I think it's cool they're named after nature / natural disasters.Conversely I think the Big Brother ponies are almost . . . embarrassing? "I'm 4-Speed so I have a TRUCK on my butt 'cause I'm a BOY and boys love TRUCKS!" Like . . . okay. Nothing about that makes me want to buy you or own you, but okay. Also most of them have pretty mucky color schemes. I don't object to them having pink or purple on them, that's fine, but it's rarely a NICE shade, you know? While most of the Mountain Boys are very vibrant.So I think part of the Mountain Boys appeal is the realization (among Americans) that there WAS a set of boys who were simply better than what we got.The freckles are completely neutral for me. I actually don't like freckles on most ponies who aren't Bow Tie and Applejack.
This is kind of a fun topic for me. I grew up with only sisters, and my dad was an active part of my pony collecting. He wanted me to make sure I had male ponies, and as a US collector, we had the big brothers. It was a big part of my collection for my dad to make sure the boys were accurately represented. We moved to England when I was 13 (in 1997), so the mountain boys became a new way to add to my boys. . However, at the moment, I do not have any. One day perhaps I will replace the few I had. Somehow, Ice Crystal went completely MIA when I went to college. Side note, I had a beautiful Thailand Ice Crystal with a dark green streak a while ago that I sold.
