Do you have her? Your thoughts? Share some more pics!


Don't have her, but I do like her!

[Miniature Sheep]

She's new to me and I'll pass. That colour scheme isn't my cup of tea. :/

[kingluke]

I have the us version which suits me fine. I don't need an expensive version that is almost the same.

[Ponybookworm]

As kingluke. Flutterbye isn't one of my "want every version of" Ponies so one (the US one I have) will do. Besides, there are two unique German Rainbows out there & I have a version of each, so happy wi them

[LadyAmalthea]

I have the US one, and she looks the same as this one, so I'll pass.

[brightberry]

She is so pretty.  I wouldn't seek her out, but finding her in the wild would be cool.

[Safflower]

I’m with everyone else who already has a US Flutterbye. I prefer the glitter symbol anyways. (Though mine could use an upgrade, her front hoof has a massive hole!)

[StillandSilent]

Meh, she looks like a bad acid trip and the butterfly symbol is done to death.  Pass on all versions

[fuzzysherbet]

ehh, i don't like flutterbye enough to seek out a more expensive variant.

[Taffeta]

I have her She's my entry in my Rainbow ponies on cards of different countries from around the world for Germany I also have a couple of loose year 3 ones and the retro. I like rainbow ponies. And as a kid I always wanted more than were sold here, so I am unashamed in having collected them all. I probably have an Italian one somewhere as well. Not sure about a Spanish one. Eh, you get the picture.

Flutterbye always sticks in my mind as being the one who was scared of spiders...

As for the overdone butterfly theme, she's I think only the 2nd pony to use it overall? - it's after that point it got overdone, particularly in later generations.

I don't think of her as the same as Flutterbye, just as a relative. But I feel like you can't have too many rainbow ponies. I have all of this set, but only Hummelchen MOC.

Another really pretty card from 1987.

People give disproportionate attention to the usual suspects, but both Hummelchen and Mondschein are distinct enough to be pretty in their own right.

[Leave a Whisper]

Pass. I don't like her colors or pose.

[SkyCakes]

I think shes nice but im not actively seeking her.
