Unpopular Pony Opinions

If Sunbeam were on a different pose. I'd love her!

I’ve always wondered how Hasbro decided who got babies and who didn’t. Moondancer and Glory got babies but Sunbeam and Twilight the unicorn didn’t have official Hasbro babies.

I feel like it's become 'trendy' to hate on G4, and to be honest it reminds me of the bronies' unreasoning hatred of G3.

I am actually more worried about the opposite - that we're getting into territory where expressing an opinion is being interpreted as hating on something :/

@Ponyfan, I think that one can be explained by a mundane reason. Glory and Moondancer were rereleased in the year the babies came out, so was Firefly...makes business sense to release them all together. Of course, why those ponies were chosen to be rereleased is maybe the real question...?

I actually never thought of that, but it makes sense. But was Blossom and Cotton Candy released again that year? they could have changed tha earth babies to any of the other coming out that year. Baby Posey and baby Toosie maybe   But they seem to have had a soft spot for white or very pale babies that year. I mean, suprise, Glory and Moondancer are all white, Cotton Candy is fairly pale in her colours, and Blossom is pale purple and Blossom, Glory and Moondancer all received much lighter hair then their mommies. Following that trend we shoul have had a baby Gusty with light green hair and a pink stripe :

And yeah, I think its a little boring they choose the two ponies most alike, to rerelease, They could have switched one of them out for Sunbeam or Twillight.
And for the babies, they could hace choosen any of the new unicorns from that year as they did with Surprise. (guess Medley was to dark for that baby set, so they chose another white baby instead : )

Perhaps not in the US. They were in the UK, not that that means anything in terms of Hasbro Inc's overall decisions. But given that they'd been the two characters rereleased in y2 and the ongoing MO status of the Collector Pony sets maybe that's why?

[Ponyfan]

That makes sense. I never thought about the moms and matching babies being sold around the same time but having both available at the same time probably meant more sales to get the moms and matching babies

I really dislike the proportions and colors of the Dolly Mix figures.

I dislike them because of their style.. The faces seem off to me

I wonder if anyone has said this before. It bothers me how many 80s ponies I see signed by Bonnie Zacherle/others every year. I just don't like ittttt I could only let them sign a poster.

I get you. But on the other hand... better signed by Bonnie than signed by a kid or forever ruined by a custom artist who wouldn't use a fakie to practice on first.
I even regret signing my childhood JP dinosaurs with sharpie because even after I scrubbed it all off it really lowered their worth to collectors.

Yeah. I couldn't let a figure be signed.

This!
I mean if you care enough about ponies to know who she is, then why would you do that? It really makes no sense whatsoever

Another unpopular opinion: I don´t particularly care for baby ponies. I seem to care the most for the ones with an adult equivalent, the other ones I can take or leave.

I agree with this 100%.
