I think Seabreeze is my favorite. I'm normally not the biggest fan of orange ponies, but her colors are very unique and remind me of seeing the sun rise at the beach.

Difficult to pick since I love three of them almost equally (sorry Piña Colada! ^^; ). Picked Tootie Tails because I absolutely love her colours, and the pose is one of my faves.

My TT is sadly in need of a rehair... her hair is cropped really short. And my Hula Hula is completely bald. :lol: I think I've even got as far as buying the hair I need but actually getting the rehair done... lol nope.

As Ponyfan said, the names were better different here.
I'm not going to vote in the poll because of the name thing with Hula Hula.

My sister had Hula Hula (Pina Colada) as a kid, so to me that pony is the only pony that can ever have that name.
My favourite is the unicorn, who I had new, and her name was Sail Away.

It feels wrong to vote for Sail Away by selecting a poll option for Hula Hula. They're different ponies to me.

So yeah. My vote is for Sail Away. :)

I think they have some different names outside the US?  Are they just as non-sensical?

The UK names make a lot more sense to me than some of the US ones.

Tootie Tails is Summer Heatwave

Pina Colada is Hula Hula

Sea Breeze is Surfing Days

Hula Hula (the unicorn) is Sail Away

Ah, I see...  At least naming the pony with the sailboat Sail Away makes more sense to me than naming her Hula Hula!

I nicknamed my Hula, Kalea. Its a Hawaiian name that means Bright.

I chose Heatwave. I think Pina Colada is such a fun name, while for me a Pony called Hula Hula would have to have something to do with dancing as her rumpmark. I deffo prefer the UK names for the unicorn, pegasus & Heatwave, however
My Mascots (so far): Twisty Tail, G2 Trixiebelle, Starcatcher, Twilight Sparkle. All variants & pictures of these are appreciated. Piccies courtesy of Griffin, Blumiere, Littlebabyribbon, & Starscout

Hula Hula has the dancing palm trees.
I do agree that Pina Colada (too lazy to do the accent) is a cool name, and it would've been neat to have a pony called that over here. Although it's a bit alcoholic for the UK maybe..? (Applejack got through though..?)

They could've used Pina Colada for Summer Heatwave I suppose...? That would've made some sense at least??

I'm afraid this is one of those sets where I look at Hasbro US and just go...srsly, why ><.

I wonder if the fairy tail bird or the pony concept names came first...

In any case, Sail Away had that whole long comic poem as well, so that, coupled with growing up with Naynie's "Huli" makes me twitch inside every time I hear the name Hula Hula used online now.

@LAW Kalea is cute :D

My favourite is Pina colada. She was my first and I drew her before I even had her. (Usually that's in reverse)

Also the song Pina colada is quite nice. Never had the dink though.

Hulahula due to the fact that she was a part of my childhood herd. Pretty sure I picked her out too... Ah, Shopko memories.

Sea Breeze!  :lovey:
I love them all yes, but this time Sea Breeze feels the most beautiful of them.

Pina Colada and Tootie Tails are my very first ponies in my childhood, among a few others (they were Tex, Chief, Barnacle, Sunspot ...)  :hearts:

Tootie Tails sounds like the name of a pony with flatulence problems.


That is what I thought too! ;)

Tootie Tails could be called Pina Colada (she has a pineapple!)

Yes! I agree 100%! The pony with the pineapple should have been called Pina Colada! I still don't understand what "Tootie Tails" means to this day. I love everything about that pony....except her name.

I had Pina Colada as a kid, but I found her at a garage sale and didn't know her name.  I renamed her Oasis, and I stick with that one to this day.

Ooh, Oasis! I really like that name for Pina Colada. You give her the name Oasis and you give Tootie Tails the name Pina Colada and you're all set!

I like Pina Colada's color scheme the best. It is kind of neat to have an ombre gradient pony which makes her pink body look shimmery. It reminds me of tropical fish! It looks bold and very 90's! The others just sort of pale in comparison, but that is probably just me.

This is a minor side note but how do you make the gifs of the ponies? Did you get them from somewhere online or did you code them yourself? I know nothing about coding!

I really adore TT, but you can probably imagine why I prefer to call her Summer Heatwave...sorry but I can't help but think of, er, "toots!"
But hey, I'm a sucker for food/fruit ponies, (can you tell?) for some reason I particularly enjoy tropical fruit motifs.
