Title: All the G3 Love
Post by: Zapper on March 10, 2014, 10:45:20 AM
As of late I'm on a G3 trip, I don't even know why. I never wanted any G3s except for Minty, but then I suddenly fell in love with Autumn Skye when I saw her on ebay. Now I'm all over them! My little collection contains four Minties, Autumn Skye, Desert Rose and both versions of Merriweather - more additions to the herd are planned.

Despite the lack of unicorns and pegasi I really enjoy the variation. Some of the poses are so endearing and horsey, their bodies are round and strong. I have the feeling only G1 and G3 were able to pull off the "pony" in My Little Pony, that's why I look at G3 as little sisters to the G1s. They have so many similarities to G1 without being copies.

Let this be a thread full of love for G3. Share your G3 collection, tell me what your favorites are and why (photos welcome!) My current favorite is still Autumn Skye. I have a thing for nature symbols and her colors make me think of sunny afternoons in early fall (my favorite time of the year) <3

I do have a lot of G3s but most of them are packed up right now to save some space. But man, did they have some cool variety and neat playsets!

Here's my all time favorite G3:

She IS beautiful  :biggrin:

My favorite is probably Seaspray:

She is just so vibrant, both her colors and her pose, and I do like aquatic themes :)

And I agree that the G3s look like "little sisters" to the G1 ponies.  They do look rather similar!

Anchors Away and Seaspray would look amazing together. Love them both. Too bad Anchors is so hard to get. She's a grail of mine :inlove:

My appreciation for G3 has grown and grown over the years. When they first hit shelves, although I though "yay new ponies", I will admit to not being overly passionate about them. But with G4 and such a limited line at the moment not to mention just looking at the sheer variety and creativity that went into the early years, they have quickly grown to be my second favourite generation and one I really enjoy collecting :)

I started off not really in love with g3, but then after cleaning some up, I fell hard for them....hard for me to say what one is my favorite, I love so many of them.....

I'm kind of like you. I wasn't into G3s. In fact, I only own 1 I found at Goodwill. But, I've been slowly warming to them. I really want April Mist right now. For some reason, I love ponies with Umbrellas.

I love G3s. I have about 50 in my collection here, and a box of them at my boyfriend's house. I wish there were more unicorns, but I like that there's plenty of variety in the poses. I think I like the color combos the most though.

I have a hard time picking favorites, mostly I really like white, blue, and green ponies. Silly Sunshine, Moondancer, Minty, Marshmallow Coco... I could go on.  :P

And so jelly of that Tink a Too elish. XD

I G3 ponies also. Yes they do remind me a lot of the G1 ponies. I do still remember the day that I saw my first G3 pony in the store! I was walking threw the toy isle just to see what was there. I was not looking for any ponies and I came upon them!!! I could not believe my eyes! I had to get them all!!!! That was when the very first ones came out and they also had the Moondancer set. I was pretty broke back then just moving out of my parents house into my husbands at the time. But all I knew was that I had to have them all. I worked very hard and sold some things so I could get me some G3 ponies! :) Man was I a happy camper and looked them up on the internet. Later on into the G3 ponies I had a hard time keep up with all the new ones coming out. I did my best and was always so happy to see new ones every few months. Yes to G3 ponies!!!!

Most of my pony collection is NIB G3 ponies. I did have a lot more Lose one but sold a lot of them off. I would like to get them again someday but in there packages.

It does make me sad to see on some sites were the G3 ponies are put down. People have to remember that G3 ponies are the reason why we went threw the G3.5 ones and now have the G4 ones. So we do all need to be thankful for them even if you don't collect them. 

I have pictures of all my ponies on the link below on facebook :)

I think the G3 toys look really good, and had a lot of innovativ gimmicks that made them unique. There were just soooo many characters who never got thier proper chance in the apolight, though! And I wish there had been a fiesta flair toy... :(

I'm not a big fan of G3 ponies, some of them have really cool designs though, I wish they had more variety like G1 though. Anyways I have a couple left for sale if anyone is interested.

Oh sorry Zapper, I was just stating my opinion I do think they have some really cool ponies for sure in the toyline, but in my opinion I still prefer G1 and G4. And just posted that in case anyone wanted them :)

Post by: Sparkle Pony on March 11, 2014, 11:59:49 AM
Oh boy,  a thread for my favorite toy generation!  I love the colors on G3s, the variety without getting too gimmicky, and they're super cheap too!  I think it is really interesting how bold some of the ponies were.  Usually MLP plays it same and takes the pink and pastel route, but G3 has ponies from vibrant aqua with bright orange hair to bright yellow with deep pink hair.  I'm a real sucker for colors honestly.

Negative opinions about G3s are okay but the positive ones should outweigh them to keep with the theme of the thread ;)

G3 has ponies from vibrant aqua with bright orange hair to bright yellow with deep pink hair.  I'm a real sucker for colors honestly.

While a lot of the ponies were pink in G3 I also noticed some had very bold colors. Applejack baffled me the most because they could have gone with her G1 design as they still held the copyright for her, but they went with this delicious red and green. You almost want to take a bite :lol:

I ADORE G3s. :) I was 10 when they came out & I was so excited by the new artwork & characters.
I wanted Sparkleworks sooo badly, but my parents wouldn't let me have any because I was 'too old' for ponies. ¬_¬   I used to linger around the pony aisles every time we went shopping, checking out the new releases.
As an adult collector, I've now gone crazy buying all the G3s I wanted back then.  :lol:
My favourites are Butterscotch, Autumn Skye, Cherry Blossom, Daisy Jo, Kiwi Tart, Mistletoe & Wishawhirl to name a few.
Looks like I need to do a spot of pony photography...  :biggrin:

Post by: Ariadna on March 11, 2014, 05:50:51 PM
I started collecting G3 when I moved out of home (parents do not approve of adults collecting toys :P) but I hit the end of it when every new release that came out was the core 7, so I have a lot of Pinkie Pies, Scootaloos, Toola Roolas, etc :P Though so far my favourite has to be Autumn Skye! I want her so badly! She is stunning colour wise <3

I adore G3, I grew up with G1 ponies (mostly from years 9 and 10, again the end of it) and the G3's reminded me so much of G1, especially with variety of characters. I love how bright many of the G3's are :lovey:

One day soon I will get my enormous box of G3's out of storage and share photos of them :)

All the love for G3s. They got me into pony collecting as an adult and active here at the Arena. Good memories. I currently still have two, G3 Apple Jack and a custom pony (think she started life as a Banjo Blue.

What I loved and still do was the variety of colors and characters. Till the line oozed into the 3.5 reboot days.

I do love G3, I kinda accidentally got into collecting them, but I love them so much. They are so pretty and vibrant. I have quite a few now and my favorite ones are any of the ones with the leg patterns and the divine shine clear, glittery ones.  I know there has been a lot of negativity towards the "bore 7" ponies, but I love all their multiple releases; Henna/eyeshadow ponies, Inspirational ponies, name on leg ponies love em all :heart:

And of course.........some pics :D

I love G3's :heart: they came out when I was in high school and I was too scared to buy any. My favourite are the winter ponies. I have a few MIB's, but no pictures at the moment.

I wish I could go back in time and be able to buy G3's from the shops. ^_^

Houston, your multi-generation collection looks amazing! I like how the G3s hang out with the G4s and I had to stare at your Star Catcher army. Any reason why she is your army pony?

That's another thing I love about G3 - the box art. G4's box art is so static and always the same generic vectors. The G3 box art was really cute. I wish the cartoon specials would have looked like that.

LOVE G3s! Even though G1s were my childhood ponies, it was G3s that made me collect ^.^ I got down all my childhood G1s from the attic and started collecting G1s and G3s!

I have 200 G3s and my first ones were Fluttershy and Strawberry Swirl :)

My favorite G3s are Shenanigans and Rainbowberry and all the birthflowers! :hearts:

How can you MiB collectors stand to leave them in their boxes? :lol:

Well most of my G3s are loose :biggrin: I do like the look of MIB ones (especially with accessories because it displays them better I think) There were some I planned on keeping MIB that I just couldn't resist opening though ;)

G3s are my favourite! They came out when I was 7 so they're my childhood ponies, and now they make up the bulk of my collection at nearly 200! I love the effort that went into their eyes, each having two colours, sometimes more! And a little shaped highlight to add even more personality. G3 will always be my favourite. :happy:

I have the feeling only G1 and G3 were able to pull off the "pony" in My Little Pony


I super agree with this!!!!

I love horses and for me the G3s are the most similar to them  ;)


So, G3 is my fave gen now. When I was a kid I collected G2s, the G3 arrived when I was in the high school, and I didn´t collect those years, but the past year I started to collect them. I also have 5 G4s because I love to make families and they look good as sons of the G3s, maybe I aslo should buy G1s as parents of the G3s lol

And also the drawing style of the G3 tv cartoons are my fave ;)


My faves are white ponies, and if I have to choose only one maybe it would be Denim Blue. I see Denim as a boy pony (and also Star Carcher, Mistletoe, PeriWinkle are boys for my eyes lol), and I just love his face expression ♥


If you want to see pictures of my ponies you have a LOT in my tumblr and web site (links on my signature)  :P  :lol:

Yay, I love G3! Like many others, it's the generation that made me start collecting! I was 13 when they came out and I started collecting pretty much immediately and haven't stopped.

I had a little G3 photo shoot today. I will probably do some more tomorrow if we have decent sunlight - these girls are just fabulous to photograph! Just a few beauties from my ever growing G3 collection:

Oh gosh! This cutie is doing the horse lip thing. You know, the thing they do when you itch their itchy spot and their lip quivers. G3 made a pony doing that? Just more proof that G3 is fantastic and actually represent the "pony" in MLP.

Ah, remember back in 2005 and there were soooo many different G3 characters in stores we complained we couldn't keep up?

We didn't know when we were well off.

I remember squealing when I saw my first G3. Love them.

I have five new cuties on their way to me. Two of them MiB no less! And one of them an exclusive I never saw here in Germany. So happy :biggrin:

That means my herd now looks like this: Autumn Skye, Wysteria (Cascade version), four Mintys, two Merriweathers, Crystal Crown, Pretty Pop, Spring Treat, Desert Rose, Shell-Belle, Flower Wishes and Bashful Bonnet.
I really need to take pictures! 15 G3s and there's still room for more :lol:

I love G3! I have the most G3s than anything because they're way more common and cheaper. I usually buy them secondhand at the flea market and they're always really messed up. I like fixing them up though.

I don't personally collect them but my sister has some, I washed three today for her and they were Dance Slippers,  Flower Garland and Daisy May

They were a pleasure to wash, going to get the acetone on one and then I'll snap photos.

Oooh I love G3 and don't tell G1 but I'm pretty sure it's my favorite gen.  I am a G3 collector with a few G1s (mostly my poor dirty childhood ponies) and a very tiny amount of G4 thrown in.

Anyway I grew up with G1 and to me that is MLP.  So when G3 (didn't know about G2) came out that looked similar to G1 they brought me right back to my childhood and made me warm and fuzzy.  I started collecting them when they first came out, but missed the last couple of years due to stupid life issues.  So I haven't been actively collecting ponies since 2006 :(.  Then the G4s came out and I'm sorry but they aren't the ponies I know.  They are just so odd looking haha.  So a few weeks ago I got my ponies out of the boxes and started cleaning them, sell off the ones I don't like.  Of course I remembered why I loved them in the first place and I already have a few G3s on the way, so much for trying to down size  :blush:

I even bought a few G4.  That's staying that way.  I'm a little bit disappointed that they are smaller than my G3s for pretty much the same price.

I will get updated pics of my set up, but here are some old ones.

I love G3s, mainly because I have so many great collecting memories! G1 was my first love, but G3 fuelled my crazy collecting years  :satisfied:

I was working at a toy store back when G3s were first announced, & was lucky enough to go to the UK trade fair in 2003 & got to see all the prototypes. This was before anyone had seen anything of the new toys, so it was pretty exciting stuff- if only I could have taken photos!

I met so many fantastic collectors through G3... I lost count of the number of Winter Snows I traded for US ponies! I even managed to discover someone living 30 mins away from me through stalking my local TRU- someone who is now a very good friend in real life :) But so many good memories! The excitement of nearly always having a pony parcel in the post & the amazing deals I found, like Caribbean Delight & Beach Belle for retail on eBay. The mad dash to TRU or Woolworths to grab new ponies or going to Asda every night for a week because I knew they were restocking!

Impossible to pick a favourite, I'll have to come back to you on that one  :lol:

My G3 loves started with Breezies, but quickly grew from there! My favorite G3 probably is Mochanut, she is just so cute!

You know, I don't know what that mountain is from. I've been told it was from a lego set of some sort, but I can't verify that with any certainty as I got it at a garage sale.

Winter ice and Northern Lights have to be my favorite winter babies <3

kissthethunder, gorgeous hair on those! I started out re-collecting g1. I had over 1,000 ponies in my collection, including all the US mailorders except 3 (pearly babies...never finished them), and many Nirvanas.

I had to sell them when I got divorced years back, but I actually enjoy my newer cheap, large g3 collection more. I like the colors, the poses and the imagination they used. The playsets are ehh and you tend to lose pieces and break them easier (daughter tested them out, lol), but the ponies themselves are the sh*t.

Post by: Colorscapesart on March 22, 2014, 11:01:19 AM
I love all gens, but G3s got me back into ponies and they are definitely my fav!  I used to have all but about 30 of them then downsized to a good 150 or so of my favs (lol!) I still have every yellow G3 and I want to finish out the babies.  G3 customs are my specialty and fav.  The are a tad more elegant than G1s and still a lovely horse feel to them.  The variety is fab!

A lot of my G3s are boys in my herd!  I have families and storylines, I even staged a large pony wedding with my daughters!
