Least fave pony friend?

[Taffeta]

Always had a kind of disconnect to all the pony friends. We never had them here and when I discovered them online I felt they were an odd idea.

Still feel that way. Not sure who my least favourite would be though.

Eventually I'd like to get them all but if I had to nitpick my vote goes to Edgar.
For some reason the design of manes on an elephant looks weird to me. Even in MLP world it's a bit too much, like he's wearing a wig.

Or a rug...like Trump

The only elephants that I have seen where the hair does not look too weird is probably on the baby elephant in Disney's The Jungle Book.  One of the adults actually gets a buzz cut due to having too unruly of a hairdo.  Lol.

I think the "problem" with Edgar's hair is the colour. I mean, the hair looks weird anyway on an elephant, but it might've looked less weird if it wasn't so...... blonde. Or maybe if he just had a little tuft of hair, like the baby pony pals.

I picked Spunky, even though I just bought her/him(?). 

"Her" according to her backcard :B the only boys in the line are Edgar and Oakly (yes, Kingsley is a girl!!).

Well, the first two lines, anyway. Dunno about the Pretty Pals cause the only backcard for those that mentions a pronoun is Hoppy... the one whose gender is obvious anyway cause of her pouch. x)

Huh, I have always considered (King!)sley to be a boy, even though monochrome pink.

It's interesting in other polls how people point out how there's too much pink yet only one of the pink ones out of 5 is in the top 3.

I love Cha Cha, I had a toy Llama as a child and I've never forgotten him! Cha Cha is next level because MLP x Llama so I and very keen to add him/her to my collection one day.

Edit: I completely misread the thread! My least favourite is the Zebra one because I think she could have been a lot more zebra-like but she just looks like a calf to me.

Kingsley is a boy. He's got a mane and his name is Kingsley, not Queensly.  I'm amazed that Hasbro was dumb enough not to know the know the difference between a male and female lion.

[Carrehz]

And yet her backcard clearly uses female pronouns multiple times. She's a girl. They just wanted her to have brushable hair like the others and didn't care that only male lions have manes in real life. (Although idk why they gave her a boy name as well.)

Lions don't have fluffy tails like that, zebras don't have horse tails, elephants don't have flowing blonde manes, and none of these animals are freakin' technicoloured in real life, but somehow the female lion having a mane is the one that everyone gets weird about. I don't get it!

Also it's rare, but there actually are reported cases of female lions growing manes in real life.

He's a boy and just because Hasbro does not know the difference doesn't mean I'm going to agree with them. They were wrong, plain and simple.

[Carrehz]

Eh. I just think it's silly to judge this set, of all things, by real life standards. It's not like the rest of the pony friends are at all realistic.

Neither is a bipedal talking lion with a heart and crown on his stomach, but at least its creators knew the difference between a male and female of the species. And yes, impo the whole set looks ridiculous. I never did like the Pony Friends or Pretty Pals because of their brushable hair.

Honestly not a fan of any of these guys...Cuteasaurus is my vote though, she's weird even by Pony Friend standards.

lol well if we're going to bring other toylines into this, Hasbro are hardly the only toy company to make a female lion with a mane.

Basically Hasbro said Trans Rights! 

Well, the first two lines, anyway. Dunno about the Pretty Pals cause the only backcard for those that mentions a pronoun is Hoppy... the one whose gender is obvious anyway cause of her pouch. x)

You say that, but I seem to remember many male cartoon kangaroos being depicted with pouches also.

I thought of that *right* after I posted XP I really wouldn't have been surprised if they had said Hoppy was a dude.

That's right!  I didn't even think of that and I have her toy in my pony room.

I guess to me Kingsley does not really have a regular lion mane, just a "mop on top" sort of thing going on since it is not down the neck and around his/her face (theirs?).

[aquamarinemolly]

I went with Edgar.

I would go with Edgar... someone on the boards said something silly along the lines that he looked like Trump. I can't unsee that now so I giggle everytime I see him in the ponyroom.

Yes I was about to cite this as my reason! I just can't shake it out of my head!

Me too! Sorry Edgar, I know you were here first, but ugh, yeah.
