Anyone else wish Twinkle Eyed ponies.....

[rtattles]

*shrugs*  I always thought they were pretty, and it was an unique idea that hasn't really been copied all that much. 

I agree with that!!! It's definitely one of the most unique idea.

I always like things that have a freakish factor to them, and the TE's eyes work like a charm. I don't know, I just think they'll be a lot less appealing with normal eyes. Leave the normal eyes to the Rainbow POnies and the Brush & Grows, the gem eyes are what made the TEs a unique set. Fizzy just isn't Fizzy without her sparkly jewel eyes. Sweetpop will be 20% less cool without her jewels too. 

I mean Hasbro has done lots of gimmicky ponies, and lots of them will easily win the freaky-ugly award, but the Twinkle-Eyed Ponies are definitely freaking-beautiful! They were some of my favourite ponies as child, and I think children have a thing for freaky stuff. Look at Tele-tubby, Barney...etc they are characters that adults deem disturbing, but they're such a hit with children. The TEs had the same hit on me as a child. I was a complete devoted worshipper....still am. lol I think if Hasbro had released them as normal eyed ponies in the 80s, I would have still liked them, but not in the same capacity as I do if they have those magical, mystical jewels eyes. The jewel eyes are definitely a winning touch for me. Normal eyes make them pretty, however jewel eyes make them special! Why go for average when you can be a genius? lol

I guess the cartoons helped too. I loved watching Fizzy's eyes sparkle in the cartoon, and in the Movie, Sweet Stuff got her twinkle back when the smooze was fluttered off her. And I felt extra sorry for Fizzy was Rosedust refused to help the ponies at first. She had that disappointed twinkle in her eye that really tugged at my heart strings (oh, children are so emotional!lol). In some stories, the TE ponies' eyes twinkle when they are excited, so a lot of happy emotional attachments there.

Wow, they look stunning!

[hyenacub]

I thought they were ugly as a kid.  But now I've grown to like them.    That story, though!  It's like the jewels are some sort of freaky cybernetic implant that lodged themselves into their eyes.  LOL

Bongine!  You're a Myst fan!    Nice sig.  C:

[Shenanigans]

TEs are my favorite! I love their jeweled eyes They were my favorite as a child as well

[babystarz]

The gem eyes have always kind of bothered me too.

[rybett]

Borg ponies!!! 

[hathorcat]

Oh wow PKW...Sweet Pop is lovely without the TEs [may have to reconsider earlier comments ]...

AppleJack finds more TEs in a second story as well in the UK Comics - also in a cave, this time living with a flying fish...and no I am not joking lol!

[Galactica]

WOw- now I have to find the flying fish story!

These stories seem a little intense for kids!  Get a load of this one- where baby ponies come from- NOT where you think....

Good thing the rest of those poor ponies made it out of the cave!  Prolly had to eat mushrooms instead of apples and alfalfa (do MLPs eat alfalfa?)

[Doedeardarling]

What horrible story for the origins of TEs. It's so not going to my headcannon. I always liked their sparkly eyes. I think Hasbro should bring them back in this Crystal Pony series of theirs.

[ButtercreamDream]

No way!  I love love love the TE ponies!  Now, the BBE babies, on the other hand...  I would love to have all of those without the beddie bye eyes!

[Enolaalone]

Oh my God, now I want all my old comics back! I had completely forgotten the phrase 'ponyfeathers', but I am completely bringing it back. People will not think that is crazy at all. 

On topic, I am not a twinkle-eye fan. The ponies themselves are pretty but I don't like the eyes. I recently got a lovely Quackers, but only because Baby Quackers is one of my favourites and I wanted her to have her mum. Speaking of baby ponies, I think I remember that story! It might've been in an annual.

[Evening_Moonstone]

I hate TE's.  I think they are creepy (I feel that way about the BBEs too).  It's a shame, because otherwise I love some of the TE color combos - but I can't get past the eyes. :\

[Gingerbread]

TEs are awesome! I plan of having a custom of all my fave ponies twinkle-eyed

[nemubones]

I used think as a kid they were creepy too, my first TE being Quackers since my mom thought she was pretty. Now, I can't help but adore TE's guess they just get on me in my later years. Of course, I do find the TE's background story still weird but kinda neat at the same time.
