Underrated ponies

[SubmarineHallucination]

What are some ponies you love that you feel don't get the love/attention they deserve? For me Sunbeam, SS Fifi, Honeycomb, Sweet Pop, Princess Misty, Blueberry Baskets, Sugar Apple, and Sugar Sweet are a few that come to mind as just absolutely gorgeous ponies that are underrated.

It's hard for me to think of any G1 as underrated because there are so many posts about individual ponies.  But I guess I don't hear a lot about Baby FiFi.  I like all of the First Tooth ponies but I find her quite cute and pretty.

G1 Twilight the unicorn (points to avatar and sig).  Somehow I fell in love with her but I don't see her mentioned often in favorite pony threads. 

Also G1 Beachball.  She's so pretty, but I think you have to see her in person to fully appreciate her.

G1 Twilight is easily one of my faves! I love her design so much!!!

I don't know...there are so many.  When I look at my ponies all together, there are the ones that just pop out and explode with their fantasticalness while the others seem to fade into the background.  When I look at them individually....each one has such special uniqueness.  It's a weird phenomenon, honestly.  I've noticed that over the years, which was why I did get 99% of my want list at one point.  As new ponies came in and I could hold them in my hand, I wanted more to add to the growing pile of pony goodness.

I of course have my favorites, and I have recently pulled out my childhood ponies to go through.  Even Lemon Drop catches my eye as I pull her out and look her over.   

I think that is why I have a hard time picking the ONE pony that is my favorite, because it can change on a daily or even hourly basis, depending on who I have in my hand at the moment.

some cute ponies that I barely see anyone mention are Skippity Doo, Hippity Hop, and Sweet Pop

also, I've never seen anyone EVER talk about g3 Fair Weather. I literally did not know she existed until I saw her in the wild.

For G1s I'm going to go with Snuzzle, she's was a childhood pony and I really like her, but I hardly see her mentioned or in merch even though she was one of the original few ponies.  When I do see her in merch it seems like she is often shown as white instead of gray :/  Maybe because she is gray she is less popular?

I can't comment on G2 since I'm not super familiar with them in general.

For G3s it seems like alot of them are underrated. Daybreak and Sunny Sparkles, Fizzy Pop and her pose in general, Peachie Keen, Desert Palm...

For G4s, can I say Strongheart the young bison? She didn't have a toy as far as I'm aware but I really liked her...I guess she is underrated because she was just a minor character, but I had hoped she would be more popular/a returning character.

No comment on G5s, too soon to say!

THE PONY BRIDES!!! I can't lie, the Pony Brides are my favourites, though I mostly just mean the G1 Pony Bride, the G1 Bridal Beauty and G2 Wednesday Afternoon Bride. I'm not really feeling the Brides/Wedding ponies that are different colours. I also like Baby Diamond, even if I'm not a fan of her symbol.

For G4, I can't say Cadance is underrated, more ... not really appreciated as she was faced with intense backlash at being the 'third' alicorn, and her story pretty much revolves around Shining Armour, which isn't fair. She's pretty much brought in to be a Bride then a Mom and I would have rather she were her own pony (and maybe given a sandwich girl seriously what is your body proportions).

I LOVE the design of Candy Mane, she never got a figure as far as I know?

[BlackCurtains]

Raincurl maybe? I know the Rainbow Curls as a whole are popular and well liked, but it seems that most people prefer Ringlet or Stripes. Raincurl and Streaky don't get mentioned often.

[Leave a Whisper]

Ponies from the same time as the Cookery Ponies need more love IMO. Merch-wise I can easily find earlies, rainbows, TEs, TAFs, B&Gs, Loving Families, pretty much any Pony released before 1990. but for most of those between there & Tales there's little love. I have a sleeping bag with Rainbow Curls & Rocking Beats on it, but find me a colouring book or anything with cookery Ponies, Romance Ponies, Tropical Ponies, Ballerina Ponies (Babies included in the latter), Rainbow Baby Ponies, etc??? Not a chance!!! Even the two Eyelash Princess Ponies got merch, while I also have a Princess Sparkle (UK version who lights up) nightlight which still works with bulbs which are still on sale.

Quackers... She's gorgeous... It's probably her pose that makes her less popular... Imagine her in a different pose like Sugarberry pose..!

I agree!  I think she would look beautiful in that pose.

[Artemesia's Garden]

I agree about Snuzzle, I love the fact that she's grey and I think it makes her really unique and beautiful.

I personally really love Tootsie, Tutti Frutti, Merriweather, Playtime, Cherry Sweet and Sweet Delight, Movie Magic Star, Sweet Suds, Snowflake, MM Cuddles and Cherries Jubilee who all happen to be in the Tootsie pose. I think they are all fantastic in person and underrted probably because this pose isn't very popular. I can't see anything wrong with it and prefer it to quite a few others. I feel the same with the Gingerbread pose and really appreciate ponies like Daisy Sweet, the Sky Rockets, and Daddy Berrytown.

[BlackCurtains]

^ Yes, me too! Tootsie is my favorite pose (gee I wonder why) and Gingerbread is my second favorite.
