Who did you unexpectedly fall for...

[hathorcat]

Who when you started collecting or during your collecting years did you vow that you never wanted to add to your collection or who you didnt particularly like or who you had no interest in?

For me oddly it was the Princess ponies - I remember getting a Princess Serena in a lot of 2 - one of them was Lemon Drop lol. I kept LD and sold on Serena *eye roll*. I honestly thought - hmmmm 3d symbol, tinsel in the hair that pony is so not for me....roll on about 6 months later and another lot with another Princess Serena arrived. This time I decided the pony fates were trying to tell me something, I kept her and then within about 2 days loved her and needed all the princesses!

So have you had a "no thanks"...then "I love you" moment with any sets or particular ponies over the years?

G2 ponies! It's Lady Cupcake's fault

[Rainbowjuice]

I must have sold on about 6 Snuzzles over time.
I just never warmed to her grey body but she just kept cropping up again and again.
I accepted my fate and the last Snuzzle I got is now a beloved part of my collection.

Silly grey pony

When I started collecting, I said I would never want a So Soft or a Perfume Puff in my collection. Now I have one Perfume Puff and I just love her! Im also waiting on my first So Soft to arrive in mail.. Things change.

G2s! How many of those have I sold and given away? Then a couple of years ago one didn't sell so I plonked her on a ponyshelf. Then another came along and whilst i was IDing her I found the playsets...then more G2s....I have less than a dozen G2s but I love them! I cringe when I think of all the ones I have sold ridiculously cheaply in the past

I recently purchased glimmer wings Fluttershy and Daisy Dreams even though I told myself "no more glimmer wings" after GW Rarity.  I wouldn't say I love them just yet, but they're growing on me

For myself, it's the G3's - I resisted them entirely when they were released (besides buying the odd one for my daughter to love <-- True!) but the past few months I've really grown attached to them (!?) and have begun to hoard them too! 

Other than that, the G1's I swore I wouldn't collect were the sea ponies and big brothers - why? Well sea ponies can't walk around with the other ponies (or be displayed properly unless they have their shells) and big brothers would annoy all the girls! Well that has certainly changed and Quarterback and 4-Speed are currently my top search contenders

I just recently fell in love with Moonlight/ midnight Dreams???? A G3 I totally do not know her name!

Also mail order blossom... I can't stand the CP ponies!

;-; Tootsie, but heaven help me I held her in my hands and I fell in love

G4s! And BBEs 

[Bebopgroove]

G4 Ditzy Doo. When I first saw pics of her, I could have cared less. Then the more I saw of her, the more I began to really want her.

And I'm really starting to want some G3.5s, after hating them in the beginning. But maybe that's the completionist in me coming out?

[RAMChYLD]

Well, when I started with G3, I didn't think I'd fall for anyone. I initially bought the Sing and Dance Pinkie Pie because I'm naturally intrigued by technology and I was just prodded by some friends at another forum to give G3 MLP a chance. I guess I ended up falling for her hook, line and sinker.

With G4, Fluttershy. I initially thought she was cute and thought I'd just buy a regular brushable and a fashion style and get it over with. Then I found out she was voiced by Andrea Libman... MAJOR pain ensued.

G1 Tales? Well, love at first sight with Sweetheart, but unfortunately by the time the cartoon made it over here, It was already 2000-2001. So no chance of getting her in toy form. And well, back then, I didn't know how to buy stuff online or do trades. However, I managed to rectify that problem.

;-; Tootsie, but heaven help me I held her in my hands and I fell in love

OMG it's the same for me too!!!! I just love that girl and every time I come across her she's always in such rough shape ;_;

[Elisto]

G2s...I still don't entirely like them, but a few seemed to have managed to get into my collection and stay there! Also, G4s, which I do like, but didn't want to get into collecting; now I have 10 or so...

As for G1s, there aren't really any I would pass up if the price is reasonable, but I had be fairly neutral about the Perfume Puffs. I had one and did like the hair, but didn't really care too much. Then I got Lavender Lace, and now she may be my favorite! I love her so much!

[Saber-Toothed Crow]

SS Heart Throb. I was never against her, just her name, colour scheme and symbols made me give her a big 'meh' and add her to the bottom of my So Soft list. Then I found her at a Value Village, and she was in perfect condition, my mintiest so soft yet! She cleaned up so nicelyt hat I really started to appreciate her, especially her pose which is now one of my favourites.

So while she still isn't one of my absolute favourites, I definitely like her much more than I originally did.
