Do you have this pony? Your thoughts? Share some more pics!


FF, concave, I do have her non-nirvana versions...

For the entire month of May I'll be featuring pink/red bodied ponies and also others that are nirvana. I'll continue to dedicate the first few days to birthday ponies in celebration of those born within that month. The last day of the month will be dedicated to a specific play set.

Pass. She's boring  and I don't like that pose.

She's such an iconic pony! I have the CF version and a Mexican ^.^ For the time being I'm happy with these two and not looking for other versions, but I must say the Greek one pictured is stunning!

I like how in the British comic she would always eat everything that had flowers in it.

I just clicked 'have a version', even though I sort of have an unintentional army of them (how many ponies qualify as an army, anyway? I've always wondered), despite never having sought her out. I think there's a tail-less Cotton Candy in just about every bait lot out there, haha. She's a bit dull, but I do think her baby is cute though.

I do have and really like my Hallmark ornament of her.

I have a few versions.  She was one of the first ponies I bought when I started collecting as a teenager.  I have a really dark/bright pink version and I love her colors.  Her symbol doesn’t make sense to me but she’s great.

I’ve said it in another thread: her cutie mark seems simple, but it’s probably the origin of all pony symbols. She’s just a horse with Appaloosa markings, and someone must have said hey, what if we made those markings look like stuff?

I really like this pony. I don't find her dull as others have said - she's in my one of my favourite poses and has such a simple and pretty design! Adore her.

Consequently, I have an army...FF, CF, MO, Italian, Mexi, 25th retro, 35th retro...  :happy:

I have many and all of them a slightly different shade of pink.

Honestly, I love her.  Very iconic and she had a naughty personality.  Cotton Candy was not a little miss perfect despite how she looks. So cute.

Voted 'army' cause I think I have about enough of her to count it as such! :P She's my favourite of the collector ponies, quickly becoming one of my overall favourites too. There's just something about her that I love!

Original (concave foot ver), 25th anniversary (in the back) and 35th ann, plus Baby CC. :D

Don't have a photo of *all* of my CCs (that's on my to-do list) but I also have the Dollymix, Hallmark ornament, World's Smallest, and I got the Funko POP figure the other day. :> I love Cotton Candy!!

I think I've thrifted/antique'd/etc more Cee-Cees than any other G1 pony. I even saw one leave a Goodwill in a kid's hands a few years back...

...Not one of them was FF. I had to buy a FF at a meet.

I have her (the darker coloured version, and also the big plush that was released last year!), and I absolutely adore her. She's super cute and pretty and overall, one of my fave G1s for sure!

Erm. A few. Sister has a small army of them. I think she has more than I do. But I know I have a couple of regulars, a FF and an Italian, plus baby. Maybe a couple of Nirvana babies. I'm trying to think if I have more than one Italian. I know I have one, but I feel like there are a few versions. More likely most of those are Naynie's though.

Sister has a Macau Candy she got from the carboot sale here, she has CANDY written on her hoof which is interesting because we got it before anyone online was talking about the Macau names.

She also has the BF one as well as her small army of regulars and Italians.

im unsure but I think she was my first pony with others to eventually parade through my door. Once I had one they had to have friends. I have her and her baby :) I think my daughter has her baby and her but im unsure.

I picked army because I feel CC is my accidental army pony. :lol:   It seems she creates more copies of herself when I'm not looking and before I knew it a small army had appeared.

I have my childhood CC, flatfoot CC another CC that was a RAOPK, Baby CC, 2 BF CC's and the Hallmark ornament.

She's really cute! While double pink coloured ponies aren't generally my top favourite colour scheme, I'd still love to have her, as she's a pretty iconic pony! Well... I do technically have her in some form, but it's one of those big w exclusive plushes. While it is adorable, I don't really count that in the same sense I'd count a brushable version!

I have several of the 1980s concave foot variety, each with a slightly different eye color...not sure what that means?

I also have a rehair I made (who is for sale if you need a rehair Cotton Candy in your life):

I also have her baby version who is awaiting a rehair, and I used to have her plush but that unfortunately stayed in England when I moved.

SunPony your rehair could  very well be related to G3 Cotton Candy!!!

I have her and I love her. She was my childhood pony, I actually like her more now. I have looked for the 'right' Cotton Candy, with nice plastic and good long tail. Some of them are a bit of a strange colour and I'm not sure whether that's due to plastic breakdown or whether they were always like that. I think the flat footed version was a lighter, sweeter pink colour and possibly there is variation between the releases of CF ponies as well. Ditto the variations in eye colour. I've ended up with a small army. I also have the nightie case too.

She was my first pony (along with Applejack, Bow Tie, and Lemon Drop; I got them all on Christmas with the Show Stable) and I still have her.

I have the 35th anniversary version of her and her baby but she’s away from my other ponies because she has some weird dirt inside of her

I have her and a baby form, and recently got the mail order pearly baby one I have zero interest in.
