Unpopular Pony Opinions

[Taffeta]

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.

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

I have to admit this makes me cringe as well. My rule for all ponies - is "do no harm". I understand wanting autographs, but ink on ponies is just...not...great.

Add me to the list that doesn’t like seeing large signatures scribbled on ponies.  I heard that Sharpie (magic marker) ink detoriates quickly on pony plastic anyway and those fancy signatures become smudged before long. I just can’t see why someone would want a signature on an actual pony.

I don't understand autographed ponies, either. I mean.. I guess I get the sentiment behind it, but won't it fade/run eventually *anyway*? Signing a figure like that just feels weird to me.

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 :/

I agree with this 100%.

I love getting compared to people who do actual online harassing campaigns just because I'm fed up with G4. And I actually love the new Cutie Mark Crew and still watch the show

This is a bit off topic, but I guess I just don't get autographs at all. Its some famous person's signature on a piece of paper.

I was at a con where G1 Melody's VA was (as well as G3 Cotton Candy and someone in G4) and I thought about how cool it would be to have my Melody signed.... if it wouldn't bother me to have ink in her. Meanwhile, I was kickin myself for not bringing my 1990s Star Trek Q figure to be signed by De Lancie.

I've enjoyed reading this thread so much I have to add something!

Welllll, I don't like boy ponies. Big Brothers, Mountain Boys, they do nothing for me. Just have no interest at all in collecting them- I've had some over the years and always sold them in the end. I only have the family daddies at the moment (they were childhood ponies) but that's it, I don't need to have them.

Which I guess is odd but good news for the rest of you who love them

Same! I think the pose is cute, but I just can't get into the actual sets. Probably because I HC some of them as boys anyway.

I'm also not a big fan of boy ponies. I had Quarterback in my childhood ponies and don't remember playing with him as much as my other ponies. Although I do think that if the US had Mountain Boys that my opinion might change. I like the Mountain Boys designs better than the Big Brothers but I don't actively seek them out. I have only 3 boy ponies, my childhood Quarterback, Ice Crystal and a custom boy of my ponysona Marius.


Here's another unpopular opinion. FIM has always been hit or miss for me so instead of buying the Season sets on DVD I usually buy the DVDs that only have a few episodes on them. I'd rather have a few episodes that I know I like and am more likely to rewatch than buy DVD sets that I watch most of the episodes anyway.

Me too, I didn't need boys because the girls coped perfectly on their own and some of them I regarded as boys (c'mon, AppleJACK).

I did (and do) love the comics so from that perspective I like the Mountain Boys a lot better than the Big Brothers because they were often in those stories and I enjoyed some of their personalities.

The original unicorns looked like bee sting victims with their hunchbacks and bulgy arses.

Oooh and I'm always minorly squicked out by eBay sellers who oil their ponies' bodies and hair up all shiny. Why is that a thing? Lube job pony just is not attractive.

I saw a listing for a shiny pony who's body had been conditioned with vinyl conditioner. (they said the shine would go away..?) Idk. Sometimes plasticizer leakage can make a pony shiny too.

I do like shiny, silky hair though

Eww who does that? Makes me wonder if they're trying to get rid of leaking ponies?

I love Brazil Bowtie more then Ladybird.

I don't like Ladybird. Which is superbly ironic since it's my fault she got originally nicknamed Ladybird

[Leave a Whisper]

I like Ladybird, just not quite as much as Seashell, Brazil Bowtie and Bubbles. One of these days I would like to see Hasbro make a ladybug pony in red and black. I have no idea why they shy away from those 2 colors.

What's her name in Greek? Is it just the Greek word for ladybug?
