I like like it :) I got a Bubbles in a bait lot a few years ago, but I think she just had a hair trim or something. She's part of my collection now.

I absolutely love the mold but I might be a little biased since I helped design the HQG1C Kitty Love pony.  I love Fair Feathers too! She's just cute and sweet in her own way. She looks great with a hat in the new 35th Pretty Parlor:) I never had Bubbles or Seashell as a kid so I was excited to add them as an adult.

I love it. Bubbles and Sea Shell were high on my list to hunt down as an adult.

I love the sitting pose.  It would have been lovely to have just a few more ponies in varied colours in that pose released over the G1 run.  But in a way it makes Bubbles and Seashell even more special  :)

Fair Feathers is beyond awesome.

The pose was originally supposed to be with the back legs splayed out to the sides when Kirk did his sculpt.  All levels at Hasbro loved it until it came to moulding.  The legs out to the sides where just too difficult to pull from the molds so those in charge of that stage of production had to say no.  So Kirk reworked her into the legs underneath her hindquarters pose that we know today.

I do like the pose, and had both Bubbles and Seashell as a child. No, the ponywear didn't fit them so well, but that didn't matter to me as playing with my ponies was not all about the ponywear anyway.

That’s really interesting. :) I wonder if the sculpt still exsists with the original legs like Kirk wanted.

I only had Hearts and Candy/My Valentine Ponywear and no Bubbles or Seashell as a child. Cotton Candy usually wore Hearts and Candy/My Valentine.  I only knew Bubbles from Recuse at Midnight Castle but I’m not sure I knew her name was Bubbles back then. :lol: I do think Fair Feathers and Kitty Love (is that the other sitting pony?) are cute too.

And Bubbles was perfect for a pic I took a while back when my mischievous baby sea ponies were giving her a "makeover" :lol:

I absolutely love it! It's so cute, I wish they'd released more ponies in this pose.

Lazy ponies.


Seriously, get up.


 :lol:

But I don't really have an issue other than the weird deal with only having a couple ponies in that pose. I think it would have been better had Hasbro made more sitting ponies in a few more sets. As is, they just seem so minimal that they look weird in terms of a set. But do I dislike them? No not really, bubbles and Seashell are a couple of my favorite ponies, in terms of name, coloring and style. I think it would have been cool had hasbro made a standing version of each.

I liked them, and wish they had done just a couple of more ponies in that pose. I always imagined them as beach bums, just sitting at the ocean watching the tide roll in and out.

It appears I'm in the minority here but....

I was a kid when Bubbles and Seashell came out and they weren't as fun to play with as the other ponies. They were my 'audience' for the fashion shows at the Pretty Parlor since they couldn't wear the clothes or strut down the runway. They were the 'judges' for the agility competitions at the Show Stable.

As an adult, I still don't care for that pose as it reminds me of that thing dogs do when they drag their bottoms along the floor.

I do still have Bubbles and Seashell and I like their colors but wish they would have been released in a different pose.
