Unpopular faves?
« on: December 25, 2019, 10:35:18 PM »
I absolutely LOVE a lot of the seemingly unpopular or at least less talked-about g1 pony lines. The sundazzles, rockin’ beats, sweetheart sister, and baby brother ponies to name a few! Do people not like them or have I just missed all the conversations? Feel free to ask me why *I* like them if you don’t see the appeal or w/e, maybe we can start a conversation about them here!

I like this idea. I really love green tootsie but people tend to dislike her.

The Baby Bros are popular
The Sundazzles and SHS are simply lost in the crowd
The Rock n Beats are divisive


I like all 3 Sundazzles. Sun Splasher is on my wishlist.

Rockin' Beats were the only complete set I had as a kid. I love them now too. I have seven I think. All my childhood ones and the US/alternate versions of Tunefull, Half Note and Pretty Beat. I didn't find one for Sweet Notes yet, but she must exist...it must just be subtle...

There are other fans of the SHS around here. I love the glittering and the prom queen sets. :)

The baby bros are fanatically popular xD.

Sets that get mixed receptions that I really like include the Brush & Grows and the Perfume Puffs. All about the hair ;) And I don't care what anyone says, I genuinely love Mimic. I had her before I knew she was expensive, so it's for no other reason than I adore her colour scheme and her pretty gem eyes.

I love Mimic too.  I wish she wasn’t so popular.

Baby Brothers, Rock & Beats and many of the later releases were kind of “after” my time.  I don’t remember them coming out at all so they never made it to my want list.

But I do think those ponies are pretty popular among collectors just because they are a bit more obscure and hard to find.

@ kingluke: i have her, she’s a huuuge favorite along with TAF buttons, i cant get enough of that color scheme. i like bright/obnoxious/clashing colors so much lmao. big reason why i like the rockin beats and sundazzles

@ leave a whisper: i really love the different body shape they have, its so elegant and idk interesting? thats not a good word but idk shdhskd. im glad they just get kinda lost instead of hated! and the drink n wets are cute! like the gimmick is weird but the ponies themselves are cute! i like the ducky one

@ taffeta: i like the brush n grows a lot too! the perfume puffs i feel like i have the potential to like but im not quite sure yet. ive always been curious about the appeal of them

Ha, I couldn't think of anyone else! My tastes are unfortunately somewhat typical. :P

*cookies* XD

@StayGoldPonyBoy - the puffies are very much a love/hate set for people, mainly because of the hair. I love the hair, I love how it holds the perfume (which unlike the other scented releases is not horrible) and it's quite therapeutic to groom (for me, because I am a big fan of pony hair). It's quite satisfying :) Or I'm odd. Either or. :D

The Brush and Grows I was always fascinated by. Braided Beauty had so much hair O.O As a kid I was so excited by that...she had SO many experimental braidings, curlings, stylings and such through my childhood...

I have taf buttons as well. I hope green tootsie is as lovely as her.  My current grail is tuneful, but im  still busy completing sets.

Baby Rainfeather is my favorite with Flicker second. I actually do like Snookums too, but she's so similar to Noddins.

I like the first set of BnGs myself. Curlylocks, Ringlets, Braided Beauty and Pretty Vision are such pretty girls with the lushest, thickest, hair on any toy. Soft too.

I also enjoy the Flip n Flows. It just irks me that that set has a unique gimmick for the brand, yet are plagued by Mane Suxx fever with literally NO new characters. What's the point of making a movie with new characters and barely selling them at all? That's dumb! They're dumb!

Had Hasbro been in its right mind like it was in from G1 to G3, we would have gotten Flip n Flow Haven Bay,  Novo, Skystar, Silver Stream and whats-her-face. Instead of Rainbowdash, Twilight Shartle and Pinkie Poop. I did grab FnF RD and TS for customs however.

Running Press Firefly. She gets a lot of hate and it's really unfair! Just because she wasn't a perfect scaled-down replica of the original FF like some folks apparently expected, doesn't mean she's not adorable, dangit :silly:

I'm not sure what's unpopular amongst G3s?
