Not to be confused with the Generation 4 incantation of the Mane 6.
Mane 6 (formerly known as Mane 5) is an official term for the 6 main protagonists of Generation 5 media in the years that have followed. First debuted in My Little Pony: A New Generation as 5 main protagonists.
Later, after the events of My Little Pony: Make Your Mark Chapter 4 episode Missing the Mark, the term is now become the Mane 6 for 6 main protagonists of Generation 5 media.
Members[]
- Sunny Starscout
- Hitch Trailblazer
- Izzy Moonbow
- Zipp Storm
- Pipp Petals
- Misty Brightdawn (Added to the team after the end of the events of Make Your Mark Chapter 4)
The term has been acknowledged by Hasbro for the Meet the Mane 5 Collection toy set and on Hasbro's official My Little Pony website for Canada.
Starting around September 2023, after Misty had become a full team member, Hasbro somewhat confusingly began referring to the group as Mane 6.[1]
Fan speculations[]
In 2022, before Misty became the clearcut main candidate to join the team sometime around Make Your Mark Chapter 4, the most common bet among G5 fans to join the team was Sprout (because he was childhood friends of Sunny and Hitch, had a big role in A New Generation, and some merchandise - e.g. a juice lineup[2] - included images or toy of him alongside Sunny and others), though this ultimately did not come to fruition, and is very unlikely to ever happen as of September 2023.
Jazz Hooves, Rufus, and Violette Rainbow have been brought up too, but were considered so very long-odds bets that they were never considered likely new members by pretty much anyone.
