Tex is growing on me.  I'm not big on yellow ponies (except Posey, who is one of my all-time favorites).  I got him because I don't have many big brothers.  When I first received him, my feeling was, "Meh..."  Now though, I'm increasingly finding his face to be rather cute.  It probably helps that I have him standing so that he is looking right at my desk and I end up seeing him several times a day.

Perfume Poofs for me too!

The Big Brothers & Mountain Ponies. I had no interest in these lines until rewatching Somnambula a few months ago.

Also, Sweetheart Sister ponies didn't grow on my until maybe 2-3 months ago. I don't have any yet, but there are quite a few I'd like to get someday.

G2's. I thought they looked strange. Then I got a few in a mystery lot and decided, why not, I'll keep them. Then I got a few babies and I'm all in. Although, I'm still staying away from the mane changing ones.

Sea ponies! I thought they were weird and not cute - then I got one in a lot with some other ponies and found I actually liked her. Finding a way to display them (wooden stand with holes in) helped too.

Mostly I like ALL ponies, which can be a bit alarming for my finances They're all so cute in their own ways.

Does it count if I say I absolutely hated pink before I got into ponies? xD My first had pink (a custom), my second had pink (Sundance), I have a ton of ponies with pink bodies/hair/symbols, and my army is pink (again, Sundance).

I didn't care for g2s in the beginning either and now they have a certain charm to them <3

Recently Pearly Pie has been growing on me.

Perfume Puff ponies- I thought they were so ugly with their big frizzy hair! Now I have the whole set and they're some of my favorites.

[Sparkle Pony]

The Happy Tails ponies.  I didn't explicitly dislike them, but they seemed rather boring compared to a lot of other ponies.  I have two now and they are just the sweetest looking ponies, their simple colors and shorter tails just look adorable!

Pink is one of my favorite colors now and that is entirely due to Pinkie Pie.

As for ponies I didn't like at first, I guess that would be all of them.  Besides that, I didn't really care much for G3s, now they're my second-favorite generation.

Beachball. I got her for a friend that wanted her. I didn't think she was pretty until I saw her in person. I would have never discovered her if I hadn't got her for a friend.

Mimic..
Hah, didn't like her symbol or color combo..

I didn't really care for her, even though I adore most of the TEs.  But this past summer something happened and I started seeing her in a different light.

As far as a set.. the BnGs. Never had any as a kid, never really paid much attention to them.. but I was gifted the entire set earlier this year and now I'm glad I have them all... I love their hair colors!

The Twinkle Eyes and Sparkle ponies! And it's frustrating because a lovely set of Sparkle Ponies popped up at my local vintage toy shop several years ago and I passed them over because they just did not appeal to me at the time, even though the Sunspot had a lovely unfaded pink mane and tail and I had a feeling I should at least snag her. But I got a Twinkler at BABScon this year and they've jumped to the top of my list. She's so purple and the space themes and face decals on the mail order ones are so cute! I'm not sure if the moral of the story is get every pony you encounter that you don't have or not, ha ha.

My first Twinkle Eye was a Gingerbread who belonged to a friend who didn't like her much and gave her to me. I have never really liked her pose or color scheme, and with all those marks against her the jewel eyes just seemed creepy. But after ogling the Masquarade who belongs to the tattoo artist who visits Babscon each year, I got Sweet Pop and suddenly became aware that most of the Twinkle Eyes have such cute colors, poses and symbols. Somehow their jewel eyes seems just gimmicky enough to be really cute/weird in a good way.

NightGlider was another one that grew on me! Saw her twice (passed her up for others the first time because I thought she was just ok, and the second because I just did not have money for ponies at the time.) I got her cheap in a lot recently and though I'm trying to get her to stop smelling like cigarettes, she's very cute!

Mimic is still not my favorite, which I feel kind of fortunate about since she's so pricey. It's probably only a matter of time though...
