I think Sprinkles would have been much prettier in blue like the prototype we saw in the commercial.

That would have been very lovey, at least if her symbol was a different color.

I would have loved a deep blue Sprinkles. I wonder why they decided to change her color last minute, as she was already blue on the box and other merchandise like magnets and school supplies.

I too prefer Cascade - I always thought that must have been uncommon, because when I got about 8th in the Arena Derby and she was my no. 1 choice for a prize, I never in a million years thought it would be her landing in my letterbox, but it was! I couldn't believe that no-one else of those 8 people had chosen Cascade!

I actually like the term "cutie mark." I still use "symbol" when talking about G1 and G2.

I also really love the new seaponies and hippogriffs. I've been wanting G4 to have more variety in species and getting two new species was a big surprise. I just wish the hippogriffs had cutie marks. They are half-pony, aren't they?

I wish the new not-ponies had symbols, too! The sea ponies being blank doesn't bother me, since G1 sea ponies didn't have symbols either (yeah, I know about the ones w/ necklaces, but still), but I really don't understand why the Breezies/hippogriffs don't have symbols.. another problem I have with the "cutie mark" ~lore~ - it excludes non-ponies! :P They just don't look like they're part of the MLP line without symbols, to me.. If that makes sense.

(what I find really weird is that despite all this, Zecora has a symbol, even though she's a zebra and it seems that in G4, only ponies have symbols.. :s weird. I mean, I LIKE that she has one, but it just seems like an odd exception. I guess perhaps they hadn't figured out the 'rules' at the time, or something? Still weird, though.)

It would have been a nice nod to the Pony Friends and Pretty Pals

I know it's listed as a cutie mark in the wiki, but has anyone actually officially stated that this is what Zecora's symbol is?  I've always kind of viewed it as something else.  I don't know what, but I always thought it was meant to be something else entirely.
I will confess to being a brony, but I assure you that the things you may not like about them do not apply to me, I mostly keep the fandom name due to nostaligia, but I do genuinely love MLP as a whole, not just FIM, and not just the popularity of FIM - I genuinely love the show (and all the others)

I always figured it just was her "stripe pattern" because zebras each have their own pattern of stripes, kind of like fingerprints.

It's a swirling sun with triangles.  :blink: Maybe its tribal paint or tattoo?

My unpopular opinion is that I don't think its automatically racially insensitive, for certain animals to be from certain areas in the world. Because you know, its not like zebras occur naturally in New York, or buffalo roam the streets of London.

I'm crazy about the G4 sea ponies and hippogriffs too.  I love them, but I also wish they had symbols.  I can see how it would be hard to give sea ponies symbols given their body shape, but the hippogriffs at least should have symbols.

- I don't like Sprinkles at ALL, she always looked like a faded Firefly to me.
- also I hate the Firefly pose.
- most of the G3 ponies after the head-turn change look awful. I've passed on ponies whose design I loved but she looked too much like a camel (RIP Daffidazey).
- G3 Chocolate Chipper seems beloved (at least on tumblr?) but I hate her! she's so generic pink-and-purple with the design being an afterthought slapped on there. I wish she had some yellows, creams, dark reds or navys, maybe brown??? worked into her design, ughh.
- if there's a nirvana pony I want, I would never be happy with a custom of her.
- I can't watch the G1 cartoon as an adult, it just has zero artistic merit and even nostalgia isn't enough to make it enjoyable for me. I think "Rescue at Midnight Castle" is pretty enjoyable for a children's 80s cartoon, it's a good sick day movie.
- don't like the G4 toy line! MLP has always been dozens and dozens of unique pony "characters" to collect, and releasing the same characters over and over isn't why I like collecting MLP. it also feels cheaply-made (that hair!).
- I just loathe FiM Pinkie Pie.

aaah that felt good to get out.

I like Sprinkles because she was a childhood pony, but she is very pale.  I don't like the mail order version at all, it definitely looks like a faded Firefly.

I agree G3 ponies didn't look as good after they could turn their heads.

I hate that about the G4 line as well, that they repeat the same characters over and over.  Although that seems to be a pretty popular opinion.  Oh well, at least it gives my wallet a break and saves more money for G1 ponies.  I also hate how they are not as good quality as older generations.

I also hate Pinkie Pie.  :P


Oh, also, I don't like the term "pony cancer" mostly because it's just inaccurate, ponies don't get cancer, they're plastic.  But they do age, so I always use the term age spots.  But now that I know that people find it insensitive I will be doubly sure not to use it!

This is a fun thread.   ^.^  I love that blue Sprinkles and have long hoped somehow that prototype turns up someday!  I also enjoyed the G4 sea ponies and hippogriffs in the movie.   

My unpopular opinion is I really like Ringlet in the Rainbow Curl set, and feel she is overlooked.  She is a childhood pony and as a kid I always imagined she was super special because her symbol is near her shoulder and her wings are painted different shades of pastels.  Because of her being the only pony like this, I thought she was/should be sought after and fetch prices like Mimic, but turns out that is not the case at all!
