Do you have her? What do you think of her? Share some more pics!
I love her, and have her with some fabulous factory curls.
-
They are lovely, I do not have them just yet.
-
Another gorgeous yellow pony I covet, along with Dancing Butterflies and Ringlet.
-
I always giggle at her name. XD I know Pineapple is a great name for her. Though the US names are ingrained in my mind I grew up with them.
-
I have her and love her <3 such bright colors! Again, same with Hula Hula, as a kid I didnt like the set because of the colors and the eyeshadow :P These days I really love them !!
Btw, her german name is Sonnenschatz (sun treasure)!
Here are my girls :

It's hard to find one with good hair. I have yet to succeed in that so I don't have her (I'm a picky collector) but she's still one of those ponies that I want a lot!
I love her vibrant colors!
-
Yay, the girl I call Pineapple!
Sonnenschatz is a very pretty name for her too.
-
Want. I'm not a fan of her U.S. name though; the U.K. name is much better IMHO.
-
A beautiful pony with an unfortunate name.
Fun fact, the US Tropical pony names were all recycled from a different Hasbro line, Fairy Tails:

Tootie Tails (the pony) was the only one not to have the "Tails" part of the name dropped.

I'm not sure about her. I really love her colour scheme, but I really dislike her pose, it looks so arrogant. And the eyeshadow makes it even worse. Also, I hate pineapple. So yeah, hmm. :lookround:

That's an interesting take. What about the pose looks haughty to you? I'm trying to see it and right now I can't, so I'd like your perspective. :)

@Einhornbaby-Ooh! I like the German name a lot!
-
I found a dirty one at value village, and after I cleaned her up, she was pretty muchnear mint.

Her UK name is Summer Heatwave xD. The German name is awesome too though.
Hasbro US dropped the ball again.

It's her face (not just hers, but every pony in this pose). The pose itself looks kind of shy actually, it's very nice, but the look on her face doesn't sit right with me. :lookround:

Now that you mention it, I do think I see a hint of a self-satisfied smirk...

Haha, see! :P

I see that's not the only thing they recycled.

She is a lovely pony that I would like to own one day, but I am not crazy about the US name. I think that my pony will be called something else when she joins my herd ;)

I guess we should all be grateful she wasn't called Top Banana. :snicker:

I think that might have been an improvement, actually, thinking about it...;)

:lol: wouldn't have made much sense either though.

I'd like to have her to complete the set. I got Hula Hula new when I was a girl. Last year, I got Sea Breeze and Pina Colada in a large lot. So now I just need...umm...the pineapple girl. Like others, I don't really care for her US name... :silly:

Let's just all call her Summer Heatwave then.
*Looks shifty and polishes crystal ball*
Absolutely not trying to infiltrate the community with UK names. Nuh-uh.

What do you wish of me O Lady Taffeta?

Yes ma'am, Summer Heatwave she is. (with accompanying glassy eyed stare) ;)
Though seriously, even Top Banana (Top Pineapple?) would be an improvement in my opinion.

Why does that make me think of Pico Taro...pen pineapple apple pen O.o.
Wow, I'm getting good at this hypnosis thing. I must use this power wisely *schemes*
...This thread is so off topic now :D

Since they're based on the Tropical Fairy Tail birds, I wish we'd gotten the blue and green ones as ponies too.

I actually do like Top Banana better than Tootie Tails. :P But Summer Heatwave is also a great name!

Oh cool, I didn't know that! I have one of the Fairy Tail birds from that line (from childhood).
I would kill to have this pony on the card, but at least I have her in otherwise nice condition!

Come to think of it, it's a bit weird that those ponies don't exist. I mean, it was common in the UK for us to have sets of four ponies, but most of those sets we had as fours in the UK had six in the US (like the Sunshine Ponies, the Candy Cane ponies, etc). So why not six Tropical Ponies? Were there two more that never made it to production? Should there maybe have been a Top Banana and a Sunnytails?
The mind boggles muchly.
Also the fact the names of those birds and the colours of the ponies which in the US got those names don't correlate at all well. But I did notice that "Hula Hula" at least has palm trees. I really genuinely think that palm tree earth pony was meant to be Hula Hula everywhere, but Hasbro in the US did a weird name switch. It's the only thing that makes sense given that the US symbol/name don't match up and yet its the only name that is in both UK and US sets (and when the UK used the same names as the US, we used them for the same ponies. Hula Hula is the only time that didn't happen). Looking at the fairy tails above it does seem like name switching may have happened a few times. It wouldn't surprise me even if they wanted to have other names for them but then decided to save money and use existing trademarks instead. Maybe they couldn't get the names they wanted through for some reason. Who really knows. I suspect it's easier to trademark "Top Banana Tails" than Top Banana on its own.
I always think that it was easier for the UK to have more interesting names because they were probably only licensing them in a small area, as opposed to trying to get them through in the US market. I think that's probably the reason Hasbro recycled. Partly to save money, but partly to save having to try and get yet more trademarks through.

By the time the Tropical ponies came out, all MLPs had just four in a set. My assumption is that it was because MLP's star was fading and they weren't selling as well, so Hasbro was scaling back. You could see Hasbro trying to hit the TOTALLY RADICAL neon 90s look in some of their last G1 MLPs--the bright Tropical ponies and Rockin' Beats, the Sweetheart Sisters who looked less "cute" and more like a horse-version of Barbie, and the Petite ponies (because Polly Pocket was huge)--but G1 MLP was just too tied in to the cute, cuddly, pastel 80s aesthetic IMO.

Have her. I really like this set, they're sure gloriously cheerful colours. When I was growing up, I distinctly remember receiving a 100 piece puzzle with these tropical ponies on it. Fond memories. ^.^
