Let's talk about G3s!

[Leave a Whisper]

Pretty Pop is such a cheerful pony.

Agreed. She's another favorite of mine. In fact, G3 had a lot of beautiful yellow ponies. Lavender Cloud, Merriweather, Pretty Pop, Apple Spice, and October Calendula are some of my favorites from that generation.

I love Lavender Cloud and October Calendula. I also love Alphabittle, Sunshimmer, Butterscotch, Surfstar and Kiwi Tart.

I love Waterfire too...

I love G3's.  I grew up with G1's so those will always be my favorite but G3's are my second favorite.  They're the reason why I got back into MLP collecting.  I remember to this day hearing the commercial for the Cotton Candy Cafe while I was on the computer.  I heard the song and almost had a whiplash turning around so quickly.  It was very reminiscent of G1 times with the tune.  I wanted some of those ponies I saw in the commercial but at the time I was around 18 or 19 in 2003 so I thought I was way too old for MLP.  I became a closet collector later when I bought G3 Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie who had the charms.  It pretty much grew from there. 

G3's were very much like G1's in that they had many different poses and varieties.  I remember seeing them at Toys R Us and they had shelve and shelves of G3's, even covering both sides of an aisle.  I miss those days.  I was born in 1984 and I think I got my first G1's in 1988 or 1989 but I was still young and didn't watch the TV series or movie until later on when I was older.  So, I don't truly remember the G1 days when they were first out because I wasn't born yet.

well, being born in '79, I was already in my 20's when the G3 appeared but since I had G1 as a kid, I was happy to see the G3 come out. G1 will ALWAYS be my first choice but I like G3 and G4 too. It's the G2's I want no part of. I think I haev almost every G3 that was released minus re-releases or variants of the same pony - like the stupid core 7 crap. Although I do like the ones with the words written on them.

I don;t have enough room, so they are all in totes on the back porch.

What can I say... I LOVE THEM!!! Just click my Instagram link in my signature to check it 

I started to collect again 5 years ago because of them (my childhood gen was G2, I have few of them)
Yes, there are few pegs and unis, but for me their design and molds are the prettiest

G3 is a great generation in my opinion; I think people have already mentioned some of the downsides, like the silly names some of them have and the lack of variety (i.e., no boys, few babies, and mostly earth ponies). I think their color schemes and poses in general, though, are really creative, and like someone said, their accessories are really cute. Also, you can stick the ones with magnets onto vertical surfaces. Always entertaining.

I have a goal of collecting all of the G3 unicorns. I received a Whistle Wishes as a random present from my mom when that pony was new in stores and when I had basically stopped collecting any ponies; I thought and have always thought since that she's so beautiful, one of the few G3s I'd actually call objectively beautiful.

I absolutely adore G3, they're the generation I'd say I grew up with, so they are my favorite generation! I'm not really sure why I latched on to MLP like I did, I wasn't ever much of a doll or even fantasy kid, but for some reason when my sister got the cotton candy cafe for her birthday I was automatically in love, I knew I needed a pony of my own! I think I even remember my mom having a conversation with the mom who bought her the gift, I was at a roller skating rink and being nosy when I overheard my mom say something like, "I don't think we have any of those yet..." and she told me I had to wait to see what the new toy was on my sister's birthday because she must not have thought I'd keep the secret
G3 has by far the coolest color schemes in my opinion, I remember being so pumped about the jewel ponies, butterfly island, and the later releases that had crazy gradients and patterns on their legs. I've kept all my ponies from when I was younger and took over the herds of my sister and a couple old neighbors too, so I honestly feel like I have most of the US G3 ponies minus most re-releases and some of the more uncommon ones.

Somewhere I have an old photo of my g3 ponies filling up our metal staircase railing. It looks goofy.

Always fun with fridges but less amusing when trying to pack in the same bag as your laptop. I was going to bring Sandy Island back to London with me to keep Honoluloo company, as she's the only G3 I have in London, but I couldn;t work out how to do it safely because of her magnet

I found Pretty Pop at a carboot sale. She was new to me when I did but i ended up keeping her, she's lovely. I don't know who all the ones you list are, LAW, but I do remember all the jokes and humour when Kiwi Tart came out and the first place she was found was New Zealand. I think it might actually have been Loa who found her xD. I am pretty sure I still have that one.

[Leave a Whisper]

You know, I never really thought of that joke about Kiwi Tart until I met you guys.

As for the others, here ya go Taffeta!

Hmm. I have sunshimmer and I do remember Butterscotch. May still have her too. The babies I am really bad with but wiki says she came in a set with Wysteria so I think I have her. No name on the UK box

Thanks law

Welcome.

I love quite a few of the baby ponies. They're soo cute! Even though I don't have any yet, my favorites are:

Sandy Island
Honolulu
Lavender Locket
Penny Candy
Wave Catcher
Tea Lily
Bella Luna
Keen Bean
Boogie Woogie
Butterdrop

Would have been nice to have more pegasus foals too. I don't care for the wings on Mochanut.

Why oh why didn't they make baby unicorns? That would have been so adorable! What do you guys think baby unicorns would have been like?

It's a hard decision, but I think my favorite G3 is Alphabittle. She's so funny and sweet. Although, Autumn Skye is great, and I also like Lulabelle...But Alphabittle has so much personality!

Autumn Skye is gorgeous!

I had a modest handful of baby ponies, at least 6. Mostly white ones, with a yellow one and a blue one. I still have 3 or 4, with Honolu-loo being my favorite. My sister has the other baby pegasus and she's almost cuter.
