Unpopular Pony Opinions

[Ponybookworm]

Has there ever even been a McD pony that had both mane and tail hair?

Only the Euro G3 ones, & they're hard plastic & can't be rerooted

Idk if this is an unpopular opinion, but it's one I feel quite strongly about. Much as I love the brushable hair of all the pony gens, I can't abide it in the Petites! I literally will only collect the Petite Ponies with moulded hair. How weird is that? 

I agree brushy hair on the petites is a weird thing...xD. I don't hate it, but it is definitely not the most convenient pony hair to deal with, either in standing up ponies or trying to style it. It's sort of 'what's the point', although I admit it looks pretty on the fancier sets.

I do quite like the mad curls mind you. Hasbro didn't use them enough.

Now we need a BnG or PP named, Mad Curls.

Knowing Hasbro's current naming sense, it will probably be Curly Cutie. >.>

Would love a take on the alt-ego superhero thing-

How about an alt-ego villain?

Curly Cutie by day, MAD CURLS by night!

Like a whole "Who's the amazing secret hero saving the city?" but secret villain destroying it...

Sorry if I've already mentioned this one, but one of my possibly unpopular opinions is that I don't mind FiM having places named after real life places with horsey names - I understand people feeling that it removes the fantasy element, but for whatever reason I never minded.

Euro g2 ones as well. they're very prone to hair rot though. and hard plastic, so can't reroot those either.

Kicks self because there's a spare McD's Silver Swirl on top of my monitor...

I've never actually been a "horse girl" so it doesn't bother me when newer generations are super stylized and not very horse like. That's not to say I didn't like the earlier gens that are more horselike but horseyness has never been important for me to like MLP.

I don't mind that, either...but I have always liked word puns for the most part. I think it's fun!

I might not collect any ponies from the next gen. I like the early gen 4 but not much of the later stuff.

All pony toys felt "stylized" to me -- one way or another.

Short, chunky legs, shortened faces.. that's what separated a horse toy from g1 MLP. If I wanted a horse toy, then I would choose a horse toy.

I'm not a "crazy cat lady" therefore I don't care if fictional cats look like elephants

Seriously now, you don't need to be a horse girl to prefer chubby pony looking dolls to cat- or doglike looking dolls. You don't even have to like real horses at all to be into MLP since they are talking fantasy creatures. After all, a lot of people hate kids but are somehow into kids toys *ahem* lots of childhaters in modern toy and cartoon fandoms *ahem*

It's just some people would rather have one design over the other because it reads more equine and ponies are equines. Simple as that.

That sounds like the popular opinion of this forum :O

Yes.
And I was simply stating that it doesn't take one to be a "horse girl" to have this opinion :O

Why? It's the popular opinion. Seems pushy.

eta -- just saying, Wardah stated that she doesn't feel a connection to horses, and that is a reason she doesn't mind if it's less equine. Really, that should stand without needing to say that people who don't have a connection to horses have the popular opinion of wanting their mlp to read more equine.

The opposite exists too -- I had a pony. So I'll call myself a horse girl (as a kid -- there's no way I want to deal with the maintenance of one, otherwise I'd consider owning one as an adult).  And I'm cool with stylized.

[lovesbabysquirmy]

*shrug*  it's a design... people are allowed to love it, hate, tolerate it...

I mean, Hasbro sort of gave me what I wanted in a new generation of MLP:  the slender G2 fantasy look and the bright and whimsical novelty of G3... but I wasn't expecting the magical twist of weiner dog balloon animal!  LOL 

it's cool... I have plenty of ponies to buy... or to customize...

This seems to be a pretty unpopular-ish opinion here, but... I love the Mane Six... 

I get how they can be a problem from a toyline perspective or (especially) a collectors perspective, but purely as characters, I love them and have a sentimental and nostalgic attachment to them.  They weren't always written how I feel they should have been, which is an opinion in itself, but for the most part I still feel attached to them as characters, and the friendship they have with each other, and always will.
