Do you have him? What do you think of him? Share some more pics!


I've always thought of this one as a male. He's much darker than blue Ember. We all have ponies that in our heads may not conform to the correct gender (and it gets you all talking, I love it!). Plus, look at how awesome he looks with his special order brothers!

I would LOVE to have the game, so I wouldn't mind if he ended up in my collection :)

Didn't know he was a boy. I would like to have him, he's a cute little guy. I could see Rosette being his mom.

I go for boy with this one. The colors are so dark and masculine in my opinion.

The poll is now gender neutral, lol.

Seems like a boy to me too, he's new to me and I really love that deep shade of blue! If I ever stumble across him, he'll be more than welcome to a home with me. What a little cutie! :heart:

I do she by default for ponies, but I could see either way! She's pretty cute, but I don't have her yet!

I'm now wondering if there is anything official that gives us a gender for this pony! I always assumed a girl because of the pose vs the bulkier poses for Lucky and Clipper, and it tends to be much later in MLP that boys are in girl poses (generalising but you know what I mean, like baby schoolbag and Sportstime...)

But the pony wasn't sold here...we had the game as a comic pull out but nothing about the pony. So I now really want to know whether Baby Blue Ribbon was marketed as a girl or a boy?

(Of course everyone is free to make their own preferences. My rule is to gender my ponies on the official stance where possible...does anyone know? Is there a flier or something?)

Ah, now you understand why I wing it sometimes with my polls! Voting we just unanimously call this one a boy because we really need more boy ponies in the G1 line...

Huh. I've always heard him referred to as a boy, so that's probably why I see him that way, but I swear there was something official.

I read a G. M. Berrow G4 book (Applejack & the Secret Diary Switcheroo) in which Blue Ribbon appeared as a stallion in charge of giving out prizes to the best apple farm. I decided it was a shout-out to G1, though I suppose it could just be coincidence :)

No gender in Baby Blue Ribbon's Mail Order leaflet: http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/G1_Pamphlets_and_Media#Blue_Ribbon_and_the_Adventures_in_Ponyland_Game

This one's a girl to me :) I admit I just go with the "official" gender and assume female if there's no evidence to suggest they're a boy though, haha.

I reeeeeeally want her! She's sooo cute, I love her simple colour scheme + symbol. And OH she looks so cute with Lucky... I need them both now! They make such cuuute siblings! :lovey:

I have this pony. Though I think of it is a girl. I think the game they came with was cute but I do not have it.

@Shaz, thanks for posting that link. I guess then it's up to the people collecting :)

I'm going with her pose so mine is a girl because of that - but it seems Hasbro genuinely don't have a preference so I guess the him/her option on the poll is now the most correct ;)

I mean, Baby Schoolbag is definitely a boy, and in the UK, Sniffles from Sniffles and Snookums is also a boy, though those are both "female" poses. So yeah....it's not an exact science.

(I am pretty sure I have at least one book where AJ is male in one print and female in the reprint...maybe Bubbles too, possibly...)

I don't have him yet, but he's somewhere towards the top of my want list.  Love the colour and symbol, he's just so cute!
