsons of today’s blogging” [1], but I like to make my own predictions and suggestions for upcoming establishments within intellectual properties.
