Title: Has Potion Nova grown on anyone?
Post by: Mana Minori on August 04, 2020, 11:57:06 PM
It has been a few months since Potion Nova got her Pony Life brushable released, and since then, she has also been given a blind bag toy. And just a few days ago, she was given her first appearance in the Pony Life episodes. So with two toys and a few animated appearances under her belt, I have to wonder- has Potion Nova grown on anyone since then? Do the people who fell for her early, right when her first toy was released still feel the same way about her as they did, then? Do you think a measly two toys- a brushable and a blind bag- is all we will get with this pony?

Personally, I still adore the crap out of this girl. I am still quite pleased with the backstory and character that I gave her. And even though it doesn’t match the character Hasbro has given her on the show, since then, I don’t want MY Nova to change. I still absolutely detest her stupid screen-printed eyes, though, and that is my only beef with this ridiculously adorable pony.

But what are you guys’ thoughts on Potion Nova, now that she has been around for a few months?

Well, I don't like her toy so I don't have that. Do you know in which episode she did first appear?
Maybe I'll like her on screen character. more then her off screen one.

To be honest, I think I always liked her in terms of looks - at least in cartoon and fanart form.  I don't know enough about her as a character in either show or toyline, and haven't seen Pony Life in full at all yet, but I'm sure I always liked the look of her.

I have always liked her colors, symbol, theme and name. I cannot stand the reveal the magic mould. It is the most hideous iteration of MLP ever made and I hate Hasbro for further deforming the brand. I'm considering getting a custom made. Maybe I'll use a beat up, symbolless Baby Moondancer

I love her design! Just can't stand the mould, sadly. I'd like her much better as an original style g4.

I don't have any strong feelings on her either way... She's just "there" for me. Her name's stupid, but lol she's hardly the first pony to have a stupid name.

I think she's pretty. When I first saw her which was as the toy, I think I thought she was Sweetie Belle at first due to also being a white unicorn with a pink and purple mane but I did notice her mark was different.

I was thinking Gingerbread and Precious Gem.  ^.^

I like her a lot more now that she's been in PL. I love her design and her personality.

I have the toy as she's the new character and thus my token PL collection addition.

Otherwise, I've not paid her any attention.

I've liked her from the beginning. She's cute.

I didn't know she's in the show now!?! Anyone have links? :D

I'm not sure who she is...I hear her name on here a lot, but I'm not familiar with her character. Is she a FiM character, or just Pony Life? I only made it to maybe season 3 or 4 of FiM, so if she appears after that, I wouldn't have seen her.

This. I got her just for the novelty because I like to be able to say I have at least one of every gen lol (missing a g3.5 but there's only one I would want) but otherwise... No I really don't like her, lol.
I like her character design but I am on the side of finding the Pony Life ponies really ugly honestly. And I'm not in to the show so that doesn't really do it for me, either.

Also with her name, I agree it's an odd one. I keep thinking about it and wracking my brain, is it meant to be play on words or something and it's just going over my head...? Lol.
It SOUNDS like it should be but it's not.
