Least fave pony friend?

Poor Edgar!

So I don't have really strong feelings for any of them.  They are cute, but don't feel like My Little Pony to me.  Even when they were in stores, I went for ponies instead.

I suspect a lot of people had the same reaction, which is why they're harder to find nowadays.

With the Kingsley discussion, I personally see them as a "they," maybe more feminine but still both? Lol.

What if he was just born pink and can't help it! Lol.

Also I think it's totally fine to disagree with the gender Hasbro gave them, I don't think that really makes them "wrong," I think that's just a personal opinion at that point. They were the creators, so technically whatever they decided is what's "right" canonically for that character, even if it is a bit odd. But cartoons and toys, especially in the 80s, were never too concerned with accuracies like that.

Toy manufacturers really don't seem to have grasped lion dimorphism. Puppy in my Pocket had a lion called Lucy, who has cubs and a long flowing mane?! http://www.90sinmypocket.com/014-lucy.html
Maybe they just feel a mane looks more interesting and recognisably lion-like?

@Carrehz, those articles on lionesses with manes are really interesting. I came here to look at cute ponies and learnt new things about lions!

The confusion over Kingsley's gender actually makes me like him/her more! Trans headcanon accepted . I'm not big on Pony Friends generally. My least favourite is probably Nectar, to me he (she? it?) doesn't really look like he belongs in My Little Pony the way the others do. Not sure why.
