Star Catcher is a bit of a...............Normie Pony. Like anyone who's asked who their favourite G3 is, she's usually in the top spot. Tbf I was ALL over her as a kid when she first came out, because of her goddess-like presence and the fact she wasn't an earth pony
As an adult I don't find her to be as special. However, the SC toy used in the little pamphlet that came Friendship Ball ponies? Beautiful. Maybe it's the lighting, maybe it really is coloured differently but I love the darker colours. She looks more ethereal. STILL on the topic of SC I prefer the one with the foil wings to the regular pegasus release. Giving her normal wings and no body patterns definitely makes her even LESS special.
G3 pegasuses in general I don't like. It's not because of the wings (I think they're cute) or the designs of the pegasuses released, it's the pose, or lack thereof. It's only one pose!!!! You could say, "Oh there's two poses" but no, there is not!!! It's the same pose, just mirrored!! And it's not very interesting either.
The Fizzy Pop pose is underrated. She's so playful and pouncy!!! I like the walking (Pinkie Pie) pose too, because of how small it makes the pony look.
This kinda goes back to "I like the dark SC better than the official release", and it's not really an unpopular opinion probably, but I wish there were more ponies with muted or darker colourschemes. There's a lot you can do with black, brown, and grey! I'd especially love to see grey ponies, since I think grey is an underrated colour in general. It looks good with all sorts of colours! And black and brown have a lot of design potential too ofc. I'm hoping we get brushables of the longma in the G5 concept arts, I LOVE the idea of having glowing optic fiber dragon ponies (dragon ponies I'd love, period, but them being neon is the best possible outcome). And they all have dark bodies with bright glowing horns and features, they're so pretty!!!
Finally, I'm surprised it's taken Hasbro this long to give us ponies with markings. Ponies like Bubbles have stars and I know the first prototypes were more realistically coloured but I love seeing ponies with face markings, spots, whatever!! It adds more design choices. I can see why maybe they would avoid doing this, it might get in the way of the cutie mark, it might be hard to mass-produce, whatever. Especially with how lazy Hasbro has been lately. :/ G4s don't have their eye gradients anymore ever since Rainbow Power, Spike doesn't have any eyelashes/lines around his eyes, and his teeth are never even coloured in. Zecora has her bangles painted only halfway on her legs, and that carries on to the ponies with painted features like the Power Ponies or the new school uniform ponies. It makes me kinda "ehh" at the reality of ponies with markings as toys, but as a concept, I like it.
