Favorite Pony Friend/Pretty Pal and also Opinions on them

[WaterDraw]

Hiya! I was just looking through the poses tab on the MLP Wiki and went to the unique poses tab and found that there were actually a lot of pony friends/pretty pals...a lot more than I thought there were So I noticed that not a lot of people talk about them much (besides Baby Leafy) so I thought "Hmm, why not get everyone's opinion on these guys in one spot?".

Everyone can pick as many favorites as they want, or if they just really like one set in particular they can just pick that set. Ex. If I really liked Year Six's set of the Pony Friends and only that one then I could just say the Year Six set of Pony Friends.
Opinions, of course, are always welcomed. So if you didn't like the Pony Friend/Pretty Pals then just leave your grievances here. The only thing I ask is that you explain why. (I'm always curious to know!)

I'll start us off:
My favorite(s) ((yes I can't pick just one)) Creamsicle, Oakly, Cha Cha, Baby Wooly, and Cutesarus. The first four appeal to me because they are both the most equine and the prettiest while being equine. Cutesarus I like because, as the name implies, she is so cute!! (I actually like all of the pretty pal characters but Baby Wooly has to be my favorite of them all) I actually really like these sets and I thought they were a nice break from the usual pony formula However, it would've been nice if all of them had a pony friend like the Pretty Pals or if they got the prototype human friends with the pony friends. But I like them as they are. Part of me is glad they didn't push the gimmick too much but part of me also wishes there were more.

I absolutely adore them! The Pony Friends are one of my favorite sets, and I'd love to complete it one day! I think they look really cute, and while it's a bit silly that some of these animals have MLP-like hair, they make it work, they all look so precious to me.

My favorite of them is Cutesaurus, she's got a really cute mold and I like her bright colors. My other favorites are probably Creamsicle and Edgar, but I really do adore all of them, as well as all of the Pretty Pals. The only Pony Friend I have so far is Kingsley.

We never had them here in the UK, and I suppose I don't mind that we didn't. I like them okay but I'm not that fussed about them. My sister has probably the nicest one, which is Oakly, ChaCha is also cute, and so is Cutesaurus. But I'm not mad about any of them, really. We have them for completion, not really any other purpose.

I love them , I want the second set sometime.

[LadyMoondancer]

I really dig them, especially Creamsicle and Spunky!

(I admit I wish they'd done a different animal than a zebra, it just seems too close to a pony.  Still a super cute mold, though.)

My favorite is Creamsicle! I just love giraffes, and it makes sense to be able to brush her hair since Giraffes do have some sort of mane.

I didn’t like them much when I first started collecting, but now I find them adorable My second favourite toys after Ponies are dinosaurus - so of course I love Cutesauraus the most I really like Leafy as well with her eyes that makes her look like a goofball I would have found a place for Oakly in my collection too- but other than those three I wouldn’t really want anyone of them myself. I do like all of them though- I just don’t have the room

[KottonKandy]

Unfortunately, my fave would have to be ChaCha... I say unfortunately merely bc of her price, lol. Cuteasaurus is a close second.
I think the only one that irks me is Kingsley. They seem to refer to Kingsley as a girl, yet she has a mane??? I love her colors and design though. Her pronouns are the only thing that make me pause.
But overall, I love all of them. They were such a nice deviation from the ponies.

I never got excited about them.  It was more of a one eyebrow raised response.  But, I do like Creamsicle.

[Khoufu]

I have Spunky the camel and finally Creamsicle the giraffe. I love Spunky's short curly hair, and Creamsicle is soft on the eyes, as well as able to wear some baby ponywear.

I'd love to get Edgar the elephant or Cutesaurus someday, but I've settled for a Darling Dino in lieu of Cutesaurus for now. I almost got Edgar as a kid but someone else got to him first. Kingsley the lion is silly to me because her back card calls her a she, so she is, in fact, a maned lioness.

[SaraMari]

I like the pretty pals and pony friends, I had several of them as a kid so they are nostalgic for me. I wonder if these other animals live in ponyland or if they come from nearby countries. I've been able to get all except Oakly, Cha Cha and Hoppy. I've only bought 1 from a fellow collector (Cutesaurus) the rest I've found in the wild. I thought I'd make a ranking of them:

1. Oakly
2. Creamsicle
3. Spunky
4. Baby Nectar
5. Baby Hoppy
6. Cutesaurus
7. Edgar
8. Baby Leafy
9. Kingsley
10. Cha Cha
11. Baby Woolly
12. Zig Zag

I do like them all even if I ranked them lower, I don't dislike any of them though some fit with ponies better than others

I love them all, but I only have Leafy and Lucky Leaf and Woolly so far.

Hopefully one day I’ll be able to get the rest. Some are so expensive!

[BuckinghamAlice]

I think they're really cute.  I don't have any, but I really love and want Cutesaurus.

[Firehooves]

Zigzag; forerunner of Zecora, with a unique coloration.  Love that we got a zebra toy!

[SkyCakes]

I like baby lucky leaf and leafy they are a cute pair. I also love Cha Cha the lama something about her pose says she might spit on a person or maybe not lol.
