"My horn itches" is one of my favourite G1 lines.

Oh man speaking of Gusty, there's a bit in "The Glass Princess" where she's just sitting there blowing a bunch of balloons around (like, breathing on them blowing.. idk how to put it into words, ugh). It'd make sense if she was using her unicorn power to keep them afloat, but nope. SOMEthing happened there,

Definitely think most of them happened because all the chars looked basically the same. I'd bet the symbols weren't added into the storyboards until the last minute, if at all (I know the boards for "Call Upon the Sea Ponies" had everyone symbolless, anyway) - it's easy to imagine people messing up. Like, in "Bright Lights" Baby Half Note keeps turning into Baby Lickety Split, and that one's pretty understandable - the other two baby ponies in that ep have matching mothers, but Half Note doesn't.. and (adult) Lickety is in a lot of scenes in that ep, so it's pretty obvious that someone probably looked at it and went "??? These should be matching, right?".

and OMG the undercover Jem girls XDD That's amazing, omg. I love stuff like that.

Another weird one is in "Baby, It's Cold Outside". The ep starts off w/ Truly being one of the principal characters, and then halfway through she changes into Sundance. Which is pretty understandable since they have almost the same design, so I'd normally chalk it up to an animation error.. except for some reason, Sundance doesn't speak in the series (I guess they couldn't get her VA back and they just never bothered to recast her, or something?). And she doesn't speak in this ep, either. If it was an error you'd think she'd speak w/ Truly's voice (suggesting they just drew the wrong symbol), but nope, she's silent. o.O Which makes me think it's more of a writing error, or.. something..?? I'd love to know what happened there.

also heehee, double Lickety

oh man doesn't that happen in the comics as well? Or was that one of the other baby ponies?

I love “The Glass Princess”. I never get tired of the pony wash scene but I do wonder if Gusty was originally supposed to be a different unicorn. In addition to not using her unicorn power on the balloons right before the Raptorians capture her Heart Throb and Lickety Split in the net Gusty yells “Help me try to blow it away!” (or something like that) starts blowing with her mouth instead of using her unicorn power. If she’d used her unicorn power they probably wouldn’t have been captured. Another strange one in that episode is right before the Raptorians take their pony prisoners into the cave, one of the Raptorians ties Heart Throb’s wings together so she can’t fly away. (It almost looks like he tapes them together) yet a second later her wings aren’t tied/taped down.

It got too cold for Truly (being a delicate Southern Belle and all, so the rest of the episode used Sundance because she was Truly's stunt double.

Even without speaking she's more interesting than Truly, so i really don't mind it.

I know exactly what you guys are talking about with the Gusty "blowing" scenes!!! All I can think is that they didn't storyboard it clearly and the Korean(? I think they were Korean or Japanese) animators looked at the notes that said, like, "Gusty keeps the balloons floating" and "Gusty tries to blow away the Raptorians" and they scratched their heads and said, "Uh, okay. So she blows real hard, I guess." It's soo funny to watch.

Edit: LOL! I agree . . . I'm not a big fan of MLP & Friends Truly. Except the time she tyrannically forced baby ponies to practice a song for hours so she could impress hunky boy ponies. That was amazing. (She's still a thousand times better than MLP & Friends Heart Throb.)

In The Return of Tambelon, captured and uncaptured ponies kept getting switched around.

I don't know if this is technically an error, but it's different from the toy so I might as well point it out.
In Mimic's one and only appearance in the TV show, there's this one lock of mane that is the exact color of her body. I would say they were trying to go for yellow, but in some shots she does have yellow in her mane. So her mane colors end up being;
Red
Pink
Dark Green
Yellow
Olive (body color of her in this episode)

I found a few more and rewatched "Ice Cream Wars" to get some sceenshots of the First Tooth Babies randomly switching places in between scenes.

Pics are in the spoiler tags

"The Glass Princess"

Porcina has her pony captives tied to the pony wash conveyor belt since the glass shackles she makes with her cloak shatter instantly but when it changes to a close up of Heart Throb being sprayed with water, she's chained to the belt instead of tied.
