Least fave flutter pony ?

[Ponybookworm]

I can understand why Yum Yum is leading the charge. I didn't like her at all until I reluctantly bought her with much debate. Instantly fell in love upon her arrival. She was my first flutter pony.  Pastel/neon is definitely one of my aesthetics. I'm picky about that hair color though, there has to be lots of very noticeable green, or I can't be bothered.

I agree she's really much more nicer in person. The neon looks so good with the dark purple in my opinion.

Honeysuckle for the same reason every other Honeysuckle-voter has: all one colour & it's pink...

But peach blossom is also all one colour. And it's the only one with 0 votes..

Well, in fairness, Peach Blossom isn't all pink (the other thing Ponybookworm brought up). There's also a more notable contrast between her hair and her body (hair is dark aqua while the body is light) than between Honeysuckle's pink body and fading pink hair.

I will say that Honeysuckle is at her best looking when her hair is at full vibrancy.

Glad some of you get why we're all so boooooooooooooooooooooooooored with pink!!! As others have said, Peach Blossom is a beautiful shade of aqua, though as some have said, a bit of peach in her hair would really go down well...

I personally enjoy the way the reddishness of the fading pink plays off against her paler pink body; when her hair is faded, the effect is rather spoilt.

I need to re-pink mine again.

I like Honeysuckle with white hair. She looks prettier that way impo. Her symbol is cute too. As with Yum Yum, I didn't like her until I had one in hand.

I wonder if anyone has done a peach haired Peach Blossom?   I think she'd look lovely.

I do have a hairless Peach Blossom in my bait box (I bought her that way along with several other hairless ponies) that I am at some point planning to do with either a.) peach hair, b.) Aqua hair with a peach stripe, or c.) Aqua/white/peach stripe. I haven't decided yet, but I'll post a picture whenever I get to it!

C sounds like a unique combo.

I am the oddball here but I don't like fading pink hair faded on literally any pony it comes on.

I really like Honeysuckle, but only when she's NOT faded. Although my hypercurly version one with the second year wing attachments has kind of creamy curls and that looks not too bad.

I think faded white reminds me of carbootsale days with bleached out poseys and yeah, it just doesn't work for me.

...Pink is overdone in the MLP line but there are shades of pink I can live with and Honeysuckle's combo is one.

If she were pinkie pie pink on the other hand...no way xD.

I always wondered why Peach Blossom was not peach. Hasbro *sigh*.

Lily & YumYum are neck and neck right now. The colour they have in common is purple...

[LadyAmalthea]

I don't like fading pink that's faded either. My Rosedust is faded, so she's less than impressive. Such a blah color scheme for the queen of the flutter ponies...but I suppose Hasbro wasn't thinking of the pink fading when they designed her.

Yeah, it's one of things they didn't know about at the time.
There are ways to restore the pink, however.

I've seen that, and I've yet to experiment with it, although I plan to at some point. Unless you count the time as a kid when I discovered that literally drawing on ponies' faded pink hair with pink highlighter seemed to re-pink it, haha. It must have just faded out again, because I don't now see any evidence of my lame attempt on my childhood ponies.

Yeah, I don't think stuff like highlighter ink properly soaks into the nylon of the hair. The method I'm familiar with is to mix Kool-Aid powder - or powdered Rit dye (IIRC), if you're feeling bolder - into some conditioner and rub it into the hair and leave to sit for a while, then rinse. The dyes from the Kool-Aid powder are susceptible to fading back out over time/exposure, but it's easier to prevent them from staining the pony than it is with the more serious dye.

I've heard using the Rit or the Kool-Aid, but not with the conditioner...I'll try that. Have you heard if there's a certain color (flavor?!) that works best to get the closest shade to the original pink?

[Leave a Whisper]

I used the liquid rit dyemore to successfully repink several ponies hair. Works pretty good.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

I believe the recommended flavor to use is Cherry.

I voted for Cloud Puff, I'm not even sure why. It was going to be either her, Wingsong, or Hollywood.

The Peach Blossom:Lily vote ratio is very interesting to me.  I like PB's pose better, but prefer Lily's color combo. PB just doesn't seem to stand out to me, but as of now, PB is the only one with ZERO votes - does this mean she is the Best Flutter Pony? It would be interesting to do a second poll for Favorite Flutter Ponies and see how that data lines up with the results here!

[dragonfly]

I've gotta say - I find the wingers to be far more enchanting than the flutters! Honeysuckle is a bit blah.

Has anyone ever tried adding flutter wings to Scribbles and Dabble?
