Who was your very first Flutter Pony?

[Taffeta]

Morning Glories are a beautiful flower. I love those rich shades of deep purple and blue. Could you imagine her with dark purple hair?

You have to wonder the logic behind Hasbro's colour coordination department.

"We have a mint green pony with neon yellow hair. What should we call her?"
"Morning Glory."

It's almost as bad as "Lets name this salmon paste coloured pony Bluebell and this yellow and shrimp paste coloured pony Snowdrop".

I feel they have problems with flowers >.>

....Is it supper time over there Taf? Hungry for pea soup and fish paste?


 

Well, if you're offering...? I wouldn't like to be rude...

Has anyone got prawn stir-fry? I’m hungry for that

Queen Rosedust, literally 3 days ago.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Forget Me Not! I found her at a lot at my local Goodwill, which is the second G1 lot I ever found. I almost didn't buy her because she didn't have her wings, but I got her in the end My girl's hair just won't style, though. Whatever I try to do to curl her hair will work with other ponies, just not her... And her wing tabs have actually been cut off, so I don't think I can give her replacement wings.

Eek! Poor girl... Can you share a pic? I might be able to suggest some ideas for reconstructing

My first was Rosedust. I saw the movie and "The End Of Flutter Valley" in fall 2011, and Rosedust became my favorite pony. I sought her out on eBay, getting a cheap one with no wings and faded hair. I fashioned simple replacement wings for her from clear acetate. The first ones I tried were wonky-shaped and had green and red markings done with marker. The next ones were unmarked and closer to the show shape, and were my standard Flutter wings for years. I meant to adorn them all with glitter, but only ever got around to it with Rosedust's. I think I repinked her hair not too long after doing that set. Last year or the year before (I think) I switched to doing them from textured water bottles, to kinda-sorta approximate the texturing of the original wings.
I've also accessorized her with a red feather as per the cartoon. I've had to replace it a couple times.

As a kid I had two Lily:) no clue if the wings broke or my mom put them up so I wouldn’t break them and in turn lost them...she did hide gifts and forget them very often when I was a kid..hahaha

I remember Lily being a darker purple like a lavender flower. I find her a more red purple...not seen her the color I remember.

I agree Morning Glory with purple would be amazing. Lily could totally rock the morning glory hair

In a way, it makes sense that the body colors don't match the flowers; they wouldn't want the symbols to blend into the body.

I distinctively remember getting Honeysuckle for Christmas, but I am fairly sure I got all 3 of my childhood flutters the same Christmas. I think they maybe were given to me by different relatives (not sure) because I remember having all three at the same time but I don't remember a time where I  had just one without the others if that makes any sense. I have Rosedust, Honeysuckle and Lily from when I was a child and I just bought a Morning Glory a couple weeks ago.

[Shy Violet]

Lily was my first flutter pony and she was a childhood pony. My 2nd one was Peach Blossom.

[Strawberry Swirl]

Got two at the same time; Lily and Tropical Breeze. Two Lilies, actually.

During a Saver’s trip I found a WHOLE BUNCH of G1 ponies incl. SS Satin n’ Lace, Chief, Sugar Apple, Streaky, Sunspot...probably forgetting many more. They were a part of that.

[Shaiyeh]

Mine was Morning Glory

That doesn't stop them from picking a hair colour that matches though...? Morning Glory could've had dark blue or purple hair.

[Shaz]

Mine was Lily! No story behind it, I just saw her on eBay for a good price and thought she was cute

Asked my girlfriend who her first flutters were, and she says she got Rosedust, Morning Glory, Honeysuckle, Forget-Me-Not and Wind Drifter in a bundle from a car-boot sale when she was about five. She still has them! Wind Drifter (who she called Windmill) was her favourite of them, followed by Rosedust (who was the older sister of her all-time favourite pony Little Flitter).

All our flutters came to us wingless; we still have yet to see original flutter pony wings in real life!

A fair point. They seem to have been favoring hair of a similar color to the body with most of the first Flutter Pony set, for whatever reason. Rosedust and Forget-Me-Not are the exceptions.

Mine was rosedust... I found her in a charity shop for 50p when I was about twelve. She had awfully fuzzy hair and her wing tabs had been cut off, but I played with her nonetheless.

I do love flutters, I wish I could give mine some wings but there's nowhere to put them

I have an idea for trying to reconstruct the wing tabs, or at least functionally replace them. But I'd need to see a pic of the exact damage to be sure.
