Your collection is beautiful!! Amazing job on those rehabilitations :heart:

Oh gosh I hope Basic Fun make the Flutters! They're such dainty ponies, I absolutely adore the original box art and seeing a whole MIB set in stores would just be amazing.

It's so nice of you to do a giveaway, we hope you feel better real soon! :heart: :hug:

Thank you,  roogna really is amazing at re hairing them.

So many flutters! Do you have Hollywood as well?

Yes but I've found her to be much rarer !
She is at the start next to the honeysuckles

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear you caught the virus! I hope you are taking care of yourself! :heart: The flutter I won in your last giveaway never appeared! I fear she may have been lost in the 'rona mail slowdown! :( I hope she can make her way safely back home to you! You may want to be cautious mailing out any other giveaway ponies, just in case! We're having some wild postal issues in the states right now, on top of everything else! :hug: Feel better soon!

I have good news  :biggrin: she was returned last week! With a note saying return to sender parcel lost  :shocked: so when I send this pony out I'll send her back out to you,  the postal service is so bad at the moment :( I'll send both tracked x

How did you get the wings to stay on Flow? I love hqg1c ponies but can't figure a way to give the Flutter molds wings without it looking... Bad. :lol:

I would absolutely love it if they brought back the flutters. And I would love it even more if we were able to buy Basic Fun ponies in South Africa, but no store here wants to stock them even though we as the pony collectors have all asked them pretty please to.

If basic fun does release flutter ponies, I'd certainly be interested to see if and how they make their wings less fragile!

I would love new flutters.  I could have some with their original wings intact!

Flutter ponies are among my favourite ponies, I still have two childhood ones (Morning Glory and Tropical Breeze). That would be amazing if BF released flutters, I love their delicate bodies and small heads.

Your flutters are gorgeous.

I would definitely buy reproduction flutters from Basic Fun. I have bought everything else so far and I am loving being able to get new G1 ponies.

Oh no I'm so sorry you are sick.  Hope you have a speedy recovery.  And yes I'd love for them to be brought back.  I regret selling the couple I used to have when I first started collecting.

I'm one of the minority who doesn't really want BF flutters. It's entirely selfish, though. The thing I love most about the original flutters is their delicate epheremerality. But I can't see how instantly breaking wings would make it through to stores...and I would worry that they'd toughen up the wings and ruin that irridescent effect and how delicate they are.

So I am quite happy having flutters in a bubble of the past.

On a more important note = please make sure you take care of yourself and I really hope you feel better soon ><

I'm assuming for the poll you're going to pick someone at random. I wanted to join the discussion, but I'd also like to say that if by any fluke my name comes up for this, can you please redraw the results? I love the flutters but I already have a very pretty Honeysuckle who would be jealous if she had competition, and I've seen in other people's comments that there are definitely people who would deserve her more than me.

I would love the first set of flutters to be remade, especially Rosedust.  Not so much the 2nd set.  It would be nice to see them with improved wings too.  Still can't believe stores rejected the set.  Target can't keep the next wave/set of repros in stock on their site-Gusty/Surprise/Heartthrob/Sparkle

Oh I made tiny slits to the back with a Stanley knife and modified the wings to fit :)

Are you sure??? I could make it so that if your name is drawn that you could have either lily or morning glory or peach blossom :) seeing as you have honeysuckle

I'm sure! I've been really lucky with my flutters, and I would be happiest she goes to someone who would really be able to love and appreciate her!!

(Or you could just leave me out of the draw, if that's easier xD)

I would love to see a repro set of flutters! I do have a few flutters, but none of them have their wings... and since I was born long after G1 ended, I've never actually seen one brand new with its wings. The enjoyment of the Basic Fun ponies is getting to see *sort of* what it was like when they were lining the shop shelves! That, and flutters just have such pretty wings :, )

I hope you're feeling better soon, sending hugs!
