Let's talk about Wingers!

[RLisa]

Do you collect summer and/or windy wings?  Who is your favorite? Is there one you like the least? 

Guess I'll start I currently have 7 of them, here is my collection:

My favorites are Buzzer and Cool Breeze. They're so colorful and I really like their poses, as if they're actually flying. Buzzer was also one of my childhood faves so nostalgia partially explains that one 

My least favorite would be lady flutter. The white hair is a bit dull. I think she would have been great with purple hair.

love them!  i don't have any currently, though.

[Safflower]

I think they are wonderful! I currently have Glow and Lady Flutter, their long hair is amazing

I think I have all but one.  With most my collection in storage, and I keep forgetting to update my checklist, I keep forgetting who I'm missing.  I think I need Whirley.  I had a High Flyer as a child, so she's a favorite.  Flurry is another favorite.

I have a few, but I'd love to have Cool Breeze. Glow wasn't my favorite at first-but I think she is now. I much prefer her with faded white hair!

I have two, Skydancer and High flier.

Skydancer has a a haircut but I think it kind of suits her.

I would love to get Moonjumper. She is s unique.

[SpacePinto]

Not really but they look very cute!

[Leave a Whisper]

I have one, High Flier. Sadly she's the only one I'll ever have because Cool Breeze and Moonjumper are outta my price range, especially for a pony that size.

Glow, Flurry, Starry Wings and Little Flitter are cute too.

Cool Breeze is my absolute favorite. My least favorite is Whirly.

I don't have any of these, but I like them! Their poses are nice, and I love their wings. Someday maybe I'll collect them.

I adore them, easily one of my favorite sets.   
Little Flitter as mine as a kid, and has favorite status automatically.   
Currently working on some little winger babies to match their moms

love the little "fairy" ponies :-) I have the whole bunch of first gen hanging with G3 breezies and the LPS fairies in their own "shelf meadow"... only was debating adding in the G4 breezies - for whatever reason I don't care for the newest edition.  Same goes with flutters... dunno why, love wingers so have them all but have zero flutters

my favorite is of course - the green one = cool breeze

WINGERS!

I love them. <3 I, also, call them Fairy Ponies! Lol.

I want more but haven't been able to get ahold of any, recently.

I keep running into Glow.
I have one from my childhood, with perfect curled and pink hair! I always thought "he" was a boy as a kid so he remains that way for me.

I found another one a thrift store one time, in the same perfect condition! But I'm not a fan of duplicates and like to keep a steady "share the pony love" mentality (like whatever I already have, I will not buy more of, so others can grab it, especially at thrifts or yard sales) because I think there are other collectors in my area who frequent that store (ponies are always obviously picked through, G1s end up placed very, very high so kids can't see them) so I left him in hopes another pony person would swoop in and grab him. Evidently they did, because he was gone in a few days!

I found ANOTHER Glow in a biig lot of rando G1s I got a few years ago! I still have a handful of straggler duplicates that I would like to find homes for, but they are all just such common ponies with lots of flaws, I really don't feel anyone would ever buy them, so I feel like they may just be better suited here. (ex. cancer covered face Lemondrop, inked up Heartthrob, etc, they came in lots)
Among them though was Glow with his hair pretty much stark white at this point, and only one wing. I've wondered if out of all of them, if maybe Glow might be the one someone would want? I'm not sure. He's incredibly messed up but pretty damn common for Wingers if I'm not mistaken.
Well, if anyone would like him, let me know!

     I currently have only one, buzzer. I’ve head-cannoned buzzer as a grouchy boy, kind of like a grumpy bear kind of guy. I’m not sure what made me look at “tiny butterfly fairy pony” and think of that, but it’s stuck now. Can’t change it.
     I really do like them, as butterflies are some of my favourite insects, though I do enjoy and like all insects in one way or another. If I were to find any, I hope it would be glow, moon jumper and starry wings. I love space themed anything, and who doesn’t love fireflies? I say that having never actually seen a firefly in person before, but they seem cool from what I’ve read and seen in pictures.

Little Flitter is the most important Winger in our herd, she was my girlfriend's childhood pony, and the pony who sparked my own MLP obsession.
She's had a lot of love and adventures! She was second-hand when my gf got her. Her hair is faded white, her legs had some splits in them which we repaired with glue, and her wings have fallen off and been reattached many many times . They've also been nibbled a little bit! Most people would probably call her 'bait' but to us she's precious and irreplaceable . Since I got into ponies she's been on holiday with us twice and had her photo taken on Cornish coast paths and Devonshire moors.
In Kitti's childhood Pony Land she was a baby flutter pony, the younger sister of Queen Rosedust.

These are a favourite set with me.  I have 9, all the Summer Wings plus Whirly, Moon Jumper and Starry Wings.   I prioritised Wingers quite strongly at one point, with Moon Jumper being the hardest to find. She's my favourite as she reminds me of a Marc Chagall painting.  I got her around the same time as German Sweet Clover which is a really nice memory to have. I love the insect theme.

I'm having trouble posting individual pictures at the moment but there are some photos of wingers in my pony page: https://florencemeade.com/2018/05/11/i-also-restore-1980s-toys/
