Random/off topic pony thoughts

Why are true greens such uncommon colors?

Maybe difficult to get the dye right??

It does make the few that exist special though.

That it does. And pricy too. Usually.

I had a random thought as I was watching The Glass Princess....it is heavily emphasized that ponies have magical properties in their hair- no matter what race they are. In g4, however, it seems like earth ponies (Pinkie Pie, specifically, and Apple Jack to some extent) alone have magical hair, and I wonder if this was a callback to g1.

More importantly, what the magical hair means as far as the misconception that many have about earth ponies having no magic goes.

I heard somewhere that the reason their hair grew back so fast is that the animators didn't feel like drawing them bald for the rest of the storyarc. Which sounds kind of odd considering that they would actually be way easier to animate without hair.

Wanted Baby G1s based on the Big/Mountain Boy Ponies, plus G1 Boy Unicorns

Whenever I watch the "Slumber Party" episode of My Little Pony Tales, i can't help but think that Squire was originally supposed to die in it, but it wouldn't fly past the censors so they had to change that. Just think about it, Patch's ghost story doesn't really make much sense, seing how ghost stories are meant to be scary and there's nothing scary about a dragon simply walking away while the protagonist was temporarily stuck in a hole, plus when we actually see Squire's ghost at the end he's still the same age, implying he never got any older than he was in the story. Now when you see the scene where Patch's story ends with him falling into the hole, imagine that she says something like "and then he fell into the hole and was never seen again, but some say his ghost is still out there" instead, and now the whole episode complete with the twist ending suddenly makes a whole lot of sense!

With the G1 series, I always found it puzzling that everything is within walking distance of Paradise Estate: the desert, the sea, a castle made of ice. How tiny is their world?

Random pony observation: my Baby Tic Tac Toe has an extraordinarily thick mane. Is anyone else's like this? There are 4 rows of hair plugs, and some random extra large plugs in between the rows. I've never seen this on any pony before, much less a baby. The green stripe in her mane alone is as thick as her tail (which is not skimpy, either!). It's like someone handed her designer a massive hank of hair and said make it work on this pony, however you have to do it. I checked a couple of her set-mates, Babies Quackers and Bouncy, and their hair is normal.

On that note I always wondered why Baby Fifi's hair was so thin: just one row of white & the streak.

Oh ... oh no! I wonder if you're right!! Welp, goodbye sleep!

That's interesting...I had wondered about Baby Fifi because she is in the same pose and thought she might be the same, but I don't have her so I couldn't check. That's weird that hers is extra thin! I wonder why they did that.

[Taffeta]

I always thought my childhood baby TTT was well endowed in the hair dept.

Baby Fifi has curly hair (theoretically) which may be a part in it.

But the rainbow babies here have much thicker hair than the ones I've had from the US. So it's probably just about batch differences. Or maybe that they have to get four colours in for Baby TTT, but not so much for baby Fifi, who has to accommodate the unicorn streak instead.

A better comparison would probably be Quackers on the four colours, but I can't remember her being super thick either...although she may also be curly, I can't actually remember right now *ponders*.

[LadyAmalthea]

I thought the same thing, and Quackers was the first one I checked, but she just has 2 standard rows like normal. You might be right, maybe she was curly and that was why. I can't tell, because the one I have is badly frizzed (possibly an indication of curly hair). She was my sister's pony, so I can't remember what she looked like when she was new. She sure is in need of a spa day, though...*puts Baby Q on the mental list of ponies to be cleaned*
