I love newborn twins. If I was a rich person with a huge house I swear this is a set I would track down every single release MIB :P Just because.

Since you only allowed one vote (?!?!?!?!?!?!?) I went with Nibbles and Dibbles as I wanted them from age 5 when they first appeared in the pony comic and I never, ever had them. I am not sure but I have a hazy memory of maybe seeing them on a store end cap once, but I'm not sure. I never had them anyway.

I love that they have their own poses unique to all the others and I love that pose, it's adorable.

<---UK box. Not their original one.

 I didn't debox them xD. The box came with most accessories but no ponies O.o.

Nibs and Dibs in the UK comic (along with Sniffles and Snookums) came to life from a drawing thanks to Baby Lucky's magic. Another weird case of how ponies came to be in G1 ponyland ;)

Those were the only 2 pairs we had from this release in the UK. We were meant to have Jangles and Tangles too, they're in Hasbro's booklet,but they were pulled for some reason? I dunno o.O.

The other pair I would've clicked is Milkweed and Tumbleweed. I always liked them as a kid too, even though they were never sold here. Because I had the VHS of Ice Cream Wars and watched it over and over, I thought they were cute. Was very excited to discover that they actually existed somewhere :D

Fun trivia fact: Sniffles was a boy in the UK. He's therefore the only official unicorn boy in G1. But only in the UK ;)

I chose Nibbles and Dibbles - they were some of the first G1s I ever bought. Dibbles stayed in a box for a while because of her hair though.

Milkweed and Tumbleweed are pretty cute though!

Definitely Nibbles/Dibbles and Noodles/Doodles. Nood/Dood have a cute color scheme going on, not to mention Nibs/Dibs are tiny pegasus babies! How cute is that?

I am a sucker for unicorn ponies, so Sniffles and Snookums!  Sadly I only have sniffles!
The new born twins are seriously adorable, there poses, and the well scuplted faces make them small and cute (vs. those teeny ponies which look bizzare imo)

How can I choose between Milkweed and Tumbleweed and Sniffles and Snookums?  :shrug:

I think I'm going to have to pick Milkweed and Tumbleweed because I really liked them in "The Prince and the Ponies"

I picked Nood/Dood because I love their color combo and they seem so sweet to me, plus I had a great time reuniting them after finding them separately in the wild. I also like Milkweed and Tumbleweed. I didn't realize Nibbles and Dibbles are so popular!

I think it makes a difference that Nibs and Dibs were sold in more places than some of the other twinsets in this group. It's a relative choice anyway. Personally I love all of these twinsets xD.

That was so hard, I love all the newborn twin sets so much! I think that's the only set I've completed. I almost chose Milkweed and Tumbleweed because they are my childhood babies but I really love Sniffles and Snookums so had to pick them.

And for fun, here's a big group photo. Missing Jabber and Jebber (I didn't have them yet when I took this). And missing Sleep Tight and Sleepy Head from the photo but I have them, they were childhood ponies as well.

Nibbles and Dibbles are very popular! They're my favourites too. I bought a Mexican Dibbles with no eyes, then spent three years trying to track down a sister for her. I finally found one! Nibbles has eyes, but she's a factory error with no tail or tail-hole. Love my little misfit babies :lovey:

Sniffles and Snookums for me.  I adore Snookum’s pose.  Plus, they were childhood ponies.

I love them all so it's hard to choose! I went with Nibbles and Dibbles because they are the first ones I ever got, while the others were all my childhood friend's ponies. Eventually, I got all the others online. Milkweed and Tumbleweed and Rattles and Tattles are also favorites of mine. As a kid, for some reason I read Dibbles name as Dribbles! I love the newborn twins!

Hard to choose since my sister and I had Doodles and Noodles and Dibbles and Nibbles during our childhood....  :wonder:

I chose Jangles and Tangles - because I really like their colors. But Dibbles/Nibbles were really close as I adore that pose! They do get a lot of love those two :heart:

I went with Nibbles and Dibbles, but I may be biased since they were part of my childhood pony collection. I thought their little wings were so cute! I also had the newborn pony Yo-Yo, also a pegasus with tiny darling wings so the three of them were all best friends.

Noodles and Doodles! My first of that set. I put a lot of work into cleaning them after a friend gave them to me. I hope to get more Newborn Twins because they are so gosh darn cute!

I did not know this. How amazing.  :lovey:

I have a newborn twins story!

When I'd go visit family in Kansas in the summer we'd always go to this AMAZING antique store to look for ponies.  One summer I found Nibbles, but there was no sign of Dibbles.  Over Christmas that year we were again visiting family and my favorite uncle took all us kids up there to look around.  I found Dibbles!  She was in an antique crane game machine with a bunch of other random small trinkets.  Favorite uncle asked the store owner if he could take out the pony for me, and the man insisted the entire thing had to be bought together, to the tune of like $1000!  Uncle insisted that was ridiculous, plus what was someone in the market for a crane game going to do with a plastic horse besides throw it away?  The owner was adamant, and finally my uncle said, "Fine. I hope a plastic horse is worth being banned from my restaurant."  Uncle owned the most popular place in town (an institution since 1967!), so the owner fished out the pony and gave her to me for a buck. 

In retrospect it wasn't cool for Uncle to threaten the guy over a pony, but I was like 12 and at the time it was awesome.

Your uncle is awesome.
