POTD 5/26/2017 Sunbeam

[NightGliderSA]

I have her, but I didn't go out of my way to buy her: she came as part of a large lot of ponies in my first eBay purchase. I do love her colouring though, and would love to get her 'Sunstone' variant one day.

Sunstone Variant?

Italian Sunbeam, but with Moonstone's hair. So apparently known as 'Sunstone'. I am new to the Arena, so I don't know who thought it up, but I have wanted her since I saw one on eBay

That sounds beautiful.

I dug my Sunbeams out and took a picture of my small army.  Plan to add more customs down the road, could use a baby or two 

front row are all customs; on card is Greek, 2nd row US released, French, and Italians (2)

I am really loving your army there. I love the custom seapony so cool!

[Artemesia's Garden]

I have this pony. She is so pretty like a sunny day with a light blue sky. I like to look past the pose. There is always custom ponies if I don't like the pose.

I agree with this but I like the pose more now than I did to begin with.

She is so beautiful in person.

The colours in that photo look a bit off to me, mine is more of a powder blue.

I wonder what people have against her pose! I really like it. She seems so serene and elegant. Makes me wonder how ppl love mimics pose but hate this one xD

agree.  I like her pose (Moondancer's), Gusty's and the shy pose more than any other adult pony pose.  I have described her pose as a wishful or shy pose as I envision her swirling her left front hoof into the ground while looking up into the sky. That's just my take on it of course.  With that being said, I am curious what is it about her pose that people don't like.

Maybe because it looks like she has a fatter bottom? I dont really know? She is what she is and so is Moondancer. I really love the mimic pose too. Though I do may like some poses than others. I totally think to look past the poses. A pony is a pony that I love.

Perhaps her face looks more duck-like than normal. I don't think there's much wrong with her body shape, though.

She wasn't a childhood pony of mine, I ended up purchasing her from EBay when I got back into collecting and so glad I did!

[Taffeta]

As a child I had an irrational dislike of Sunbeam. She wasn't sold here so it wasn't to do with her pose or anything like that. It was entirely because of the way she was in the comics. I just felt like she was an idiot obsessed with throwing parties. As an adult I realise she actually isn't presented that much as an idiot, but she did generally appear in relation to throwing parties, and it was superficial and it annoyed me. I loved Glory and Moondancer and Twilight, who all seemed to have more mystical unicorn qualities about them, but Sunbeam I never clicked with.

I actually am not sure if I do have a regular HK one or not. My sister does, but I am not sure about me. I know I have a regular Italian one, though.
