Isn't there a Pegasus version of Baby Ribbs in...I think Venezuala?

Edited:  Whoops! It was Argentina.

Ahh yeah! I had no idea he existed until this morning while I was looking through the Nirvana pages on My Little Wiki to see if I missed any boys! I love this version <3

I agree.  I was disappointed in the Big Brother Ponies because I actually wanted a girl version.  I thought of them more as a different "breed" like sea ponies. 

I don't and didn't feel particularly bad that there were few boys.  GI Joe, Transformers, comics and most action shows at the earliest time basically only had token females.  So it was nice that there was something where girls also rescued and defended others. 

Same! You know, when I got my first G1s from a yard sale, I actually thought Steamer was a female and was just supposed to be a Clydesdale or some other draft horse until I realized that they were the Big Brother mold. The Gingerbread mold (which is the mold they made the daddies from the Family Friends set on) is one of my faves because it's so stocky. Part of the reason for liking the stockiness was that a lot of the female horses I've ridden in the past have been either draft mixes or stock horses, and I have fond memories of them <3 My mom's mare, who I now ride since my mom's back won't allow her to, is a big ol' stocky girl with huge hooves. I think having a couple female ponies on the Big Brother mold would have been neat!

Oh, me neither! I liked the ones they did make, and I enjoy trying to collect them all, but I love all the female ponies too.

I don't like sexual dimorphism between boy and girl ponies either.  I know it's a fantasy world etc, but I still think it's a pretty silly idea.

Some of the Italian ponies are boys, but I can't remember which . . . I think either Posey or Trickles is a boy.  I have a little Italian coloring book where one of them is talking to the baby version of themself (yeah, they would just put in Baby Parasol, Baby Posey, tons of babies who never existed) and the baby was calling the adult "Uncle".  (In Italy the baby versions are the nieces / nephews of the adults, not the babies. At least in the comics.)

Aw! Uncle! That's too cute. I'll have to do some more research on those two then! Thank you!

Gusty was a boy wasn't she? And Bow Tie's name was Timmy and and Bubbles was Ben. :P


G4 faces don't look so bad on a 2D stylized cartoon but as a toy it looks terrible, and when you look at a mare and a stallion right next to each other it becomes really apparent.

It doesn't bother me so much in G1 since it's so minor but G4s have completely different faces, and stallions are way taller/bigger (maybe even twice as big? But I'm not good at math). The only non-princesses I can recall that don't have the typical mare nose are Sassy Saddles, Fleur de Lis, and Saffron Marsala, the rest them are brachycephalic...

Bronies tried to defend it like "what does the gender of the pony matter?" yeah, do tell, why DOES it matter? How is Applejack one of the strongest ponies in Equestria when she's identical to all the other dinky little mares?  Why can't she be a draft horse-type like Big Mac? :P

"You can't tell who's the boy and who's the girl if there's no size/face difference" you can add eyelashes to the girls and not give any to the boys. You can even listen to their voice. Or pay attention to the pronouns the other characters call them. :rolleyes: The kirins don't have any major differences between genders nor do the changelings. Filly Fantasia's ponies look like they have the same face shape too.

I'd like G5 to go back to minimal differences and nice long hair would be nice. :/

G3.5 has some background ponies that were boys, who sadly never would've had a chance to release of course because everything was all about the Core7 (sounds familiar, hmm?). No differences here except the haircuts and lack of eyelashes. That one is even pink! :)

I never thought too deeply (ie. Never at all) about boy ponies looking different than girl ponies. In a world of unicorns, pegasus, wingers, flutters, SHS, sea ponies etc it just didn't stand out to me. As ponies seem to reproduce, at least in G1 (mirrors, magic, cloning) asexually it would not be surprising that boy ponies are another type

I really do like boy ponies, but seeing all the G4 blind bag boys I don't think I'll be able to get them all haha!
