POTD 1/30/2018 Streaky

[BlackCurtains]

I got her in a bait lot and restored her for my collection

I've never had a problem with her name? I think of it as colors streaking across the sky, like during a sunset. Which is probably what it means anyway.

I have her, and the rest of this set ^^ It's actually one of my favourite sets! I love the pastel rainbow theme

It's all personal opinion, of course, but it's the complete disconnect between the name and the pony that I bother about. I mean, even if I don't like other US names, I understand most of them - but this set I never have really.

Edit: Going to take this naming thing to a separate thread...

I have this girl. Shes very cute. I love her rainbow hair. rainbows are big thing with me and so are hearts.

[LadyMoondancer]

She's pretty, but I'm not into that kind of curl so I sold her.

She is the only one whose UK name I can remember, thanks to her being the star of the most poorly illustrated G1 book I've ever seen, 'Rainbow Rider's Birthday Adventure'. Hilarious, 10/10, would recommend.

“Far away on Rainbow Mountain, Rainbow Rider licked her lips. She was watching the Tropical Ponies through her telescope.”

Whoa, Rainbow Rider.  Let's keep it PG here.

Want. She's actually the only one I like in that set.

[NightGliderSA]

I really want her: she is so beautiful and I love the set although I only own one so far. And I must say that I am with Taffeta on this one. Poor girl, the name just doesn't do her justice.

I think I have that book somewhere but I've never read it. Seems like I missed out o.O.
Now suddenly both her names seem inappropriate...

[Safflower]

Now that people point out her name, I realize it is not the best choice for a pony! I always imagined it as the chisel tip on a Copic marker running out and squeaking and streaking all over the page. I watch too many art you tubers, lol... When markers run out they kinda streak over the page. I doubt that was what Hasbro was thinking though!

[zzzova]

So pretty! <3 Totally want her!

Streaky is one of my favourites.  The entire Rainbow Curl Ponies set are my all-time favourite G! series.  Their beautiful pastel colouring, the gentle curls, their pretty symbols... too gorgeous!
