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

I have had a few of her cross my paths over time. Never kept any for very long though...

Post by: Leave a Whisper on September 27, 2019, 07:05:35 AM: I used to have the version of her that came in a 4-pack with Star Dasher, Denim Blue and Sparkleworks. I intend to get her back.

I thrifted her! I think if it was just her I may have left the bag behind, but she came with molded wing Starcatcher. She's one that I feel like I have a lot of but I don't actually have any other versions of-
No, wait, I do. Her walking pose. Nevermind.

Post by: freezestime on September 27, 2019, 07:54:35 AM: Don't have her as a G3 or G4, never came across her in the wild but see her all the time online.

Post by: LadyMoondancer on September 27, 2019, 08:23:16 AM: I got this pony before any of the G3 specials came out. I immediately decided he was male and a stoner. :P

I'm disappointed they downplayed her daring nature, which was originally part of her character (on her backcard).

But I was even more disappointed when Core 7 came along and they changed her voice to a generic little-girlish voice, which I assume was due to Hasbro's new marketing kick saying "My Little Ponies are not ponies, they are six year old girls." I assume her fabulous Zsa Zsa Gabor voice was deemed too "mature." They even redubbed her with the new voice when they released the previously made specials!

They did? I didn't know they did that. I thought it was cute that she always said "Darling" at the end of every sentence in the G3 specials.

Hey, can I ask what that big green looking rainbow Dash is? The one with the weird neck?
Title: Re: POTD 9/27/19 Rainbow Dash (G3)
Post by: Leigh_Lu on September 27, 2019, 10:44:14 AM: I have the G3 version, that I won in the Halloween coloring contest about a decade ago. She's very sweet. I'll get photos of her later.

Meanwhile the only other version of Rainbow Dash we have is this one.

My son discovered Friendship is Magic on Netflix, and we found this one and Pinkie Pie at a resale shop. Her tail has frizzed out at the bottom to the nth degree, but we couldn't see it the way she was bagged. He loves her though, and was offended when I suggested getting an upgrade.

Post by: MerryAnvil on September 27, 2019, 11:02:00 AM: I have waaaaay too many G4 Rainbow Dash things to gather up and show off, so I'll just share my G3 Rainbow Dash stuff!

Just got this version yesterday! She's the Year One version. I had her when I was little too, got her from a retail store, but she was a victim of the 'End of Childhood Purge'. Glad to have her back!

My sister gave me this one. She came with one of the various 'dress-up' type sets, but I can't recall which. I probably still have her accessories somewhere.

When I was little I used to have the G3 keychain (it was beat up almost beyond the point of recognition because I took it everywhere with me on my backpack) but I'm not sure what happened to her. Hmm!

That's a bottle of bubble bath. XD The body is hard plastic (and hollow) and the head is soft plastic, so they don't quite match. You take the head off to pour out the bubble bath. XD

Post by: Snuzzle76 on September 27, 2019, 02:53:39 PM: She was my daughter's favorite so we have one or two G3 versions and a bunch of G4s, plushies, etc.

I don't like the new one as much. I'd love a rebooted RD to be like her again!

Yes, that one! And that makes a lot of sense! Cheers!

Of course I have lots of G4s of her. I had her G3 self as a kid. My mom bought four ponies one day, two were to go to someone else for her birthday, and two were mine. I chose Sunny Daze and Wysteria, and Rainbow Dash and the other pony went to the other girl. Rainbow Dash was the last pony I needed to complete my Rainbow Celebration set. :P

I also have her Dollymix and Styling versions, and two Ponyvilles (huh, could've sworn I had more than that). Heh, I selected "army" but it turns out I have less than I thought... Not sure how many G4 Dashes I have. Um... many. x)

Post by: Taffeta on September 29, 2019, 10:43:03 AM: My first G3 pony. I graduated with her in July 2003. She had a little cap and gown and everything. I chose her because my original first pony (Windy) was a rainbow pony xD.

Little did I know what Hasbro would later turn her into >< BUT I still like the G3 one :D

I think I only have one version.

I haven't yet found the photos of her in graduation getup.
Title: Re: POTD 9/27/19 Rainbow Dash (G3)
Post by: Sora on September 29, 2019, 11:45:45 AM: Have her! A few different versions, just the usual common ones though.

Post by: Shaymin568 on October 01, 2019, 04:08:34 PM: I recall obsessing over obtaining her as a child until we found her in a Walmart. (To be even more specific, we found the Picnic Time with Rainbow Dash set). I managed to get 4 of her G3 versions as a collector.

Thanks! :) I'm not sure if I see my RD/RR as a mum/baby pair or not (gotta think about it) but they do match each other quite nicely, don't they? ^^ Matching ponies together is one of my favourite things about collecting. :lovey:

Post by: Cristar on October 10, 2019, 02:54:05 PM: I have the classic Core 7 version, I think it's the version which came with a book and/or a DVD (I found her loose, at fleamarket)... At the beginning of third generation I absolutely wanted the first graysh-blue version, but I never found her! ...Her italian name is Colorella :lol:

Those bubble bath bottles are terrible!! I have three versions: Pinkie Pie, Wysteria and Star Catcher (with blue attached wings)... But they all have some problems: mismatch color heads (and prone to fading) and poor quality hair that becomes easily frizzy... >_<
