POTD 3/24/2020 SS Twist

[mlp4me]

Happy Tuesday! This week we'll be featuring so soft ponies... Twist is the featured pony today. Only catch-- you provide the supporting pics! Would love to see her flocked and deflocked.

Do you have her, what are your thoughts? Share some pics!


I have her and she's quite sad... I need to upgrade. So many of my SS are rough shape.

One of my favourite SS ponies.

And this one, though sadly it's a little yellow in the bubble now...It looks worse in that photo because of the flash mind you.

The first one I ever got actually went to my sister, because when we began re-collecting we were both kids/teens and didn't have a lot of money...so we went through all the ponies we didn't have and created a list each, splitting most sets between us. With the SS ponies we took turns to pick and Naynie picked Twist, so she got Twist.

But I really liked her so when a nice one came in a lot I kept her

I am not sure which one is photographed above - Naynie's or mine - as they are both in good shape.

I have the Brazilian earth pony Twist as well but right now I can't find a photo of her *grumble grumble*

Edit - I spoke too soon, here she is (not a great picture but anyway);

I love her deflocked, such a bold body color.

I had her, deflocked her myself, the looked amazing, and then a friend's daughter who is very gentle with her toys all but begged me for her because she loved her so much.  I can get a Twist and deflock her again some day, maybe not at the price I paid for the first one, but you can't get back being an 7 year old and having ponies be your absolute world.  She still has her years later, still in the condition she was received, I may have created a collector.

Pass. I don't like her at all, not even deflocked. Ugly colour scheme, not my favourite pose, and I hate pretzels. Well, the tiny, hard ones anyway. I've never had any other kinds.

I love pretzels and want her deflocked. If i have one with good flocking I won't deflock her but she looks almost grey with flocking.

That Brazil one is so cute! I don't have her yet.

I couldn't believe the colour underneath when I de-flocked the gross one I got in a lot;

Purple is my favourite colour, and I love pretzels, both hard and soft

I will admit I can see why her colour scheme is a bit off putting for some.

[Loona]

I guess I'll pass. It's not like I'd leave her behind if I found her at a thrift shop, but I wouldn't actively seek her out. And even if I came across her, I'd most likely trade her for a baity-haired one and rehair her (and repaint her symbol, because I cannot really understand the logic behind that either), because while her body colour is dark and unique, and I love purple, that paired with her hair colour is just... no. No-no.
She seems a little randomly put together, reminding me of the "new fresh colour gen.1 Furbies" which were actually randomly assembled from leftover parts the factory had, resulting in weird, non-coordinating colour combinations.

[Leave a Whisper]

Desperately WANT! I love that pony sm.

[Gator]

I have her, but would love another to deflock.

[SunPony]

I'm not wild about her overall, although I do like her bright body color under all that flocking.  I prefer her deflocked look for sure.

[freezestime]

She's my first and only So Soft. I'll probably eventually rehome her.

[starbritesprinkles]

Twist is part of my childhood herd. She's been loved very well, but I'll never upgrade or get rid of her.

[Ponybookworm]

Have, but seriously need to get round to updating my photos (as in actually taking them myself)

I do love the vivid purple beneath her flocking
