Either I have lost my mind (possible), or hasn't Sunshower been a POTD not that long ago? I am sure I remember posting about her
She was POTD just two months ago.
I like her but the version facing forward is cuter. Monochromatic is nice.
Ah, thank you, I knew I wasn't crazy.
I am also biased because of childhood love and nostalgia but I agree with you. But I think that version may only have been sold in the UK? I never knew about the looking up pose as a child, not till I got online and saw the drawings on DV and realised they were different from my childhood ponies.
My Sunshower and I played together a lot when I was a kid, till she got mould and had to be treated for it and after that she wasn't allowed in the water very much any more. I don't like the looky up pose for the pearlies, because they jolt against my childhood memories of those ponies. I love the pose on the Sea Sparkles though.
Unfortunately my Sunshower's puffy sticker is stuck with permanent force on the tower of my Dream Castle, alongside Ripple's.
As I posted my other pics last time, I'll post these pictures this time

They used to play in the pool of my friend's PE when I was younger, and so this seemed fitting.
I also had Ripple and I loved her perhaps even more, but for that reason she did less swimming...so I have more active play memories of Sunshower. I was not a rich kid but I had a couple of rich friends as a child. One was the one who gave me her ponies, whose parents could afford PE for her to play with. The other had a father who was a member of some exclusive club with a pool, and I remember once my friend's Mum took us there to the pool. That friend had Backstroke and I am ninety nine percent sure the pony I would have taken to play with Backstroke there would have been Sunshower.
