Title: Your dream army pony?
Post by: StrawberrySundance on October 20, 2018, 03:42:02 AM
What pony do you/ or would you love to have as your army pony?

I'd love to have Sundance (G1 specifically) as my army pony, I've only got one of her at the moment :lovey:
I currently have 5/6 McDonald's G2 Sundances so I guess she's my current army pony  :P I'd like to change that lol.

Edit: I guess you could say I've got a bit of a G1 Posey army too :)


What about you?

There are a lot of ponies I would make armies from if I had space. I have five Tropical Breezes, which is probably my closest thing to an actual 'army' though one of those is MIB which kind of doesn't count to me in army terms.

I do kind of have a Cherries Jubilee army although it comprises mostly a range of versions. I think I have:
1985 - one from childhood, upgrade from the UK, one from the US, one MOC on UK card
1986 - one loose from the UK, one MOC from the UK, one loose with curls and dark symbol from Europe
Nirvana - Italy, NC
And baby CJ as well.

The other one is Medley. I genuinely would have a Medley army if not for space constraints. Probably I'd have an army of many of the early ponies the UK didn't get - but I do have a sort of army:
y2 - one loose, one MOC
y3 - one loose (curly)
Nirvana - Italian, Peruvian, greek (yellow with green/blue hair), Mexican (rainbow hair)
And baby Medley from Peru. I will also be adding retro Medley at some point, hopefully she'll show here...

I guess there's sort of also Strawberry Fair. I have my childhood one, a UK one MOC, a Brazilian, a Spanish and a baby. But that's not quite enough for a proper army? I'm not as impressive as the people who have 20 or 30 ponies in an army.

I've already got a bunch of Sunny Dazes, so I guess my dream army addition would be G1 style Sunnies. G4 would be neat, too, but the only white earth pony I can think of is somewhat sought after and unless she were absolutely destroyed I wouldn't be able to justify her being customized to myself.

I guess it would be an army of flutter ponies, or an army with every single pony with Neon Yellow mane. I can't get enough of these extremely bright fellas.

I already have two army ponies:

1. Fluttershy. Mostly her G4 toys (and it seems like there is an endless supply of those, lol) but also G3 and I've adopted G1 Posey and G2 Sky Skimmer as Fluttershy's "ancestors".

2. Sunny Daze  :heart: She's been my favorite pony since I was a little kid and I still love her so much. And since she was pretty heavily featured in G3 merchandise, I'm constantly finding her stuff for sale on ebay to add to my collection. Oddly, though, I still haven't obtained a Sunny Daze toy in her original pose (http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Sunny_Daze_Pose (http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Sunny_Daze_Pose)) which is still at the top of my wanted list for pony toys.

I've got a ton of Pinkie Pie (3, 3.5, and 4) which happened unintentionally, and while she's not really even one of my favorite ponies, it is a little fun to add to the army, even if I didn't mean to start it. I don't display them all together though, they just all hang out with the other ponies from their respective generations.

Starshine! I would love to have nirvanas of her. Currently, I only have one of her though...

An accidental army I have is Peppermint Crunch. I got 2 bins of G1s locally a while ago (still cleaning them lol) and there are about 6 or 7 of her!

Apple Jack! She keeps finding me when I go thrifting, plus I tend to always get her when I buy a blind bag. Not a fan of G4 but she is my favorite. If I could find her G1 I'd start making an army.

The other one would be Moondancer, already have her original release and need the retro one. Hmmm, that may be a good place to start. I love reading about other folks armies.

I have a Waterfire army entirely by choice (Hasbro and 3 bait customs) as well as accidental armies of Firefly, Glory, and G2 Lightheart.

I was just thinking of starting a topic like this!  I love pony armies.

I have just recently started working on a Peachy and Snuzzle army.  Yep, a two pony army.  My reason is this, Peachy was my first pony ever, so despite the fact that she is very common and may be seen as not that exciting, she's very special to me.  And Snuzzle has always seemed connected to her to me.  In my head canon I decided they are twins, since they have the exact same symbol and similar colors.  Only adult twins instead of newborn twins, twins that have grown up.

So far I have...
Peachy:  My original from childhood, an upgrade (both CF), FF Peachy, Mexican Peachy, Italian Peachy, 35th Anniversary Repo Peachy, and the peach My Pretty Pony that looks just like Peachy, I count her as part of my army.
Snuzzle: My original from childhood (CF), 35th Repo Snuzzle, Loyal Subjects Snuzzle, and a custom blind bag Snuzzle.
I also have a embroidered patch of Peachy.
Mexican and Italian Peachy are my first two Nirvana Ponies I've ever had!  They aren't in great shape, but I'm happy to have them anyway.

I have a lot more to get, my army has just started.  I hope to have a very large army eventually.  I eventually hope to have customs of Peachy and Snuzzle as newborn twins, and G2, G3, and G4 customs, as well as a blind bag custom of Peachy to go with the Snuzzle.  And I'm always on the lookout for any merch that features either of them.

My holy grail is Dolly Mix Snuzzle!  Oh I wish I could find that!

I'm also kinda working on an all generations army of Applejack, since she was a childhood favorite, and there are so many versions of her. 
I have G1 straight hair Applejack, Baby Applejack, G4 regular Applejack, Cutie Mark Magic Applejack (the one with their symbol going down their legs and over one eye), Friendship Festival: Party Friends Applejack (with tinsel and glitter on legs), Non-brushable Applejack.  Ty Beanie Baby Applejack, blind bag Applejack, and Loyal Subjects Applejack.

I don't want to get every single tiny variation of G4 Applejack, that would be way too many for me.  But I really want to get Pearlized, Water Cuties, and Seapony Applejack.  I also really want a Build a Bear Applejack.  And of course I need G3 Applejack, curly hair Applejack, Collector Pose Applejack, and any Nirvanas I might come across.

Honeycomb army here  :lol: as she was a significant pony when I was little  :lovey:
I hold a lot of affection for her and gladly buy "baits" to fix up  :cool:

Post by: PoserBeachball on October 21, 2018, 02:25:30 AM
My armies seem to have found me -
Posey and Wigwam
 - and lately a bunch of 3 baity Fizzies to go with my actual Fizzy.

They are all ponies I like very much so even if they ain't quite the 'dream army' they are pretty close.

The Poseys and Wigwams live together as a big gang. The three boys are a bit faded so they are different colours and look like brothers. The 6 Posies are a mix - a pink-haired minty one, two 'palomino' sisters with faded white hair, two alt rehairs (one ginger-orange and one rainbow) and a punky one with a haircut. Ginge is the natural leader of the gang. :)

Posey or Pina Colada!

Posey is such a beautiful pony with so many different variations. I can't get enough of her. But then again, Pina Colada is my favorite pony so I dont think its possible to have too many Pina Coladas. Too bad there isnt many different variations. Maybe it would be time to do some alternate rehairs?  :lookround:

If I had the space and could feasibly afford it, I would definitely love to have a Posey army. She's always been one of my favourites and there are so many beautiful variants, especially the white Venezuelan one. Also I love that the Italian version has "hippypony" on the backcard. She is very groovy! :lol:

I have a small army of Coco Berry's. I got a handful from an army swap aaaages ago, which included a few customs, including an alternate color rehair and a perfume puff hair version ^^ Also a plush version! I love them!

Unfortunately they've been in storage for a while as I don't have room atm to display them...

My pride and joy is my Gusty Army, I just love her! <3 (Too many to count/list, lol.)

I also have a small G1 Ribbon Army as well (4 SS, BBE Baby, and NBBE Baby). She was the very first pony in my collection, and I also had her as a child, so she is very special to me. ^-^

what is it that significants an army? Is it a bunch of the same pony with no variations, but you just like her very much, like having say, 15 Mimic, just because you love her colour?
Or does a variant collection count as an army too? I usually dont categorize my variants as armies as they are all different even if it's the same pony, but if they count, I have armies of Lemon Drop and Medley. :)

For Lemon Drop I have 7 different italians, 5 different spanish, 2 greek, 4 HK, 1 China, 2 German, and som MIP

Medleys I have both HK, french, italian, mexican, peru green hair, peru purple hair, greek yellow and greek orange, greek blue baby, and peru white baby.

I think those are all :P

I really (really) love Cherries Jubilee, so am working towards getting more of her. So far I have 5 HK variants plus a sixth who is simply faded. However she is different from the others, so... And there are so many beautiful Nirvana variants of her.

The Six:

I also want, one day, to have all versions of Truly. So far I only have the Scandinavian girl and So Soft. I really love the simplicity of Novia (both versions). Truly is my joint favourite pony together with SA Heart Throb.

And if we are talking about dreams here then I would love, but LOVE to have a SA Pony army. However I think that this dream really does live in DreamLand.

I have a small multi-gen army of Applejack. If I had loads of money and space, it would be a much bigger army and feature more G1 variants. The Colombian Applejacks are so pretty!

I also think Peachy would be a really good army pony. There are quite a few Nirvanas of her, and also even her regular releases always seem to be subtly different: slightly different colours, symbols faded in an interesting way, flatter hair etc.

My sister actually does have a Posey army. And a Cotton Candy one. Though most of both are in storage, she's started picking them up again. She brought an Italian posey and a regular darker pink Cotton Candy home from ponycon, and I've given her a couple of Poseys more recently (actually one of them she kind of took out of my trade box and then looked at me hopefully, since it had really nice pink hair, LOL). This is also the reason she has the Hallmark christmas ornament for Cotton Candy, although I think she likes the others as well. I know she also has a Macau "Candy" in that army somewhere, which I think is her favourite. And of course, a retro one too. I have no idea why Cotton Candy. My sister really hates pink O.o.

I think Naynie must have about ten or twelve Poseys. I had to talk her out of buying one at ponycon that had no hair and that was in pieces :/

I would love to have an army of North Stars and baby North Stars, of all her variants except the Argentina one. Currently though, I have only both variations of the baby and one NSS North Star. Sigh, I want the Brazil one and the so soft with black compass rose ):

well if we're talking about in our wildest dreams, obviously I wouldn't mind an army of Mimic. Not because of the money or anything, but just because Mimic is my favorite pony ever and I have a habit of getting armies of things I like...*looks at my Lagoona Army from MH*

An actual semi-reasonable Army want for me would probably be Tex, or just the big brothers in general. I also wouldn't mind some of the baby boy ponies too...

I think my favorite kinds of armies are the ones that span multiple generations, especially if it's a custom made one. I think if I had a proper army though, I'd put them all in random places throughout the house so when guests come to my house they will be utterly confused  :lol:

I want an army of the UK families, including MOC and loose. . I also want an army of the ponies I had as a child.  Peppermint Crunch, Sherbet, Sky Rocket, Baby Tappy, and Starflash I have one started, but some were stolen. I will rebuild the armies.

Yes and Mimic is also so interesting because of her cartoon roots. Being the descendent of the first unicorn and all. :P

And yeah, Tex is such a cutie! I'd have to say Tex and Wigwam are my favorite big brother ponies  :)

Monster High is so easy to get an army of one character since they're all in different outfits and stuff. I know sometimes I passed up getting a new character just so I could get another version of a character I already had because it looked pretty....  ;)

They all hang out together except the two MOCs, the one MIB, and the two that are displayed with their sets.

I guess in a sense I have a Gusty army but it's not all the same version.  I don't want more than one of a particular version.
Especially if they are a rarer pony, I want there to be others available for other collectors to own rather than me having ten or whatever.  Plus I want to use my money to buy other ponies I don't have.   That's just how I am though, kudos to those who like to have multiples of the same pony. 

Currently I have US/Canada release Gusty (my first pony), so-soft Gusty, Brazil Gusty but minus her outfit, BBE Baby Gusty, custom reverse Gusty, custom G4 Gusty, custom G4 waterglobe Gusty, Dolly Mix Gusty.  A small army compared to many.

I personally use Imgur, just be sure to make your uploads private, and not public. Anything pony just attracts nasty trolls if it's uploaded publicly. I'd love to see your army!
