Let's talk about G3s!

[tailrustedtealeaf]

It's a hard decision, but I think my favorite G3 is Alphabittle. She's so funny and sweet. Although, Autumn Skye is great, and I also like Lulabelle...But Alphabittle has so much personality!

I love Lulabelle's color scheme!  I love white ponies and blue and pink are so lovely together.
On my shelf it looks like she's hiding her face in her hair which I think is funny.
My favorite G3 is probably either Triple Treat or Coconut Cream. I did get Moondancer at a thrift store recently, though, and I've become enchanted with her!

I totally agree with everyone who mentioned Autumn Sky. They designed her so well -- she looks just like, well, an autumn sky, ha ha. So pretty. I like her a lot. A good example of the creative G3 designs.

Also, you can stick the ones with magnets onto vertical surfaces. Always entertaining.

Somewhere I have an old photo of my g3 ponies filling up our metal staircase railing. It looks goofy.

Always fun with fridges but less amusing when trying to pack in the same bag as your laptop. I was going to bring Sandy Island back to London with me to keep Honoluloo company, as she's the only G3 I have in London, but I couldn;t work out how to do it safely because of her magnet

Ah, yes, I feel your pain! I always have to remember not to get them too close to stuff like my laptop.

All Breezie poses. Well it's actually just their face that bothers me.

[Khoufu]

Not a fan of open mouth poses like donkey and waterfire (as much as I love Waterfire herself) but other than that, it depends how well I think the pose fits the pony's personality in my mind. I loved all the baby poses as a kid.

[Taffeta]

I hate the diva pose.

Not really a fan of the two Khoufu mentions either. But can deal with them.

[Einhornbaby]

Waterfire is sooo pretty if it wasnt for her pose... she has such a weird look on her face... o.0

I agree with everyone on the creativity! G3 have such pretty and creative symbols, just think of Alphabittle! Sooo cute <3

I'm not crazy about it. It looks painful. I can put up with it though for Port-o-bella and Crystal Crown. And I'd love to have Pepperberry and Tink-a-tink-a-too II.

Who are some of your grails? Whether I can get them or not, some of mine are:
Star Flight
Heart Bright
Caribbean Delight
Rosey Posey
Frisco and Trolley
Peacock
Unicorn Cheerilee
Love Letter
Pumpkin Tart with her costume
Mistletoe with her accessories
Winter Snow
Marshmallow Cocoa
Crystal Crown
Thistle Whistle
Zippy Zinnia
Meadow Moon
Twinkle Hope

The only grails I have so far are Port-o-bella and Chilly Breezes.

I love g3s! Now days G1s are my faves, but I grew up with the g3 series and Minty was my absolute favorite (still is haha) Me and my sibling got this castle for Christmas one year

We dont have them anymore since they got severely damaged over the years, but I'll always remember them!

These days I just have Minty, Toola Roola, and Pinkie Pie that were given to me by my sibling haha
Here's Minty and Pinkie Pie now!

They have a lot more g3s than I do but they aren't comfortable posting pictures of their collection

I agree with everyone on the creativity! G3 have such pretty and creative symbols, just think of Alphabittle! Sooo cute <3

That's why I want a zillion Waterfire customs. She has awesome potential.

G3 had more complex symbols in general than its predecessors, which led to a variety of neat symbols. Too bad white ponies (and probably pink) were magnets for heart and flower related symbols. Those were the first to go when I purged, as cool as a bumpy 3D heart, layered 3D flimsy plastic heart, or cloth flower symbol were.

Edit: AnnabellDerwin - I have/had the same playsets! I renamed Pink Sunsparkle to Ember.

As far as geails, I just want to replace Candy Cane, I want Portobella, Breezie, and Wishawhirl, if I can find hem cheap, when I buy g3s again eventually. Funny enough  LAW, I have Mistletoe and Marshmellow Coco NIB that I'm  trying to sell, and it's Snow'el  (the other in the set) that everyone seems to want.

[Mlp Sunsparkle]

I think my top grails would be (in no particular order):

Spoiler

Rainbow swirl 2
Kimono 2
Cotton Candy 2
Finger paints
Candy Apple
November chrysanthemum (and the other 11, but nov is my birth month!)
November nights (and the other 9 I’m missing)
Sunny salsa
Beach belle
Caribbean delight
Sparklesnap
Winterberry
Snow el (Pegasus)
Pearly pie
Aurora mist
Sunrise song
Sweetberry 2
Wind wisher
Rainbow sunrise
Bashful bonnet
Baby Pink Sunsparkle with no magnet/heart and white cover (if she exists!)

I love the baby ponies too! Especially Pink Sunsparkle! I think my second favourite g3 is round n round, her colours are so bright! Those two are my army ponies 

I think my main goal is to collect each pose for each pony, then I want to branch out into collecting variants, from very different (different body colour) to the tiny (eyelashes closer together etc). I’m not sure whether I’m going to go for the exclusives, I’m thinking not, as the ones I like the best have the worst price tag too!

Edit: I said I was going to be EATING variants  don’t worry I’m not THAT mad! The variants are all safe

Consider us twins in that regard haha I'm not really sure which g3s I want to get next since I'm mainly focusing on g1s (I think both me and my sibling are but they also get a lot of the g4 sets too) but I would like to get some more some time!

[Taffeta]

I am slowly figuring out which G3 I would like to have. I don't know about grails, but I'd like to have them.

Pegasus Snow'el is gorgeous but seems expensive, so I'm probably out with her.
Whatever Breezies I haven't got yet. Totally having trouble keeping track.
Thanks to LAW I have now added Lavender Cloud (growls)
There are also a couple of SLH I would like to add.
Chocolate Chipper is also cute

[Khoufu]

Aloha Pearl seems popular. I suddenly regret selling her before discovering the pony forums.

As a kid I got the Celebration Castle and it came with Pink Sunsparkle. I didn't care for her much, and I named her Ember after the first baby pony, since she was the first baby G3. The castle pieces didn't fit together properly so we exchanged it for a new one. TRU let us keep the pony out f the first one so my sister and I each have her.

This year I'd like to try and snag Applejack, Baby Sandy Island, Seaspray, Baby Honolulu, Sunrise Song and two baity ponies.
