Do you have a version of her? Your thoughts? Share some more pics!

I have her.


POTD is changing things up, just a little bitty bit for 2021. For the entire month of January I'll be featuring white bodied ponies and also others that have a wintery theme. I'll continue to dedicate the first few days to birthday ponies in celebration of those born within that month. The last day of the month will be dedicated to a specific play set.

Wait, there are different versions of her?

I still need to get my hands on her. Hope to get her someday for a good price.

I really love her. I have a version of her:

I also didn't know there were different versions of her. I'd like to add her to my Tootsie pose army!

I really like the Tootsie pose too, sometimes people say it looks strange but I think it's fine.

I'll pass. She was one of my childhood ponies, up until my sister lost her in the ancient fortress of Discount Giant, but I don't remember ever being particularly attached to her, so I don't feel a need to replace her.

There are definitely Spanish and Italian ones I think? My sister definitely has a Spanish one she bought at ponycon a few years back.

Snowflake is a childhood pony for me. I think she was pony number 5? Something like that.

She has the dubious honour of being the only one of my ponies who was ever stolen/kidnapped, although I got her back.

I have weird memories around her. I don't know if I chose her or I didn't. I didn't like her pose, but I loved her freckles and glittery symbol. She and CJ often played boy ponies in my herd because I only had 3 mountain boys and that wasn't enough. But I never thought of her as anything but a girl otherwise.

I loved that she was pony Christmas at least one year.

And I have some very rare merchandise with her on it that I saved from my childhood. The same childhood that ditched almost all backcards and lost my Mountain Boy stickers managed to preserve these. The irony.

Shoebox from the same kind of time. She's on the end. I forget which pony was on the trainers. I don't think I have them any more. Last I saw them they were turned into puppets. BUT I do have the box.

I also acquired this from a carboot sale in the nineties.

Front label of an old and very rusty bike that really should be scrapped but...hasn't been yet:

I also have her MOC. I have a loose card and I have Honeycomb on her card as well (that last one is just a freak purchase though). I genuinely love and appreciate her more now as an adult than I did as a kid, as I no longer hate the pose. And I always think of her with Powder, though Powder wasn't sold here.
This is probably why. They would generally show up around wintertime, together.

Pass. She's ok. I like Hopscotch and Gypsy more.

[Ponybookworm]

Have, though I didn't used to. UK version of course.
I also made this:

[tailrustedtealeaf]

Picked one up a month or so ago off an Instagram flash sale. Just the normal kind. I think she's darling.

[starrynights]

I love her! She's gorgeous. Would love to have

[Artemesia's Garden]

Wow, Taffeta, that chocolate box story looks amazing! Thanks you so much for sharing these rare items.

[reanna-mator]

Yep! My last trip to the UK I took advantage of being in a better area for shipping costs to acquire some UK and Euro exclusives by mail. Thankfully my inlaws are super nice about me having vintage toys delivered to their home. <3 I got Snowflake, Hopscotch, Honeycomb, and maybe a few more.

[Carrehz]

Have and love ^^ She was one of the earliest G1s I bought. Love the earlier UK ponies, there's just something about them... also freckles
I love how she's not the usual "winter/snow/Christmas/etc" colours, too. She really stands out, in a good way of course.

Oh, Taffeta, I LOVE that Cadbury's clipping! So precious.

[fuzzysherbet]

she's pretty cute, but i don't think i'd seek her out. plenty of pink ponies i like better.
