Title: Unpopular Pony Opinions?
Post by: toralei on February 23, 2012, 01:56:35 PM
Do have you have any opinions about MLPs that seem unpopular (or at least to you) in the community? What are they, both positive and negative?


I'll start off with one of each.




-I love the donkey pose! It's one of my favorites from G3.


-I don't really like the way the TE ponies look. They're kind of creepy to me.

I love ....TINSEL!!
I like glitter
I like NSS Shady
I like Megan
I like donkey pose
Rarity is my favourite out of the mane 6


I *don't* like Mimic  >_< (nice colours and I like TE's, but icky pose)
That g4 boy pony toy looks awful (but we'll see if he changes...)
I hate that Hearth's Warming Eve episode o_o
I don't like the term 'pony cancer'

*deep breath*


I do like the BBE babies and the poor deformed DNW babies :P

I don't like Perfume Puff hair, I think the ponies themselves are pretty - but I so badly want to rip out that "hair". This is why I've had to send any PP  ponies I've come across to new homes. *lol*

I also think that most of the G1 ponies from the 10th anniversary line are odd.

I've recently seen a pamplet with a Baby Shady in NBBE Baby Cuddles/Tiddlywinks pose. and I've never liked Shady before, not the grown up nor the baby. Her colors are a bit too exiting for me, but to see her in my favorite baby pose just melted my heart <3 I really wish they'd have made her like that!

i think Gingerbread's pose is cute! just the head is a little fat and the nose seems shorter than the other ponies. but i HATE the Quackers pose. the legs are too weird. i dont even see how a pony could walk like that...

i LOVE twinkle eyes. thats my favorite set from G1. hands down.

i love the donkey pose too!

and i dont care what anyone says, I LOVE SHADY! and i think she looks even better deflocked!

i like mimic too! the colors are odd, but thats what makes her so charming to me! i like unique color combos on ponies!

G2s seem to have a bad rep (though not as bad ads G3.5), but I like 'em.

I like the donkey pose, I don't mind tinsel or damaged flocking, but I don't really care for the Princess Ponies. Their medallions don't symbolize anything, so they seem to plain and unoriginal to me, especially with their US names.

Post by: Taxel on February 23, 2012, 02:56:57 PM

I love sea ponies! I also like BBEs and I usually really love G3.5 customs (I like some G3.5 Hasbro ponies but its rare). I adore Shady and honestly don't like Mimic very much unless she's baity (which is the only way I want one). I prefer most G1s to have hair cuts and/or no tails.

I've seen some people with similar opinions before, so I'm not sure how unpopular this one is, but I usually prefer baity G1s.

I like pegasus ponies, in special Thistle Wistle. Really i like a bit Quackers. Well, it's strange.

I don't like G3 ponies like Minty, Star Catcher, some popular G3 ponies. I HATE BUT I REALLY HATE G1 WITH BRIGHT COLOURS. I don't care, so deal with it.

Agreed! I've never understood why she is so popular. I am not a fan of her body color at all.

I don't like BBE babies much; I prefer to collect the NBBE versions.

I also like the G3 "donkey pose" because the ponies look like they're either really happy, or talking. So good for photo stories!

I like the G3.5's, though I am glad they switched to the G4 style.

I don't really like Rapunzel. *ducks*

I don't like Moondancer's pose. I love everything about her, but I wish they'd changed her post to Glory's.

There! Four for the price of two! ;)

I like BBE babies, too!  Specifically, the unicorns and pegasus ponies - I think Baby Ribbon is adorable.  I also like Baby Frosting.  :silly:

I don't like the Perfume Puffs; their hair bugs me.  If I ever found Red Roses, I'd probably be tempted to rehair her with normal pony hair.  *dodges fakies*

I have no interest in owning Mimic and would probably sell her if I ever did find her.  However, I have no issues with Shady or that pose. 

And to end on a happier note:  I like tinsel and glitter.  I even like pink ponies.   In moderation.  :)

I agree with these, especially the donkey pose (as already stated, hah) . It looks like they just told a joke and are waiting for a reaction  :biggrin:


I must say I really dislike the Diva pose.....

I don't like G3s that much, just a few

I also dislike Brown + Brown ponies, to me, ponies should be colorful!

Orange ponies are the best

I have gobs of unpopular opinions!

*I don`t like being called a Broney. I`m 31!  Wile I love FIM, I love Mr Moochick just as much.

*Firefly is not Rainbow Dash.

*I don`t really care for the shy poses. They can`t see where they are going.

*In a fight I still think Majesty would beat Princess Celestia.

*Mimic is over rated Blueberry baskets is underrated.

*I might not save Truly if she was going to fall off a cliff. Truly = nauseating

- Tales will always be my favourite MLP series, and FiM will always be my least favourite (but still enjoyable)

Oh, now that I've seen some other things people added,

I like Megan and Gingerbread's pose, the only adult G1 pegasus pose I actually really like is Firefly's, and I don't like Rapunzel (or most really long pony hair in general, especially manes).

I don't like boy ponies.  I've always liked Dream Valley as a kind of Amazon homeland:)  LOVE that boys play with ponies, just don't like male ponies.  Guess that makes me a pony sexist!

I don't really like any ponies after G1 Year 4 except for SS Crumpet and a few others.

I like the idea of Pony Wear but the ponies generally look odd/uncomfortable wearing it IMO.

- I LOVE G2 and 3.5 ponies (they were the first that I started to collect after I got into G4).
- I don't particularly like the first few original sets of G1. Particularly Firefly. BUT I WANT TO SO BAD! (I liked her movie rerelease a lot though!)
- Pinklestia didn't bother me (but I am happy to see her in white as well since I like her both ways)
- I actually prefer faded pink hair on most of the G1s that end up this way

Same here, I was not much into how the outfits looked on the ponies. I bought quite a few back in the G1 days but there were only a couple that I actually thought looked good once they were put on the ponies.

I love gen 3.5s stickers. Not the gen itself, but I've gotten two sets of stickers from purchasing ponies and I loooove them.

I don't understand why people feel the need to style their G4 ponies show accurately, I really don't. Why not be creative instead of trying to mimic the show? It's actually become a pet peeve of mine.. :(

Title: Re: Unpopular Pony Opinions?
Post by: Taxel on February 23, 2012, 06:31:38 PM

Realized I forgot one.

I HATE ponies with long manes. HATE. I have almost bought at least 10 customs but didn't because the hair was double, triple, or even QUADRUPLE the size of the pony itself. That is completely ridiculous and completely ruins a beautiful custom imo. No matter how beautifully styled it is, it WILL get messed up in shipping and will not be a good model because wind/movement/etc.

Long manes are beautiful but not in any way practical. I will never buy a pony with long hair for myself as long as I live. At least that means most customs won't tempt me, so that's good for my wallet.

I like both G2 and 3.5 though they're very underrated. 3.5s are cute in their own alien like way!

I also like tinsel. When it's not out of control and all over the place.

To be honest I have no negatives. I love all types of ponies.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I love the donkey and Quackers poses.

Post by: Starbright on February 23, 2012, 08:17:26 PM
The G4s are too small. It's like the sizes have shrunk since G1. I'd rather skip the animal friends and wagons and put the plastic in the pony where it belongs!

I think the sea ponies are a little overrated. ...wait, what are you doing with those pitchforks and torches...

I love rehaired ponies! Some people don't care for them, but if the original was manky, I'll take a nice rehair over a poor conditioned G1 any day.

Caribbean Delight is underrated, she will be the G3 Mimic. :) So glad I have her. Also, I adore the SLH G3s!

I don't like overly complicated customs. I like it when they look like they could exist in the pony universe. (if that makes any sense at all)

I hate fan names for the almost G4 background pony. (pokey pierce? seriously?)  speaking of which I also hate how strict the fan-cannon is for that show too. I hate anything that has to do with :muffin: Pony too.

I don't like super long hair either, and I've trimmed the hair on some of my SLH g3s.

I love all generations, but G3s are my absolute top favorites ever. EVER.

I really dislike seeing G1s customized. Admittedly though, it does seem to bother me less when it's a common pony I don't care for being used. :/ I also don't like to see G2s and even certain G3s, like the unicorns, being baited.

I also dislike the Gingerbread pose, though I think that's a pretty popular stance, actually.

Hmm...I must have more. I'll have to think on it.
Title: Re: Unpopular Pony Opinions?
Post by: HavACrumpet452 on February 23, 2012, 10:25:00 PM
I like D&W ponies. Not because of their rediculous mouth, but because some of the cutest characters are D&W, like Flicker and Rainfeather. So Cute.

I like G2s.

I like fakies.

Honestly, I think a lot of people are great artists, but I don't see the need to ruin an original G1 pony with flowers or random swirls. Flower arrangements can be painted on canvas and sold for the money you'd get for a custom pony. I appreciate a well-done character custom from another show though and hasbro inspired ponies are always cute when done on a common G3 bait.

The reason why I don't collect most MLP is that I think it is WEIRD to have a horse with blue eyes. The only real horse I've ever seen with a blue eye obviously had a brown eye too! I could buy ponies like Snuzzle and Peachy but then I'd have to paint their eyes brown and I'm worried people will think I'm customising what would be a good condition MLP! Others in my collection might end up wearing brown contact lenses...

Post by: McKinley on February 23, 2012, 11:15:57 PM
* I LIKE the Gingerbread pose. I think this is because my first ever pony was in this pose (SS Scrumptious)
* I don't care for Nirvanas. It's neat to see some of the more unique versions of G1 characters, but I can't get past the generally poor quality/condition.
* I think Rapunzel is kinda ugly.
* I don't mind pink, glitter, or tinsel.
* I generally dislike pink ponies with blue hair. I just don't like the color combination much.

* I don't like Twinkle Eyes. I find them creepy. There are a couple of the TE girls whose designs I like but could do without those spooky eyes. It's not BBE level dislike but I'd still prefer them without

* I am not fond of Mimic. I don't hate her or anything but high prices make me go "What? WHY?"

* I don't like super long hair on 90% of ponies. Sometimes it makes sense with the theme and some people like to leave it long if they are selling it but it feels unfinished sometimes. Particularly on the G4s because the FIM ponies all have styled hair. When I style my non-show G4s, I either slightly trim or try to come up with something that doesn't leave the hair dragging on the floor.

* I don't watch Doctor Who and sometimes it irritates me when people try to constantly cram him in to FIM. Doctor Hooves is cute but why is every pony with that symbol a timelord? Maybe they work at an hourglass factory.

Nothing revolutionary but less popular.

I wonder if you could paint white acrylic over the colored part as a barrier then paint in brown. If you don't seal it, maybe it could be removed by Magic Eraser later if you sell?

I really dislike the Galaxy/Ribbon pose and the North Star/Lofty Pose. To me, those two poses are not elegant at all!

I am not a HUGE fan of BBE babies, but I love their characters. So I have them all, but I wish they were all NBBE.

I'm not a fan of the collector pose either, I think it's weird looking, and the ponies always look so sad!

I also am not a fan of the G3 ponies. Something about them bothers me, I still collected them, but not a huge fan!

I think Tootsie is such a pretty pony and is so under rated, I just hate that pose. The colours however <3

I think BBE's are creepy like most others do, but have a soft spot for them, they sort of have an ugly cuteness about them that I just love

I think gingerbread's pose looks like she is a bit tomboyish and bulky, but I think its adorable, if I made a toy of my persona, I would go with a similar stocky mould lol.

I LOVE twinkle eyes, even tho their eyes look odd with the huge lewels protruding from them.

I do like G2's, and I also don't mind G3.5's, although I will admit they are my least favourite gen, followed by G3, but I like G3.5 sweetiebelle, she is adorable, I was given one as well as pinky pie G3.5 as a gift, and couldn't part with either of them

I think the donkey pose is adorable (but we call it something else in my house XD ) and can't quiet understand what's to hate about it, it just looks dopey to me really.

I know she is popular, but I really love mimic's unique colours, the brighter the better I recon :D and green is <3

I like the SHS's, especially the glittery ones
 
I think some of the flutter ponies looking down at them, look like a frog in the face, a very cute frog, but they do look froggish to me :P

think that'll do me lol <.<

-I love fakies. xD I welcome them into my collection as lovingly as I would for a Hasbro pony.

-I'm not crazy about Mimic either. I like her bird symbol and unicorns, but her green and high price is a turn off to me. If I found her at a thrift store I'd still pick her up though.

-I don't collect accessories. I never played with them as a kid, from any toy, and now I know that they would just clutter if I ever got them these days.

-Here's the biggest irony. I actually don't really like horses that much. I like MLP because I like the bright colors and designs, and I love brushing the doll hair. I appreciate MLP as an art, more than anything, and it's not that I by any means HATE horses, but they really aren't my favorite animal. I always liked sea creatures (hence my love for Sea Ponies) and dogs and cats. Think about it-- how cool would My Little Octopus be!

Ooh I love fakies too, I actually own more fakies than I do the real thing, I only collect what I want to tho, I am pretty picky about what comes into my collection & stays, and it doesn't need to be a perfect, minty pony either, just needs to mean something to me. Most of my collection would be considered bait / play only anyhow, but I love them all to pieces and thats all that matters to me :)

I have a thing for hideous fakies, I am not talking about "oh my that is a little unnerving" I mean "OMG! That thing is going to eat your face off whilst you sleep! D:!" I really enjoy them a little too much, and get kicks out of scaring adults with them.

 :heart: :heart: :heart:  I actually want this pair to breed, these are one of my most favourite things (this is my own photo, and anyone is more than welcome to use it as you credit me ;) )

I don't like overly complicated customs. I like it when they look like they could exist in the pony universe. (if that makes any sense at all)

Yes this! This goes for OCs as well! I want them to look like they could've been a Hasbro original

I totally understand that way of thinking and although I actually really like OC's that do look like they could be an actual pony, I wouldn't like one myself. I prefer something that is you all over, from the inside as such. My own OC took a while to find and figure out something I was happy with, I don't consider her a pony as such, more "my unicorn". I didn't go for the typical symbol on butt with (insert colour(s) here) hair because I wanted her to scream that she was all about me, and I think she does :)

She is however pretty basic really, and would be easy for most people to at the very least colour lineart of her. I think an OC should be about the person, not about Hasbro's perception of how a plastic horse should look, but I do understand why others would think differently about that too ^^

Here's the biggest irony. I actually don't really like horses that much. I like MLP because I like the bright colors and designs, and I love brushing the doll hair. I appreciate MLP as an art, more than anything, and it's not that I by any means HATE horses, but they really aren't my favorite animal. I always liked sea creatures (hence my love for Sea Ponies) and dogs and cats. Think about it-- how cool would My Little Octopus be!
THIS! I'm a animal lover, I have cats, dogs and cockatiels. I've been around horses almost all my life, 'cause I've grown up in a small village where keeping horses, cows and farms is quite usual, but um - I don't really like horses. Or ponies. They seem to dislike me also. :D I like to watch them and watch people riding them, but from a secure distance...

I also like the donkey pose.
Gingerbread and Lofty poses look chubby and not graceful.
My favorite customs are hasbro inspired like alt pose etc. I hvae seen a Harvest Parasol and a Golden applejack that I was pretty impressed with.
I find the fandom for FiM bizarre. while i do appreciate that the show has gone back to having more plot/adventure (from my limited 2 episode viewing) the characters are a little obnoxious.  I can't understand the "rabid-ness" of the brony/FIM people.
I don't get sea ponies.
I like Baby Frosting.
I can't stand MO Sweet scoops.

I like the donkey pose, BBE ponies, and glitter. x3

I don't like the little "animal friends" that come with G4 ponies, though. I customize G4s so I have a ton of them, and sure they're cute but they don't have much of a point other than that to me. I wouldn't have played with the animal friends as a kid, just the ponies. xD

And another opinion of mine: I like the G4 animal companions more than the ponies. I want to collect them all but urg. I don't want all the ugly cookie cutter sexist ponies (as in "girls only like pink!!!"). I also HATE most of the G4 pony color combos. I swear Hasbro's color pickers must be colorblind! I HATE Dewdrop Dazzle. Her colors are so awful in real life!

I love gen 3.5s stickers. Not the gen itself, but I've gotten two sets of stickers from purchasing ponies and I loooove them.
I love them too! I have a bunch of them and I love to use them on my notebooks and packages.


EDIT: I also like the Fashion Style Pinklestia. I was one of those people who were all "But she is not that pink!" before, but she really grew on me.

I don't really like G1. They're my childhood pony generation, but they're probably my least-favourite generation except G3.5.

I'm not into horses. I don't have other horse toys or want a real horse; I don't care much for riding, either.

I ♥ love ♥ pink. More pink ponies? YES PLEASE. ALWAYS PINK PONIES.

I adore how tiny G4 ponies are. I like the larger Fashion Style ponies, too, but the brushable G4 toys are pocket-sized and I find that pretty awesome. As a little girl I always loved toys that were small, and I still do!

Well let's see what I can add to this list.
I don't like BBE (as some have already said) they kind of creep me out and make me uncomfortable.
I am not a big fan of tinsel unless its still under control then I don't mind it.
I can't find a soft spot for the g3.5s or g4s (I don't mind the show though!)
The princess ponies I would not actively seek/collect, I have one that I got with other ponies and will keep her but don't plan on buying others.

I love twinkle eye ponies!! And want them ALL!
I love g1 and g2 babies.
I love cleaning dirty ponies and styling their hair..
I love the g1s eyes, they look a little more relaxed then the g3s.. maybe that's just me though

- I love G2 and i don' think G3.5 was that bad design-wise. They just lacked a lot of characters and time to evolve.
- I don't care about all the background ponies from FIM and their fan names. I think most of them look very bland, recycled and boring. It makes me sad they get over-hyped so much while there are toy-only characters with better designs out there (who get nearly no attention just because they don't appear in the show for a couple of seconds.).
- While FIM is a fun and good show, i feel people are starting to over-rate it.
Some people act as if FIM is the only decent show out there.
- I don't like all the (overly dramatic) FIM fanfiction out there. Some are so over the top they just become unintentionally funny.
- I don't mind BBE ponies and the donkey pose is one of my favorite G3 poses.
- I don't mind pink at all. All that matters is that the complete color combo looks good.

I know many of you could step on my toes in a stilletto for this, but I am absolutely DISGUSTED by the boy ponies hairy feet :D . Lol Dunno why, seems so dirty to me, or thats the idea that comes to my mind seeing (even in RL) Clydesdale hooves. The ony boy who could live with me and be forgiven for this is the gorgeous sexy Tux. But even he'd be wearing boots all the time:).

* I don't watch Doctor Who and sometimes it irritates me when people try to constantly cram him in to FIM. Doctor Hooves is cute but why is every pony with that symbol a timelord? Maybe they work at an hourglass factory.

I completely agree.

I love Doctor Who (I don't know if I've mentioned that before :P ) and it would be awesome if there was a genuine reference in FiM, like the Big Lebowski scene for instance, but Dr Whooves is just some random background pony who doesn't look, sound or act like any version of the Doctor and is just one of sooooo may ponies with hourglass cutie marks. The massive acceptance of this fanon drives me nuts!

Also, I love brightly coloured and/or clashingly coloured ponies; like the pink/orange of Honeybuzz for instance. So pretty!

I never wanted Bubbles or Seashell as a kid because I couldn't see the point of a permanently sitting pony (how could she go on adventures?!) but I really like the designs. I wish they'd been made standing, or even poseable like G3 Rainbow Swirl.

Ooh I love fakies too, I actually own more fakies than I do the real thing, I only collect what I want to tho, I am pretty picky about what comes into my collection & stays, and it doesn't need to be a perfect, minty pony either, just needs to mean something to me. Most of my collection would be considered bait / play only anyhow, but I love them all to pieces and thats all that matters to me :)

I have a thing for hideous fakies, I am not talking about "oh my that is a little unnerving" I mean "OMG! That thing is going to eat your face off whilst you sleep! D:!" I really enjoy them a little too much, and get kicks out of scaring adults with them.

 :heart: :heart: :heart:  I actually want this pair to breed, these are one of my most favourite things (this is my own photo, and anyone is more than welcome to use it as you credit me ;) )

I totally agree with the accessory thing too, I do really like some accessories, but I really just see it as clutter & would prefer them to go to someone that is going to appreciate it for what it is.

I always love your fakie posts, fingerpaints. :lovey: I think I remember a post about that white one on the imposter board... didn't you say that it was BBE and glowed in the dark? I don't remember the purple one though. Does it do the same? Those are so wonderfully creepy, in all the right ways. I think it was xCharx who put it so beautifully that anyone could get on Dream Valley and look up everything that Hasbro ever put out, but with fakies there will always be that mysterious aura that keeps drawing us near... it's human nature to be curious.

Forgive me. I haven't slept in over 14 hours and I'm just babbling at this point. :) Also, I can completely second the fakies outweighing the "realies." I love Hasbro ponies, of course and want more, but then I see those cuuuute little puppy dog glass eyes staring up at me as if to say "heeelllp!!! Save me from this thrift store prison!" and I just HAVE to take them home and clean them up!

I also forgot to mention in my initial post that I LOVE G3.5s. I used to hate them like everybody else does, but then I found Pinkie Pie's mom at Goodwill and I just couldn't leave her there. They are so much cuter in person than they look in pictures on the interwebz.

I really can't stand G4 Pinkie Pie. She's much too hyper and in your face in my opinion and annoys the crud out of me. I also don't like the name DJ Pon-3. It's really awkward to read. I preferred the name Vinyl Scratch personally. Also while I like both the original 80s cartoon and FiM, I like FiM better.

Also I don't really like the adult G1s D: they seem a little frumpy to me, there are some poses I do like ( like Twilight's pose is cute) But like the Shy pose is just meh :c Also I think Flutter ponies and Sea ponies have really funky lookin heads D: G1 babies are probably the cutest things in existence though, lol~

And omg chartreuse hair ughhh I hate it. It just looks so.... Weird. Like not really tacky, but BEYOND tacky. Like some whole new level of tacky.

But other than that I think my opinions are pretty inline with popular opinion...

This.

I might for the sake of art pair up a male with a female.  But I don't go around coupling up ponies.  I also did not play wedding with my ponies when I was little.

I also do not change the gender of ponies.  If Hasbro released them as female, then female they shall be and the same for males.

Haha, I like them as much as I like any animal. I live in the country and there are lots of horses around, but I don't have much direct experience with them. They certainly are big and kind of intimidating, but on the occasions where I've been near them and had one walk up to me I like to pet them. I know for a little while when I was a kid I wanted to take riding lessons but it never happened, maybe it would be different if I had...

As much as I love FiM I'm not that keen on the toys, the price is part of it and also because of the amount of QC issues I've seen it puts me off. I don't really think they're worth the price they're selling for

I always liked sea creatures (hence my love for Sea Ponies) and dogs and cats. Think about it-- how cool would My Little Octopus be!

Giggles sorry but I keep thinking of a rainbow colored squid that shoots water at me. My little Squiddd.
ok enough silliness:
I just wanted to point out that everyone likes something different about MLPs and I think thats good because the world would be boring if everything or everyone was the same.
I do like pink.
I do like real horses. so I guess im the odd one out because I used to ride them and I always loved horses.
I love all pony poses even the weird funky ones.
BBE are poor creatures that need love too so I too pity on them and they have a shelter here.
I only like MLP style fakies
I love basic hasbro related customs. I still do customize G1s but not as often as I used to. I accept ponies with cancer if they maybe rarer or hard find.
I love mimic shes very special in my herd because of all her controversy.
I love ponies with long hair. I do customize ponies with long hair too enough to style braid ect.
I love TE ponies and the G3 donkey pose has 'grown' on me its ok but im not a super fan of it.
I love megan and molly too.
I love princess ponies and tinsel too.
Though sometimes I like to take a G3 and detinsel them for fun if I think its a pony I really love.
Most often I just leave the tinsel alone.
I love perfume puffs they really know how to rock that fro' lol
even though im not a huge fan of sea ponies I think they are ok.
The only ponies im not too particularly fond of are G3.5s and G2s.

I'm back and forth with myself on this opinion, but sometimes I just wish they would have left My Little Pony alone and not came out with FiM or the G3.5s...or even the G3s.  I think the G2s are endearing in a weird sort of way and work with the original line.  I enjoy liking something that not a lot of people are into or know a ton about...so with the increasing popularity of ponies due to FiM - well - I don't know.  I just wish it'd go back to how it was with the original lines.  While a bigger fan base is cool cause of the different people you can meet - and while there are more pony products emerging which is cool - it's just...I don't know.  Not the same.  I think that's why I've been almost completing converting back to G1s only.  Going back to the roots :)  Just my opinion obviously (which may not be the most popular, clearly, in tying with this thread, lol).  Interesting to read everyone's opinions!  Seems like many of us have unpopular opinions that may have a strand of popularity afterall, lol.

Ok...When the FiM ponies first hit the stores, I detested them.  I did not like Fluttershy's eyes at all.  When you look at them straight on, it looks like there is something *wrong* with them.  Overtime, they have grown on me, and now I buy all of them for my daughters.

I only collect a certain type of pony, but I love looking at everyone's diverse pony collections.  I guess I don't have any negative opinions.

I don't care for Rapunzel at all and feel that Mimic is way over rated.

I adore G1s but think the first Pegasus and unicorn molds could have been skipped. I can't stand the Firefly pose or the Moondancer and Glory poses.

3D symbols really bother me - they look like tumors growing out of the pony's butt. :P
I mean if you imagine a pony coming to life how awkward would it be to have huge protrusions coming off your flanks? Just EWWWWE.

I think some of the flutter ponies looking down at them, look like a frog in the face, a very cute frog, but they do look froggish to me :P

I've always thought they looks as though they had their cheeks stuffed with marshmallows but now that you mention frogs... :P

I mostly like the G4s but don't care for the earth pony eyes. I think they look like they're hopped up on caffeine and and a little insane.

I am really not a fan of accessories. If you are going to give a G4 an animal, make it match up with the show, I mean really, it's not that difficult!

And like someone else said, put the plastic into the PONY SIZE, so we can have G1 sized ponies again!!  The G4 are too little :(

I'm not a big fan of pony clothes, the just look uncomfortable. And I don't like the Quackers pose, it just looks awkward.

Not a fan of flutterponies, they are weird looking.

I LOVE pink! And that includes pink ponies! Yes it can get a little redundant but it makes me so happy!!

Pink ponies are my favourite! Although it would be boring if they were all pink, it's lovely to mix it up a bit with some green and blue :) I wish there was a black pony (playline, not SE).

There are several g1 poses I really don't like >< Gingerbread's in particular.

I prefer g3 over g1, there isn't a single g3 pose I don't like. I prefer the streamlined shape of them.

I liked the 80's MLP cartoon as a child, but re-watching it just makes me cringe. I think it's bad.

I like the g4 size! I didn't at first, and I still need every single fashion style pony for the larger size, but the tinyness has grown on me. I think they're cuter and easier to carry around. I still wish they were cheaper though! I'd take them without the cart and animal friend to save a pound! I think they have some major QC issues, but that's popular opinion :P

I love customs. There's so much talent here, and from an art background using a toy pony as a canvas is fantastic! I love the effort that goes into them, even boy customs. In hindsight I've baited a pony or two that maybe I shouldn't have, but what's done is done, and there are plenty more ponies to go around.

Bronies are AWESOME. I couldn't be more thankful for them, nothing bad can come of having an even bigger adult fanbase. It means that Hasbro will pander to us more. Without them, I'm doubtful we ever would have got a Nightmare Moon toy. Now if only we all shared opinions on everything so we could all push for what we want. I don't mean that in an us-and-them way, bronies are divided amoung themselves on opinions, but what if Hasbro suddenly had a mass demand for a Fluttershy plushie? Everyone wants that.

I think Rapunzel is dull.

I hate ponies with writing on them.  I don't mean "a child scribbled on them", I mean things like the Birthday Twins having "Happy birthday!" written on them or those G3.5s with their names printed on their sides.  No, just NO.

I love the FIM show, but find the G4 toys to be lackluster at best.

I don't think there's any point in dropping hundreds of dollars on mail order Sweet Scoops when Sherbert is pretty much the exact same pony.

The same here.  For one thing, I have such limited space.  And another thing, even sets with accessories that I do like somewhat...I can never seem to get them to look nice.  So I just toss 'em :P 

I thought of a couple more unpopular opinions.  First, I actually REALLY liked those costumes from the World's Biggest Tea Party show.  I want one so badly!

I actually don't mind the G3.5 toys.  I just wish they had made more characters.

I...just don't understand the Rapunzel hype. 

I'm not the world's biggest fan of Twice As Fancy ponies.  They're nice, but a bit too busy for my taste.  However, for some reason, at the same time, I ADORE the Rockin' Beat ponies!  I don't know why though, if any pony's symbols are "busy", it's the Rockin' Beats' :P 

I really don't care for the Precious Pockets ponies.  They're the one set of G1's that I'm not too intent on buying, though I probably will buy maybe one just for fun, who knows...

I actually sort of like G3.5 I found they were actually kind of cute. I think G3.5 and G4 seem to work better as 2D art than a fully fleshed out toy.

I don't understand deflocking G1 So Softs. I loved the one or two So Softs my cousin had when we were kids and wanted one for myself.

I can understand cause...um the feeling of flocking on toys make me sick to my stomach.....ugh just ugh nasteh feeling stuff.

I like G3.5. It wasn't as good as G4, but the Core 7 was cute in its own right. :P

I love G2. Those toys are so cute!

I also love fakies. I have a Princess Rinse'n'Spit and a (customized) Totsy, and they're two of my favorite ponies ever.

I think some (not all, though) Fairy Tails are cuter than ponies. I would probably be more excited about getting a new Fairy Tail than a new pony. ^^;

The only one I can think of is that I LOVE Quackers' pose. That and Posey's pose are my two favorite poses for earth ponies in G1.

Oh, and I have always loved Shady. I used to despise so softs, but after finding some in a thrift store, now I am obsessed with them! So weird.

I love G2s, love the G1 BBE babies, can't stand the G1 ballerinas and really wish the G1 white birthflower ponies had hair that matched their flowers, and that the daffodil on MArch's was.. um... yellow? (I.e, I don't go all "oooooh" about the white birthflower ponies...I like the alternate/nirvana ones, though). And... tinsel/glitter/sparkle/shiny "R" us. :)

Haha at first I was like; a whole pink pony? I already have Pinkie for that!

I don't know if this qualifies as unpopular, but I like the Sunbeam/Moondancer pose. It looks regal to me, not clunky. I've also grown quite fond of the collector's pose.

I recently added some BBEs to my collection (they were in yard sale baggies or some jazz), and they're not that bad. They still aren't among my first choices when it comes to collecting, but if one should surface I probably won't evict it to a lepers' colony. XD

There are several who I LOVE and would like to add to my collection, and another I have "bonded" to from spending so much time cleaning/restoring, but overall they just aren't my favorite.

--I DESPISE My Little Pony Tales!!!
--I can't stand that so many G4s are flawed coming right out of the box.  I am assuming this is an unpopular opinion because of the amount of collectors here telling me "it's not that bad" or "they're only children's toys".  I am perfectly fine with G1s having problems; They're old.  A ton of G4s come out of the box looking like garbage and I'm not having it.  When I buy something that's brand new, I expect it to look nice.  Period.  Anything less than nice gets returned to the store immediately.

-I don't mind hair tinsel
-I like G2's more than G3's and I'm not a G2 collector
-I love how small the G4's are
-I get more excited for the animal friends the G4's come with over the ponies themselves
-I think the G4 blindbag ponies are overrated, they don't even have a proper mold for Fluttershy
-Though I'd prefer them to match, I don't really care when a pony's head doesn't match it's body
-I think Rapunzel is hideous, everything about her has always just seemed off to me
-I think pony fanfiction is odd and refuse to acknowledge fanon names for G4 ponies
-I dislike G1 So Softs and prefer them deflocked
-I think the G1 cartoon is laughably bad. I loved it as a child but I really wish I didn't try re-watching it as an adult, I feel it ruined the nostalgia factor for me.
-I'm not big on MLP accessories and hate when a pony comes with too many
-I'd rather own a rehair/repaint than a pony with ratty "original" hair or scuffed symbols/eyes
-I love the fakie Princess Rinse n' Spit

I am new to the world of collecting ponies even though I have collected them for years so I am not sure how unpopular my opinions are.


-One of my strongest opinions is that the G2 line is worthless. Ponies are supposed to be short and wide. G2s look like horses, tall and skinny. I don't have a single one and probably won't ever have one unless it really is eye catching.


- I love the old 80's cartoons 100% more than FiM.


- I prefer ponies with brushable mane and tail. I don't like the figurines much.


- Even though I buy them, I feel cheated by the standard size of the newer ponies. At least G2s were still full sized.

I guess Tootsie isn't popular? At first I thought she looked fugly in pics. I got her not too long ago and she is much prettier in person. I actually like her. The green color is less icky with the vibrant blue hair. I always thought TAF Buttons was ugly but I've never seen in her in person. I am thinking if I like Tootsie I may liker her better if I actually acquire her.

I am soo creeped out by BBE's, I will never buy one, I've always been scared of them!
My favourite pony pose is Sundance's pose, my least favourite is Cherries Jubilee's pose.
I don't like Gingerbread, Shady's pose, I really dislike it, it's very masculine !

I love F.I.M but I don't want to collect the G4s, although I like them, I adore my G1's too much! xxx

This, SO SO MUCH. I can't STAND it when I get a pony with eyes that are uneven, or anything else like that. It gets to the point where I can't play with a G4 for too long, otherwise I'll start to see flaws that probably aren't even there. D: I get really paranoid about it...

On a completely unrelated note, I don't like the Princess Luna doll. It's not even the fact that she's not show accurate... I just don't like the way they painted her unique eyes while giving her Twilight Sparkle's head mold. You can see the original eye sockets under them, it's SO weird! I'm also not a fan of the glitter or the tinsel.

I adore BBE g1's, I love the g2's and I don't hate the donkey pose.
I actually don't think any pony is 'ugly'
NOTHING IS EVER REALLY A BAIT!
Those 'baits' are just ponies that need a bit more loving. I have had ponies sold to me as 'bait' and I fixed them up in no more then 15 mins each -_-
Snowcatcher is one of my fave non-show g4's, along with starswirl.
My fave show characters are Rarity and Twilight.
I never liked MLP as a child......I also hated barbie dolls...... I only got into ponies last year :D and already have a collection of over 70 ponies from all gens.
I love the 'princess eyebrow ponies' as my friend dubbed them. I own one of them and she sits on my shelf with my dolls looking lovely. Her eye lashes scared me at first, but I grew to love them :)

I'm the same way, I only started collecting ponies last May. I didn't exactly "hate" Barbies as a kid, but I definitely didn't like them as much as I liked Bratz dolls. ^^

I disagree about baits, though... I have a higher tolerance than some to baity ponies, but there are some things that I just can't ignore, like my Sparkler who was full to bursting with brown mold and my Peachy who has a big brown mark of something I can't identify or cover up on her flank. However, a pony being a bait isn't a bad thing -- for me, that means you can breathe new life into them as a custom! :D

I just de-tinseled a Starsong.  Much nicer! 
The Fancy Pants babies are weird.  I found one with half of the paint scratched up.  I just removed the rest, painted on some X's and O's.  Presto!  "hugs and kisses". 
Found a Fashion sized Pinkie that needs new hair.  DD has requested it be blue!  For that matter, she wants the entire pony to be blue.  Do I dare?

I'm not terribly picky over my pony's condition; I think shorter manes often look cute and charming on them. 


Not a big fan of most customs, I find them overdone with rhinestones, apoxie sculpt wings, a bajillion miles of hair and extensive paint work (don't get me started on the bedroom eyes...)  I appreciate the talent, but don't care for the end result.

Here's the biggest irony. I actually don't really like horses that much.

Haha me neither.  I love riding horses--man that's fun...but not wild about the animal really, not even as a kid.  Which made it weird how I fell in love with MLP as a wee lad.

I like the Donkey Pose.  It's very simple.
I don't think the Diva Pose looks too "broken neck;" I think Shell Belle introduced the "broken neck" pose.
G2s are my favorite ponies.
I don't like G3 Pinkie Pie.  Hasbro spammed her too much for me.
Megan's growing on me, but I still think she's a Mary Sue.
