Yep!
I totally agree that the soda sipping ponies look weird. Almost like they have a hole drilled through their upper lip 
They could have a least...I don't know...maybe puckered their lips like the G1 baby drink n wet ponies?
And ditto on the so soft ponies. So many of their pretty details get lost under all that flocking   

But there are two that I really want to like but just seriously do not...the G1 sweetheart sister ponies which look more like deer/giraffes than ponies to me. Also I think the G1 soft sleepy newborns have little troll faces. I can't figure out why they look so strange to me 
Maybe I'm the only one on the G1 SSN but it's interesting to see some of these things bother you guys too.

 
You guys are so sweet, thanks for the warm welcome!
I'm looking forward to chatting, sharing, and learning in the arena.

Diamond,
My real life ponies are a 25 year old quarter horse mare, she's the horse I'm riding in my profile pic. A very big 7 year old paint horse gelding who is an absolute baby, he was born with us and knows he's special 
And my hubbys horse is a 7 year old quarter horse gelding that just "thinks" he belongs to me  Thanks for asking 
Do you have any irl ponies?

Hi
I'm super excited to meet everyone, but also a bit nervous 
I've never posted on any kind of forum so hopefully I do this right. A little about why I'm here...
     First of all, I'm an 80s baby, and so many of my happy childhood memories are attached to My Little Pony. I come from a ranching family and my Dad worked as a cowboy when I was young, so I've always been surrounded by real life horses. I dearly loved horses as a child and as I've grown up they've always been a part of my life. Today, I have two horses of my own that bring so much joy to my life. But the first horses I ever loved were: Butterscotch, Cotton Candy, Applejack, Peachy and Sundance!
     Unfortunately, I was separated from my first pony herd at 10 years old. I lost all my toys in an accident and I've thought about them many times over the years. I never shared with anyone that I missed them or considered replacing my ponies as an adult. I was scared of what people would think 
That all changed last week.  I shyly told my husband I was thinking about starting to collect g-1 my little ponies and the memories I had of them as a child. He said, "that makes sense".  I was like...wait...what!?  :
And then it began, I opened my first box of G-1 ponies yesterday!! It was like the pure joy and happiness of my childhood had arrived in a cardboard box!
They aren't all perfect but they're home and I'm looking forward to showing them some tlc after I learn a little more. Thanks for letting me share. I look forward to learning here and growing my "herd"   
I hope that wasn't too long!
