What's a common pony you've never seen in real life?

[Loa]

For me it's SS Paradise.
Everyone else seems to have her but I don't think I've seen her once!

To be honest, the only g1s I saw in real life were thrift finds.

I  never found a  surprise though, she seems common.

[BlackCurtains]

Cotton Candy. In all the bait lots I've bought through the years I've never had one.

[Leave a Whisper]

Medley, I've never seen her outside of photos. Not even the BF one.

[Taffeta]

Up until I did my first online trade, I'd say Medley, Skyflier...Powder. I never have seen any version of those at a second hand sale here even now, not even Italian ones. I occasionally used to see Italian ponies at the carboot, so we did pick up Firefly, Surprise and Heart THrob that way, but not the other three. I traded for all the early unicorns and pegasus ponies except Moondancer and Glory with people online.

I don't think there's a common G1 I've never seen now. But there are quite a few G3s. Unfortunately I'm very bad with names. But I see them often on ebay and never in real life. Like for example the blue and yellow (?) one with the 3d symbol. I've never seen her, not even when they were in stores.

For a long time into my trading as well, I had never seen a HK Sundance. I have one now but it took a lot of years xD.

Thinking about it, I've still never seen a Chinese summer wing pony. I have the Frankenpony who has buzzer's body and bits of others, and she's made in China. But I've never actually seen a normal one made in China. Only HK ones.

Any second set/year 3 Rainbow ponies. So, a really, really, really, really nice Confetti, I've never seen in real life.

[Leave a Whisper]

Never seen Desert Rose in the wild.

It’s probably unlikely that there are any common G1s that I haven’t seen in person. My collection is pretty large,  I used to attend ponymeets fairly regularly, and I have gotten tours of a few high end collector’s pony rooms.

However, if I go by ones that I haven’t had pass through my hands, there’s probably one or two Sweetheart Sisters I’ve never personally gotten. I don’t like them, I don’t collect them, and any I do get in lots go straight into the trade bin.  A fair few have straggled in over the years, but I probably haven’t gotten all of them. 

[Leave a Whisper]

Lily and Heart Throb comes to mind.

[Colorscapesart]

G1 Minty.

[LadyAmalthea]

Bluebell. Also the sitting ponies...Bubbles and Seashell.

[Leave a Whisper]

Sunny Daze is another one.

[Gator]

I would say some sweetheart sisters.  I don't collect them so I just have a few I've gotten in lots.

[Artemesia's Garden]

I have also not seen Fancy Flower and Frilly Flower because they weren't released in the UK. I think I've seen most common ponies released in the UK. A lot of the G1 ponies I haven't seen in person are some I'm less keen on collecting, like Flutter Ponies, so they don't really spring to mind.

Nearly every one of the First Year ponies of Gen 1 (although I have seen maybe 2 or 3 of them)
