Title: Let’s Discuss: Star Dancer!
Post by: Mana Minori on August 25, 2020, 12:55:30 AM
While there may be a Stardancer in g1, I want to discuss Star Dancer- a pony who debuted in g4’s “My Little Pony: the Manga- A Day in the Life of Equestria” (volume 1). She has actually been around for quite some time, and it was only very recently that she got an official color pallet reveal by one of the official artists working on it. I think she is downright adorable, and I may have a bias toward celestial themed and named ponies, but she really is super cute!
She first gets introduced by Pinkie Pie, when she meets Princess Celestia. And her dialogue and body language instantly raises some red flags. Liiiiike....IS SHE TRULY A SPACE PONY?!?! A lost member of the g1 Celestial ponies? Hmm, quite suspicious.

Anyway, what do you guys think of this Star Dancer character? She’s so adorable- I really would have liked to see her as a brushable, personally.

I never knew a pony manga existed, even! I'm no huge FiM fan, but I totally want to read this. is it out in book format, or just online? it's super cute!
And star dancer is adorable! then again, I'm biased toward yellow-with-purple-hair ponies :silly:

Aww she's adorable! I'm also a huge sucker for space-themed ponies and a brushable would be so cute.

it’s official, and there are 3 volumes in book format. Can find them at Barnes n Noble and Amazon. First one came out in June 2019.

you can read a few chapters on YouTube, but I couldn’t find anything after the first few. Definitely gonna start saving for all three volumes though.

I have been entertaining the idea of doing that, too! And I just got some baits, so I’m definitely gonna!

A custom of her would be quite cute, I'd like to see pictures!

I never knew about her until now.  I kind of wish she'd kept the black hair.

I'm into the concept of ponies from space. (I see the original Star Dancer and her sparkle friends as being from outer space thanks to Star Hopper). I'm also on board for any yellow ponies. I'd want a brushable if it was in the original G4 style, but the cat demon Pony Life molds can ruin a pony no matter how pretty the color scheme.

given her debut in 2019 in the comics, I really think she would’ve been released as a regular FiM style pony- not in the movie style, but the standard FIM molds before that. That would have been really cute. I cannot see her in the PL style at all.

Pretty color scheme!

I'm really digging her color combo - body, hair, and symbols.  That soft yellow with the deep but not bright purple is just lovely together.

I think she'd make a pretty cute custom G1 or G3 pony, or maybe an early G4 (sorry I'm just not a fan of the current sculpt.)  I think her aesthetic fits G3 the best.

I've been meaning to give the mlp manga a try but I didn't know about her until now. She's cute!

I don't know why but she kind of reminds me of Ember

I did some digging on this cutie bean, and found a massive summary of the Volume 2 Manga which has Star Dancer having a much bigger part! Apparently, she’s the henchman to an evil villain that is arch nemesis to Doctor Whooves, and she is a time travel pony from the distant future. And she has a criminal record! What a twist! I know I shouldn’t, but love her so much more, knowing this. (Of course, the craft pony of her that just joined my herd will be given her own backstory separate from this pony comic)

That manga style really makes them look even more like people heads plopped onto a tiny horse body :lol:

Omg, that's true! The humanoid headshape and the short mane, I can see it :cool:

Err, ok? It was just an observation.
