Unpopular Pony Opinions

[Leave a Whisper]

My unpopular opinion is that I quite like the Waterfire pose, I thinks it's a pretty nice one. It looks like the pony is sticking its tongue out to be silly or blowing a bubble gum. ^^
I also quite enjoy G3 tinsel as long as I don't see it too often. Problem is, I feel like I have too many tinseled ponies to enjoy this feature anymore. *Non-tinseled ponies are okay too, hasbro ! *
I just got Fancy Free yesterday with a bad case of tail rust. If my de-rusting methods ruins her tinsel, I'm pretty sure I'd be up to de-tisel her completely. But I'm still unsure, I don't like to damage ponies, I'm the first one against de-tinseling. That might hurt so much. ._.

Oh, and speaking of printed-out accessories....This upcoming lineup...

Wellp, spoiler about the new lineup(School of friendship brushables), you've been warned twice.

Look at this nightmare, I can't bear to look at those shoes.

This looks so wrong. Who got this idea and who approved it ? ;-;

So...cheap and...and hideous.

I hope that disliking printed on clothes is never an unpopular opinion. I can understand rubber clothes because kiddies like to play rough sometimes and plastic is more durable and can get easily washed.
But halfway printed on is a joke. Even to kids. Little girls have standards, too.
I remember when I was a kid I would get annoyed when a doll wasn't able to change clothes. It hindered my play if something was stuck in a certain look (in my case mermaids with painted/moulded on tops, heh).

Have to agree. I don't like the plastic or rubber clothes either, though. I keep thinking about when I was a kid. I had the Tennis Fun outfit from new. It was out when I was four. I never wrecked it. Cherries Jubilee wore it a lot. I guess she liked tennis O.o.

The shoes went astray only because Windy needed one of them to stand up and sometimes they'd fall off her. I also had a couple of other ponywear outfits - Champagne and Lace, Scarlet Sensation, My Valentine - and again, didn't wreck them. I *did* need help from parents to put shoes on, and never managed to get the slippers on properly on Champagne and Lace - but I enjoyed the ponywear I had because it was like the ponies playing dress up.

I don't pretend I know where the jewellery went to some of those outfits. Maybe small fiddly jewellery wasn't the best plan. But fabric clothing in simple terms would still be lovely for ponies now. Or if they are too small to wear it, then let's save clothing for the Fashion Styles and make a big thing of it for them...

So I think it's sad that they no longer get the options of fabric ponywear.

I have to concur about things painted over eyes. I have the FS Spitfire. She has goggles, but they're removeable. I don't even know where I put them. They're horrible, and she's so pretty without them O.o. But at least I had that choice. If kids want to play wonderbolts with her then fine - but choice is important.

I mean, I had Jazzie as a kid and her glasses and cd player came off, but her boots didn't, and that always annoyed me just a bit.

On the bright side one of the cmc finally has a toy with her symbol.

I thought I saw one before at Targe, I don't remember which one.

I hate printed on clothes with a passion, it looks super cheap, hate it.

This!! I wouldn't mind so much if they were properly painted on all the way round. But a pony wearing half a printed-on shoe? No, no thanks. I've seen Poundland toys that are better quality!

I've seen g4 ponies in poundland...so...

UGH I hate painted-on clothes, too. Plastic I can deal with (I mean, I prefer fabric if there have to be any clothes at all, but y'know), but painted on.. ugh. Especially HALF painted clothes. I mean, if they *must* do painted clothes, at least do it properly instead of halfway, you know?

I also don't like the wedding ponies. Bridal Beauty & Pony Bride make me think of Miss Havisham from Great Expectations. The bridal ponies' identities are locked into being brides to the point where they've assumed permanent names associated with a one-time event, just as Miss Havisham wore her wedding gown every day as permanent attire despite it only being for a one-time event.

MLP: The Movie related stuff, I'll put it under the spoiler tag just in case

While I agree with the writer's logic, a terrible part of me kinda wishes they did go ahead and make the villain Celestia and Luna's brother ... just to watch the hardcore G4 canon zealots freak out

I don't care for some of the sought after g4s. Feather May, Dewdrop Dazzle, Diamond Rose and Snow Catcher.

I don´t like flutters, BBEs (that faces... ) or flocked ponys. And I´m not a fan of putting mechanisms inside ponys (like happy tails, B&G, Secret Surprise...)

I love that Tempest has a muzzle like she ought to, but I hate that she has no horn.

Ooh. This makes me think of one. I don't really like batteries in ponies. I mean they're great, the gimmicks are fun, but then you have to remember to remove them before the ponies go in storage.

I am not sure how it is my talking ponies all still talk, but I do worry about them regularly. But if I take out their batteries, it will be impossible for me to tell the difference between Talk a Lot and Charlatan...:/

Plus shipping them overseas is a pain. Especially MIB items. Batteries are not allowed in transit.
